My Dear Fellows & Dear Princess,

Last night we watched "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and Cazza got confused.

Because it IS confusing because it doesn't fit with the timeline of the other movies unless you ignore some things and pretend that it's not REALLY Deadpool in it although it so IS Deadpool because that is Ryan Reynolds and also Professor X can walk even though he's not James McEvoy.

CAZZA: And so why is he called "Logan"?
ME: Because that's his name
CAZZA: But they keep calling him "Jimmy"?
ME: Yes, Jimmy Logan.
CAZZA: But his brother's name is "Victor Creed"?
ME: Yes, that doesn't make sense.

I then went on to explain that it doesn't matter that it doesn't make sense, because Marvel have just bought back the rights to the X-Men and so they'll probably be re-doing all the X-Men films and introducing them to the Avengers at some point. 

CAZZA: So these AREN'T proper Marvel movies?
ME: No, Marvel sold the rights to the X-Men and Spider-Man and so other film companies made those. But although they were initially successful the last X-Men film was a flop and Hugh Jackman doesn't want to do it any more so Marvel will probably revisit the X-Men when they introduce it to their films. Just like they did when Sony failed with their last Spider-Man film, so Marvel did a deal with Sony to put him in their films.
CAZZA: I see.
ME: Yes (warming to my theme) but of course now that Sony have made a successful Spider-Man film with "Venom" they might want Spider-Man back so no-one knows if Tom Holland will rejoin Sony and be Spider-Man opposite Venom. Or maybe he'll stay with Marvel after the Spider-Man movie they've got coming out this year.
CAZZA: I'm not really interested.
ME: What?
CAZZA: I just asked a question and then you started talking and talking and you wouldn't stop. But I don't really care.
ME: Oh. All right.
CAZZA: I don't want to see Captain Marvel.

My poor wife.
