“The Ballad of the Witches’ Road” is an evocative ensemble earworm heard throughout Marvel Studios’ latest streaming hit, Agatha All Along.

NOC Review: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ — The ‘Wolverine’ Review

July 23, 2024July 24, 2024 Michael Lee

Nearly 15 years after Ryan Reynolds debuted as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the Merc with the Mouth finds himself at a new point in his franchise and a low point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite the few missteps Marvel Studios has had in the past trying to convince us that the currently disappointing Multiverse Saga is the next superhero epic, something like a Deadpool & Wolverine could be the hilariously merciful and bloody wake-up call that could reinvigorate fans’ enthusiasm for these films. And the highly anticipated sequel gets some help from Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking. Why do we need two separate reviews for this summer’s most anticipated movie, Deadpool & Wolverine? Well smarty-pants, I’ll tell you why!

Just ask every “mature video content” creator in the heart of Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley.
