I get why Deadpool & Wolverine has exploded, it is a fan-service and in-joke theme park ride. However, this also cuts out the legs from under it. Deadpool 2 did a lot to push more towards a plot and an accompanying tone shift from the first, and this latest outing undoes most of that while mixing the Marvel staples. What are the staples? Story and character motivations take a backseat to puns and cameos, like without spoiling anything consider how quick Wolverine’s motivation turns off at the end (literally zero response).
There are a lot of other issues I took but I don’t want to make this a spoiler review. Also it was weird for them to still make one character an integral part of the story while also being unable to get the original actor, at that point rewrite the part. It isn’t like the plot wasn’t already paper thin or had not already been sidelined numerous times by that point.
