Only for him, it is obviously much more so.

Hence Reynolds below post.

This isnt just Deadpool saying Oh, Hello to the MCU.

2000s superhero movies like Spider-Man, X-Men, and The Dark Knight

We are forever grateful to the fun, weird, uneven and risky world of 20th Century Fox.

It was our origin story and we wouldnt trade it for anything.

And thank you to Kevin Feige and Disney for allowing us to share it.

There is obviously a lot of truth to this.

There were probably more bad superhero movies than good in the first decade of the 21st century.

There was, though, also a dizzying amount of variety.

Letting auteurs have free hands with these characters did not always end well for fans or the film.

And then there were the X-Men.

One year after the MCU began,the worst film in the X-canonwas released,X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

sent a viscerally uncomfortable chill down the spine.

Its not preachy; its not virtue signaling; it feels depressingly, urgently, real.

Its a movie that infamously would have probably never been made had its test footage not been leaked online.

Those unwieldy days also gave us a lot of junk likeGhost RiderandBlade: Trinity.

So Reynolds is right.

There is no shame in coming from that helter-skelter earlier era.

In fact, there are some elements of those days to even miss.
