Deadpool & Wolverine

Continuity mistake: When Deadpool is talking to Wolverine's skeleton, in one shot the skeleton's mouth is closed, but in the next shot it is open.

Phaneron

Continuity mistake: During his introduction to the TVA, Wade is engaged in conversation with Mr. Paradox. There's an employee at a drawing table near them. When Wade salutes Cap, the woman changes position as the camera angle reverses.

Continuity mistake: When Deadpool and Wolverine are eating a burrito, Deadpool throws his on the ground a few feet to the right. In the aerial angle the burrito is gone. Then the dog runs towards Deadpool and the burrito is now in front of him. When the dog arrives, the burrito is now closer to Deadpool's foot.

Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Mr. Paradox and Wade in front of the MCU screens featuring Captain America, a few times Matthew Macfadyen's motions do not quite match when the camera angle switches. For instance, he leans in twice when Wade salutes Cap, and twice away he bobs when he says he "can be a hero amongst heroes."

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the locker room of the car dealership, look at Wade's hands when he emphatically says "F**K No" to his own question. He moves his hands away from Peter's shoulders and then back on him. Reaction shot to Peter laughing, Wade moves his hands again, and you can notice the hand position in the reverse angle does not match this last change.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Wade, a car salesman, is in the back seat of the Kia Carnival with a family of potential buyers. He answers a question about a different vehicle with crude language, to which one of the kids chuckles and puts his left hand in front of his mouth. New shot and he switched hands.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Deadpool pulls out of Logan's carcass the piece of wood that impaled him. It's an overhead camera angle, with both arms of the adamantium skeleton pointing down. He sniffs and throws away the branch. In the next shot, the skeletal hand is now visible at the bottom of the frame, pointing up and close to his face.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Wade in his apartment meeting his friends from the previous movies, pay attention to the little chat he is having with Dopinder the cab driver. Ryan Reynolds is holding his green paper cup at different heights between shots.

Sammo

Plot hole: In the opening scene, Wade applies to be an Avenger, and does it in the Sacred Timeline, the main MCU timeline, on Earth-616. Not his own, which the movie classifies in the next scene as Earth-10005. Assuming he can just do that (at the end of his second movie he certainly did stranger things than that with Cable's device), one fails to see the purpose of it. Let's assume he aced the interview and got hired; it's not his timeline. He does it to have a good relationship with his girlfriend. Who...is in a different universe. Whatever Wade does in the vastly different universe is not altering anything in his own. It was never going to work.

Suggested correction: He goes back to his universe. Think Thor...or the Guardians or Captain Marvel or whomever isn't Earth based. They "Assemble" then go back to protecting their little corner of the Marvel Universe.

Suggested correction: But it's Deadpool. When does anything he ever does make sense? He wanted to be an Avenger, he went out to be one, no matter what that meant in the literal sense. As long as he can say it, it's enough for him. Even if it is in a different universe/timeline, he can still say he's an Avenger. He is also a rule breaker, so maybe he can figure out how to make it work.

I knew this was going to be the objection to it; it's Deadpool, he can do whatever, etc. There are multiple times during the movie when he mentions things that he is not supposed to know because they are meant to be fourth-wall-breaking jokes. He references real-life actors, he interacted with them in previous movies. So they are absurdities with a purpose, and it's pointless to argue with comedy. But him being rejected by the Avengers is part of his motivations and of the 'serious' part of the plot, which is focused on his own universe and his girlfriend. Earth-616's Avengers though? The namedropping for nerds is an absurd choice when you think about it, which the movie does not want you to do, since it makes zero jokes about it. Without that caption it was not even going to raise any objection or paradox; he could have met with the Avengers of his universe, any universe - later in the movie Wolverine says "F*** the Avengers" as if he knows them.

Sammo

Two things: 1. Even if he is able to join the Avengers on Earth-616, being part of a team might give him a sense of belonging and change his whole attitude. It wasn't to impress Vanessa about being an Avenger, it was to change his attitude which had soured after the events of the second movie. 2. It cleverly explains that the Marvel characters from the Fox universe were in their own universe and, to this point, have likely not been a part of the MCU.

Maybe his universe doesn't have Avengers and he found out about them through the MCU. That's what I'm saying. It's just a gimmick in the movie and actually doesn't affect the plot that much as he was given a task by the TVA (or whatever lone wolf from the TVA) and teams up with Wolverine. Him trying to be an Avenger and talking about it is just a running gag.

More trivia for Deadpool & Wolverine

Question: This is a question for all Deadpool films. Why does Deadpool bother wearing a face mask considering most of the people in the films (villains and good guys) already know his real identity and even refer to him as Wade? Is it just a pride thing or something?

Gavin Jackson

Answer: In addition to knowing he's a character in a movie, Deadpool likes to fancy himself as a superhero, and the mask is part of his branding.
