Ok, so Deadpool is Fox, Korg is the Mouse and Free Guy is a 20th Century / Berlanti production. I mean, the rights clearances alone? Or are those all basically the Mouse these days - I haven't kept up with the acquisitions.

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so you're not wrong!

Yes. (even before the merger, Fox was actually 20th Century Fox. Not sure if you realized that "Fox" and "20th Century" are the same thing)

The movie looks like Truman Show 2020. Which, could be OK.

0% chance that either Waititi or Reynolds were on set for this, but hilarious voiceovers all the same.

I dunno. I kinda imagine that Reynolds has been wearing the Deadpool costume pretty much 24/7 since the first movie unless he has to put on something else for another role.

I’m pretty sure Ryan Reynolds has his own personal Deadpool costume and Taika has a pocket CGI team for Korg. It’s not a big stretch to imagine them just chilling in Hugh Jackman’s living room and just throwing this together because it’s Tuesday and it seemed funny at the time.
There might have been some gin involved.

I feel like Reynolds missed a trick when he led with "don't forget to smash that subscribe button and follow me on Patreon" instead of "...and check out my OnlyFans".
Deadpool seems like an OnlyFans kind of guy.

He does seem like an OnlyFans kind of guy. Doesn't have a lot of subscribers, but the ones he has are fanatically loyal.

Ryan Reynolds OnlyFans: he just does ordinary stuff, occasionally smirking at the camera.
And yet, hope remains for a dong shot or something.

If there was ever a way to criminally underuse Taika Waititi, this was it.
(Was that even Taika Waititi? Because Korg sounded "off".)

I'll bet that Taika recorded his part at home, with sub-optimal equipment. That's how it sounded to me.

Deadpool 3 is going to take place in the MCU. I want Deadpool to ask if Galactus is a fart in this new universe.

Re: the DC and Marvel multiverses (implied by DC to be Multiverses 1 and 2, respectively): if Disney and Time-Warner ever merge, there needs to be a one-shot involving the one character who doesn't want it to happen: the one joint DC-Marvel non-Amalgam character, Axel Asher aka Access.
His entire goal is to prevent the two multiverses from crossing over. As their combining into a single multiverse approaches, he tried to stop it, only to be told by the highest powers of both multiverses that the ultimate cause is far beyond his reach. He doesn't care, and opens the door to the Truth.
Beyond the door is a blank white room containing an ordinary grey rabbit and an ordinary - if black-furred - mouse. It is the truth of the matter, and he can and will never comprehend it - but we can, easily.
He is ejected, from everything, and finds himself caught in the collision of the multiverses.
The final page is, in the digital version - a heavily corrupted image - and in every print copy, it has been torn out by hand. Violently.
