Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
Deadpool makes repeated gay jokes about Wolverine throughout the movie. A lesbian couple appears. Non-binary actor Emma Corrin plays the main villain Cassandra Nova. Deadpool calls the villain part of the woke mob in one joke. The story has no identity politics, no activist lectures, no girl power messaging, and no cultural critique.
