What's Better Than a Cameo in "Deadpool & Wolverine"?
"Deadpool & Wolverine" has taken a big leap! They managed to use cameos in a way that made everyone forget all about those awkward multiverse cameos from the "The Flash". And it totally made Nicolas Cage's Superman Cameo in that film look so much worse, and made fans wonder why they wasted time on that movie.
What are some examples of the best Cameos?
If you are familiar with Marvel Cameos or DC Cameos, then you will want to know how "Deadpool & Wolverine" did a super good job, but "The Flash" just fell flat! The best parts of "Deadpool & Wolverine" are actually bringing back some characters who never really had their own movie - so we are all pumped!
- Elektra, played by Jennifer Garner, had those crazy powers from the original X-Men movies but her own movie was a big mess!
- It's not like those cameo roles were just in there to give you a big shock or a laugh, either. The cast fit the whole story really well. They added something that made everything a lot cooler! It’s amazing that Wesley Snipes actually returned to his role as Blade! Who else would have played Blade!
- They made a ton of cool Deadpool & Wolverine References - it's all part of this big story.
- It is great, but if you think it was easy to create, you are so wrong! Making a cameo good requires thoughtful execution - it's not just throwing characters in just for the fun of it! The filmmakers took the time to bring back Channing Tatum and that Gambit movie. It never came out!
How Does The Flash Measure Up?
Let's just say The Flash's cameos felt pretty much thrown together and didn't even have the intention to improve the story, at least in the view of some fans. But maybe there’s hope with Deadpool & Wolverine Cameos - there's hope they made a big statement - just imagine all those Multiverse Cameos that they could use!
Why "Deadpool & Wolverine" Did It Right?
- Fans really like what Marvel did. All the cameos in the movie helped to re-imagine the stories of the characters from other movies and those stories never quite came to be! It's really a perfect example of how to honor those older stories.
- It seems that Chris Evans returned - everyone’s favorite Human Torch - from those great Fox X-Men movies. They added a little more comic relief with those super quirky characters!
- They even honored Henry Cavill's troubled history with DC by adding that meta Cameo Role.
- They did what's considered one of the best moves with those X-Men villains - those Fox X-Men movies. There were hints that the story actually had them working behind-the-scenes! And that’s a way to give a whole lot more context, since it's not easy for those who love X-Men, those who’ve seen the Fox X-Men universe.
You might get mixed feelings on Cameos in Superhero Movies but, hey - some movies actually make the cameos totally amazing! If you're curious about this new, more mature Deadpool Movie with that cool, messed-up hero who has his own rules - give Deadpool & Wolverine a chance. It's full of fun and heart!
