Deadpool, the character whose gimmick is breaking the 4th wall, makes a reference to another african kingdom that doesn't exist in the black panther or marvel universe but nonetheless is familiar to every reader of the comic strip.

Yeah man I totally did not understand that pridr rock isn't real you got me good that is absolutely what was being discussed

Not "is it racist to bomb into the throne romr of a black king and yell lion king lyrics at him because that is in fact a thing that exists in the marvel universe, because many popular movies and such exist in the marvel universe"

Is The Lion King not existing in the marvel universe canon?

I honestly don't know, but I don't see why it would. Hell Disney owns marvel now right? So maybe that is an additional reason why Deadpool wouldis allowed to reference it now.

No, it's a well established thing that most (not all because reasons) pop culture poo poo from here exists there, partly because then you can do pop culture references and partly because the marvel universes whole deal is that it's our world but with superheroes

I guarantee you someone referenced lion king before 2014 or whenever the buyot was because it's not illegal to reference something you don't own you loving idiot

My take was that Deadpool's thing is being obnoxious because he can't die and enjoys fights, and so he's racist and disrespectful to the status of his host while cracking a terrible "joke."

its legitimately impressive how over the last fifteen years superhero comics have gone from a ghetto genre that more serious comics writers have done everything they can to distance themselves from to an art form so prestigious that when non comics writers are offered a job from the big two they post extended soliloquoys of gratitude on twitter for being allowed to participate in the great american zeitgeist

Deadpool has always worked best as a literal Ugly American :canada: so while he shouldn’t be an out an out bigot attempts to make him Woke™ severely limits the character. Microaggressions only though.

Real missed opportunity on Rowling’s or Warner Bros. part or she doesn’t want to cede creative control, remember Rowling comes up with the awful plot points of the new prequel movies.

They do take their poo poo seriously, though.

you have to have a very high IQ to understand Spiderman But With A Gun. the humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of bizarre culture war hangups most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head
