The thing about Deadpool’s timeline dying because Logan died is basically one big meta joke about how no one cares about the fox marvel movies without Hugh Jackman
Pretty much. I was saying just a few days before the movie came out that although I loved Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, I always hated the character, especially in the movies because their plots hinged entirely on Wolverine so seeing that Deadpool's plot, itself, was an in-joke about just that was fantastic.
this could be said of the comics also though. The two big sellers for marvel are and have almost always been Spider-Man and Wolverine and probably always will be. I mean, there has to statistically be a most favorite when people count numbers; Its Batman for DC (Comics and movies as well). But yeah, they do totes make fun of that in this lol. Self-deprecating humor when applied to superheores can be pretty fun lol. Like, deadpool legit has a reason to have low self esteem, not only based on universal plot importance but evvvvvvvvery reason in all of existence that says so also since he can break the fourth wall. he even knows what you are saying RIGHT. NOW. That cant feel good lol.
One little thing i noticed that made me laugh was that every time there was a shot of the minivan. Even if it was getting splattered with blood it was framed like a car commercial. Even where it was shot, in the middle of a wheat field or in a picturesque woods setting. Fantastic.
Mike said Darth Vader’s never had jokes. “Don’t choke on your aspirations” was a full on pun and “we would be honored if you would join us” was an entire bit complete with prop work.

You can have Deadpool in the Avengers, but his 4 th wall breaks need to be facing walls 1-3 ( not into camera ) and unacknowledged by the other characters.
There is room for a "gosh these guys really take this stuff seriously huh?" or "didnt they just do this with thanos?" joke in a everyone assembles to fight the big bad and this is life and death bit, but is it worth it to make that one guy in the audience laugh slightly too loud? Does the universe benefit from stroking that one guy now theres generations raised on the THIS IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING mentality that modern marvel has spent billions building. We all know noone cares what The Eternals or The Marvels gets up to, but do the audiences who actually care know its crap? To them its like saying Pokemon was mid in the 90s
I don't know that it should be facing walls 1-3 since it's no longer a 4th wall break then, but it definitely should be either ignored by other characters or treated like he's goofing off (which he pretty much is). I think it would work fine as long as Deadpool is the ONLY character breaking the 4th wall (something Deadpool & Wolverine played a little too fast and loose with).
Lol ya that accent was legitimately hilarious and you can see how poorly it tested with the ADR jokes added in. It was a mix of Sling Blade, Minions, and like...Tagalog damn it was so bad lol
Flash 2023 is the best definition of it a punishment nostalgia @tbabbitt because it is a disrespect to homage unlike dpool and wolverine who pays tribute to end credits the movie had flaws but it is much better than Flash, but Spiderverse is better compared to Dpool and wolverine nonetheless @tbhabbitt.

WOAH my Grandma's phone number was 1 digit off my local cinema's phone number. She used to get pestered all the time asking for tickets and times. Thanks for unlocking a memory, very cool.
Simple solution. Always tell them the tickets are free. The cinema will change its number in no time. ..... a friend of mine accidently got the former number of an important business guy and all the time his contacts called. He then asked him to pass his new number to everyone but he didnt. So when he was called for hotel and flight reservations he canceled those... and all of a sudden...
The last 4 digits of my old home number used to be 3425, and I used to get calls every here and there from people saying, "Hey, do you know your phone number is 624-DICK?!" but they always hung up before I could answer.
I actually really enjoy it when they bring back nostalgic characters with decades of history, even if they're getting a bit old for the parts. I really hope they bring back Mike and Jay for the next Half in the Bag too!
The whole "personal universal anchor" thing is essenitally a sort of meta-commentary on franchises that ultimately revolve around specific persons. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was a breakout character and exceptionally popular and thus the X-Men movie franchise "existed" because they kept making more Wolverine movies.
Let's give Patrick Stewart some props here as well, if we can. Who could have been a more perfect actor to play that character. While I agree Prof. X doesn't have Wolverine potential in that respect. They always had a fantastic relation as characters and the actors crushed it, the Logan movie only solidified that! Thank you Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman, amazing work.
Reminded me of the cannon events from spiderverse. A lot of Deadpool and Wolverine reminded me of spiderverse. Down to fighting of army of variants including one dressed as a cowboy
And Sir Ian... this was very early in the genre and we got spoiled quick. A lot of amazing work in those early movies from this individuals that paved the way for for us to enjoy a lot of great movies, including this last masterpiece. Much respect!
@@garyanderson8137 Exactly, without great Xavier and Magneto, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine wouldnt have believable arc and/stakes or even real relationships. When you remove great villains from Wolverine movie, you get X-men Origins

