they're trying to compensate for the fact that they can't keep raising the stakes forever. power creep is getting too high and they need to come up with excuses for why characters with god like power are somehow too weak to stop somebody from getting killed

I though the anchor being concept was just to make a meta commentary on how the fox marvel universe died when wolverine died

>>205694088
He's not really a final boss type

Being meta is extremely lazy storytelling, anchor beings are basically just "if this character is unpopular, the films die" canonized. Which yeah, no shit.

I could create a fictional universe where I am the in-universe god of that reality, and canonically I can make anything happen in that universe, because I am the writer, I am god. It makes sense, but it's lazy hack writing

Nothing in the post explains who or what the anchor is. Post the fucking link next time

>>205694551
This is the best case scenario. It works in the meta-narrative of D&W but it would be a retarded concept if applied to the larger MCU so I hope they ignore it on future films.

Pretty sure its a concept in the shitty comics its just whoever wrote deadrool and wolverine used it for an actually good reason.

I wait for the end of Avengers 6 when the multiverse ends and everything gets reset into a singular timeline.
god it's crazy how much of DC's thunder Marvel got to first, literally everyone is asking for a Crisis type in-universe reset.

The multiverse is an uninteresting anti-concept since it makes the stakes precisely zero.
Why care about some hero doing some accomplishment or defeating a villain when either of them have an infinite versions of themselves.
If someone dies, at this point they can time-travel to save them, pull them from a different universe to get a near-identical copy, pull them out of the past, pull them out of the future, etc...
It makes everything arbitrary and lame.

Like someone said the other day it's like the entire MCU is a JRPG and after defeating the big boss Thanos the party members are now doing side quests of no particular relevance.

And it doesn't help that they replaced all of white male hero characters with lame side characters that are just plain shit.

Even worse now they're pulling RDJ back in with pure stunt casting as Doom, so they even fucked that up right out the door.

>>205694891

Tom Holland Spiderman has been rumored as an anchor being well before D&W came out so it seems like it's an actual concept they are running with.

I think they want to use this as a "pass the torch" moment where peter parker goes through a portal and saves the multiverse like his idol tony stark, and miles morales takes over as regular spiderman

>>205694970
>The multiverse is an uninteresting anti-concept since it makes the stakes precisely zero.
Yep

>>205694970
I'm not against multiverse's in narratives, and I am looking forward to it inevitably falling apart in-universe as I enjoy that trope, but MCU handled it's multiverse very poorly.

>>205694970
The way they did timeshit and multiverse stuff in Endgame/Infinity War was basically as far as ot ever should have gone. Loki opened a huge can of worms.

power creep is getting so bad the only thing they could do is a Roger Rabbit style mix of real actors and animated characters crossover with DBZ, set to the Falconer score. just battle after battle of Broly bodying the Avengers one by one.

>>205693930
>Multiverse.

This shit killed the MCU. Just go back to normal stories anymore. Normies tuned out as soon as it got confusing and you were expected to watch TV shows to keep up.

>>205693992
Some shit that Loki and Deadpool 3 introduced.

I thought it was a 4th wall joke that you would only do in Deadpool. Based on Disney getting all of the Fox stuff and throwing out what came before, except Jackman. Taking the idea seriously, and using it outside of the Deadpool movie, would be dumb.

Galactus being a sort of "anchor being" - which he sort is anyway in canon, since various cosmic entities have said his presence is essential to the universe - makes sense, because he was the first lifeform in his current universe as a refugee from the universe before it.

Logan as an anchor being, or really any normal person being an anchor being, makes no sense at all. How did the universe exist before Logan was born? He's only 200 years old, the universe was there for billions of years before him. If there was an anchor before him, why can't there just be an anchor after he dies?

What happens when an anchor being dies? Does the universe die too? Isnt that what happened in dp3? So doesnt that mean there are constantly universes randomly dying midway when their anchor being dies in the multiverse? Also how did their universe exists billions of years before the anchor being was born?

