Story Line.


A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life with his days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. But when his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctant Wolverine


Thoughts:


I was so excited to see this. These movies are fun to watch, the 4th wall breaks are what makes it different than many of the others.


I felt this one was lacking something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was.


I'm also so tired of the TVA and the multiverse. It kicked off with Loki and continued with “Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness” Which should have been called “The Scarlet Witch with Doctor Strange” but whatever, I know nothing.


This does have a twist because Deadpool did use Cable's machine to time jump back to save Vanessa and change things a little, so it doesn't make sense that the TVA would get involved, except this time he had to save his own timeline.


Peggy the Dog was perfectly cast as Dogpool. UK's Ugliest dog fits with everything about Deadpool in a way that no other dogs would have worked.


The cameo's, the jokes and the music were all spot on and a perfect fit for each and every part of the movie.


Although I felt it was missing something and I'm over the multiverse, this movie was fun, campy and maximally deadpool for Disney.


CAUTION; Maximum Spoiler Alert


In 2018, after Wade Wilson uses Cable's time-traveling device to travel across several timelines, he arrives to Earth-616, the "Sacred Timeline", where he meets Happy Hogan and requests to join the Avengers. However, he is rejected and returns to his timeline, Earth-10005.

Six years later, Wade has retired from being the masked mercenary known as Deadpool and is working as a used-car salesman after breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. During his birthday party, the Time Variance Authority (TVA) captures Wade and brings him to Mr. Paradox, who offers him a place on Earth-616. However, Paradox also reveals that Wade's timeline is deteriorating as a result of the death of its stabilizing "anchor being", James "Logan" Howlett.[d] Paradox details his plans to use the "Time Ripper", a device he developed to mercy kill timelines, to prematurely destroy Wade's timeline. Wade steals Paradox's TemPad to travel the multiverse to find a variant of Logan to save his timeline.

After encountering various Logan variants, Wade takes one back to the TVA, where he learns that this particular Logan is considered the worst Wolverine in the multiverse. After an argument, during which Wade learns that Paradox is acting without the knowledge of his superiors, Paradox prunes Wade and Logan into the Void. There, Wade and Logan fight before they and Johnny Storm are captured and taken to Cassandra Nova, the twin sister of X-Men leader Charles Xavier. Cassandra, who was pruned as an infant but made a deal with the TVA to stay willingly in the Void, kills Johnny and leaves Wade and Logan to be consumed by Alioth, although they manage to escape.

Logan and Wade meet a variant of Wade called "Nicepool", who gives them a car and points them to the Void's borderlands, where the resistance against Cassandra is located. However, Logan chastises Wade for hiding the fact that he is unable to fix Logan's timeline, leading to a fight that leaves them both unconscious. Laura drives them to the borderlands, where they meet resistance members Elektra Natchios, Blade, and Gambit. Wade proposes an alliance with resistance, dubbed the "Others" by Wade, to fight Cassandra. Logan refuses to cooperate, but eventually relents after a conversation with Laura about his inability to save the X-Men in his universe. Wade, Logan, and the Others go to confront Cassandra, and manage to block her powers by placing Juggernaut's helmet on her head. However, Cassandra is betrayed and injured by her henchman Pyro on behalf of Paradox. Logan convinces Wade to remove the helmet, allowing Cassandra to heal and open a portal back to Wade's timeline.

Arriving on Earth-10005, Wade and Logan find that Paradox has begun to use the Time Ripper. Cassandra–learning Paradox's plan from Pyro before executing him–arrives through another portal and kidnaps Paradox. She plans to take control of the Time Ripper to destroy all timelines, leaving only the Void, as revenge for Paradox's betrayal. Cassandra summons an army of Deadpool variants that battle Wade and Logan, but Wade's friend Peter Wisdom arrives and convinces them all to retreat. Paradox tells Wade and Logan that one can disrupt the power flow of the Time Ripper. Using their bodies as conductors, Wade and Logan destroy the Time Ripper, killing Cassandra. Paradox is then arrested by Hunter B-15 from the TVA.

B-15 reveals that Wade and Logan's actions have stopped Wade's timeline from deteriorating. Wade requests B-15 free the Others from the Void, before asking if it is possible to rewrite the history of Logan's timeline. B-15 replies that it was his history that made Logan the hero needed to stop Cassandra and there is nothing to fix. Logan, who wishes to retire and live a peaceful life, is taken by Wade to meet his friends, along with Laura. On Logan's encouragement, Wade reconciles with Vanessa.
