Marvel's Nostalgia Problem | Video Essay

🎬 With the recent announcement that Hugh Jackman Wolverine will be in Deadpool 3, I think I've about hit my tipping point when it comes to Marvel's Nostalgia Problem. Let's talk about Deadpool 3, Wolverine, and Marvel's Nostalgia Problem. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://youtube.com/filmspeak?sub_con... Remember 2017's Logan? You know, James Mangold's sublime masterpiece of comic book cinema and PROBABLY still one of the best cinematic send-offs of a long-standing actor from an iconic role, well…ever? It was perfect. Hugh Jackman couldn't have asked for a better way to bow out after nearly 20 years of playing Wolverine. But in classic MCU Phase Four fashion Hugh Jackman's gonna be back as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. And not just any regular Deadpool 3, the first MCU Deadpool movie. I think this is a SUPREMELY bad thing, but I also think that it’s a symptom of a much larger problem rather than THE problem in and of itself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s VERY egregious. Deadpool is a comedic satire of the superhero movie. Logan was a heartfelt conclusion. It’s like if they brought Daniel Craig back for Bond 26, after the character’s moving sacrifice in No Time to Die, only for the film, he returns to be…I dunno, Moonraker? Die Another Day? Tonally that’s what this feels like. What could they possibly do to justify resurrecting Jackman’s Wolverine? It’s entirely banking on the idea that audiences want to see Jackman and Reynolds together, which that’s fine, clearly, the two are friends and have some sort of report together even if it comes off manufactured for social purposes, but why in this setting? Why defile Logan’s grave for the sake of money. It simply speaks to the MCU problem in the fallout of Avengers Endgame. They're unable to let the past die and are even less interested in telling original, character-driven stories that serve to be more than another Disney product. It's not just about upholding artistic integrity, it's about a complete perversion of art and entertainment to the point that people only care to watch the new MCU movies for the sake of cameos, nostalgia, empty fan service, and hype. The MCU doesn't care, so why should I? In this MCU video essay, Griffin (@griffschiller) discuss Marvel's Phase Four Problem, the Deadpool problem, why Wolverine in Deadpool 3 is a bad idea, why I hate hugh jackman wolverine in deadpool 3, why nostalgia is ruining Marvel, and why I'm done with the mcu. Hopefully you understand where I'm coming from and try to enjoy this video on Marvel's Nostalgia Problem. #deadpool3 #wolverine #videoessay #marvel #mcu #mcuphase4 #hughjackman #hughjackmanwolverine #deadpool3wolverine #ryanreynolds ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎞 Chapters 🎞 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎞 About Deadpool 3 🎞 No Deadpool 3 synopsis.
