Max's power and love for Chloe literally broke the last thread.

the latter

>>182508006
It never really had a chance, no offense to Rachel.
Chloe always loved Max and Rachel didn't love Chloe back. Amberprice will always just be a Santa Monica Dream.
A 'what if?' that lives in part of Chloe's head but that she knows would never have worked out. Besides, I think Rachel knew where Chloe's feelings really were.

>>182508475
So, Chloe was to Rachel what Warren is to Max?

Before Episode 5's release:
>Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true
>Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story
>We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals..
>Jefferson knows about Max's powers
>Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us
>Victoria's with Max,she'll save her
>(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave.
>Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream
>Blue Jay's Chloe

After Episode 5's release:
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right
>We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS
>Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney
>David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers.
>Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it.
>Nathan get killed,Victoria too
>Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it.
>Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something.
>Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time
>Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name.
>Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe
>Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it.
>Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch.
>Chloe has to die thing comes true, Cemetery scene explained with that.
>The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it

>>182508550
I think that's really over simplifying it.
Warren and Max were only friends for a month and weren't super close. Max also seemed slightly oblivious to what Warren wanted.
Rachel and Chloe were friends for years and very close, to the point they discussed a possible future together in LA.
Maybe for a time Rachel did think of returning Chloe's feelings but you can't force yourself to love someone.
Overall, I think what we will see Chloe and Rachel had will be unlike what any other character have had so far. A close bond that both heals and damages at the same time.

>>182508705
Max n' cheez!

Rachel and Chloe raising hell together will be a lot of fun.
But it won't replace what Max is to Chloe and the future they have together. The prequel is essentially an elongated flashback or story told through Chloe's eyes.

Unfortunately the endings still divide people and I hate to say it, but if you don't like Chloe/didn't save her, then you are probably not going to enjoy /lisg/. Not unless you're looking for tons of posts about a Pricefield future or debates using a very unique way of thinking that exists only here.
/lisg/ is definitely not for everyone and there's nothing wrong with that.

the tornado look big and scary but it ended up only causing EF2 level damage.
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/pqr/aumsville.php
this was a EF2 tornado in a small town Oregon. only 2 minor injuries.

>>182517256
From the damage we see in the end when Chloe and Max drive away, it looks like the storm wasn't too bad.

The diner and other buildings are still standing, there's little debris blocking the road, and there's no fires. We barely even see a few bodies.
Plus there's the text message from Warren to Max talking about the storm and it's three hours before Max gets it. Those in the town had that long to notice the storm, listen to radio warnings, and either get out or get to shelter.

When you also think about it, the final timeline has a lot of unknowns if David and the police arrest Jefferson quicker then they are left with both time to help people as well as knowing about the Dark Room, a usable storm shelter. They could drive into town and rescue people.
Max and Chloe wouldn't know about any of this because they were on their way up to the cliff.
Some even say (though it's a bit of a stretch) that Max and Chloe leave the town a day or two after the storm when everyone is already in some kind of relief camp or shelter so they know Chloe's family and their friends are alright.

I want to start an LiS/coastal themed restaurant named Two Whales.
Have little references to the game, name menu items after characters, have photos of Pricefield and friends hidden in places.

>>182519443
This but unironically. Everything I've seen of her has made me fall more and more in love with her personality. Max level qt

I feel like this has been posted about before, but I want to mention something in the BtS junkyard scene that's been bugging: Chloe baring her soul to Rachel less than a day after they met. To a lesser degree, she was the same way with Max in the original game.
I've been thinking about it and it's got me wondering if Deck Nine/Dontnod misfired on a piece of Chloe's character. Something intuitively tells me that after losing William and Max, Chloe should have built up a shell and become reluctant to open up to anyone.
It sort of seems like they're going for this angle with her punk persona (she's tried to become this hard badass), but again, she immediately opens up to Rachel in BtS, and in the original game, is willing to immediately tell Max all about her relationship with Rachel like 30 minutes after (re)meeting Max.

>>182525730
I've thought of this as well and I think there's more to it. We see in one of the glimpses of Chloe's nightmare that Rachel is in it. At least her hand with the bracelets.
I wonder if that may have been before they really met so when Chloe sees Rachel, it's a 'Girl from my dreams' type of thing and that's why Chloe opens up so quickly, she thinks it's some kind of fated thing but can't say it out loud because that may weird out Rachel and make her go away.
That, or Rachel really did have something attracting about her that made Chloe realize she didn't want to be alone. There's more to their first day together than we saw in that short gameplay video but I don't think it will just be Chloe latching onto the first person to be nice to her. Because you're right, she wouldn't just trust Rachel right from the start.

So what the fuck was the nightmare scene in ep 5?