Regarding your opening question - only Deadpool is engaging with the 4th wall breaks. People actually in the scenes with him don’t know what he’s talking about. We, essentially, exist in Deadpool’s head.
I feel like they do know, but they're too professional to acknowledge it. Like, Cavillrine KNOWS he's Cavillrine, but he stays in character anyway because what else is he gonna' do?
This is the most positive I've heard them sound on a big release in a long time. Jay sounds genuinely excited to talk about it and that never happens. It really was that fun.
@@TerribleUsernameAmirite Collective culture vs individualist culture. In a collective culture, drawing attention to yourself gets you ostracized or (in a more authoritarian country) arrested. In an individualist culture, drawing attention to yourself gets you either beaten up (if you suck at it), rich through monetizing attention, or occasionally elected president.
Henry Cavill was a nod to fans. There was a fervor among a lot of fans when X-Men 97 came out and it was confirmed that there will be MCU X-men. As fans and streams threw Wolverine replacement wishes and predictions around, Cavill was a strong pick. He went kinda meta when he popped his claws as a nod to his Mission Impossible character. I'm glad you guys covered this. You dropped off my feed for awhile. Glad YT brought you back to me.
Missed opportunity by the movie not to have Nicolas Cage cameo as Ghost Rider in at least one scene. Ironically, he would fit in the most in the Mad Max apocalypse style Void, specifically in the first Ghost Rider he looks very similar to Mel Gibson in Mad Max 1.
And here I was thinking Cage would have made a good Dr. Doom. Ghost Rider was pre-MCU and largely forgotten as it was, unlike bringing back RDJ only a few years later.
It was but still, at the same time I would like if they tried to justify that movie being in the future instead of treating it as something that happened in the past of Deadpool's universe.
@@txcforever deadpool's universe could be ahead of the logan movie, it's not exclusive. Logan is the future of x-men, with deadpool the future of logan
@@txcforeverOr the fact it was made explicitly clear that in Logan, there was only a handful of Mutants left.. But not in Deadpool. I think the Timeline shouldn’t be questioned that much cause Deadguy’s movies overall joke about the inconsistency of the timelines.
I love how Red Letter Media not only reviews the movie, but the genre the film is, what's happening with the film industry in general and what will happen next
The sheer amount of fanservice pandering was also impressive in its volume. By the fact there was so many references to fan gripes served as an acknowledgment of the depth of the problems with marvel. It was impressive how aware they actually are. They didn’t just say “ go find me a fan-service cameo” they seemingly know them all.
Hugh was great in this, as always. The explanation for why he’s wearing the suit, his shame, and ultimately his proud acceptance that he is THE X-Man was a great arc for him. I was genuinely moved by that. It’s a testament to his talent that he can imbue that character with such pathos, even with all this goofy stuff happening.
I actually stopped at about 24 minutes because of how serious Mike was about it. My roommate invited me to see it today and I'm truly glad I didn't know about the spoilers, it made it a lot more fun. Thanks guys!

