Once Upon a Deadpool is more of a companion piece rather than a replacement for Deadpool 2 as it doesn’t easily explain several of the plot points which are glossed over in this family-friendlier version.

Venom

Venom is a unique alien movie, consistent with the Marvel we all have come to love. We root for Venom and in return, we are rewarded with a rich relationship between Brock and Venom.
