#MovieThread VII: The Kino Awakens, Chapter Five — May Edition

From 2020 to 2025 I watched 2370 movies.
In 2026 so far I've watched another 127, for a total of 2497 movies.

This month:
* Finishing the X-rewatch.
* Probably Costner.

I slammed through the films of Martin Brest slightly too fast, so it'll be a little bit before I start the next Blank Check miniseries, but in the meantime, let's just finish the X-rewatch, sitting down in front of the TV to watch —

#128, or #2498, 2018’s “Deadpool 2.”

Correctly retriangulates "Deadpool" into something much more watchable. The commentary on comics, itself, and the cinematic landscape that surrounds it is a real step up from Can You Believe He’s Allowed to Reference His Butthole & Gay Joke, his best friends from the first one.

Does have a fridging problem — yes, he fixes it, but a single post-credits scene is too outside of the main narrative to change the core issue — and I think it’s a shame to boil Cable down so far that he’s basically JUST a cunty Terminator, but all of this basically works for me. It’s funny, the action is consistently enjoyable, it’s all the same ingredients, really, but mixed... correctly.

X-Force funny. Love Domino in this.

(Why are all these well-behaved mutant orphans not just at the Xavier School, which appears to be down the road, to begin with?)

@Alexis Xavier is busy dealing with the Phoenix Force or whatever

@The_T It being the McAvoy one means I have NO idea what Xavier is up to.
