As a long-time Marvel fan and someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of the Marvel Universe, I find myself pondering over the peculiarities of the Deadpool variants and the TVA’s handling of these characters.
The movie featuring Deadpool and Wolverine has been a massive success at the box office, raking in an impressive $1.25 billion globally. This places it as the seventh highest-grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the top earner among X-Men films, and the most profitable R-rated movie of all time. Although critics had varying opinions, they generally leaned towards positive reviews. It seems that audiences have been captivated by the humorous team-up of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in this multiverse buddy comedy.
I must admit, despite noticeable plot inconsistencies that might sink other films, I’ve found myself captivated by the dynamic duo of Deadpool and Wolverine. Somehow, these characters manage to keep me engaged, in spite of the flaws that would typically draw harsh criticism from critics and audiences alike.
A plot hole is often described as a point in a story where the narrative or a character disregards a rule previously established within the story, leading to inconsistencies with what was set up earlier. However, the term “plot hole” has become somewhat vague and ambiguous in recent years, leading people to misuse it to describe elements of a film that do not actually qualify as plot holes, such as events happening off-screen or actions taken by characters that viewers find unexpected. In reality, these instances do not conform to the true definition of a plot hole.
As a dedicated movie enthusiast, let me share my thoughts on the latest blockbuster, “Deadpool & Wolverine.” This film, nestled within the expansive worlds of both the 20th Century Fox X-Men Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), dares to shatter numerous conventions that these franchises had carefully established. Here are some of the most glaring plot inconsistencies I noticed in “Deadpool & Wolverine.
9 How Did Deadpool Get to Earth 616?
Right from the outset, it becomes evident that Deadpool and Wolverine depict Wade Wilson’s journey into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), specifically Earth 616/The Sacred Timeline. This is suggested by the post-credit scene in Deadpool 2, where he employs Cable’s time machine to travel back and change the past so that his girlfriend, Vanessa, perishes.
In visiting Earth 616, Deadpool aims to become a member of The Avengers and experience a sense of importance; one of the movie’s numerous self-referential jokes revolves around how fans viewed non-MCU Marvel films as inconsequential, as they could not intersect with the storylines of The Avengers.
Deadpool is familiar with Earth 616 and The Avengers, yet this doesn’t create a plot inconsistency because his unique ability to break the fourth wall allows for such narrative flexibility. However, an inconsistency arises in regards to how he traveled to another dimension, as Cable’s time machine operates differently in that regard.
Universal Differences in Time Travel
In the movie Deadpool 2, it’s shown that Cable’s time-travel gadget operates under the same principles as the one in X-Men: Days of Future Past – when someone goes back to the past, their actions can alter the future. Conversely, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with Avengers: Endgame, we see that time travel doesn’t affect the traveler’s own future but rather splits the timeline within the multiverse, as changes made in the past generate a fresh reality.
In my opinion, the time-travel gadget of Cable ought to enable Deadpool to journey into the past within the X-Men timeline of 20th Century Fox, yet it’s crucial that he is unable to leap across multiverses.
8 Logan Takes Place After Deadpool & Wolverine, So Logan Should Still Be Alive
In this tale, Deadpool unearths Wolverine’s grave after his selfless demise in the movie “Logan” from 2017. Upon investigation, Deadpool confirms that Wolverine has indeed met his end. The reason for Deadpool’s quest is that Logan’s passing caused a series of disturbances across various realities, and as the Anchor, Wolverine’s death implies that the X-Men universe under 20th Century Fox is fading away.
After learning that Wolverine is indeed deceased, Deadpool embarks on a journey through various universes to locate a new Wolverine counterpart. However, Deadpool often finds himself in deep trouble because the events depicted in the movie ‘Logan’ haven’t taken place yet in his own timeframe.
Timeline Doesn’t Add Up
In a different timeline, the movie Deadpool & Wolverine is set in 2024, which is six years after the events of Deadpool 2. However, ignoring discrepancies in their respective timelines, both films are said to take place within the same universe as Logan. So, according to the 20th Century Fox timeline (Earth 10005), the character Logan hasn’t yet died and will continue living until around 2029.
either traveling back in time to prevent Wolverine’s death during the events of “Logan,” or simply asking his friend Colossus for a trip to the X-Mansion to meet Wolverine. Alternatively, he could have gone back to the end of “Logan” and saved him, thus resolving the multiverse issue.
7 How Exactly Do Anchor Beings Work?
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), one of Deadpool and Wolverine’s most pivotal backstories is a topic of much debate. The film introduces the idea of ‘Cosmic Tethers’, entities so crucial to their universe that upon death, they gradually disappear. In Deadpool’s world, it was Wolverine who served as the Cosmic Tether.
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, let me share my thoughts on an intriguing observation. You know how Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was the shining star of the X-Men film series? Well, it seems the franchise had a hard time maintaining its shine without him, except for Deadpool. But when we step out of the realm of the X-Men Universe (MCU) and view this as a real-life phenomenon, it presents some challenges.
