But the two concepts are different in some key ways.Nexus Beings tend to be focus points for their universe, aka when they move, the universe tends to move with them. That in itself is a pretty radical concept. But the universe can exist (and often does as nexus beings are often killed in comics at one point or another) without them. The idea of a being that literally if they die, existence just stops....is a pretty different (and much worse concept).That all said, neither concept is likely appropriate for the MCU, and this is an area where the MCU has gone off the rails to its detriment. When the MCU started, it presented the idea of a singular connected universe in the media of the movies. And while comics are wonderful inspirations for ideas, at the end of the day the comics world has these characters constantly refreshed in new forms, where the idea of continuity often takes a complete back seat to interesting story telling. In comics, villains often never die, people are constantly resurrected, there are a dozen takes on various characters, etc. That's the medium.With the MCU originally, a lot of the zanier concepts of comics was reigned in favor of a more traditional movie format, and it was wildly successful. But now I think the MCU in the search for ideas is pulling in more and more of those zany comic tropes that works fine in that medium but does not translate well to the movies (especially considering a lot of the MCU audience DO NOT read comics, they are movie watchers not comic readers).Now when deadpool was its own thing, I didn't mind a lot of the zanier concepts. Its deadpool afterall, its weird and crazy and its just its own thing....go nuts!!!But now Deadpool is a part of the MCU, and so what happens in the movie presumptively is cannon for movies to follow.</blockquote>
