Although many fans consider Deadpool & Wolverine’s opening credits to be the most viral moment of the movie, others have pointed out that it bears a striking resemblance to an infamous She-Hulk scene.
The action-packed Deadpool & Wolverine is full of memorable cameos, but its opening scene has been the most talked about moment. Despite finally teaming up with Wolverine, Deadpool’s first encounter with him in the opening credits does not go as planned.
Despite being alone and under attack in North Dakota, Deadpool finds himself facing off against TVA agents. In order to defeat them, he cleverly utilizes the decaying remains of Logan’s adamantium skeleton, engaging in a huge battle with a dance routine choreographed to N*SYNC’s ‘Bye Bye Bye’.
Despite being a highly entertaining and comedic scene, the constant interruptions of Deadpool’s dance routine during the intense battle is reminiscent of a controversial moment in the MCU. As observed by a fan on social media, the opening of Deadpool 3 bears a striking resemblance to the infamous moment of She-Hulk twerking alongside Megan Thee Stallion.
It’s the same thing. Just made for different audience. Both are funny. But only one gets hate. pic.twitter.com/6lkjOlG7Az

“According to user watchwithneebz, who shared their thoughts on X, the Deadpool and She-Hulk scenes are essentially the same but intended for different audiences. They both have humorous elements, yet only one receives criticism.”
The scene in question occurs after the credits of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 4. Following her success in winning a case and signing Megan Thee Stallion as a client, She-Hulk can be seen dancing and twerking in celebration.
Despite being just a throwaway gag in a show known for its numerous throwaway gags, this particular moment has sparked a great deal of controversy over time. However, watchwithneebz makes the argument that both scenes ultimately contribute to the same narrative.
It’s also true that the Deadpool opening is both hilarious and fitting for the character, but it ultimately serves as a brief joke with no significant impact on the overall plot. The scene quickly tarnishes Logan’s memory before moving on to the main story, providing no further significance.
Similarly, the She-Hulk twerk has received a lot of backlash for the same reasons as the show. While She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may not have been the most well-received Marvel series, much of the negative feedback was based on sexist comments.
Despite the fact that the show featured a confident female protagonist who frequently broke the fourth wall, some fans were quick to dismiss it as a copycat of Deadpool created solely to push a certain message. However, this argument is unfounded when you take into account that She-Hulk had been breaking the fourth wall in comics long before Deadpool even made his debut.
Despite some fans constantly criticizing the show and praising Deadpool, the reality is that both of these particular instances hold the same significance. This serves as evidence of the significance of taking into account the audience when analyzing media.
The film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine is currently playing in theaters.
