Whats that, milkshake?)

2024sDeadpool & Wolverineisnt even theworstexample, because its lineup of feeling old?

Which is to say that this is a trend that should be easy to haw-haw about.

Alas, the results of Scene 83: Enter the Gurgler vary.

The cameo in question is expected to be Maximum Studios prime asset, Many Man.

Maybe in any movie.

He soon imposes himself as the biggest, swingiest dick on set.

Certainly not Adam, whose own ever-present feelings of inadequacy are amplified with the arrival of Kyle.

Youre fuckin sweaty, and you stink out every single room that you walk into.

But youre a real A-lister.

Hes about one swordfish-stolen-from-craft-services away from his breaking point, and … would you look at that?

The crew of the tentpole next door have stolen the swordfish, too.

Hey, man, theres only so much studio interference a guy can take.

(Heres your weekly Daniel Bruhl is great in this, isnt he?)

(Stupid joke, IMO.)

Not that it matters much, anyway.

In retaliation for Erics kamikaze attack onCenturios 2, the Gurgler cameo has been pulled fromTecto.

More and more, it feels cut away from the central franchise.

The Sword of Damocles that killed offThe Sisters Squadis swinging ever closer.

Not even the Mollusk guy can catch a break.

But is pointing that out in itself really that funny?

Not really, but it does feel lazy.
