    Gives Star Wars a Worse Name Than It Already Has

    As this sad conflict draws near its conclusion, there isn't much really happening here that hasn't been seen before; Deadpool kills president who is a little too in-tune with this time period, insert quip or breaking of the fourth wall every other line, rinse and repeat.

    Also, what's with every title of the series being a parody of a movie title? It feels so forced, like the series is trying too hard to be funny.

    Again, this is what you'll expect; plan accordingly.
