DEADPOOL 2

Damn it! I overlooked the Stan Lee mural again. At least I did notice Brad Pitt when his character, Vanisher, gets electrocuted. I caught some details I either missed or forgot to mention here before. When Peter - the middle-aged chubby guy - applies for the job with a picture of Chris Pine, maybe with a slightly elongated face but it was shown very briefly, Deadpool asks: "Are you a catfish?" Another time he comments that X-Men symbolised racism of the 60s - I personally never thought about it that way but to Americans that's probably obvious. Wade's sexism to Domino continues when she enquires: "Are all X-Force members dead?" and he puts her down: "All the main ones." There's a Harry Potter reference when he muses: "Is there like a sorting hat?" in the prison. George Michael and David Bowie's deaths get a mention. The mid-credit starts with a girl repairing a device with a Wonder Woman-like remark: "How is it possible for such a small thing to turn back time?" Bond-style "Pool. Deadpool." appears in the final credits.
