Fuck you. Just fuck you Marvel.
Yeah, that’s the point where I’m at with this studio. It’s done. Everything has been butchered beyond repair. Everything in the MCU storyline has been destroyed. Everything I’ve cared about in the MCU and every action that has been taken by the characters has been rendered meaningless. This show literally strips any and all free will from all the characters, whom we previously thought were all making meaningful choices, as well as from any choices that will be made in the future.
Nothing the character’s did meant anything because every single choice they made was actually made for them at the whim of three fucking lizard people. And then later on, it’s revealed that the TVA has like 20 infinity stones and they just toss them into a draw like it’s nothing.
I am not fucking kidding. I wish I was making that up. Fuck me.
The world building this series spent 11 years in the making has been rendered pointless on a monumental scale. The entire continuity has been rendered meaningless. This entire show is built on a fundamentally broken premise. There is no saving it.
Honestly this series can get fucked with a cactus and I couldn’t possibly give less of a shit. I’m done. This show has officially broke me. I won’t be watching the rest of this series, and I can’t promise I’ll be watching anymore future MCU content unless they get their shit together.
The series that I’ve been with since I was 8 years old is so bad now that I don’t even wish to continue watching it anymore. What a sad fucking day.
No science-fiction narrative survives the time machine unless it's carefully built around it
Couldn't agree more. It forever trivializes any danger, and minimizes the severity of any and every situation, because it can be the catch all bandaid.

That sounds like something Vonnegut would have said about his own work, honestly

I like that the first thing they did when they brought in time travel was to shit on BTTF and most of time travel fiction for being 'wrong' about how time travel works. Normally my attitude for this type of thing would be "chill out, enjoy the story that's being told, and don't worry about the minor technical details" but you don't really get to use that defense when that's the stance you take.
Haven't seen any of this show anyway, so whatever.
There was some sci-fi story that had time travel but they could not interfere with anything, they were essentially ghost observers. Can't remember the name.
Pretty sure Asimov wrote a short with this premis, but I think this comic is my favorite iteration of the idea:

They do this with memories in Harry Potter. 😅
Not to mention the time turner was used so Hermione could be even more of an insufferable know it all, and to save a hippogriff. There are a million other times that work have come in handy. It's like how raiders of the lost ark didn't need to happen cause the Nazis nuked themselves when they opened the ark.
The only author I have come across that has done time travel right is Stephen Baxter.
