Actually, I can answer some of that. The reptiles don't survive after you kill Azala, they're from an alternate timeline... that for some reason are dragged to the past due to the other city Chronopolis or whatever getting sent back in time. (Yeah i know, why the hell did that happen.) To give them the benefit of the doubt i'll say it's the secret lizard ending in CT. This too is where the "Dragons" came from. Where they were during CT I can't say... It's one of those time paradox things that completly fucks with the story. Same with El Nido which was created when the time city from the future was drawn to the past. Which again I guess happens after CT which doesn't make any sense and screws with the time paradox problem again that CT deftly avoided. Also, I think it wasn't so much that Lavos created humans as he "directed" humans. Like influenced people to build technology and such and to advance at a faster rate then normal evolution wise. How this makes the earth stronger for him to consume rather then weaker... i've got no clue. As for every important person being from the Arichpelo... i'd guess it's because they're all from the future but don't know it because the original scientists all had their minds brainwashed... by evil robo. So they woudln't screw with the timestream... or... something. Rather then... letting the scientists try and get back to the future. Granted all this just raises more questions... but there you go. |
They were all rhetorical questions, but your anwers helped me show how fucked up the whole plot is. With every time travel story you have a basic paradox (like you said, CT tried to avoid). However in CC you have all them times the parallel universes created. The plot is so retarded, that it is impossible to use logic to refute it. Like you said, every question you answer bring several more questions. That is the idea with parallel universes (every choice creates several other dimensions). And mixing it with time travel is incredibily stupid. Think about possible outcomes in CC ending:
1) Serge saved everyone
2) he died and his teammates survived
3) Kid died, he saved the world
4) he failed
Now let`s say that people can travel from the future or past and change that. Someone from a different dimension could also change that. Even though there are only 2 dimension according to the story, someone could make it to the time that the extra dimension was created and make another. Every new dimension is linked to the others and people can time travel and try to change everything in the other dimensions or timelines. However, if Lavos destroy all existence then the dimensions and the timelines are destroyed. But, someone could come from the future or the past and change the outcome of Serge`s batle. Add to that the fact that a simple accident could create a new dimension or warp people and objects to different ages and dimensions and Serge is not even relevant to the story. What if someone came from the future, saved Serge from the panther and Schala never heard him cry? And then ... my brain explodes.
See, it does not make sense.
Also, if I am not mistaken a ghost in Chronopolis said that Lavos created the humans (they also said that thing about evolution). Do not worry, that was just one of those plot twists added for dramatic effect rather than locigal effects. The game is full of them. Like the fact that Schala fused with Lavos got 10 years youger, dyed her hair yellow and then became a new being whose only purpose was to destroy everything - just because Lavos is bad loser and let anger consume him.
