Odin would be a strong contender for anchor being. Odin's death represents more than just the loss of a king-it symbolizes the removal of a key stabilizer in the fabric of the universe. His awareness of cosmic artifacts like an infinity gauntly, power over Asgard and its enemies, and connection to larger cosmic events make him the ultimate "anchor being." Without his presence, the universe begins to unravel-Ragnarok destroys Asgard, Thanos wipes out half of all life, and ancient beings like the Celestials and gods meet their demise. Thus, Odin’s existence was critical to maintaining the timeline and cosmic order, and his death set the stage for universal chaos and decay.

[@ThePonDePon]

I don't think just one person could be the anchor being, i think it depends on what the person is supposed to do in their timeline and whether or not they meet that goal, literally all of the avengers could be considered anchor beings

[@Duaality.]

It kind of makes sense that Strange would be the anchor being if they ever bring it up again. There's no doubt he would learn he was the anchor being, and we've seen how obsessive he can become with prolonging the life of a loved one or even an entire universe.

[@flormonet]

5:43 you had me in the first half 😂

[@dannydecasas9996]

What is the cosmic significance of an anchor being? Why do they exist? Are they the universe personified in some form? Like maybe the MCU could merge the concept of eternity and an anchor being. Through this they would act as avatars or embodiments of their universe evolving from all the sentient life it has hosted, eventually becoming a being in some capacity.

[@Saengard]

It's the one person who so far has created incursions where 2 realities merge. So far, that's only been seen with Dr Strange

[@bellcurve0]

Kang as the anchor being… people would straight riot. Lets just be happy folks seem to be on board again with marvel movies from the deadpool goodwill.

[@kevincagigas2514]

Disney's Agatha might be set during the Multiverse of Madness and a scene might take place where Agatha will appear last minute to save Wanda.

[@elialfassi9139]

The problem I would think with Spiderman, Doctor Strange, and anyone who got snapped by Thanos is that until Deadpool and Wolverine replacing an anchor being was never established so the question becomes whether or not bringing an anchor being back to life after 5 years of death saves 616 from slowly dying out.

[@OfficialMangek]

Anchors keep something "Anchored" to something else, the main timeliness doesn't have an Anchor being, it's the MAIN time line, the line all other timeliness are anchored to. I believe Anchor beings are the beings that caused timeline splits and originally would have been the ones pruned (Like Loki for example) and their universe plays out the story of how things would have been. So once they die, their story no longer needs to be told so the Universe withers away.

[@cursebarklee41]

I bet Doom died in 616 due to some sort of accident or other and because of that Tony died as well. It’s possible that there are 2 anchors and if one or both die it’ll effect the universe is why there will be a Tony Stark/Doom lookalike lol

[@timfries7236]

Ravonna from Loki should be Kang's female doppleganger, like Sylvie and Loki. It would be a good wrap-up to their weird connection during season 2.

[@ajfar3514]

Steve Rogers could be a good candidate for being the Anchor Being

[@prestige2770]

Strange seems more lore accurate, but Tony just makes sense

[@zachmoore3997]

I think it’s possible it might be Loki tbh cause it’d be a stretch but he’s always present and isn’t ever actually “dead” and is now holding that universe together

[@SevenYearSacrifice]

Wasn't it in Johnathan Major's contract that no one else could play Kang? All variants had to be played by him.

[@TheDrexLord]

I think cap could be the ancor being. He was the first canonical hero of the mcu (thor aside), and he also was key in a lot of major moments

[@docdaytona108]

Anchor being is such a stupid concept. How did a universe exist and stay together for all the billions of years before their arrival? Why would one being’s existence cause a gradual decay of spacetime upon their passing, when they almost always have very finite lives? It was a plot device to bring Wolverine back for at least one more film, but beyond that, well, it kinda falls apart.

[@stevil6669]

This concept is from the comic books. Not created for Deadpool and wolverine. I get what you're saying, but it wasn't just a random design just to sell movies, like you're implying, because it came from the secret wars comics.

[@ttt9830]

It’s not that hard to understand. Before the anchor being was born doesn’t mean the universe falls apart. The reason for that is because The Anchor Being hasn’t died. Dead and Born are different. When family talks to you about times before your time they don’t say “Before you were dead” no they say “Before you were born”

[@amadeus.7436]

​@@ttt9830 It's still stupid. There's no logic behind it. They don't even bother trying to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why it works like it does.

[@tomcoyle3609]

Completely agree

[@BakingBadOBX]

@@stevil6669 it still could be used from the comics for that purpose, and when used in the comics it is a pretty random design. and poorly thought ou

[@Lypiros]

Just an additional information, when the avengers goes back to the past, and Loki asked why aren't they being arrested by the TVA, Ravonna answered that it was suppose to happen. Meaning to say that it could possible that Stark was suppose to die to save that universe, so that also supports that Tony isn't the anchor being despite carrying the victory so many times.

[@Kuhnai]

It's actually Spiderman. All three Spiderman are the anchor being for their respective universes. This was the original script idea for Kang Avengers movie.

[@xxmrtreyzxx]

Maybe Nick fury ? Or maybe they have a multi anchor beings since it’s the sacred timeline

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

I always wondered why Doctor Strange was playing with water when he could’ve easily froze it during endgame. Maybe he is the anchor being.

[@Jc-fp2im]

I don’t think there is a anchor being for the 616 universe because it’s the sacred timeline it’s never supposed to end

[@MrCake-ui8uo]

Kang chose it to be the sacred time line..

@@MrCake-ui8uo now that you say that I vaguely remember that and now I gotta go rewatch Loki

[@andrewbogard2411]

​@terrygallo8999 that's what I was thinking, loki died in endgame but a version of him was brought into the 616 universe, so I think it is loki as he is literally the anchor being holding the timeline together

[@CootiePootieTootie]

I'm still so confused about Wade meeting up with Happy. I could have sworn they said that was in 616, but then they switched as if it was the same Deadpool. Can you do a video about that?

[@tomrees82]

I saw a comic suggesting that Hulk will be the last person still alive after everyone else is dead. So, could be him.

[@rickkarrer8370]

I think Kang makes the most sense, as it’s his “Sacred Timeline”. It is entire timeline relied on someone else, he would’ve found a way to preserve them.

[@hashtagselfie]

This is a such a stupid guess considering he’s only been in one movie

Hear me out now, what if the reason thor was crying was because Deadpool sacrificed himself because he (Deadpool) knew that Thor was the anchor being. 😮😮

[@hariboddeeti]

According to me, for 616 timeline it requires no anchor being because it is the main timeline where other timelines gets created and destroyed.
