It made solid box office numbers, both fans and critics seem to love it, and it's the most refreshing addition to the MCU in a while, after a few ads. However, the movie still ruined one of the most emotional endings in a superhero movie, released by Logan in 2017.

Deadpool & Wolverine Breaking his promise Logan FANS

How do we do this without tarnishing Logan's memory? And I'll tell you how. We are not.

of Logan Heritage Deserves More Than Global Reclamation

Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine depends on the new movie not having an impact Logan in every way. Marvel's commitment has come through their narrative tools to transform many different branches.

As a collective audience, it's easy to agree with why they're back, but it's hard to agree with individual sensibilities. of Logan it's a sad ending. At first it all seemed fine, until then Deadpool & Wolverine did a good job of creating a meaningful arc for the obsessed “loser” Logan.

Although Doom will not be obsessed with Iron Man, the audience will not be able to connect the actor with Tony Stark as soon as they see his face. the Logan The effect may be repeated here, and the water may recede Avengers: Endgame's an almost perfect ending. Imagine re-watching an RDJ who sacrificed his life to save the universe, knowing full well that there is another RDJ who will try to bring down the multiverse in the same movie series. Maybe Deadpool & Wolverine is a reminder for multiverse movies to play it safe with characters or returning characters.
