BioShock Infinite Ending Discussion [SPOILERS]

[Heavenly_King]

The multi-dimensions concept in this game is quite simple, and yet very undercoocked. And they messed it up specially in the ending.

Just because another you in other parallel universe did somethings, it does NOT mean at all that if you die, the other will cease to exist and all what he has done will be undone. It is just ridiculous and poorly done. They try to complicate things just for the sake of doing so, and it does not ads to the experience because it is badly done.

So, Booker at the end realizes that he is in one of infinite paths, that offers similar events and consequences. And he notices that "he" in other parallel reality is Comstock, so he "allows" Elizabeth to kill him during the baptism which would mark the "birth" of Zachary Comstock, and thus eliminating all he has done, including Columbia; his racist, xenophobic, and patriotic crusade; and the harm done to Elizabeth. The problem here is that, the Booker that is the one who is being killed is not the Booker from the reality in which he is Zachary Comstock, so killing him wont change anything about Comstock destiny. It will just cause Elizabeth to to cease to exist, because his father is dead before the moment of her conception.

And even if that point was THE point in which multiple divergences will occur. It still has not much sense, because it would mean that previously to that event there was only 1 space-temporal line, and just because booker decides to do or not to do certain thing it will create "infinite doors", infinite possibilities? For real? What makes him so special that whole reality is affected to what the hell he does?

If you want to take it further, the one that should be killed is not the 40 years old Booker we are playing as, it needed to be the actual 21 or so years old Booker in that certain event.

The whole ending was made with the purpose of "mind-raping", but it is just poorly done in the end. And also there are other mistakes about the parallel universe concept throughout the game, but are not topic on this thread though.
