Captain America is asked to re-build the Avengers, Harrison Ford is for sure the Red Hulk, the Serpent Society is going to be a thing, and Adamantium is in the main MCU!

The Fantastic Four movie has a new title, shows some (very) early footage, and the big purple baddy himself, Galactus!

And, yes, Robert Downey Jr is playing Doom, but the real Doom is capitalism.

There is some good and some bad here, but we are getting, maybe, three Marvel movies next year and some big Avengers movies in 2026 and 2027. For MCU fans, not bad.

This movie is loosely based on a lot of comic IPs, but Old Man Logan might be the most important, maybe.

Yes, X-23 is from the comics. She’s Wolverine, now.

Deadpool does have a healing factor. But is it THIS good? And if you are blown apart and put back together, were you dead for a little while? What’s going on here. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Wade_Wilson_(Earth-616)

Domino is actually great in this movie, and I like the characters representation here. It’s pretty accurate. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Neena_Thurman_(Earth-616)

Firefist is a real Marvel character, one that no one cares about. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Russell_Collins_(Earth-616)

Josh Brolin as Cable is perfect, perfect casting. I actually can’t believe that got him for this stupid movie.

Will all the time traveling lead to the TVA in Deadpool 3? Maybe.

Show Notes

In the movie, it is suggested that Deadpool has latent mutant powers. There is no where from the comics. In the comics, Deadpool gets his abilities from Wolverine. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Wade_Wilson_(Earth-616)#Weapon_X

Vanessa is also from the comics, as the mutant Copycat. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Vanessa_Carlysle_(Earth-616)

And, yes, Blind Al is from the comics too. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Blind_Al_(Althea)_(Earth-616)

Apparently, Deadpool is “inspired” from Spider-man, even though he has a lot of similarities with DC’s Deathstroke. 

https://screenrant.com/deadpool-spiderman-ripoff-rob-liefeld-marvel-comics/

Ajax is from the comics, but no one cares.

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Francis_Fanny_(Earth-616)

The same with Angel Dust. 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Angel_Dust_(Christine)_(Earth-616)

There is some confusion about which timeline this movie takes place in. I think it’s an alternative version of the Singer X-Men. But, maybe not.

Magneto rips out Wolverine’s adamantium, and it was almost exactly like it happened in the comics.

The relationship between Cable, Jean and Scott is complicated in the comics and in this episode as well.

Rogue got her powers from Carol Danvers, by the way.