@@itsGOJIRAuMORON I think it's explained in their The Acolyte re:View, i think the complete series one. The Jedi with the big head from the prequels had their age changed
@@FBI-wn2qo You can't really blame Disney for that entirely. During the age of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, George Lucas was going around looking at the stuff they were working on when he found a model of Darth Talon, the twi'kek sith. He then picked up a figurine of Darth Maul and put them together. "Hey! These two should be friends!" he announced. "Um... George, those two characters are almost 200 years apart" said one nervous intern. "I don't care! Have them time travel!"
Darth Vader makes jokes: he tells that one dude “I find your lack of faith disturbing” while choking him, then there’s the whole “Apology accepted” thing.
I like to picture Anakin speaking Vader's jokes with his aggravatingly dry smart-ass delivery sometimes. It makes it all less scary and a lot more exasperating.
You know the a Fox universe is still alive right? And that secret wars is how they're going to end it and bring in whatever characters they're gonna bring in right?
Yes…but let’s not simplify it down that far. To be technical, the founding fathers of the United States of America were criminals before they won the revolutionary war. And not all criminals are scumbags. Circumstances matter, and the crime itself matters. But yes, in this instance, you’re right. Miller is a horrible actor at best. And a scumbag in reality.
They totally got me with that scene with Rich Evans. I absolutely didn't expect him to reprise his role as Dick the Birthday Boy, but it was such a clever twist, I clapped and cheered in the theater.
He’s the best there is at what he does. And what he does best is portraying true realistic rage. Other than Mel Gibson I don’t know if there’s any actor better at that
I'm genuinely happy that you two were able to let your inner child out to play again and actually enjoyed watching a tent pole, superhero movie!!!

