The initial responses to Deadpool and Wolverine are sure to have Marvel enthusiasts exclaiming, “Let’s f**king go!”However, there is one critique that they should take into consideration.
The upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie has been highly anticipated in the MCU. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Ryan Reynold’s beloved character, the Merc with a Mouth, as well as the iconic superhero portrayed by Hugh Jackman.
However, the upcoming year is not without its challenges. The franchise faced many obstacles in 2023 (let’s not forget Secret Invasion), with Marvel enduring multiple setbacks with little respite (except for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and Loki Season 2).
To put it differently, the success of Deadpool & Wolverine is crucial – and based on the initial responses, it seems to have achieved that… yet, there remains one issue.
Deadpool and Wolverine: Fans React to Disappointing Visuals
Despite its ability to make viewers feel a range of emotions, including cheering, laughing, and crying, Deadpool & Wolverine has faced criticism from both critics and fans for its visual aspects, such as the use of CGI and its overall color scheme, which some may find lacking in vibrancy.
According to Robert Daniels of RogerEbert, the film received harsh criticism for being one of the worst made movies of the year. He also mentioned that the color grading in the trailers was slightly brighter, but still not up to par.

This mirrors individuals’ grievances about the trailers, as numerous people have accused the movie of featuring desaturated and uninteresting cinematography.
Harrison Martin cautioned that the film’s visual effects were subpar, while Sean Boelman criticized the excessive use of fanservice, stating that the humor falls flat and the action sequences are hindered by CGI blood.
At some point during #DeadpoolAndWolverine, I whispered, “How in the fucking name of Marvel Jesus does this movie exist?” No matter what you are expecting, it’s beyond that. @VancityReynolds is a lunatic. I am in awe of this gonzo movie. The MCU Event Movie is back. pic.twitter.com/nqjLjR1a2J

#DeadpoolAndWolverine Lived up WAY beyond the HYPE!! It seamless jumps from a nostalgia cameo fueld ride to a genuine sweet & emotional tribute to the Fox era Marvel movies. It’s insane how much was hidden. Funniest MCU movie to date. Shawn Levy’s action also kicks ass! pic.twitter.com/NSpNAedKdD

Despite this, don’t be discouraged (as if that would even be possible). According to Comic Book’s Brandon Davis, it’s a “Marvel fan’s dream come true… filled with unexpected twists and turns, intense action, and non-stop comedy.”
Lyra Hale described the new movie as a “love letter”to its source material and an “absolute blast.”She also cautioned fans to “go in blind”and not spoil themselves, as the trailer provided minimal information.
