Yeah there is, it’s in the growth patterns where you can tell the trees were either planted or allowed to grow in an arrangment that maximised yield, are all very similar in age, and historically but not recently regularly trimmed for wood and sticks without chopping them down.
Asia and Africa (other than Japan, which did it with evergreen trees) historically used other materials (mainly grasses/palms), and in the Americas they used different construction methods both pre- and post-colonisation, so you don’t get (as many) old managed woodlands.
That is the weirdest generalization I’ve ever read.
Houses are built differently all throughout Europe. Trees were planted at different times, with different varieties. Sweden has huge swathes of pine, where I live it’s mostly oak and beech. A lot of that pine is fairly young while the forest near me is hundreds of years old. Hell, Wales has an ancient rain forest.
And yet the type of woodland in Deadpool & Wolverine appears almost exclusively in Europe, and so (given how much they’d have to go out of their way to find somewhere like that elsewhere), must be European.
If anything I’m generalising that all North American woodland is either primeval or modern plantations, but nowhere have I said that there isn’t woodland like that in Europe.

Interesting video on the topic
Thanks for sharing, interesting video!

There is no such thing as a European anything.
