Deadpool 2 (2018)

My least favourite Marvel superhero continues his incessant juvenile prattle in a sequel that pits Deadpool like a T-800 against a time traveller from the future hunting a New Zealand kid who will one-day be a super-powered archvillain, and despite ultraviolence that is troubling (especially when it features kids cheering on the decapitations, dismemberments and mass murder (all condoned, it seems, with logic of the sort 'all white-coated males who work with children are paedophiles and all paedophiles deserve to be crushed under a taxi and all average joes who crush paedophiles under a taxi are superheroes')), I was surprised at how greatly entertained I was by this, laughed alot, and thought this number two with its ripping female superhero sidekick, Domino, a great improvement on the original.

Deadpool (2016)

An especially juvenile entry into Marvel's superhero canon is 2016's Deadpool about a superhero whose superpowers seem to be slow body rejuvenation, an ability to run through machine gun fire, and an inexhaustible stream-of-consciousness prattle about erections, masturbation, blowjobs and other topics Marvel counts on being popular with its target demographic - not me.