>>182524824
follow your dreams

>>182528138
It was all of Max's fears about herself, about her friends, her actions, and about Chloe. Primarily Max worrying that she's not good enough for Chloe.
I've wondered if there were two opposing forces trying to sway Max in that nightmare. One trying to frighten and dissuade her, and one trying to help Max realize she's good.

>>182507210
Daily reminder that developer's intention about storm was obsessed with Max's actions in bathroom (as beta-Bay ending's intention putting Chloe into coma was showing it) It wasn't obsessed with Chloe's survival. There's no such a thing in universe will be get rid of her in bae ending. If anything in bae they didn't use the power to change anything, however you were playing-god in Bay ending and undoing those actions which you were *meant to* do that.

Game was literally saying going back into time during bathroom actions is what caused the storm (and you know.. some dipshit said this) But completely ignores our first vision with spiritual doe before all of things.

Butterfly Effect were their version of Butterfly Effect, it definitely can't be related with original Butterfly Effect.Also when we created a complete different timeline by saving William in 2008, storm was coming after 5 years. Storm was only coming for Arcadia Bay, not for the whole world.

Another fact, which has trannyfaggot missing entire time, In wheelie Chloe timeline storm was still coming so whether if you accept&refuse Chloe's wish, the town will be swept away by the storm anyway.

Final Destination shit wasn't going on, Chloe has always been in trouble.If anything, some people from cast has also rewind-needed deaths (even this happens with Max) If universe really needed to get rid of Chloe, then it should've stopped doing its job when Jefferson fucking killed her, this means if train hit her or whatever storm wasn't gonna stop. Universe was trying to gain town's balance with storm because changes had made in bathroom, (but there's no way Bay ending's timeline could be original because changes already been made, dontnod hack writers literally ignored it that's another story)

>>182538414
The storm is coming in all but one of the alternate timelines we visit. If anything, that means the storm is the default state, and Bay timeline is an alternate universe. The vision of the storm prior to any changes at all also supports this.

>>182538414
>In wheelie Chloe timeline storm was still coming so whether if you accept&refuse Chloe's wish, the town will be swept away by the storm anyway.

>another reason to show storm isn't connected with Chloe's survival rather than actions in first place

those faggots can't understand the fact that, universe IS trying to gain balance with some magical storm since action has been made. in first place. it wasn't actually trying to delete that person from that timeline.
also, their DESTINY/fate was getting these powers and using it in first place. that's why they meant to be together

>>182538414
Anon it has been 2 years and we already discussed,confirmed these. Those all were obvious from the game.
As you can see from the previous thread, trannyfaggot was falseflagging so hard,replying to herself to justify /////his//// own retarded theories.

>>182538720
In prev thread, I've seen someone replied like

> ''Wrong, the Bay timeline is the one where things happened naturally''

And this is absolutely wrong.Game may take bathroom actions as major action but there are also major logical fallacies,and missed things.Okay let's ignore her first vision in bathroom,spiritual deer and shit. It wasn't absolutely natural because to original timeline Max meant to use those powers and intervene instead of hiding. That was her choice in first place. In bay ending you also undoing those actions and continuing from that timeline. But Max has all knowledge about people now? Wouldn't that also change course of events?

It wasn't also a pure timeline,because changes has already happened (Max ripped SF photo, Max fixed up her camera,fucked up other realities etc. etc.) This is where game shits on the bed. While game saying ''making changes is bad'' ,again, that's what we literally doing in Bay ending,we are undoing actions which we meant to do at that moment because we meant to get these powers. But at least in Bae, you don't touch anything anymore and accepting the things as they were, not playing gamble with your own powers anymore.

>>182518530
do you think that the level of damage shown was just for effect (compared to what would have been realistic from the actual stated intensity of the storm)? so that playtesters and the like connected that they were driving through the ruins of the town and so the designers had a "setpiece" for the final cutscene instead of just a desolate wasteland? "where is this, how can i tell this is arcadia bay?" etc.

i was also under the impression that there were some non-meteorological/"supernatural" qualities about the storm

>>182540337
I get what you are saying but nah. They could've made it more realistic with some models even without making desolate wasteland, I mean, one example there's no way they'd forgot to show the diner's explosion, in this ending however it seems to be not exploded.

game developers didn't entirely say everyone's dead though here is also that. said, it's up to your headcanon whatever. And from this presentation,we don't exactly need some headcanon because we're already thinking there may be losses for sure, but not WHOLE town died.There should be more survivors at least. It sounds so ridicilous to me whenever someone says WHOLE TOWN DIED WHOLE ARCADIA PEOPLE DIED NO SURVIVORS after this scene.