Sometimes time travel is okay but you have to have so many constraints on it that it feels convoluted to the point of breaking

I hate this sort of fourth wall breaking meta writing when it's actually being used as plot points rather than just as a quick joke. It comes from writers whose primary inspiration comes from consuming media rather than actually living real life and can only write in terms of media references.

I don’t understand how anchor beings work. Wolverine was the anchor being of his reality for example…

But he was born in the 1800’s. All of history before he was born exists. So how is that possible if this reality only survives thanks to him existing?

Also the stakes are laughable for losing your anchor being. Paradox said it takes thousands of years for the universe to eventually die off after the anchor being dies, that’s a long ass time and no reason for anybody to worry more than climate change lol

they don't, they wipe out that entire branch. Every part of that branch that was effected by the variant is thrown to Alioth. If you are also affected by the actions of that variant, you are sent to the Void too.

>>205703771
>I don’t understand how anchor beings work. Wolverine was the anchor being of his reality for example…
It's just typical Deadpool 4th wall meta shit. After Logan, no one cared about new X-Men movies and they all kept bombing. They're just acknowledging that certain franchises only work because of the overwhelming popularity of a single character, and if you try to push that character out of the spotlight the whole franchise will collapse because audiences just won't give a fuck any more.

>But he was born in the 1800’s. All of history before he was born exists. So how is that possible if this reality only survives thanks to him existing?
Again, this is a Deadpool movie and Deadpool is a 4th wall breaking character. Wolverine is a fictional character in a fictional universe. Fictional worlds are created already in motion, the first X-Men comic didn't start with the Big Bang.

>Also the stakes are laughable for losing your anchor being. Paradox said it takes thousands of years for the universe to eventually die off after the anchor being dies, that’s a long ass time
It's a metaphor for how dying franchises keep fruitlessly trying to stay relevant despite all interest falling off a cliff.

What you're saying is logical, but it doesn't actually change how the stakes FEEL to the viewer. It's like the difference between a poor kid with a set of action figures he loves and being a rich kid whose parents buy him every action figure in the store multiple times over.

If something bad happens to one of the poor kid's action figures, he'll be devastated because he can't replace it.
If something bad happens to one of the rich kid's action figures, he'll just shrug and move onto playing with one of his other hundreds of action figures.

It doesn't matter if you think about what the action figure would feel if it's real, because you know it's not real and how invested you'll be in what happens to it will always be tied to how permanent the consequences feel to you, the viewer. That's the whole problem, post-multiverse we just have an infinite toy box of identical action figures and nothing that happens to them matters to the viewer.

I don't think the TVA would be as big of a problem if they were actually depicted as a dangerous and overwhelming force who mercilessly kept the multiverse in check. But they're all so fucking bumbling and incompetent and bad at their jobs that it's impossible to take anything that they're involved with seriously.

You're already in a situation where having a multiverse at all can rob MCU movies of having real stakes, so drawing the eye of the TVA needs to represent a real danger, something to be feared, so that multiverse meddling isn't a get out of jail free card for avoiding narrative consequences and bringing back dead characters.

this is where is comes down to what the individual viewer values. Whether one values every single story throughout the multiverse, whether big or small will rest alongside their view on the stakes in the multiverse. I personally would enjoy a series following a hero who travels the multiverse saving every individual universe that hero can, even if it seems small in the grand scale of things. Because every story has its own value and separate stake.

Them using the multiverse stuff in proper hands could be fun but in small doses.
But it's Disney Marvel.
They're using it to hand wave recasting, explain why previous movies/flops exist, and shoe horn cameos.
Chances are this will be their explaination for why the first two Fantastic 4 movies, that reboot, don't exist anymore.

Turning a poorly thought out bit of meta commentary into the crux of your big 5+ movie finale is a bizarre discussion.

Byrne has issues. Nothing wrong with a romantic age gap. When you continue to present it in your works, however, is when you're you're clearly fetishizing an aspect of something you desire that you need to work out before presenting your work publicly. I remember her he had Superman lock lips with a teenage girl once and I just don't see how Clark could've thought that was acceptable. It's like when some older men insist they'll never fuck around with younger girls but then go
>Getting my dick sucked doesn't count.
And next then you know they're catching a case just for a few minutes of making some stupid girl feel good.

