Penguinz0 slams Deadpool & Wolverine as ‘weakest’ of trilogy

YouTuber critiques the latest movie, highlighting that hype for Marvel films 'couldn't be lower'.

Charles White, known as penguinz0 or Cr1TiKaL on YouTube, has reviewed the new Marvel film "Deadpool & Wolverine," describing it as the "weakest" in the trilogy. 

White remarked, "Interest and hype in the Marvel movies couldn't be lower. Most people seem to have more hype around finding an extra chicken nugget in their Chick-fil-A order than they do for a new Marvel film." Despite this, he acknowledged his high expectations due to his fondness for the first two Deadpool films.

White appreciated the film's action sequences, stating, "I've always enjoyed the highly stylised action of the Deadpool films, but this one really goes hog wild with the action." He also praised the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, noting, "Their banter back and forth never got old, and their fights never got old."

However, White found the narrative lacking, criticising its attempt to juggle multiple storylines. "It feels like a bit of a mess," he said, attributing this to having "too many cooks in the kitchen." He also pointed out the film's reliance on multiverse themes, stating, "The multiverse itself is getting so tiresome."

Despite these criticisms, White acknowledged moments of enjoyment, saying, "It did have me laughing a couple of times, which is infinitely more than I can say for many other films that inject comedy into it." Overall, while he enjoyed the movie, he concluded that it didn't measure up to the previous two instalments, giving it a rating of 75% on his "moist meter."
