Indeed it does. The term was coined by Jon Hein, who created the website jumptheshark.com.

The term comes from an episode of happy days

Well shit, apparently this movie is actually part of the MCU timeline. I hope that doesn’t mean they’ve toned it down.

Back in the day there was a website called jumptheshark.com that discussed the “jumped the shark” turning point episodes of various TV shows. It was an interesting and hilarious read at the time. Been defunct a while now though. Very useful term to describe entertainment series that lost their mojo.

First thought seeing this? Iron Maiden 🤟

That’s a cool page, but you should try this one instead: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/…/JumpingTheShark

Deadpool & Wolverine is listed under “Marvel Movies,” whereas Deadpool 1 & 2 are listed under “Other Movies.” This is the best source I can find that D&W is part of the MCU.

My favorite part of movies is when characters can just exist as themselves.

So more unnecessary talk scenes for me please!

Love it! The iron maiden scene still gives me the creeps.