>I've wondered if there were two opposing forces trying to sway Max in that nightmare. One trying to frighten and dissuade her, and one trying to help Max realize she's good.


is this not explicitly shown by the nightmare/flashlight section where everyone is talking about how much you fucked up, then the max in the dream diner before chloe swoops in and things start looking up and you get that whole "positive memories" section that shows you all the good things you did?

didnt you stop the explosion though, when you were going to the diner to get the photo?

i get what you're saying about the headcanon though. i think im of the group that there aren't any "important" survivors because the storm is representing the consequences of Max's choices like "how much does Chloe /really/ mean to you? How much are you willing to sacrifice?" kind of thing

at least not any survivors who Max affected with her rewind powers, since their "destiny" was technically altered and needed to be "corrected" by the storm (i.e. removed from the timeline)

>game developers didn't entirely say everyone's dead though here is also that.

huh? where was this?

>>182540894
when Chloe said ''this is the reality'' while arguing with nightmare Max, dream focused on their memories, Chloe's voice was also only thing that saved her from that nightmare.

That was from other timeline she rewound the time so she could get the photo for Chloe.

That's what I'm also talking about, actually Max didn't go there in original timeline and stayed with Chloe they were on the beach. But the diner wasn't explode without her help this time. So there may be chance that Joyce may be also survived

>i get what you're saying about the headcanon though. i think im of the group that there aren't any "important" survivors because the storm is representing the consequences of Max's choices like "how much does Chloe /really/ mean to you? How much are you willing to sacrifice?" kind of thing

Yeah me too. I'm not denying there isn't any death, but with this presentation there SHOULD be survivors. I understand choice's meanings, this is the reason why I chose this ending because can't live without Chloe obviously.

But when you think about if there're any survivors, you believe it because LiS is about consequences that ends up with same consclucion actually that's what we've seen from choices, choice wasn't saying DELETE ALL ARCADIA PEOPLE FROM EXISTENCE, those texts were showing Max's thoughts/action at that time. We just don't know the future.


>huh? where was this?

>>182541283
>at least not any survivors who Max affected with her rewind powers, since their "destiny" was technically altered and needed to be "corrected" by the storm (i.e. removed from the timeline)

but storm is only there for 'hit' the town actually. magical disaster had been created by your first actions in bathroom, it doesn't actually want any 'death' to correct itself. it wants to 'hit' to gain its own balance. people die because they still in town and can't escape because they didn't get warning signs.

if they fucked off from the town at the right time though, storm would be still coming for arcadia bay, it will hit and gone. there would be no deaths, and universe would balance itself without any loss.

They show the diner on the way out of town and the sign literally says "DI E" because of the missing letters. and since it blows up if you don't help the first time you're going there, i think it's relatively safe to assume that it blows up after you travel back with the photo too since you're not even in the town to help anybody

most of the important characters were gathered there at the end too, as a reminder of like "hey, remember these important people? keep them in mind because you're gonna have to decide their fate soon"

>>182542270
it's established that a few notable people did not get out of town though, during your last trek to the diner

>>182542270
>since their "destiny" was technically altered and needed to be "corrected" by the storm (i.e. removed from the timeline)

Storm wasn't trying to remove people from timeline. Since Max made changes in Arcadia Bay it was coming for there, as you can see from the timeline where she goes to the diner to get photo and save Chloe, even after Chloe got killed by Jefferson storm was still contuining to hit the town was doing its own job.

This is why some anons here are saying ''finding way to warn everyone and save your gf +town'' at the same time would make a perfect ending.

>>182542638
>''finding way to warn everyone and save your gf +town''

ideally, sure, but that takes all the gravitas and consequence out of the story. There's a recurring theme of "you can't have it all" throughout the whole game anyways

In another timeline, when it was exploded that sign was still on the top of it. I get why you pointed out this DI E sign, you mean it could've been showed foreshadow somethings etc. but how do you know it's related with certain people that you mentioned? or at least only with Joyce?

Can you also show that if it's exploded from that ending? >>182518121 Nah because it obviously didn't. Something has obviously changed in original timeline. Again, they said they left their fates blurry so we can assume that. Also that sign also doesn't change the fact that the diner obviously didn't explode in bae ending.. idk.

>>182542563
>it's established that a few notable people did not get out of town though, during your last trek to the diner
you didn't get what I'm saying I guess. i'm not saying there are no loss
what i was trying to tell you was storm was just a magical disaster which was trying to gain its own balance with hitting the town (and it lasts until a certain time,like real life tornadoes) it didn't need to sweep all people just because destiny or to remove people from timeline. it has created by certain action and it wanted to hit that goddamn town.

>>182542874
and what anon was trying to tell you there was the same thing with mine. if all Arcadia people get the hell out of the town storm would be still come for ARCADIA BAY just to hit there even if there's no people there.