Darth Vader makes GREAT jokes! "Apology accepted, Captain Nieder." Or "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." Vader is hilarious. Everyone is just too terrified to laugh.
I always got the impression (in the original Trilogy) that most of the time, Vader was quite bored and had nothing but contempt the imperial command. Then Luke shows up and he gets interested again.
@@davidbowles7281 Normie Star Wars zoomers actually like the prequels which is most of the fanbase at this point. The average Star Wars fan soy faces to Anakin Skywalker and whine about bringing George back. Look at the Star Wars theory guy they mention.
@@MultiSpeedMetal I wonder if the sequel trilogy will have its day in the sun in like, 15 years, when Disney makes another trilogy, like the prequels eventually did? I don't think so. One thing the prequels had going for them was that they committed to the bit - they knew what they wanted to be, and did it. The sequel trilogy doesn't have the same focus, you can feel as you watch them that they switched directors halfway through. Whether or not George was the right person to direct the prequels, he committed to the bit in a way Disney seems to be afraid to do
@@arthurthiele979 The sequels don't have a young fanbase that will grow up like the prequels did. The sequels are barely marketed and merchandised like the prequels were, which had like a million popular video games, comics, and toys. Disney is utterly incompetent. Whether you like the prequels or not George knew how to market and merchandise successfully. The Lego partnership with the Clone Wars and Empire stuff was particularly genius. George also capitalized on video games extremely successfully while Disney has botched that. Disney makes like 2 half-assed battlefront games and sells some Rose Tico toys and calls it a day. The successful stuff they do isn't even sequel era like Jedi Survivor/Fallen Order or selling prequel and OT era lightsabers. They don't even do sequel-era comics as far as I know either. Although I kind of understand because I don't know how I would market the sequels either because how do you sell a worse version of the OT with zero interesting or even cool characters to adolescent males? I think the damage control move would be a revived Jedi order in the Rey movie with some relatable male Anakin-esque Jedi padawan and edge lord Sith/ dark Jedi whatever dudes you can make toys of and throw in games that kids might actually buy.
@@MultiSpeedMetal You do realize you're commenting this on the channel that became famous for it's 70 minute deconstruction of The Phantom Menace. Nobody liked the prequels until it became cool to hate the sequels.
Hi, Mike. You'll likely won't see this. Me and my roommate at the time met you at the Las Vegas airport in 2022. I felt bad that I recognized you and bothered you in public. So I was nervous to tell you in person that you and RedLetterMedia as a whole really helped shaped my movie appreciation since 2011 with the Star Wars Plinkett Reviews. Half in the Bag and BOTW really got me through tough times during college in the mid-2010s. Thanks for the entertainment you hack frauds!
I saw Mike Stoklasa at a grocery store in Milwaukee yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen New Glarus bottles without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bottle and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
When Deadpool breaks the 4th wall, everyone see's him talking to nothing. He canonically has schizophrenia and his healing factor means he cant take medication for it. So when you see turn to the camera imagine that he is staring off into space referring to no one. 17:51 the camera flips 180 to show no glass broken or boom mic.
You can have Deadpool in more serious Marvel films. They would just have to depict Deadpool as a schizophrenic, and only show the 4th wall breaks from a 3rd person view, making him look crazy. Then just have everyone treat him like he's crazy...
There's plenty of examples in the comics of this. Taking away the 4th wall breaking still leaves you with a lot! Reynolds really owns the character though, so I think it would be extremely challenging to have him in a movie where he's not allowed to do all that he does to make his movies work. They'd probably have to really tone down the MCU house quippiness so he could do his thing.
That’s a terrible idea because time travel exists in the Marvel universe. Deadpool breaks the fourth wall much like time travel does. The best use case for introducing Deadpool is if and ONLY IF you were using Deadpool to nerf time travel and establish stakes for the MCU again.
I vote for Joseph Moviephone because "mixed up the movie phone nunber" was already a Seinfeld bit with Kramer, who then pretends to be the moviephone robot
Channing Tatum's Cajun accent sold me, and the Old Boy shot was certainly a highlight. Its was like a Ween album, comedic and chaotic, but coming from a place of sincere admiration for the genre and characters.
To be fair about Logan dying in Logan... Logan is set way into the future. There were self-driving big rigs, all of the X-Men were dead. Having a show set in modern day with Wolverine isn't bringing him back to life. Logan was a great send off to Hugh Jackman's portrayal of the character, but this doesn't make the character cheaper.
Disney actually did put time travel in Star Wars already in the cartoon Rebels. What Mike said about a doctor strange portal saving Palpatine from death is quite literally what they do to save a separate character named Ahsoka.
12:19 - You guys are familiar with Kevin Smith's story about working on that screenplay and how the producer wouldn't shut up about adding a giant spider and after it all fell apart that's the guy produced Wild, Wild West, right? -- ...so the best "cameo"/reference in that sequence is the giant CG spider.

I was actually at that ...Evening w/ Kevin Smith recording, btw! _(the one at IU)_
I thought Mike was betraying us old men by using a phone for his notes instead of his usual folded paper, but he screenshot another screen. Thank you, my son.
Deadpool's universe dying due to Logan's death is basically a giant meta-joke about how with Wolverine dead, no one really cares about Fox's X-Men/mutant universe anymore and it would slowly die out. It's also makes the cameos from the all the other non-MCU comic book movies in the Void that much funnier/cooler. Deadpool & Wolverine is like a giant love-letter to ALL those comic book movies (at least the Marvel based ones, sorry DC fans,) that have been keeping audiences entertained for decades before the MCU came along.
I think as well whenever Deadpool claims to be “Marvel Jesus” he means within the movie but also the MCU as a whole with the recent movies doing so poorly. He and his movie are there to save the MCU.
yeah this movie was basically acknowledging all the marvel movies that didnt make it into MCU, but they had to happen so that MCU could happen. Exactly same as they did with andrew garfields spiderman. It's respecting the actors work and dedication to portraying the characters before there was anything estbalished, rules etc. This movie is a giant salute to the good and bad comic book movies that came before.

