‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Is a Messy But Glorious Farewell to the X-Men Movies

Let’s set a baseline reality for this review: The Deadpool movies are good. The combination of self-deprecating humor, well-choreographed action sequences, and a surprising amount of heart was a breath of fresh, chimichanga-scented air when the original movie debuted in 2016. It still worked in 2018 with Deadpool 2, and even today if you pop on one of those movies, you’re bound to have fun.

Deadpool & Wolverine (the third movie in the franchise and the first from Marvel Studios after its parent company Disney acquired 20th Century Fox) mostly checks those boxes. This is a Deadpool movie, and a great one at that, but while the threequel does everything you’d expect, it sometimes feels held back, both by the visual and narrative baggage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and by its director, Shawn Levy, who clearly groks the humor but never quite finds his way around a great fight scene. It’s far from perfect, but when the pieces come together, Deadpool & Wolverine is a damn good time.

Evidence of Alien Life May Lie on the Surface of Europa and Enceladus, New Study Reveals

It could be easier than we thought to find evidence of life on the icy surfaces of moons like Europa and Enceladus.

Far from the Sun, in the outer Solar System, a small handful of icy moons orbiting gas giants are hiding whole oceans beneath their frozen crusts. On Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus, some of that hidden seawater finds its way to the surface through geysers or cracks on the ice — and it could contain traces of whatever lives in the alien oceans beneath. The organic material that washes up onto the surface could contain molecules, or even whole cells, from a hidden alien ecosystem thriving below the ice.

According to recent experiments at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, evidence of alien life could be preserved on the surface of Enceladus, and just a few inches below the surface of Europa, despite the heavy bombardment of radiation that scours the surface of both moons.
