Spider-Man and Deadpool Just Trolled the MCU, the DCEU, and Fox - IN A SINGLE ISSUE!
Superhero movies are now mainstream - and Deadpool has always mocked the mainstream! With the Marvel Cinematic Universe still the biggest game in town, and the fledgling DC Extended Universe struggling to course-correct after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the time was ripe for the Merc With A Mouth to chip in. After all, hasn't this year also seen the phenomenally successful Deadpool film? So fans were waiting expectantly for Deadpool to make his voice heard, but we never expected him to team up with Spider-Man to do it!

What's the Best Movie or TV Parody of the year So Far?
Originally, parodies were solely meant to mock poor examples of entertainment, not good shows and movies. However, between Saturday Night Live, Funny or Die and original YouTube sketches, fans can now laugh at films and television series that carry a very serious tone. We're all watching some pretty somber entertainment, and we all love sharing funny clips with our friends, so parodies can gain massive notoriety in a very small span of time.

Aren't We All Just a Little Minion at Heart?
In 1937, Walt Disney pioneered a path for animation to join the ever-growing collection of feature films to showcase in cinemas across the world.