My parents have an age gap age of 10 1/2 years. I consider that my own personal limit.

Anchor beings don't make sense the way they were explained in D&W. If a universe starts dying when its anchor being dies, then are anchor beings normally expected to be immortal? And how did the universe exist before the anchor being was born?

Man, they really got to do a reboot sometime. The old 90s cartoons suffered from crossover and escalation where Spiderman wasn't just a friendly neighborhood Spiderman solving down to earth crimes. He was suddenly wrapped up in the worldwide problems the mutants faced and other cosmic shit going on.

Even worse for the MCU is that you might have one normal Fantastic Four movie to introduce them and the rest has to be about cosmic shit. X-Men has it even worse because by the time they're properly added to the MCU they're already knee deep in the multiversal stuff and there will never be any normal X-Men movies about the normal stuff they're supposed to face.

Galactus isn't even supposed to be a villain, not in the same way that Thanos is.

It's fine for a meta-comedy movie that isn't supposed to be taken seriously, but as a legitimate point of lore it's fucking retarded. It effectively implies that the universe doesn't matter. It exists solely to revolve around a singular character and without them it doesn't exist. The rest of the universe is essentially nothing more than a cast of npcs for the star. And apparently if the character dies, so does the universe? So every universe is doomed. Even funnier is the fact that evidently the requirements for becoming an anchor being are virtuous traits like generosity and self-sacrifice, which is completely counterintuitive to an anchor-being's purpose. If the entire universe's existence hinges on a single person's life, it would be far more altruistic of them to prioritize their own survival at all costs.

My assumption would be that the universe isn't precisely tied to a anchor-being's lifespan. Their eventual and inevitable existence is what spawns the universe and their death only means it will eventually unravel. It's still absolutely retarded though and they clearly put no real thought into it.

>Gay Mr. Fantastic
>The Silver Suffragette
And my biggest gripe? Johnny isn't Johnny. Chris Evans played Johnny as a guy excited to be a metahuman. That's because Johnny was always the default stand-in for dudes who like action. He wields fire and can fly. That's cool as FUCK. Why is, in the trailer, Johnny some dour faggot who doesn't want to even be filmed? He should be full of life and vibrant because his power literally is the flashiest and the odds that his powerset resonates with the target demographic and core consumer of superhero media: men. Instead in this gay trailer you have Sue with a stupid camera taking up all the camera time. Johnny should've snatched that shit and made his own vlog. This movie will fail because it's going to try HARD to incorporate Sue as the primary protagonist. Pedro Pascal is a homosexual so not long does he not have an ego when it comes to women doing more than him but he doesn't have the wherewithal to go
>No don't cast her as my opposite she's isn't camera friendly this is going to fuck up the entire production
Which is essential common sense for a lead to have.

Anon, this is a story, if the character is not popular, their comic ends and thus their "universe" ends
that is why they are anchors

Honestly some Marvel content should just be cordoned and left in it's own space. Mutant stuff especially. If Mutants are the primary source of super humans, why wouldnt everyone assume people like Spiderman/Hulk/etc aren't mutants as well? Wouldnt they face the same kind of discrimination? The reverse is also true, if The Avengers (with superpowers) are seen as heroes and worshiped, wouldn't that stem a lot of the bias against Mutants that try to be do-gooders?

My biggest takeway is that you have a group of people who know how to use the toys to maximize profit and audience engagement. Then you get another group of people who demand to take the toys and stage them in a different way because
>You're playing with them wrong!
Then they insist on arranging the toys in a way that "should make sense" to them as to why we like it. But in the end they either make the original audience completely apathetic to their efforts or upset enough to completely abandon the toys. So now they toys are in the hands of people who don't care about them enough to understand them or use them in a worthwhile way. All that screeching about how we "should" play leaves them all alone with it. Disney's repeated failure to give people what they want with Star Wars makes me never want to give the company any money or attention or hope that they can turn it around. DIsney a Little Girl IP machine that got rid of all of the men who had vision and now they're suffering for it.
