Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time currently dominates Deadpool & Wolverine 100–0
Anno's franchise conclusion overwhelms the MCU buddy comedy.
The Verdict
This matchup has 11 votes — still early. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Anno spent twenty-six years resolving Evangelion — the Instrumentality sequence, the animation deconstructing itself, Shinji choosing to exist in an imperfect world — and that closure carries a weight no buddy-comedy sequel can approach. Levy's Deadpool & Wolverine has Reynolds and Jackman's chemistry and the MCU's meta-commentary. Both are franchise films. The gap says the franchise that closed with genuine emotional resolution outperforms the one that opened with entertaining self-reference. Closure outweighs chemistry when the closure took a quarter-century to earn.
