00:00Did you know that the giant Ant-Man skull in Deadpool and Wolverine reveals one of the darkest secrets of
00:04the MCU?
00:05Everyone was shocked to see that colossal body in Deadpool and Wolverine, but this wasn't the first time.
00:10In the Loki series, we also saw a giant yellow jacket helmet thrown into the void.
00:14But if you think about it, there's a much more terrifying reason why both are there.
00:17In the Loki series, we learned that the TVA eliminates anyone who causes a major deviation in the sacred timeline.
00:23These variants are sent to a place at the end of time known as the Void, a true graveyard of
00:27erased realities.
00:28In other words, friends, only truly catastrophic threats end up there.
00:32Now comes a detail that changes everything.
00:34At the end of the first Ant-Man movie, Scott Lang needs to shrink and enter the quantum realm to
00:38defeat Darren Cross.
00:39And it was exactly this event that, years later, allowed the Avengers to discover time travel.
00:44Without it, the plan against Thanos would never have existed.
00:47But imagine if, at that moment, Scott had made the wrong decision.
00:50If instead of shrinking, he had grown and become a giant Ant-Man.
00:53In that scenario, the Avengers would never learn how to time travel, and Thanos would win forever.
00:57And that's where the TVA comes in.
00:59Its mission is to erase threats that could destroy all of reality.
01:02A timeline in which Thanos definitively wins would be the biggest Nexus event possible, which would require immediate elimination.
01:09So that skull isn't just an Easter egg.
01:10It's proof of a reality in which Ant-Man made the wrong decision and ended up meeting a tragic fate.
01:15So with that.
