The iconic sling ring portal scene fromAvengers: Endgamehas been edited to includeDeadpool & Wolverine’s “Like a Prayer,” and it’s enough to bring a tear to the eye of anyMCUfan.Deadpool & Wolverine’sfinal scenesdelivered an emotional gut-punch as it depicted the titular antiheroes joining hands to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the entire multiverse to the tune of a choir singing “Like a Prayer.” While their sacrifice would be undone moments later by their joint efforts and healing factors, it was a tear-jerking moment that rivals some ofthe MCU’s most emotional scenes.
X user@_dpiddyhas decided to blend this sequence with the MCU’s Battle of Earth, switching out the original score for the choir cover of “Like a Prayer.“The post depicts the scene in which the Avengers are joined via a series of sling ring portals by almostevery surviving MCU hero to battle Thanosand his army. The edit certainly adds a different kind of emotional heft to a moment that’s both tear-jerking and celebratory in equal measure, though it is safe to say that theAvengers: Endgamescore and Madonna’sDeadpool & Wolverineinput are better kept separate.
12 Most Rewatchable Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Scenes
Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s best movies of late, primarily due to the rewatchable nature of many of its scenes.
Why “Like A Prayer” Works Better For Deadpool & Wolverine Than Avengers: Endgame
The Movies Strike Very Different Tones
The choral version of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” has become a popular feature ofDeadpool & Wolverineto overlay on to other emotional MCU scenes. It isn’t too hard to see why, as it is specifically intended to engender intense emotions in a climactic moment - which is no doubt helped by the fact that the song is one of Madonna’s most esteemed. It is, however, a pop song at its core, which is precisely why it works as part ofDeadpool & Wolverine’s pop-laden soundtrack, and not in a tonally distinct movie likeAvengers: Endgame.
TheAvengers: Endgamescore was composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri, who also worked on every other Avengers movie.
While the MCU is famous for injecting levity throughout the vast majority of its productions - even those that carry the most emotional weight - the irreverence of Deadpool’s franchise is in a league of its own.Deadpool & Wolverineeven features “Like a Prayer” as its flagship song, with the appearance of the choral version in its final sequence being a reprise of the standard version used moments earlier in Deadpool and Wolverine’s brawl with the Deadpool Corps. The reprise is therefore dramatic but still tongue-in-cheek.
WhileAvengers: Endgameaffords brief moments of levity to the MCU’s funniest heroes, it is still a much more serious movie thanDeadpool & Wolverine. This is why it isn’t hard to see Deadpool fitting into a wider MCU narrative down the line in upcoming MCU movies likeAvengers: Secret Wars, though it is unlikely that he will bring the catchy soundtracks of his own movies with him. For now, the choir cover of “Like a Prayer” is best confined to the incredible final scene ofDeadpool & Wolverine.
