As a fan who has followed the adventures of Deadpool and Wolverine for years, I can’t help but feel frustrated and confused by some inconsistencies in their latest team-up, “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Vanessa, the love interest of Deadpool, is one such element that leaves me scratching my head.
In simpler terms, the movie “Deadpool and Wolverine” from around 2019 onwards in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is packed with many characters from Fox and Marvel. It’s not just a buddy-cop film; it explores multiple universes to give a final farewell to numerous superheroes. Some viewers may feel drained, while others will be thrilled. Regardless, you get lots of action and excitement for your money. However, due to the fast-paced nature of a Deadpool movie and the abundance of events, some issues with the script might go unnoticed until after the film ends. Only then do the logical inconsistencies in the story become apparent.
In the intricate web of “Deadpool and Wolverine,” where various comic book movie narratives intertwine, the script faces a challenge in maintaining coherent logic. Consequently, some elements may seem illogical or senseless. For instance, there are moments when familiar characters inexplicably return to life, which can leave viewers puzzled. Moreover, there are notable absences of characters from previous “Deadpool” installments and storylines that seem to lead nowhere. These confusing aspects include a multitude of Easter eggs intended for dedicated Marvel Cinematic Universe fans but may leave others baffled rather than amused.
Cable’s absence is never addressed
In their initial conversation during a job interview with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is questioned about his teamwork background. Deadpool shares that he had only a few experiences in this area, one of which was heading up the X-Force team. He adds wryly that all members, except for Cable (Josh Brolin), have met their end. Deadpool acknowledges Cable’s survival despite serving as the primary adversary in “Deadpool 2” and even depicting a scene where they strolled off together in slow motion at film’s end.
The implication earlier suggested that Cable and Deadpool had become friends, and that Cable could potentially move on from his troubled past, which was deeply rooted in the loss of his family. However, it appears this relationship has ended, with Deadpool now regarding Cable as deceased. This development is particularly intriguing given that other X-Force members, such as Shatterstar, have been shown to be alive in “Deadpool and Wolverine,” despite being killed in “Deadpool 2.” The absence of Cable and the casual explanation for it leave us perplexed. It’s possible that Marvel Studios decided against introducing another character portrayed by Josh Brolin in the MCU, following his role as Thanos. Alternatively, Deadpool’s comment about Cable during a job interview might be just another one of his sarcastic quips. Whatever the explanation, this comment raises more questions than it answers.
Captain America’s proto-shield survives
Near the end of Wade’s job interview, Happy Hogan explains to a skeptical guest why the Avengers are renowned superheroes. He highlights their self-sacrificing nature and moral values. Meanwhile, the scene transitions to memorabilia from the initial Marvel Cinematic Universe stories. Notable artifacts shown include the arc reactor from “Iron Man,” demonstrating Tony Stark’s compassionate side, and a Captain America shield prototype featured in “Iron Man 2.” It is quite unusual to see this shield in Happy’s office, as it was previously seen in Tony Stark’s garage.
Between the releases of “Iron Man 2” and “Deadpool and Wolverine,” the garage where Tony Stark kept his shield was destroyed, along with the rest of his mansion, in “Iron Man 3.” Although Tony went back to the wreckage at the end of that film to salvage any remaining items, the prototype shield was not among them. But how did this shield end up in Happy Hogan’s office instead? Shouldn’t it have been at the bottom of the ocean off the Malibu coast? This intriguing detail from an early Marvel Cinematic Universe installment seems to overlook one of Tony’s most significant experiences.
It’s strangely easy for Deadpool to hop timelines
In this scene from “Deadpool and Wolverine,” Deadpool jumps through different dimensions to find a new version of Wolverine to anchor his timeline. During his journey, audiences are treated to various comic-book accurate Wolverine costumes worn by Hugh Jackman. One costume is a nod to Wolverine’s earliest comics appearance where he fights The Hulk. For those who have always imagined Henry Cavill in the role of Wolverine, this scene offers a brief and surprising glimpse into that possibility.
