Deadpool 2 began screening for press today, and everyone who’s seen it wants to talk about one thing: The post-credits scene.

Beyond that, it sounds like the movie is still funny and relentless, just as you’d expect (also, violent and gleefully offensive). But in classic Deadpool fashion, it feels oddly appropriate that the most notable thing about the movie is the tag scene at the end.
Here are just a few reactions from people who’ve seen Deadpool 2.
So, #DEADPOOL2 is the perfect sequel. Doubles down on everything that fans love about the original, and fixes some of that film’s issues. Huge, huge laughs that play the audience like a fiddle. @VancityReynolds destroys as Wade. Great action, fantastic comic nods. A killer ride! pic.twitter.com/KaM8gUT2Jf

Liked DEADPOOL 2 way more than the first. Smarter, funnier, and with 100% more Ricky Baker.

I didn’t like the first Deadpool. DEADPOOL 2 beat me into submission until I was actually enjoying myself. Also it features my now favorite post credit scene.

I liked DEADPOOL 2 more than the first one (which I wasn’t a huge fan of). Slow to start but all the stuff with X-Force and Cable (and Peter!) works surprisingly well.

DEADPOOL 2: A 113-minute Honest Trailer that steals its best scene from MACGRUBER. Josh Brolin’s third-best summer movie. Criminal misuse of Julian Dennison. Your ten-year-old son’s new favourite movie. It will make $1-billion.

The credits scene in #Deadpool2 is the best one ever done to date in any superhero movie. I am dead serious about this. #DoNotLeaveWhenTheCreditsStart pic.twitter.com/yQmbhSYrAs

#Deadpool2 is no doubt the most violent major release since Kill Bill Volume 1. It’s also funnier than the first and has me genuinely excited for a sequel. Oh and it features a ton of Canada jokes, so of course I loved it.

I’ve seen #Deadpool2. It’s phenomenal. I can’t say much else but Brolin’s Cable is outstanding. @robertliefeld’s legacy is on proud display on the big screen. pic.twitter.com/W13RZJxoXs
