  • Great cast. Writer seems capable. Director looks a little new when it comes to films, but solid foundation. We know Marvel is doing a soft reset when it comes to films/TV to give them the time we need.

    The early 2000 films were good, admittedly they are a product of their time and a little overly camp, but that was the style at the time.

    The later film was actually an ok film for he first 2/3rd and only after that, the ending, did it turn to shit.

    I have no reason to expect this film will be bad. Worst case is it will be whelming, but I expect a pretty solid film.



  • The timelines and universes for “X-Men” are far from straightforward, but in short Fox owned the rights to X-Men, including Deadpool. As a result all of the X-Men films exist outside of the MCU.

    As a similar example, Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man. As a result Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield Spider-Men exist outside of the MCU. (Ignoring for a moment that the MCU didn’t even exist when some of those films came out.)

    However when it came time for Tom Holland Spider-Man, Sony & Disney made a deal and that Spider-Man is part of the MCU. Eventually this gave us a Spider-Man film with multiverses, and all three Spider-Men appearing in an MCU film.

    The new Deadpool is going to do the same. Deadpool will deal with multiverses and this time pull from the Fox “X-Men” universes, making them MCU characters. No deal with Fox is needed since Disney acquired Fox a few years ago.

    So the old films aren’t technically MCU films, but they may have characters who will later appear in the MCU. But also these characters might be slightly different because multiverses.




  • I agree but this article just seems to clarify they have no idea what branding works.

    It’s “Marvel Spotlight” so you don’t need to have seen anything. Then Echo comes out and the first episode is basically a recap and hopefully enough context.

    Now it’s “Marvel Television” which means the same thing so watch “Agatha All Along” which will 100% depend on WandaVision and maybe a little bit of Multiverse of Madness.

    I agree that She-Hulk or even more so Moon Knight can be watched solo, but maybe give some context.

    She-Hulk does depend on Endgame. I get Endgame is the biggest movie of all time (at release time), so it’s a given, but figure out how to clarify or set the clear expectations of a recap.







  • It seems like a Vulcan Mind Meld can cure just about anything.

    In “Flashback” from Voyager Tuvok melds with a close family member, in this case Janeway, to fix his disease.

    In “Endgame” from Voyager it is implied that a meld will cure Tuvok’s disease.

    In “Sarek” from TNG melding with Picard resolves Sarek’s emotional control.

    I would expect rather than a sex industry they have those that specialize in mind melds. Perhaps a specific family member.

    Having a backup option would still be logical, so random sex is still on the table.