You can have Deadpool in the Avengers, but his 4 th wall breaks need to be facing walls 1-3 ( not into camera ) and unacknowledged by the other characters.
There is room for a "gosh these guys really take this stuff seriously huh?" or "didnt they just do this with thanos?" joke in a everyone assembles to fight the big bad and this is life and death bit, but is it worth it to make that one guy in the audience laugh slightly too loud? Does the universe benefit from stroking that one guy now theres generations raised on the THIS IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING mentality that modern marvel has spent billions building. We all know noone cares what The Eternals or The Marvels gets up to, but do the audiences who actually care know its crap? To them its like saying Pokemon was mid in the 90s
@@masteroogway6660 I am that one guy and it was important to me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I don't know that it should be facing walls 1-3 since it's no longer a 4th wall break then, but it definitely should be either ignored by other characters or treated like he's goofing off (which he pretty much is). I think it would work fine as long as Deadpool is the ONLY character breaking the 4th wall (something Deadpool & Wolverine played a little too fast and loose with).
Yeah it’s not like there’s hundreds of comics and other media where Deadpool is part of a team that they could use for reference or anything…

The whole "personal universal anchor" thing is essenitally a sort of meta-commentary on franchises that ultimately revolve around specific persons. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was a breakout character and exceptionally popular and thus the X-Men movie franchise "existed" because they kept making more Wolverine movies.
Let's give Patrick Stewart some props here as well, if we can. Who could have been a more perfect actor to play that character. While I agree Prof. X doesn't have Wolverine potential in that respect. They always had a fantastic relation as characters and the actors crushed it, the Logan movie only solidified that! Thank you Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman, amazing work.
Reminded me of the cannon events from spiderverse. A lot of Deadpool and Wolverine reminded me of spiderverse. Down to fighting of army of variants including one dressed as a cowboy
And Sir Ian... this was very early in the genre and we got spoiled quick. A lot of amazing work in those early movies from this individuals that paved the way for for us to enjoy a lot of great movies, including this last masterpiece. Much respect!

Regarding your opening question - only Deadpool is engaging with the 4th wall breaks. People actually in the scenes with him don’t know what he’s talking about. We, essentially, exist in Deadpool’s head.
I feel like they do know, but they're too professional to acknowledge it. Like, Cavillrine KNOWS he's Cavillrine, but he stays in character anyway because what else is he gonna' do?
I laughed when I realized that green day song is actually called "Good Riddance".

There is no alternate universe where Mike is NOT a raging alcoholic.
His canon event is functional alcoholism
And he's still the anchor being of every universe.
Henry Cavill was a nod to fans. There was a fervor among a lot of fans when X-Men 97 came out and it was confirmed that there will be MCU X-men. As fans and streams threw Wolverine replacement wishes and predictions around, Cavill was a strong pick. He went kinda meta when he popped his claws as a nod to his Mission Impossible character.

Missed opportunity by the movie not to have Nicolas Cage cameo as Ghost Rider in at least one scene. Ironically, he would fit in the most in the Mad Max apocalypse style Void, specifically in the first Ghost Rider he looks very similar to Mel Gibson in Mad Max 1.
I thought they were going for that for a moment when the Odyssey's wheels burst into flames.
Nicholas Cage is expensive, I guess.
I was really hoping to see Tom Jane punisher.
And here I was thinking Cage would have made a good Dr. Doom. Ghost Rider was pre-MCU and largely forgotten as it was, unlike bringing back RDJ only a few years later.

The sequel trilogy doesn't have the same focus, you can feel as you watch them that they switched directors halfway through.

