Saw it a few days/weeks ago (2024 Oct, so 2 months since this OP). Itâs an alright film.
Several I personally noticed though:
spoiler
-
For their first-time appearances as characters, since itâs the very first film they were presented, right from the get-go, youâd know who would be the final survivors or who would have the plot armor from the very start, Android Andy and Rain.
-
The actors themselves, I donât know, from theyâre first appearances there, you know theyâre not the same experienced actors of the previous films. It showed, it felt. Hence, the fear and fright a viewer should feel were not the same too. Seemingly, the trailer was a little more scary, honestly. I think such casting resulted to less âscaryâ than the previous films.
-
More reliance on the Android again, although not as much as the previous Prometheus and Covenant. The babying was made apparent too. Like unwittingly yet somehow seemingly thereâs much more, like the way she looked at him at times. And, a fully-functioning whole Android, and not even that supposed âfound from the trashâ poke was believable. She has such an Android when likely no commoners have one in their lifetime, surely such Android could be utilized for income or something, even plain water buffaloes are utilized for field work, transportation, heavy burden, etc. for centuries in rural even âfar from civilizationâ places. I mean something, somehow that Android could have been utilized, no matter the attempt of the film to portray it as not as very useful or frail, which was not really believable. Andy even had the out-of-the-blue robotic strength to hold open those heavy mechanical doors when no previous film androids were seemingly the same.
-
Final monster was not, um, not as overwhelming. No resemblance to the iconic Xenomorph aliens at all, hence reducing connection. Itâs somewhat like Edward Nortonâs Hulk who had no tiny semblance of his alter ego, hence the believability of the viewer to see him still as Nortonâs Banner but transformed to the Hulk was thoroughly reduced during his CGI Hulk scenes. Looking back, I think it was not the very suited decision to have it as the final design of the alien monster, since it somehow resulted to closer to a generic monster appearance.
-
Surprisingly, even though he was just the CGI/AI likeness of the late Ian Holm, Rook still, exhibited that he was the more experienced actor. Canât understand really. Rook was still scary. So kudos to them for capturing/recreating such.
-
So, not bad, just OK. But still, I canât rank it above the other last films no matter how divisive they were, they had their own charm and appeals.
so they had other plans for what you could do with that kind of material and how you could put it out there and get the audienceâs appetite warmed up for it
Hell yeah, I want that Tatum Gambit film or at least a duo or trio if not solo (eg. Gambit & the Externals). The MCU is multiverse after all, so any proper MCU X-Men would be untouched, still separate. They could even purposefully make that portal lead to one of the Wolverinesâ home worlds, like say that Age of Apocalypseâs one, or the brown vs Hulk one, etc. So even an R-rated universe, not necessarily Deadpoolâs own. They have endless options to choose from. Multiverse yet still contained.

Sounds like Rob Liefeld is not onionskinned and a chill guy. Heâs earning his royalties too.
The co-creator also freely admits he has a financial stake in Deadpool. Liefeld made deals when he first created the character that gives him royalties anytime the character is used anywhere: merchandise, video games, and yes, movies. âWhen Deadpool exploded onto Fortnite, was that really good for my kidsâ private education? Yes. Yes, it was,â he said. âI have Deadpool revenue streams that have existed since 1991âŚI already get paid. If you make this movie [or not], Iâm getting a fat check.â

Rob Liefeld Gets Real About His Controversial Deadpool 3 Comments
Top 3 are all Deadpool films, for both domestic and global. It would be a tall order to surpass DP&W.
OK, added âJean Greyâ. I searched a bit and there were 2 other adopters of the âMarvel Girlâ name: Valeria Richards and Rachel Summers, although I donât know who was second then third user. And so far I think Jean Grey was still as âMarvel Girlâ with this green uniform before her eventual âPhoenixâ to âDark Phoenixâ to plain âJean Greyâ names.
Looks like this deleted scene is at least after Deadpool headbutted paradox and escaped with his Tempad. So perhaps while Wade was shopping for the Logan variants, a live one.
And likely the most significantâŚ
MCU= Marvel Cinematic Universe
For me, one difference is⌠Suicide Squad (I think even The Suicide Squad 2), were mostly all-new even unknown characters from the get-go, even included some as outright fodder. While Thunderbolts members were already introduced and seen prior to live-action films and shows. Hence the latter has that advantage, the members already have their previous character journeys. Thereâs already connection and familiarity with the audience, and perhaps even already gained fandom and admiration before their eventual team up as the Thunderbolts*.