The intriguing aspect of this sequence is that Deadpool encounters no resistance from Time Variance Authority agents during his timeline hopping. Surprisingly, despite his long list of slain TVA agents, Deadpool seems to wander through different timelines unchallenged, as if he’s strolling through an abandoned house. This oddity weakens the intimidating presence of the movie’s portrayal of the TVA. After all, if they can’t apprehend Deadpool with their technology designed for time travel, what real power do they possess? Regrettably, introducing consistent antagonistic tension might undermine the film’s commitment to showcasing various comic book references, nostalgic costumes, and fan-castings.
Cassandra Nova’s power level fluctuates
In the comic series “Deadpool and Wolverine,” the TVA isn’t the only formidable opponent for our heroes that experiences fluctuating power levels. The primary antagonist, Cassandra Nova (played by Emma Corrin), is introduced as the wicked sister of X-Men’s founder and leader, Charles Xavier. While Charles has used his psychic abilities to locate mutants and promote peace on Earth, Cassandra employs her powers for destruction and mental torment. She is a formidable adversary with immense power, capable of launching Deadpool across the room with just a flick of her finger.
As an avid fan, I can relate to the intriguing complexity of Nova, a formidable adversary in the Marvel universe. Her powers are remarkably versatile, adapting to each scene’s demands much like any other powerful comic book villain would. However, when it comes to face-to-face confrontations, her actions can be unpredictable and perplexing.
So many X-Men baddies are suddenly alive
In The Void, a domain governed by Cassandra Nova at the end of time, it’s assumed that recognizable Marvel characters, such as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch (Chris Evans), Blade (Wesley Snipes), and Elektra (Jennifer Garner), are based on their earlier incarnations. These figures make a logical appearance given they were alive in the last depiction of them. However, Cassandra Nova’s troops pose a conundrum. The ranks of her enemies comprise an assortment of antagonists from past “X-Men” films, including Toad (Ray Park), Lady Deathstrike, Azazel, and Sabretooth (Tyler Mane).
It’s surprising that most of these mutant characters, such as Toad, Deathstrike, and Azazel, who previously appeared on screen, have seemingly met their demise. Psylocke and The Blob are among the few exceptions since they didn’t die in the canonical storyline. However, it remains unclear if some of these villains are the original ones or variants from other universes, which adds to the confusion over how they ended up there. The use of nostalgia as a storytelling device raises intriguing timeline quandaries regarding these background antagonists.
Pyro has a bizarre revenge plan
As someone who has studied human behavior for years, I can’t help but be intrigued by the complex and often irrational nature of revenge. It’s a powerful emotion that can cloud people’s judgment and lead them to do things that seem illogical in hindsight. Take Pyro from “Deadpool and Wolverine,” for example.
After Deadpool and Wolverine suppress Nova’s mental abilities using Juggernaut’s helmet, Pyro suddenly appears, holding a gun. He shoots Nova a few times, stating his reasons for turning against her. Wolverine interrupts Pyro’s soliloquy by knocking him out, commenting, “Not everyone gets a speech.” If Pyro had wanted to express his feelings, it’s odd that he didn’t just shoot Nova in the face – the location of her power – when he had the opportunity. Instead, he chooses to aim for her stomach, which ultimately leads to his own demise at her hands. The desire for revenge often causes people to act irrationally, but every detail of Pyro’s plan for retribution is particularly unusual.
X-23 exists in The Void
In a new twist for Marvel stories, Dafne Keen as X-23/Laura reappears among a select group of superheroes, including Blade (Mahan Mahal), Elektra (Elizabeth Olsen), and Gambit (Channing Tatum). They’ve been living in The Void for what seems like an eternity. Blade and Elektra explain that they were transported there after their timelines were altered, a nod to the sudden endings of “Blade” and “Daredevil” franchises from the 2000s. However, X-23’s appearance in The Void, seven years after her introduction in “Logan,” raises intriguing questions about her background.
