Once Upon a Deadpool is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Once Upon a Deadpool from the crowd. A kidnapped Fred Savage is forced to endure Deadpool's PG-13 rendition of Deadpool 2, as a Princess Bride-esque story that's full of magic, wonder, and zero Fs. Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. What keeps Once Upon a Deadpool from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Once Upon a Deadpool. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Ryan Reynolds anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
