A Response to HiTop's "The Multiverse Killed Deadpool & Wolverine" | EFAP Highlight 

Depressed superheroes are the only thing that gives HiTop joy in life

It's funny because I disagree pretty strongly with Mauler on D&W, but then Hitop shows up, and everyone puts aside their differences to clown on him.

Hitop is the cursed spawn of a video essayist and a slam poet.

What if instead of Claptrap his name was Clapcheeks and he clapped his ass?

I really wish that, "the over annunciation, I'm a wounded artist, emotional young man," style of narration would just disappear. *This Hitop guy is worse than Super Eyepatch Wolf.*

Cynical: Anyone seen any good porn lately? Mauler in agony: Noooooooo

There was a point at 1:33:00 about Ryan and his “care” towards Deadpool the character. We have to keep in mind he agreed to be Wade in Origins despite his own personal feelings towards that movie. It’s not definitive to say Ryan wanted the movie we got 100% or conceited to have it made. But it’s something to keep in mind since he talks about Deadpool so much and has so many interviews expressing his admiration for the character and getting him right. It doesn’t make the movie any better but it can explain why he was willing to make the movie we got. Remember he was just happy to wear the suit for the first one so he’s probably willing to do whatever

me to new efap fans seeing a 3-hour hitop highlight: "oh, you're in for a show tonight, son!"

Hitop has one of the most cringeworthy rhetorical styles I've ever heard. He always sounds like he's on the verge of tears. He should honestly try to alter his speaking style if he's losing views because his opinions aside it's really unappealing.

"You can get crappier versions of a handful of comic book characters"? What? I agree that Fox had much more to offer, but lets not pretend that getting back the rights to almost half of Marvel's universe wasn't the biggest goal of that acquisition. This was still in a time when the MCU was the golden goose, so they had the biggest potential for a return in the investment.

Efap Highlight clocking in at just shorter than the old Efaps Love it

God, the absolutely repugnant music choice, the generic hip-hop beat with the endless tititititit of the hi-hat, it infests everything. I hate it, it sucks, make it stop. Brain hurt. Make stop.

I actually really liked HiTop's Raimi and Spiderman PS4 reviews, but after seeing his NWH review and especially this one, it's apparent to me he must have the nostalgia goggles drilled into his skull like in the Outlast Trials.

Ya I’m with shad I liked it but the writing was absolutely terrible.

RIP Rags's pizza 🙏

1:13:36 “this is getting more and more French as it goes” is an expression I now seek to use daily

The movie was just a shallow safe corporate key jangle with terrible writing and characters... and somehow HiTop's video is worst.

His name should be OverTheTop instead.

You could change the name to Every Frame a Grenade but im not sure what the acronym would do to your monetization

you know its funny, I watched a HiTops review years ago about how THOR is not the only the best Thor movie, but he argues its one of the best mcu movies. Back then he didnt talk anywhere close to how hes been talking for what...the last 2-3 years? Watching this efap, I got a bit nostalgic and went back to that video. That video...is actually good. He brings up good arguments/viewpoints while talking NORMALLY. I dont know what got into his head to change up his "style", editing wise...sure, but this "emotional talking" is nauseating af.

I think this video perfectly encapsulates difference between Longman and Meandering Man.

"Shieeet" 1hp voice

Why does he ALWAYS sound like he's about to cry and can't hold it in anymore.

Why does Nutsa always sound like she’s scared or crying?

Man, Fringy's change in pitch right at the beginning of the video was just impressive. Like you can hear it slowly lowering in pitch as the sentence progresses. Here's me just cracking between the two stages and having to clear my throat and this guy's just mastered the art completely

This man is absolutely insufferable to listen to, good lord

For god's sake someone get HiTop a health potion. He's been at 1hp the whole video.

I thoroughly enjoyed DP&W, but it is deeply flawed, and it's noticeable from the opening credits not being jokes... Cable and Domino missing is a flaw, and it could have been mitigated with a bit of dialog and story: After DP comes back from his MCU rejection (because obviously Happy doesnt know what mutants are, who the X-men are, or anything from the Fox universe so he just assumes this deformed person is deranged as well...) he is dejected and depressed. Cable, Domino, and X-Force are tired of him dragging his feat, same with Vanessa, and finally leave him to wallow. At the party, Shatterstar is there just to be a dick ("I'm you, but better") while Cable and X-Force are doing hero shit. They could have had that deeply sad, suicidal DP from the beginning of DP2, feeling like whatever he does he gets nowhere, gains nothing, he cant keep Vanessa happy doing Merc work (she disagrees) and he just cant fit in with a team. Even going back in time and fixing everything, he ends up in the same place... real Wade Willson shit. That's the opening. Now, that doesn't fux everything, but that's a start and explains why X-Force is absent.

Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin makes me wish we got a Dafoe Joker back in the day.

Does it mean wolverine spends his life scared his death would destroy the universe now?

I’ll pay someone to cut HiTops internet connection

8:11 Best part of the coverage already: "Hating on a Marvel movie for clicks?" "We believe this is genuine, go ahead..." "You're right, I'm gonna milk this cow--" "... oh."

If he dropped the insufferable voice I would watch him much more

cancer cells dont have the diminished telomere when it duplicates itself so if he is living cancer, he should be immortal agewise too

Remember guys, we still haven't gotten Dead Pool 3, so there is still a tiny glimmer of hope.

HiTipples

This movie I believe doesn’t connect to the first two Deadpool films, it really only uses the characters it wants to, in my opinion. I remember somewhere that potentially Ryan, Shawn Levy or maybe Kevin Feige said this movie wasn’t ’Deadpool 3’ and I agree with that. This movie is basically the ‘bridge’ film to get us to Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. There might be ‘some’ aspects of Cap BNW and Thunderbolts which tie in, but this movie is really the bridge to the next Avengers films, a la Civil War. A what seems like semi-reliable Marvel leaker, had a post recently about what Kang Dynasty would have been and it mentioned anchor beings holding off worlds that Kang wants to destroy (I think), which makes more sense after seeing this movie. Also, it mentioned they would be using the two older Spidermen as their old world’s anchor beings and then Tom Holland’s as the 616’s anchor. I can see that but with Tony Stark now being the replacement for the 616’s anchor being (for good or bad for this new Avengers story). Also, by the way, here Ryan talks about how he basically made this Wolverine and Deadpool in the writing of it as an homage to Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Deadpool playing the ‘John Candy’ role and Wolverine playing the ‘Steve Martin’ role. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SeJdTeeVQBQ.htmlfeature=shared I look at DaW as Marvel wanting this to do the same things that Civil War did for phase 3, it’ll be up to time to tell us if they are done better or worse. I would love for Marvel to make standalone films, I just don’t think they’ve got the cajones to do one.

I fell asleep after an hour. Did Hi-Top ever got to the point?

three hours is a highlight lol

2:46:05 Sheeet

it's not really related to this context or marvel overall and it's pretty much beyond their writers anyway but i can't say i'm completely against the *idea* of an "anchor being". However, i guess the idea i like isn't some grand thing where the universe or whatever ends but a personal one where you just want to save that one person.

The heck was with Rags asking about Opera? Just stopped the chat dead? I thought he was going to make a point that the music was distracting and that it added nothing to the video or something.

Nutsa's Naked Nightmare totally saves this whole section 😅

26:26 The main problem with multiverses is the reason they're done: They're usually done because the hack writing has destroyed the original universe too badly so now you need to desperately try to either cut yourself off from it or to compensate for it. Same can be true for time travel. It's not the best example, but there is a manga that has the idea of a multiverse where you have two timelines where the original world was destroyed or doomed to destruction and so the world created a new timeline to fix the root cause and save itself. That makes a lot more sense than whatever Disney is doing. I think Doctor Who has a decent way of doing time travel. He's not trying to break reality by destroying and saving universes, he's just going around the timeline because he can to see what's happening. Other than that, you have shows that have limited forms of time travel. Continuum where you have one time machine which sends one group of people back in time and the protagonist is trying to stop the others from affecting the timeline. There was also another show I forgot the name of, where you can send the consciousness of another person back in time and future people are basically infiltrating society in an attempt to fix the mistakes that would happen in between those two points in time.

Who else but HiTop could have the correct opinion for all of the wrong reasons? It's like he was tasked with solving a complex math equation, and he decided to smear his shit on the wall. Through the small chunks of corn, hair, and blood, he discovered the correct answer.

If Deadpool is anything like the cells from Henrietta Lacks, he'll live forever.

How much fake emotion can you put in one video.

its funny about the ad, everyones ssn basically got taken... not just those from AT&T... if you have an ssn, its been "leaked"... just need to keep eyes on your credit and shiz.

Thank you for including the palette cleanser at the end

Shad, I'm sorry but I disagree: multiverse nonsense is ALWAYS terrible. The instant the mechanic is introduced into a story, all stakes are over. If there is an infinite multiverse then there are infinite versions of a character, which means if the character we are focusing on fails or dies or whatever, there is another version of the character that did not fail or die or whatever. That means that for some reason we are focusing on a sucky version of this character and we have been wasting our time, because this version sucks and there is a better version of the character out there that succeeded or didn't die or whatever that we could be watching. In the context of a multiverse story with infinite multiverse variants of a character, you cannot make an argument for the characters we are watching as mattering, as there are literally infinite versions that are better than this one. If we're talking different dimensions like how CS Lewis portrays different worlds like in The Magician's Nephew, that is a different thing entirely as there are still just singular versions of each character, not infinite versions.

