Deadpool yells, Hands off that kid, John Connor!
But whats the joke, exactly?
John Connor wasnt the time-traveling killer.
Its not worth the time it takes to process.
Hes like an especially obnoxious fanboy except you could punch a fanboy and hed shut up.
Deadpool takes a licking and keeps on shticking.
Weve reached superhero saturation point, andDeadpool 2is less a satire of that condition than a symptom of it.
It has zero suspense its too hip, too meta, for suspense.
InDeadpool 2, the percentages are reversed.
And I can never get enough digs however limp at the idea that all superhero mothers are named Martha.
But there are so many wincers for so ramshackle a plot.
(Whats there is decent enough to make you see what might have been.)
Deadpool makes a crack elsewhere about cultural appropriation, but hes silent on the dopey Dopinder stereotype.
In any case, he should enjoy his cigarettes while he can.
