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. |
Huh, that is a good point. Since there was supposed to only be 2 realities, that split at the death of serge when he was really young... where the fuck did the reptile city come from.
Hah, i hadnt' thought of that, there were only supposed to be the two realties. Then there were three. Except... the two you travel in aren't apparently natural.
Yeah, that story really is just screwed up. I think it partially has to do with them putting destiny in a game about hopping through diemnsions and the existance of different dimensions. I still don't get why Lavos ended up in the same place Schalla did that was some lost weird beyond dimension. They just tried to make him a lot more then he was. He wasn't some big evil mastermind like Kefka or Sepiroth that just wanted to destroy everything. He was a space parasite.
