I know, it was bizarre. I would be Mad-Maxy, but that’s an IP violation.
The character was Psylocke but it wasn’t the original actress Olivia Munn.
A lot of googling reveals the actress is Ayesha Hussain, a stuntwoman.
I guess I’ll be the dissenting and say I found it pretty forgettable in that I won’t be thinking about it much less remember it in a week.
I’ll preface this by saying I never found Ryan Reynolds to be funny so his entire Deadpool schtick is lost on me since I am either bored or eyerolling at the obvious jokes that attempt to be edgy by either being referential or vulgar or both.
The rest of the movie just felt like recycled trendy ideas from other flicks. Bringing back old superheroes from other studios films? Didn’t we just do that with Tobey Maguire and Micheal Keaton?
A whole lot of odd Deadpool characters (dogpool, kidpool, girlpool)? Didn’t we just do that with Into the Spiderverse?
A desolate garbage like place with oddities that our hero is stuck in? Thor Ragnarock anybody?
And getting stabbed in the genitals with sharp objects is funny/shocking after maybe one? Two times? After the 500th time you kind of take a deep breath and wait for inconsequential WWE style fight to be done with.
So hate to be the sourpuss at the party but it’s not the movie for this 50 something. But it seems to be what everyone else wants these days and it will make a few billion dollars so we’ll end up getting more of this. Enjoy.
And you still thought it was a good idea to go watch the third Deadpool movie?
Comic-wise, the Deadpool Corps date back to 2010.

Indeed.
This is Deadpool. You already know who he is, I assume, in which case you should already know this isn’t a movie for you.
And if this is, inexplicably, your first exposure to The Deadpool Experience in your entire life, well, now you know better.
So this movie puts the Deadpool movies in the same universe as “Logan”? As in while Deadpool 1 and 2 were going on there’s genetically-modified grain about suppressing mutants, and self-driving trucks on the highway?
Oh, it makes no sense. Zero. Just like Deadpool knowing he’s in a movie and that he is played by Ryan Reynolds.
It’s best to not think about that, specially since Logan should not be dead yet anyways.
And then the time lines were being deleted forward to back…maybe the only reference to this. Uh, but how Deadpool was at Logams grave…did he time travel forward? The TVA did show up…
At that point he had a TVA time pad thingie. The problem is why did the TVA contact him BEFORE Logan was dead.
They exist outside of time, don’t they?
I mean, there’s nothing really strictly contradictory about it per se. One thing I liked about Logan was the “near future, some advanced tech, but not evenly distributed” setting. Certainly there could be self driving good enough for bulk transport on highways at the same time as Dopinder being able to make a viable living as cab driver in the city.
It does add a certain colour to the setting though. Especially with the grimdarkest movie happening at the same time as the goofiest movies.
I think the best way to integrate continuities between Logan and the Deadpool movies is to just ignore the parts where they state definite years, and approach it as, “Deadpool movies take place now-ish, Logan takes place a bit in the future.”
I thought it showed that there were at least 10,001 universes, and you can hop from one to another as easily as transferring to the “uptown local” line.
I suppose it was established that Mr. Pool got abducted by the TVA, then went to dig up the Logan in his own universe, then started bopping around looking for another Logan he could borrow for a little while.
I hope there’s another universe where Wade and Vanessa never broke up.
I am still confused by the fact that it refers to the Interview with Happy Hogan as taking place in Universe 616 in the beginning. I am not sure how that can possibly be.
Deadpool had the teleport thingie from cable from the last movie at the end, he went around using it.
Or anyone else for that matter.
Iman Vellani agrees.
“Every time I talk to Kevin, we have this argument where I say, ‘The MCU is not 616,’” she says, referring to the name for the Marvel Universe’s main Earth continuity. “He’s like, ‘It is because I said so.’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s 199999’ [a different Earth continuity previously outlined by Marvel]. He hates it. So, we keep having this argument, and then they put 616 in the movie. I’m like, ‘Kevin, you know it’s not 616.’ He just sends me a sad face. I was like, ‘Great.’”
