Deadpool & Wolverine: A Cosmic Fate?
"Deadpool & Wolverine" delivers a heartwarming ending with the titular characters finally becoming friends. However, a new multiversal twist from Marvel Comics sheds a darker light on their relationship. In Weapon X-Traction "Part Seven," it's revealed that every variant of Deadpool and Wolverine, throughout the multiverse, are destined to become friends due to cosmic fate.
Deadpool & Wolverine: A Destined Friendship
The multiversal twist implied by the guardian of the Infinity Abyss is a game changer for the "Deadpool & Wolverine" movie. It suggests the bond that formed between the characters wasn’t entirely organic. The relationship was ultimately determined by the cosmic forces of the Marvel Multiverse. Their differences are no match for their similarities as they’re "functionally immortal" and share similar origins from the Canadian government.
The Deadpool & Wolverine Ending
The movie features a heroic sacrifice by Deadpool who attempts to overload the "Time Ripper." This is ultimately prevented by Deadpool and Wolverine working together. Without their cosmically destined friendship, the movie may have had a darker ending, potentially ending with Deadpool’s demise.
Deadpool & Wolverine in Marvel Canon
Earth-616 is the main universe of Marvel Comics, and in that continuity, Deadpool and Wolverine often find themselves at odds, their differences overcoming any attempts at friendship. In contrast, Deadpool & Wolverine, as depicted in the MCU, takes place in a separate timeline but also falls into the “cosmic fate" scenario that defines how variants of Deadpool and Wolverine will inevitably become friends. It remains to be seen whether future appearances of the characters in the MCU will follow this path.
Deadpool & Wolverine: Critics and Fans
Deadpool & Wolverine has been praised by both critics and fans for its hilarious moments and surprising depth of character. Despite this, the revelation from Weapon X-Traction has sparked mixed responses within the Marvel fanbase, some feeling it’s a bit creepy. While their bond feels earned in the movie, some are now reconsidering it due to this multiversal twist.
The Deadpool & Wolverine Movie
The "Deadpool & Wolverine" movie has been described as an "absurd blast" of a Marvel multiverse joyride, offering action, comedy, and the perfect pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. However, it seems there’s an element of Cosmic Fate that shapes their relationship, impacting the ending and potentially making the friendship feel a bit less earned.
