Warning: Spoilers for Deadpool #8!Deadpool is well-known for breaking the fourth wall and calling out other pieces of media that don't seem to exist in the Marvel world. This time, however, in a narration describing a past moment, a Deadpool character references the beloved Oscar-winning movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. Not only does this line up exactly with Deadpool's other media references, but it acknowledges Marvel's most famous multiversal cousin - and rival.

Deadpool is officially dead in Marvel continuity, and in Deadpool #8 by Cody Ziglar, Alexis Quasarano, Rogê Antônio, Guru-eFX, and Joe Sabino, some further background is given on an important Deadpool relationship. Tracking down her father's killer, Ellie Camacho, the newest Deadpool, comes face to face with the mutant Valentine Vuong, who has a romantic history with Wade Wilson.

Speaking through a montage of their past, she outlines how much they loved each other, knowing it wouldn't end well. The funny part comes from how she echoes the famous "laundry and taxes" line from the movie Everything Everywhere All Aa Once - with her own Deadpool spin on it, of course: "In another life, I would have really liked just shooting henchmen and mercenaries with him..."