1:09:30 A day in the life of Nutsa.

1:03:52 Incredibly pretentious!

58:18 This is how my aunt describes every actor

Man if you guys are almost getting brain aneurysms from Hitop's videos, I would like to see you all reacting to Max0r's videos

idk if you've seen any of the "seals are good" star wars content but... 20:48 sounds exactly like the voice used for Anakin and that is hilarious.

this is lil bit too much of circlejerking for the sake of circlejerking.

Hi Wolf!

I have definitely enjoyed a few of Hitops videos in the past but yea at a certain point you start to notice his “style” and it just goes downhill from there. The simplest way I can describe it is just pretentious as fuck.

Wolf, can we get that reaction to the HiTop parody in it's won video?

58:08 That's exactly what came to my mind.

why is Anna always so sleep during these?

Christ, Bethesda games are so fucking broken! I completely forgot how to get rid of the item, so found this video to get a reminder... and now I can't get rid of the quest. It's stuck in my miscellaneous quest list. Because of course it is. Anyway, thanks for the help, bro. 🙏

Hitop is the only thing that brings me joy

Oh. I thought it was a new Rag'''s'/Dogbytes video, going by the thumbnail.

S-s-shieeeet😩😩😩😩

……TIPPLES!,!,!,!

Mauler have you watched Matchstick Men yet? I promise you it's a great film.

despite how great Night at the Museum 1 is, the sequel is dramatically better.

Its kind of ironic how much we enjoyed the film despite the serious writing problem's. But i guess its what happens when you're starved for content for so long

HiTop is the worst thing to happen with Spider-Man cuz he's the fucking reason why people are being toxic with Spider-Man.

All the beeping in the video they are reviewing is really annoying.

The whole section of them going "fucking true " is funny

Hey Wolf, I know this is unrelated (Even though it technically involves characters from different universes...) but could you answer a question? In episode 286 of EFAP Mauler mentioned that there was a website that held a poll similar to the subject matter of the video, that apparently Ezio from Assassin's Creed won. Do you by any chance know what website he was referring to?

Yo they got Shad, this one's gonna be good

18:58 fringy is good sometimes but yeah X men are a huge part of why they acquired Fox. Idk why he acts like its two characters or they aren't popular, highest selling comic of all time and when done right the X Men are better than avengers and definitely have better villains.

Interesting… 🤔

Gisselle Port

Yeah, they should have gotten Christopher Nolan or Wes Anderson for DvsW.

1:05:16 😂

28:33 its a JOKE but fine

Just take the L , the movie was Great

White Deborah Thompson Nancy Martinez Thomas

Lewis Kimberly Brown Larry Miller Brian

I think If I were to write deadpool I’d just scrap the 4th wall stuff entirely

41:20, 2:59:00

What kind of pizza place charges you before the pizza is delivered?

Miller David Gonzalez William Rodriguez Brian

0:22 Interesting take after hearing an excerpt from Shad’s “book”.

Ok um Wonder Woman's thing is love, that line is actually totally something she's say in her comics so...I cringe at you lot cringing at it. (Granted, it'd probably be inner monologue, but still)

Can the Natsu chick sound more boring or disinterested

Garcia Barbara Johnson Linda Brown Amy

I haven’t seen it yet. I watched the first teaser trailer and have been actively avoiding ANYTHING to do with it. And failing some what. I know there are 26 cameos ( Dog pool, lady pool and dude pool) multiple comic covers brought to life and X-24. I get EFAP is about critiqueing the technical aspects of the film no matter how they feel about it on a personal level, but DAMN it feels like they were a little more harsh than usual. Kinda like how Mauler didn’t quite put together how Fallout tv series was trying to add in aspects of the video game which is way the characters ended up in the positions they did like the game would put you in etc. from what I gathered so far it’s a comic movie trying to apply the multiverse story kinda like how dead pool killed the marvel verse. But opposite.

This video made me feel sorry for him, and badly about you guys. I haven't ever heard this guy's videos before (nor am I likely to look for them), but you guys were nitpicking and calling out things that you had no right to call out. Very disappointing, EFAP...

I can't be subscribed anymore, because shad is still there. His argument for ai is complete trash, and that makes his value as a critic null and void. And I stand by this. Goodbye

I like Hitop. He's got some things that I don't like but he's memorable and entertaining.

1:07:07 - How the @#$& would you know what he was saying? You guys wouldn't let him say five f%&$ing words without pausing and nitpicking him! An hour and eight minutes in, and his video has only played for 8 minutes (minus 2 minutes for an ad you could have _easily_ skipped)!

Who is the poor, frightened and like an about like 17 year old like community college girl talking woman with the baby Yoda picture? Is she always so frightened and submissive?
