Disney/Fox Part 19: The big one!!!


Well, the biggest one since "No Way Home".
This is a bit late, but here we go.


"Deadpool 3" is going to cross into the MCU, AND have Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine!!
Ryan Reynolds announced it in two parts here and here.

That's the one we've been waiting for!
Xavier in "Multiverse" was nice, but we wanted Wolvie.
We're getting Wolvie.

It's two years away though.
So, counting those 2 years, Hugh/Wolvie in the larger MCU has been 24 years coming.
Holy fucking shit, huh?

Oh, and Avengers 6 is "Secret Wars" but I'll be 70 by the time that fucking thing comes out.
Deadpool is the one to get excited for right now.

I can't wait to marathon "No Way Home" "Multiverse" and "Deadpool 3" as a trilogy, and weep with joy. That's gonna be good times.

Thank you, Ryan Reynolds, and Kevin Feige!

Re: Coolio
"Gangsta's Paradise" has survived 1995 pretty well, but Coolio's death had me reflecting on 1995 as being the year that all the big up-from-underground people's music movements of the early 1990s (grunge, indie, gangsta rap) were officially stadium/MTV-co-opted, never to return.
1995 was the year where the biggest alt-rock was no longer Nirvana or Pearl Jam but the ultra-poppy No Doubt, the bombastic double-album teen stadium angst of Smashing Pumpkins, the slick calculated MTV bitchiness of Alanis Morrissette, and the now-forgotten Hootie and the Blowfish. Hell, even RADIOHEAD were slick in 1995 (not that I dislike them.) The biggest "heavy" music in 1995 was all industrial or quasi-industrial and even older bands like Danzig were trying to do industrial.
And of course, Coolio, who was THIRTY-TWO YEARS OLD at the time (he was older than all three members of Run-D.M.C.!!) took loads of crap from hip hop fans who thought he was weak "pop" compared to "real" gangsta rap....I wasn't even really paying attention to music when I was 13 and even *I* heard that stuff from people.

I wonder how Stevie Wonder reacted to finding out that he outlived the younger guy who sampled his song?

I'd also be stunned if much of anyone is still watching the movie the song came from, and that includes both younger generations who probably aren't watching it as well as people who were kids in 1995 and probably can't name the movie ("Dangerous Minds") anymore. My money is on the film rivalling "Natural Born Killers" as the most badly dated film of the 90s.

Has Weird Al ever been blasted for being offensive? Since you mentioned Coolio's disaste at being parodied, that predates everyone getting offended by parodies.
