Deadpool Wolverine: A Farewell to Experimental Superhero Movies
Deadpool Wolverine: A New Era Begins
Deadpool Wolverine serves as the official, final nail in the coffin of 20th Century Fox’s Marvel movies, and the welcome party that brings Deadpool and the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there’s more to the movie than Deadpool mocking the MCU and calling himself “Marvel Jesus,” come to save the Avengers. It’s also a moderately poignant goodbye letter to an entire era of superhero movie experimentation that’s now dead and gone.
Reflecting on Superhero Movie Evolution
While Hugh Jackman’s return to Wolverine in Deadpool Wolverine was wisely advertised and expected, the various 20th Century Fox Marvel cameos are surprising. These cameos celebrate characters who weren’t recognized in their time, serving as a reminder of an era focused on individuality rather than cohesive universes.
