I'm one of those Nerds who didn't need Wikipedia to tell me why "Liefields Shoes" was a funny gag. But even I'm tired of the constant barrage of references. To be perfectly honest, it's a bait and switch. I went in hoping for Deadpool 3 and instead I got an MCU film making meta jokes about MCU films are bad. It literally destroys it's own characters just to fit into the MCU mold. Sidelining them as an inconvenient holdovers of better films. I'm honestly shocked it didn't point this out to the audience as being bad writing, before gleefully continuing. Because if we acknowledged that it's bad, it's not bad, right? Right!? I didn't laugh at the self aware jokes, I just agreed. Yes. What you're doing as a multiverse movie is bad and boring. I miss when super hero movies didn't encourage you to basically have a PHD in the previous movies and series to "get it" When honestly, what's offered in each new episode of the MCU is so shallow the references aren't needed at all. You can "get it" without the investment, there's nothing of substance. References and Lore aren't substance. In this, like in every new MCU film there are no stakes. (Even more so when two immortal demigods stab each other until they fall asleep.) Quips not humour. (But this one has swears too. Oooh. Swearing Quips.) Music tricks you that something emotionally significant is happening. The baddie loses after 90 minutes. Advertise next film. Repeat. Forever. Even if your lead dies, find a new one in the multiverse. I wanted a Deadpool film. I got an MCU episode. If all you want is another episode of MCU to smugly endure and say "I get that reference" every few seconds, then endure. I hear Doctor Doom is being played by Iron Man now and we should all be very excited for him to lose before they advertise the next film. Maybe he'll even lose to Squirrel Girl. Hey. You get that reference. So it's good. Right? Me, I miss the last two Deadpool films. I'll happily rewatch them. This? Not so much. In fact I will probably forget everything about it except the montage at the end mourning a era of Super Hero movies that did not need to be MCU episodes. Also, it doesn't help that the film screws it's own internal consistency. Cassandra Nova could read Deadpool's mind. She should have become aware of the fourth wall. But she didn't. That could, should and HAS been a plot point to protect Deadpool from Telepaths. If this had still been a Deadpool movie, that's a joke that could have had legs. Cassandra staring into the audience in horror, screaming at the realisation she's not real. It could even have served as motivation for why she suddenly wants to destroy every other reality ever beyond her ego. But no. We need instead to see geriatric Tax Evader Wesley Snipes slow mo their way through a fight scene with Z list literally-who's. What a waste of my time.

Exactly the same broken game with a handful of extras that free mods do better. Also breaks almost all mods more complex than changing a texture or tweaking an item. That's right. The main reason anyone is even still playing Skyrim? This update breaks them. No mods for you. Oh, and all the new content, without exception, is either broken or poorly implemented into existing systems. New plants can't be planted in Hearthfire. Dedicated weapons designed to make unarmed better, don't even interact with the Single Unarmed Perk in the entire game. Absolute joke. Waste of time, energy and money. Anyone thinking Bethesda being owned by Microsoft would change anything, look no further. I know everyone has short memories, but remember 76. Remember Horse Armor. Remember Fallout 4 being a downgrade of Three. Remember broken quests still being broken a decade later. Remember an engine that is almost as old as Morrowind. Space Fallout will be the same. Skyrim 2, because let's face it that's all it will be, will be the same. Stop being swayed by nostalgia. Bethesda will just keep making bad games until you demand better.
