The following post contains SPOILERS for Deadpool and Wolverine. I mean, of course you do. How can you have questions about parts of the movie that don’t make sense before you watch it? Come on.
Deadpool and Wolverine It’s fun. It has cameos galore. It has references on top of references on top of references. Forget about watching all the Marvel Cinematic Universe and fox X-Men movies; if you didn’t spend the entire 2000s obsessively reading movie rumor sites, you won’t get a third of the jokes.
But I don’t care how knowledgeable you are about Marvel Comics and its long, tortured cinematic history. No matter how much you know about multiverses and quantum realms and unmade Fox movies from the 2010s, there are parts of Deadpool and Wolverine that don’t make much sense; sequences or plot twists that don’t make much sense. Heck, if your name is Joe Quesada, you might get a little confused once or twice! As entertaining as it is, the movie has more holes than Deadpool’s torso after a fight with Wolverine.
Below, I’ve highlighted nine of the biggest problems with this madness. Wonder film. Whenever possible, I did my best to to try to explain solutions to these various plot holes and logical inconsistencies. And of course, you can always explain all of them with “It is Dead Poolis all meta nonsense anyway.” Which is probably what you should do. But I have trouble turning my brain off during movies; always have and always will. If you are like me, this list is for you.
