End Credits #352 - July 31, 2024 (Deadpool & Wolverine)

This week on End Credits, we're appreciating that all it takes to make $200 million in one weekend is a foul mouth and lots of gore. Or maybe it's gratuitous cameos from comic book movies you've all but forgot about. If you haven't guessed already, we're reviewing Deadpool & Wolverine, and sticking with the X-Men, we're ranking that whole series. This Wednesday, July 31, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepagee will discuss: Lists of Future Past. The X-Men movie franchise played a big role in supporting the idea of serious and ambitious comic book movies can be a box office winner, but it seems like the the movement's gotten away from Marvel's Merry Mutants. Before Deadpool & Wolverine there were 13 movies under the X-Men banner, so to say goodbye (hello?) to the movie X-Men, we will rank all those movies from worst to best. REVIEW: Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). It's a team-up that people have been looking forward to for years, and it comes at a precarious time for the once mighty Marvel Studios. It started as a joke, but after a massive opening weekend it does really feel like Deadpool is now "Marvel Jesus," as in he brought the franchise back from the dead, and with no small [maximum] effort from Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. Despite being the perpetual underdog, it looks like Deadpool has won again, but is the movie any good? Let's find out! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
