SHE-HULK & DEADPOOL: Meta Powers Explained! (Who Are They Talking To?)

Long before Deadpool had a reputation for addressing the audience / reader by breaking the fourth wall, She-Hulk was seen as Marvel's meta superhero. In the MCU, however, breaking the fourth wall requires a major paradigm shift for viewers, as every previous instance has revealed a surprise audience within the universe to the reality-breaker's quips: Bruce Banner to Tony Stark in Iron Man 3, Agatha Harkness to Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision. Erik Voss explains the rules for reality-breaking in the MCU thus far, and how She-Hulk could team up with Deadpool in the MCU's future. Could She-Hulk and Deadpool be talking to Kang, The Watcher or Lady Death?

Other characters in Deadpool do hear him break the 4th wall. In the first movie Colossus responded to something Wade told the audience. To which Wade replied "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to them."

[InukMatt]

In the comics, Deadpool likes to converse with himself (like his mouth is separate from his mind) as well as with the audience and everyone can hear him in the comics when he does. This is part of the reason he’s considered insane.

[brobs]

I like the idea that that kid who looks into the camera in Endgame is one of the few omnipotent beings in the mcu with the power to look past the forth wall

[plasticstraw]

i believe that in the comics the reason that bruce is the only one who has an alter ego is because of his childhood trauma that lead to a form of DID and his bombardment of gamma caused it to bleed into his hulk transformations

[jasonyoung]

Maybe them breaking the fourth wall will weaken it so much Deadpool will see the “cracks” and be able to slide in

[maxalmonte]

I wish Kang took a minute to explain how he manipulated Disney to buy Fox so mutants can fight his variants.

[keplerthe]

The MCU will come to an end with the very last scene zooming away slowly, until things get weird in the movie and now we can see the set and green screen. Then, Deadpool sitting in the directors chair which teases the final film;

Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe

[johnoconnor]

I think this is a good idea but I think Jen's fourth wall breaking doesnt need an explanation and that it is just for fun. It would be interesting if it did have something to with the watcher or something.

[sutcliffe]

Wasn't it confirmed that Deadpool is totally insane and that he just thinks he's talking to someone but coincidentally he is always right about what's happening and there always happen to be readers when he does it

[House-crmu]

Yes I believe SheHulk and Deadpool aren't talking to the audience but they can see the Watcher and that's who they're talking to

[MrTrinityLee]

The Watcher. Those in the Marvel universe who break the fourth wall and narrate like this are talking to the Watcher.

[mitchcasey]

Thank you Voss for coming back... not that I don't appreciate the rest of the cast, but...

Welcome back

[jaylenduell]

In Deadpool one colossus literally addressed Deadpool about talking to the 4th wall

[VividX]

Either they're introducing more stuff like the multiverse or it's just for fun.

[Phoenix-uyjl]

I had this thought earlier about, “what if *we* are cannon in the MCU and all those times in the MCU that breaks the fourth wall, they were *actually talking to us*”

[Linator]

I’m really interested in the Thunderbolts roster. There’s a lot of possibilities. Just pick 6 - 7 out of:

- Deadpool
- USAgent
- Yelena Belova
- Baron Zemo
- Abomination
- Titania
- Ghost
- Hercules
- The Punisher
- Taskmaster
- Bullseye
- Iron Patriot/Justin Hammer
- White Vision
- Winter Soldier

[J.O.R.D]

I still love how Bruce's headturn is in sync with Jen's 😅👏🏾

[brucelau]

i feel like they're either talking to the studio or Kevin Feige honestly

[galacticgila]

I’d love if the 4th wall characters can talk back and forth- also I ADORE fourth wall breaks that other characters notice

[jaykayverse]

I kinda wish that you'd have talked about the Watcher's 4th wall breaking in what if
