Deadpool 2 Mocked Captain America’s Endgame Ending Before It Happened
Deadpool 2 parodied a lot of conventional superhero tropes — but it also managed to mock the Captain America Avengers: Endgame ending before it even happened in the MCU. While something of an outlier to the MCU — as it's still not clear to what degree Deadpool should be considered MCU canon — the Merc With A Mouth's arrival to the big screen was a massively well-received one.

One scene that proved this duality came with Deadpool's (temporary) farewell to his fiancée, Vanessa.

Deadpool seems to accept being dead for good in order to have his happy ending of reuniting with Vanessa, but she convinces Wade that he can't leave his friends lost without him just to be with her. Though he manages to bring her back via time travel shenanigans in the Deadpool 2 ending, it's clear neither expects this to be the case when they part ways.