@@arthurthiele979 The sequels don't have a young fanbase that will grow up like the prequels did. The sequels are barely marketed and merchandised like the prequels were, which had like a million popular video games, comics, and toys. Disney is utterly incompetent. Whether you like the prequels or not George knew how to market and merchandise successfully. The Lego partnership with the Clone Wars and Empire stuff was particularly genius. George also capitalized on video games extremely successfully while Disney has botched that.
Disney makes like 2 half-assed battlefront games and sells some Rose Tico toys and calls it a day. The successful stuff they do isn't even sequel era like Jedi Survivor/Fallen Order or selling prequel and OT era lightsabers. They don't even do sequel-era comics as far as I know either. Although I kind of understand because I don't know how I would market the sequels either because how do you sell a worse version of the OT with zero interesting or even cool characters to adolescent males?
I think the damage control move would be a revived Jedi order in the Rey movie with some relatable male Anakin-esque Jedi padawan and edge lord Sith/ dark Jedi whatever dudes you can make toys of and throw in games that kids might actually buy.

I saw Mike Stoklasa at a grocery store in Milwaukee yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen New Glarus bottles without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bottle and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

When Deadpool breaks the 4th wall, everyone see's him talking to nothing. He canonically has schizophrenia and his healing factor means he cant take medication for it. So when you see turn to the camera imagine that he is staring off into space referring to no one. 17:51 the camera flips 180 to show no glass broken or boom mic.
You can have Deadpool in more serious Marvel films. They would just have to depict Deadpool as a schizophrenic, and only show the 4th wall breaks from a 3rd person view, making him look crazy. Then just have everyone treat him like he's crazy...
I'd love to see some Deadpool and spiderman
That's a great idea!
There's plenty of examples in the comics of this. Taking away the 4th wall breaking still leaves you with a lot! Reynolds really owns the character though, so I think it would be extremely challenging to have him in a movie where he's not allowed to do all that he does to make his movies work. They'd probably have to really tone down the MCU house quippiness so he could do his thing.
That’s brilliant actually
That’s a terrible idea because time travel exists in the Marvel universe. Deadpool breaks the fourth wall much like time travel does. The best use case for introducing Deadpool is if and ONLY IF you were using Deadpool to nerf time travel and establish stakes for the MCU again.

To be fair about Logan dying in Logan... Logan is set way into the future. There were self-driving big rigs, all of the X-Men were dead.

"So I'm in the theater watching Wild, Wild West and I'm like 'gawd this is a big pile of shit,' when all of a sudden...a big fucking spider appears on the screen!"
that guy was onto something, I really wanted to see Wild Wild west for the giant metal spiders when i was a kid
@@MegamaXX500 That's funny... my earliest memory is of, _"A movie with big 'spiders', people in webs, and a figth at the end between a giant spider and robot spider"_ and it took me a long time to realize it actually was '87 and my dad had rented a VCR and Aliens. -- Any wonder I turned into a film nerd? I was actually at that ...Evening w/ Kevin Smith recording, btw! _(the one at IU)_
@@llYossarian I love this
I thought Mike was betraying us old men by using a phone for his notes instead of his usual folded paper, but he screenshot another screen. Thank you, my son.
Deadpool's universe dying due to Logan's death is basically a giant meta-joke about how with Wolverine dead, no one really cares about Fox's X-Men/mutant universe anymore and it would slowly die out. It's also makes the cameos from the all the other non-MCU comic book movies in the Void that much funnier/cooler. Deadpool & Wolverine is like a giant love-letter to ALL those comic book movies (at least the Marvel based ones, sorry DC fans,) that have been keeping audiences entertained for decades before the MCU came along.
I was thinking "damn what if Halle Berry's Catwoman shows up" but then I remembered
Perfectly said!
I think as well whenever Deadpool claims to be “Marvel Jesus” he means within the movie but also the MCU as a whole with the recent movies doing so poorly. He and his movie are there to save the MCU.
It was actually a great movie. I really enjoyed seeing Wesley Snipes again after so long.
yeah this movie was basically acknowledging all the marvel movies that didnt make it into MCU, but they had to happen so that MCU could happen. Exactly same as they did with andrew garfields spiderman. It's respecting the actors work and dedication to portraying the characters before there was anything estbalished, rules etc. This movie is a giant salute to the good and bad comic book movies that came before.
Glad you said to stop before spoilers and go see it. It was great!
