On Deadpool 2

What do we want from a sequel? Should it be a development of character from where we last left them, a new direction, a different film with the same people? Or is it bigger, louder, longer? The latter exhausting the platitude, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Deadpool 2, certainly and unashamedly embraces the latter. This is a very similar film to the first, and structurally follows many the blockbuster formula. What it essentially gives us is more of what audiences enjoyed the first time round, but sadly with slightly less edge. That its protagonist is in on the joke, with the constant breaking of the forth wall, makes it slightly more interesting, but no less repetitive. It makes money and almost guarantees a third time round, where it will be even bigger, even louder and even longer, but with a 12a rating. To make sure it is even more profitable.
