Okay, as we all know, the poparena has been making big waves about Tobias letting the asteroid hit the planet and dooming the Mercora in Megamorphs #2. In the Time of the Dinosaurs. What I want to know is what YOU guys think of that action, and discuss the morality of it. Was it justified?
First, I'll give my two cents.
All the evidence points to the fact that it was what physicists call a predestination paradox: A time loop, where the future is writing its own present. In other words, they were MEANT to go into the past, murder the Mercora, and destroy the dinosaurs to give rise to the primates. It points to that evidence because as soon as they got back, nothing had changed, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that their actions led to the very future they were born in.
My problem is that they used a Sario rip, which is essentially a hole in space-time, to go back. You'll all remember in #11. The Forgotten that a hole in space-time is something that warps time and must be closed, an anomaly in the fabric of the universe. If they had used a different method, it would have made far more sense, because then you could argue that time travel is different for each method, something that could be scientifically based.
Poparena, if you want a way to try and forget what Tobias did, there are many ways to do that.
1) Tobias was so guilt racked that he asked the Ellimist to come and wipe out his memory.
2) Tobias asked the Ellimist to wipe out ALL their memories. Obviously, this takes place after the end scene in MM#2.
3) It was all just a dream.
4) Cassie just had a dream and Jake was humoring her at the end.
Well, that's my opinion, anyway.