The beginning of “Deadpool and Wolverine” makes it clear that “Logan” is set in the same world as this film. Therefore, X-23 from “Logan” also exists in Deadpool’s universe, but she seems to be in danger. It’s puzzling why the TVA would send X-23 to The Void since her timeline will soon be erased, which should eliminate any chance of her returning. Watching Jackman and Keen reunite on screen after “Logan” is a pleasant surprise. However, trying to understand why X-23 is in The Void only highlights the complexities and confusion often found in multiverse stories.
Mr. Paradox launches the Time Ripper while in the timeline
Mr. Paradox’s malevolent scheme with the Time Ripper device is evident. Growing impatient with the lengthy process of eliminating faulty timelines, he intends to expedite it. The first target: Earth-10005, a universe inhabited by Wade and other Fox/Marvel characters. However, the timing of Mr. Paradox’s launch plan for the Time Ripper remains puzzling. This machine is stationed at a subway station opposite Wade’s apartment, which also serves as a base for the TVA. Yet, it’s inexplicable why Mr. Paradox and his minions are managing a Time Ripper within a timeline they aim to eliminate right away.
If Mr. Paradox successfully carries out his scheme, both he and the TVA employees, as well as all inhabitants of Earth-10005, will be erased. It’s a mystery why Paradox’s team can’t use this device from the TVA headquarters or another timeline instead. Dramatically speaking, it makes sense for Wolverine and Deadpool to try stopping the Time Ripper in their own territory. However, according to the rules of “Deadpool and Wolverine,” Mr. Paradox’s approach to using the Time Ripper is questionable at best and dangerously reckless at worst.
Vanessa’s new boyfriend magically vanishes
At the beginning of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” during Wade’s birthday party, it comes up casually that he and Vanessa Carlyle (Morena Baccarin) have ended their relationship. To drive the point home, Vanessa mentions she’s now seeing someone named Dalton. His life seems uneventful compared to Vanessa’s happiness, but Wade asks if Wade has anyone new in his life, and he reveals he doesn’t. This underscores that Wade is still deeply in love with Vanessa, further emphasizing his sense of insignificance. However, by the end of “Deadpool and Wolverine,” as they navigate multiversal madness together, Wade gains a newfound appreciation for the importance of friends.
In the last scene of the movie, it seems that Wade and Vanessa may get back together as they playfully flirt during dinner. However, the new man in Vanessa’s life is not present or mentioned in this part, and he is never brought up again as the film ends. This hint of Vanessa having a definite future outside of her ex-boyfriend fades away just as it appeared. The audience is left pondering on this development before it is suddenly dropped, which is both confusing and disappointing. Instead of exploring how Wade’s life progresses, the movie reverts back to the original “Deadpool” setup. Similar to how Vanessa was treated in “Deadpool 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine,” this narrative choice does not do justice to her character.
Wolverine stays in Earth-10005
In the comic book series “Deadpool and Wolverine,” I came across a version of Wolverine that was drastically different from the one I knew from movies like “Logan” and the “X-Men” franchise. This wasn’t the strong, brooding, and noble Wolverine I was accustomed to; instead, it was a drunken, regret-ridden hero clad in a yellow supersuit. In his universe, Earth-10005, this Wolverine had been lost, and Deadpool aimed to bring him over as a replacement for the anchor figure that had perished in “Logan.” In my mind, having such a powerful being on our side could potentially save our timeline. However, things didn’t go as planned, and we faced an adventure that put the entire multiverse at risk. By the end of it all, the “worst” Wolverine stayed behind in Earth-10005 and became a part of my social circle.
I can’t help but feel a pang of unease as Mr. Paradox once warned us that uprooting “anchor beings” is a perilous act. This could mean the downfall of an entire timeline. The thought of this alternate Wolverine, presumably acting as the anchor in Earth-10005, merrily dining with Deadpool and friends, leaves me shuddering. In my original timeline, Wolverine’s absence is likely causing chaos or even its demise, at the hands of the TVA or simply collapsing on its own.
