Marvel missed the mark with Christian audiences in its newest film, “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
As the Christian Post noted, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has gained traction on social media about its decision to use vulgarity when describing Christianity.
In a YouTube video by “The Simple Life of MJ,” a moviegoer described her experience of going to see the film.

The YouTuber, MJ, discusses how she expected there to be crude jokes in the film. However, she did not expect to see such vulgarity targeted at Jesus.
“I cried during the film and after the film. I was just absolutely broken in my spirit,” she says. “Ryan Reynolds calls himself the Messiah. He calls himself Marvel Jesus all throughout the film. There is a scene where Hugh Jackman is crucified on a cross obviously mocking Jesus’ sacrifice.”
MJ further says that the film includes a floor covered in blood and skulls.
Another moviegoer shared on TikTok why she left the movie early.
“It is disgusting. It is so against the Lord. They are blaspheming our Creator, and you should not see it,” the woman said.
Another TikTok user, TizzyEnt, referenced the X cross as being similar to an old cover of a Marvel comic book. However, that doesn’t mean that this addition to the film had not already upset fans.
These reactions to “Deadpool & Wolverine” are reminders that we are to be careful about the kind of content we consume. God saved us to renew our minds, and be a light to the not to have us stuck in the bondage of the world.
As more and more entertainment continues to focus on mocking Christ, we must use careful wisdom and discernment about what we should and should not watch and listen to.
