Its easy to be drawn in by the opening credits ofDeadpool & Wolverine.
Director Shawn Levy and company crafted acacophony of carnageunrivaled in Marvel movies.
And it deserves some love too.

Deadpool & Wolverineopens with Wade using the adamantium skeleton of Logan to kill a bunch of TVA members.
Basically, if you grew up in that time, you knew the song.
And setting a violent action scene to it is just inherently fun.
In the days since the films release, social media has been ablaze with people rediscovering Bye Bye Bye.
NSyncs members themselves were at the premiere and their official YouTubeupdated the songs descriptionto include Deadpool & Wolverine.
SEO comes for us all, even boy bands.
And yet, for our money, the Bye Bye Bye scene pales in comparison to what happens later.
After an emotional rant by Wolverine, Deadpool attacks him inside their borrowed Honda Odyssey.
They hit the radio and on pops Youre the One That I Want from the musical film,Grease.
There are a few things at play here.Greasewas released over 20 years before Bye Bye Bye.
Plus the song, about polar opposites who fall in love, is thematically in line with the movies.
The song also hits differently with its very 1978 vibes.
You get less breezy boy band, and more genuine WTF.
(Bye Bye Bye peaked at #4.)
Blood and bodies are flying everywhere.
Its quite similar to the opening and yet, wheres theGreaselove?
Why hasnt the official upload of that added Deadpool & Wolverine to its description?
