Topic	How do you prefer multiverses and alternate timelines to interact in media?
DaxNovalis 04/11/24 3:44:08 PM #12:	pazzy posted... It sort of does, it creates situations where hefty situations can branch off based on cascading effects. Ie, what if Peter Parker didn't get bit by the spider? Because it was just random chance and the spider could have bitten anyone. There is not time travel, you cannot go backwards, you can't go forwards, but you can possibly jump to different universes. It's a way where you can have some sort of smaller cascading effect but not have to rewrite the entire world, and it's a way to showcase how little any of our personal decisions truly matter overall. The other ones just get kinda confusing. Doesn't the third option cover that? You could just say that multiple timelines are identical up to a certain point where they differ because an event turned out differently. <cite>DaxNovalis posted [p:979857956] in How do you...