Anchor Beings Don’t Make Sense as an In-Universe Concept or a Meta Joke
If an Anchor Being dies, their universe ceases to exist. But what about universes before their Anchor Being was born? How do they function? Is being an Anchor Being a selfless act or is it predestined? Does this mean the Anchor Being is fated to be born in that particular timeline, or does a specific action make one an Anchor Being? Does the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have an Anchor Being, and if so, who is it?
If there is an anchor character in the MCU, does this contradict the MCU’s overarching theme that heroes are not predestined, but choose their own paths to heroism? In a broader perspective, having Wolverine as the Anchor Being seems illogical because the success of both Deadpool and Deadpool 2 demonstrated that X-Men films could function without Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine. The decline of the franchise was not primarily due to Jackman leaving the role, but rather due to Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox. Upon further contemplation, the concept of Anchor Beings raises more questions than answers.
6 If Paradox Is Going Behind the TVA’s Back, Why Does He Care About Deadpool?
In simpler terms, the concept of Anchor Beings might have been initially portrayed as false information provided by Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen), the film’s antagonist, to Deadpool. However, this notion is later validated by a new leader of the Time Variance Authority, Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku). Therefore, it seems that Anchor Beings do indeed exist as per the confirmation from Hunter B-15. It’s also worth noting that Mr. Paradox pretends to be an employee of the TVA, but Deadpool soon discovers that he and his team operate covertly against the leadership’s wishes due to their disagreement with the new order in Loki season 2 regarding preserving timelines.
As a passionate film enthusiast, I can tell you that this character seems determined to end Earth 1005, recognizing its slow demise following the Anchor Being’s passing. Instead of letting it suffer for millennia, he intends to swiftly end its suffering out of compassion. Interestingly, despite his meticulous adherence to rules, there are hints that he’s got a soft spot for Deadpool – suggesting he might be planning to bring him into the picture.
Mr. Paradox Is Himself a Paradox
In the case of Deadpool and Wolverine, it attempts to provide an explanation, albeit one that raises additional questions. Mr. Paradox hints at the higher-ups (a clever reference to Marvel/Disney) wishing to rescue Deadpool from his universe’s destruction due to their larger plans for him. This notion is reinforced by a scene showing Thor shedding tears over a dying Deadpool, suggesting this tragic event may occur in the future.
If Mr. Paradox is prepared to defy the TVA authorities, one might wonder why Deadpool’s survival matters to him. Given that he doesn’t seem to have any issues sending Deadpool to the Void, it’s puzzling how he would account for his actions to the higher-ups who desired Deadpool alive. Moreover, it’s unclear how he would explain the sudden demise of Earth 1005 without disclosing that he employed a time ripper on it. It seems as though Mr. Paradox should not care about Deadpool, unless the plot wouldn’t unfold otherwise.
5 Where Are Russell, Domino, and Cable?
As for Cable, it’s worth noting that he doesn’t appear in the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine”. This film also features Dominio and Russell Collins/Firefist, all of whom were prominent characters in “Deadpool 2”. By the end of the second movie, these characters seem to have formed a tight-knit group with Deadpool, with Russell even taking on a fatherly role. However, in “Deadpool & Wolverine”, none of these three characters are mentioned, not even Dominio or Russell. The film offers a vague explanation for Cable’s absence by saying he “didn’t test well in focus groups,” but no such reason is given for the others.
In an unexpected twist, the intense battle between Deadpool and Wolverine is strikingly poignant considering that a significant part of their story revolves around Deadpool’s relentless struggle to protect his universe and the beings within it whom he considers as his own.
Half of Deadpool’s Family is Missing
The fact that Cable and Domino weren’t present could be simply explained as they were on a mission, but it does take away the fun meta-joke about their similarity to MCU’s Thanos, both played by Josh Brolin. However, Russell’s absence seems puzzling since Deadpool 2 heavily revolved around Wade Wilson bonding with him and providing a new family by the end. Leaving Russell out of Deadpool’s birthday party or failing to even mention him feels like a significant oversight.
In the movie “Deadpool 2”, Shatterstar, who appeared as a brief character, is included in Deadpool’s family portrait but not adopted as his son in the traditional sense? This oversight stands out even more when you consider how much Deadpool and Russell’s relationship in “Deadpool 2” resembles Wolverine and Laura’s bond in “Logan”. Given that Dafne Keene was brought back for the film, the absence of Russell left one particular plot aspect unexplored.
4 When Did Pyro Start Working with Mr. Paradox?
In the movie, Mr. Paradox is depicted as one of Deadpool and Wolverine’s adversaries. However, it also showcases a variety of other antagonists that were prominent during the Marvel movies era produced by 20th Century Fox. Characters such as Juggernaut, Lady Deathstrike, and Toad can be seen in the Void, serving under the main villain, Cassandra Nova, portrayed by Emma Corrin.
Among Cassandra Nova’s key lieutenants is Pyro, who returns to his role as portrayed by Aaron Stanford in both “X2: X-Men United” and “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Despite appearing loyal to Cassandra Nova, there comes a moment in the film where Pyro makes an unusual call – not from an ordinary cell phone, but one capable of reaching across time, space, and dimensions. This is none other than Mr. Paradox, who resides in the Void.
