Deadpool and Wolverine villain is lying about the multiverse according to the wild MCU theory

Warning! This post contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine

Everything Deadpool & Wolverine Established about the MCU multiverse could be skewed by its human antagonist, as suggested by a Marvel fan theory. Deadpool experiences his biggest mission yet against his will in Deadpool & WolverineAs he ventures on a multiversal quest to bring a new Wolverine variant to his timeline after being kidnapped by the TVA. Wolverine meets some of Deadpool & Wolverines mutual cameo characters and gets one of them killed by Cassandra Nova. Not only is Deadpool able to save his timeline, but he also saves more than one pruned variant along the way.

After capturing Wade Wilson, Andrew Macfayden’s TVA agent Paradox explains to him why his universe is in danger. Paradox introduces the concept of MCU’s anchor beings – people so important and influential to their timeline that their death signals the eventual demise of the universe. In the case of the X-Men’s Earth-10005, Hugh Jackman’s original Wolverine condemned his timeline with his death in Logan. Although it seems like Deadpool saved Earth-10005 by bringing in another Wolverine variant Deadpool & WolverineAfter all, it’s possible that his universe isn’t in danger in the first place.

Paradox may have lied about the existence of anchor beings

Paradox’s wish to complete Earth-10005 makes his explanation of anchor beings rather suspicious

Paradox explains to Deadpool that the original Wolverine’s death started the countdown to the destruction of Earth-10005. According to Paradox, timelines can decay for millennia after their anchor dies, but he doesn’t want to keep watch over Earth-10005 for the next two thousand years. To speed up the process, Paradox commissions the Time Reaper, which eliminates the entire timeline without anyone inside noticing. Before Paradox gets more detail about Anchor Beings, Deadpool steals his TemPad and brings a new Wolverine variant to replace the original Logan, kicking off Deadpool & Wolverines multiversal plot.

Although replacing the original Wolverine with a new variant seems to be an effective solution, there is no solid proof that Paradox is telling the truth. Paradox is clearly willing to do anything to quit his tedious job overseeing Earth-10005, and Hunter B-15’s shocked reaction to the existence of the Time Reaper reveals that Paradox isn’t exactly playing by the TVA’s rules. While explaining the situation to Deadpool, Paradox expresses his displeasure about the TVA phasing pruning, and he doesn’t expect or welcome Deadpool’s spur-of-the-moment solution to Earth-10005’s anchor problem, but he can’t really explain why. It is also not a feasible solution.

What Earth-10005’s Wolverine and Deadpool could be, if not anchor beings

Certain characters may still be important to the MCU multiverse even if they aren’t anchor beings

Paradox may have lied about the existence of anchor beings just to justify his decision to eliminate Earth-10005. However, some characters may still play a special role in the multiverse. When Deadpool reminisces about his time-traveling antics with Cable’s device, Paradox tells him that the TVA found them amusing and nonthreatening. However, Paradox doesn’t elaborate on why the TVA wanted Deadpool in the first place. The TVA chases Deadpool at the beginning of Deadpool & Wolverine Because he had already stolen Paradox’s Tempad at this point. After the flash-forward, It’s unclear what the TVA really wants from Deadpool.

Paradox waves off this question when he tells Deadpool that the TVA wants to rescue him from Earth-10005 “For purposes even obscure” to himself. His higher-ups at the TVA may know that Deadpool will be a key player in it Avengers: Doomsday And Avengers: Secret WarsWhere Deadpool and other characters could take charge of a multiversal overhaul. Meanwhile, Paradox might have been able to use the Time Reaper on Earth-10005 secretly if the TVA hadn’t planned to save Deadpool, but once Deadpool entered the picture, Paradox needed to come up with the concept of “anchor being” To justify his actions.

Instead of anchor beings whose deaths automatically doom entire timelines, key Marvel characters like Earth-616’s Iron Man, Earth-10005’s original Wolverine and Deadpool could be destined to save universes. For example, Iron Man may be destined to defeat Thanos, the original Logan may be destined to save his universe’s last generation of mutant heroes, and Deadpool may be on track to fulfill his destiny. This change would explain why Deadpool appears to die in Thor’s arms on the TVA monitors, and it would avoid the confusing implication of the anchor beings that the existence of an entire timeline depends on the short life of a single mortal being.

Another paradox detail may reveal why he really wanted to destroy Earth-10005

Paradox may have invented the concept of anchor beings because he holds a personal grudge against mutants

After Pyro calls Paradox to inform him of Deadpool and Wolverine’s escape from the void, Paradox hangs up and says to himself “Oh, Mutants” With clear design. This short line of dialogue may suggest that Paradox has dealt with many mutant variants over the eons, but it may also suggest that he is disgusted by mutantkind in general. Paradox’s hatred of mutants would also explain why he wants to destroy Earth-10005 so quicklyHow he would hate to watch over a timeline full of mutants for the next two thousand years.

Humans tend to be the X-Men’s biggest enemies in most universes. Xander Rice and the Reavers persecuted and drove mutants to extinction LoganAnd humans launched a successful attack on mutantkind in the new Wolverine’s timeline. Perhaps, Paradox and other TWA agents with a particular dislike for mutants helped shape the events. Or now that he has seen the end of Mutantkind in LoganIn 2029, maybe Paradox just wants to fast-track the destruction of Earth-10005 and move on to another timeline where he can witness mutants suffering.

Paradox’s anchor being located would confirm Doctor Doom’s greatest weapon (and enemy)

Power in the MCU multiverse can no longer be measured by superpowers or skills

Without any superpowers or special abilities, Paradox almost kills every mutant hero and villain in the X-Men Movie universe at the touch of a button. All Paradox needs to do to destroy Earth-10005 is commission the Time Repairer and use it in secret. If it wasn’t for Deadpool, Paradox could kill every mutant character and no one would ever realize it. If Paradox really made up the concept of anchor beings to justify the destruction of Earth-10005, he would cement himself as one of the most dangerous MCU villains introduced thus far: The paradox may have come close to destroying an entire universe out of pure boredom.

Once any villain gets their hands on a weapon like Deadpool & Wolverines Time Reaper, they can immediately become more powerful than Thanos, Ego and the Celestials themselves. They just need to get the TVA’s resources to wipe out countless timelines in the blink of an eye. Of course, most of the TVA would do their best to stop such a plan, and the God of Time and Stories himself Loki would likely intervene. If Doctor Doom executes a similar plan to Paradox’s in Avengers: Doomsday Or Avengers: Secret WarsHe would need to get rid of Loki. After that, the multiverse would be his.
