Deadpool & Wolverine

While the premise of Deadpool & Wolverine is clear enough, add Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to the MCU, the plot of the film (which features five different writers) feels a bit stitched together haphazardly from various other TV and movie properties without bringing much new to the table. If what you are looking for is a fun summer movie with an excess of blood, sarcasm, in-jokes, and cameos, with yet another odd-couple pairing like we got in the more satisfying Deadpool 2, then Deadpool & Wolverine delivers. Without doubt, it’s fun. However, like previous Deadpool films, Deadpool and Wolverine is more outlier than core franchise tale offering little to build on for the future.

Hit-Monkey - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Bryce (Jason Sudeikis), Haruka (Ally Maki), and Hit-Monkey look for who set them up leading to a pair of bloody and violent confrontations taking place in the New York Public Library and an an exclusive Gentlemen’s Club. In both situations, Haruka’s new blade overwhelms her creating a new situation for Bryce and the monkey to deal with, but “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” is most notable for the carnage the three create not once but twice which leaves no one alive left to answer their questions. The episode also introduces the character of Dot, a young assassin who chooses to help our protagonists against the Aldermen for reasons of her own. If there’s a negative to this point in the season, it’s that the humans (each with their own story) are beginning to overshadow our title character.

Invincible - This Must Come as a Shock

“This Must Come as a Shock” picks up with Mark (Steven Yeun) recovering from the battle against the Viltrumites and helping the Thraxans before returning to home with his half-brother. We get some awkward reunions with his mother, Amber (Zazie Beetz), and others which will be expanded on in the next episode as events are put in hold to deal with an invading ship from Mars full of Sequids. Mark joins Eve (Gillian Jacobs) for a fight in space while the leftover Guardians Rex (Jason Mantzoukas), Kate (Malese Jow), and Rae (Grey Griffin) deal with the Lizard League breaking into a nuclear facility on Earth.

Hit-Monkey - Return to Sender

Having returned from Hell (agreeing to help his simian sidekick stay on a murderous path), Bryce (Jason Sudeikis) leads the despondent Hit-Monkey to New York City where he starts making a name for himself. Setting up various characters in the new locale, we get Hit-Monkey being hired by Bryce’s old agent (and taking up residence in Bryce’s apartment). Haruka (Ally Maki) also makes the trek to the West bringing along Bonzai Master‘s sword whose power allows her to survive an attack by a creature who was either a giant tiger or a possessed alley cat (or possibly both). The sword, connecting her to its previous owners, is of obvious interest to someone lurking in the shadows. We also see Bryce’s daughter who it seems, like the sword, will play a role over the course of the season.

Axel F

Fueled on nostalgia and various Eddie Murphy bits, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F does feel like a Beverly Hills Cop movie… just slower, older, and at times in desperate need of a nap. Breaking out the hits including a big opening action sequence in Detroit set to music from the first two films (making use of “The Heat is On” and “Shakedown,”) we then get Axel quickly back to Beverly Hills to protect his estranged daughter Jane (Taylour Paige) and to look for his missing friend Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) who both have gotten caught up in a case involving dirty cops.