Ryan Reynolds Mint Mobile Gets Great Reception in the Void
It’s preposterous that Pyro is phoning Mr. Paradox on a cell phone, yet that’s not the most puzzling aspect. Who initiated the contact between them, and when did this phone come into existence to facilitate communication between these two parties? Was it Mr. Paradox who contacted Pyro, and had he been working for Mr. Paradox as a double agent against Cassandra Nova all along, or was Pyro just one of the few actors who reprised his role? Or could it be that Pyro obtained a phone that can call Paradox outside the constraints of time and space?
It appears he plans to use the information against Paradox, possibly coercing him into releasing him. But how does he know how to reach him, or was Paradox the TVA Agent he intended to communicate with? Was this their initial interaction, or had they engaged before? Unfortunately, the viewers don’t get to learn these details as Pyro mentions he will share it with Cassandra Nova, but we never witness that exchange.
3 How Did Cassandra Nova Go From the Void to the Fox Universe With Just a Sling Ring?
In Cassandra Nova’s own words, she was born confined within the Vastness and has governed it since then. In the movie’s concluding moments, she employs a mystical artifact known as a sling ring, obtained from a sorcerer who seems to be a variant of Doctor Strange that she eliminated, to traverse from the Void into the Deadpool Universe.
Instead of wondering why Cassandra Nova didn’t initially act differently, given that the movie portrays her as content in the Void, we should instead focus on understanding how she manages to travel from the Void to another universe using only a sling ring, since it was only after Paradox tried to deceive her and aim to draw the entire multiverse into the Void for her rule that she decided to leave.
Sling Rings Allow People to Travel Across Their Own Dimensions, Not Others
Doctor Strange introduced the sling ring, a magical tool that creates portals for traveling within his own reality, not other realities. Although fans often connect Doctor Strange with traversing various dimensions, he does this only when boundaries between dimensions overlap, such as when visiting the Dark Dimension to battle Dormammu in his initial film. In the movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, America Chavez is shown with a unique power that enables her to move freely across multiple realities within the multiverse.
It appears that Cassandra Nova can only travel between realities if she has access to a TVA pad or America Chavez. However, her sling ring seems to contain two Infinity Stones – the Time and Reality stones. Normally, the Reality Stone alters one’s own dimension, as demonstrated when Thanos created an illusion in Avengers: Infinity War. But if this combination of stones grants Cassandra Nova the ability to travel between dimensions, it would be a new power for the Infinity Stones within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
2 Why Is Deadpool Important if All Other Deadpools Are Sent to the Void?
As the movie nears its end, Deadpool and Wolverine find themselves squaring off against the Deadpool Corps, a group of Deadpool copies that have formed a team in the Void. This squad appears to be under the command of Lady Deadpool. The film frequently hints that the Void is full of Deadpools, suggesting that he, like the character Loki, poses a problem for the TVA and many have been eliminated and sent to the Void. The question then arises: What sets the primary Deadpool apart from his counterparts?
Only One Ryan Reynolds
Currently, it’s clear that we’re referring to Ryan Reynolds as the primary Deadpool, known for his successful movies. This is why he holds a more prominent role. However, one can’t help but ponder why other Deadpool characters aren’t given similar chances of survival, beyond the amusing meta explanation.
As a diehard film enthusiast, here’s how I might rephrase your questions in a more conversational and first-person style:
1 Why Does the TVA Still Keep People in the Void?
The most exciting scene for fans starring Deadpool and Wolverine was when it was unveiled that actors from before the Marvel Cinematic Universe would reprise their roles as iconic Marvel characters such as Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Wesley Snipes as Blade, Chris Evans as the Human Torch, and even Channing Tatum as Gambit. These figures had been trapped in a sort of limbo, and at the end of Deadpool and Wolverine’s adventure, it appears they were all returned to their original realities.
With the altered state of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) as depicted in Loki , Season 2 is deviating from its initial instructions given by The Kang variant, He Who Remains. Instead, they are now focused on preserving and saving timelines, rather than pruning them. One might wonder, if the TVA operated before their organization underwent changes, why did they leave those heroes stranded in the Void initially?
The TVA is Still Pretty Bad
It’s puzzling why characters such as Blade, Elektra, and The Human Torch ended up in the Void since their universes weren’t destroyed. It seems they might have been trimmed or pruned, but it remains uncertain if this was done by Paradox or before the Time Variance Authority (TVA) reformed. After the TVA started maintaining timelines, one may wonder why they didn’t send back the pruned heroes to their own reality. Or even villains like Toad, as it seems improbable that a minor threat such as him deserves an eternal stay in a prison dimension. Given that Mr. Paradox could contact Pyro, the TVA agents could have reached out to the trapped heroes and sent them back home.
If their original universes were wiped out, these characters could’ve found themselves in another universe like “What If…?” – a place where The Watcher placed a Black Widow from a future where she was the last one standing into a world where our Black Widow had perished. Since we see variants of Gamora and Loki roaming around in the MCU, it’s plausible that something similar could have happened here too.