>>182542563
>it's established that a few notable people did not get out of town though, during your last trek to the diner

Its established like that in a different timeline. Any number of things could have changed in the final timeline.

>>182543135
I also do believe some things had changed in that timeline. Because girls warned David more and they've found out Jefferson's place earlier etc. this also has to make some changes.

>this is an essential part of growing up
>without this experience you will be stuck as some kind of degenerate Peter Pan abomination forever
>also if you refuse your coming of age murder experience, we'll destroy your hometown instead

then they shouldn't have added this 'time-travel' thing in first place.
because in logical thinking there are many ways to to save everyone and the person you love at the same time. but with emotional message they just brainwash you and let you stuck between these choices.

>>182543135
>but how do you know it's related with certain people that you mentioned? or at least only with Joyce?

because the diner is the last place you see some notable, recurring people from the story, pretty much everyone you've interacted with the most (Joyce, Warren, Frank, someone else i don't really remember) except Chloe (since in this timeline she's dead) and David (who is in the Dark Room) and then Blackwell students who are just wherever.

i think if these people somehow miraculously made it out, (even with the "blurry fates" ending) then it takes some significance out of the choice to save or sacrifice The Bay. Since it is left vague, anything said just has to be hypothetical, but i think it makes the most narrative sense that these are the people you have to "give up" in order to save Chloe.

>>182543429
yeah i understand that it's coming for the town itself, not specifically for the people in the town

>>182543501
i guess so, but that just feels like a real "i can have my cake and eat it too!" way to approach things, when most of the game was about choices and consequences, is what im getting at here. I know i sound stubborn on this but i'm really not trying to be hard-headed

LiS 2 when

>>182544105

>>182543990
If you look at Max's phone during the very final scene, you can see she tried texting Warren multiple times and telling him to get out of town, and none of the texts went through. Her call to him went through perfectly fine in the previous timeline, so we know for a fact SOMETHING changed. As to what it was, thats up for debate, but the timeline HAS clearly shifted.

My theory is he is hiding in a bomb shelter, since the only time you ever dont have cell service is in the Dark Room, and we know Arcadia Bay has an unusually high number of bomb shelters.

Hell, its even possible David came and got everyone at the diner and took them to the Dark Room.

>>182543990
glad that you understand me.whew.

actually i wasn't expecting le disney happy ending but at least I wanted them to be more reasonable you know. okay consequences,okay hard choices, but they literally ignored everything for forced tragedy's sake. I wish they put little effort to consclucion I mean.

Like I said before ''LiS's about consequences which ends up with same consclucions. Choices were presenting Max's actions at that moment but we don't know the future'', You are making this choice for love,not looking back etc. it's theme is that, I know.

But since developer said it has been left blurry and with that presentation diner obviously didn't explode, and considering some changes happened in that timeline like I mentioned before, some people from the cast has chance to save. Like the other npcs.

>>182544201
Yeah she tried to warn him, to tell everyone take shelters asap. Even before of that they already changed something in that timeline by busting jeffershit out and warning david so.

>>182544201
hmmmmmmmmmmm, thats fair. i do remember now about there being a mention of a high number of bomb shelters, and it does kind of set things up to allow for a sequel or something if they so chose to ever make one.

>>182544546
true, but you can say that about a lot of media. "if they'd just done THIS, then everything would be okay" but then there wouldn't be much of an interesting story to tell

>>182543990
we're giving up on them while making that choice, I mean we decide to not fuck up with timeline ever again, but what about afterwards? it doesn't mean they can't manage to survive,can't make it. this is where their fates become blurry, sure there may be deaths, but it doesn't mean there're no survivors. argument here was *it's hard to think whole population of arcadia bay swept away* with this poor presentation.

>>182544201

trust me people are into this game because they attached to characters mostly Max and Chloe ofc,its osts and atmosphere. endings didn't attract anyone that much, emotional? yeah for sure. cliché? yup it was. tragedy was forced? absolute sure.

it also created retarded debates, and we realized there are many stupid,cold-blooded people --bayfaggots-- do exist from those interpreations.

That guy literally deserves it. >>182542391

He's the guy who was making out marketing talking like ''eheh in prequel you can shape Rachel and Chloe's relationship''. At least don't lie about prequel,goddamn.

>>182528138
The devs wanted to sort of tie together the game by making us remember things that happened, and to tie together Max's character. Oh, and to set up the final choice (e.g. with the nightmare scene in the diner).

>>182546126
>'eheh in prequel you can shape Rachel and Chloe's relationship

first of all you can't change Chloe's feelings (even if this is an ambigious timeline) at all because they are in set in stone and she showed Rachel interest since they've met with each other. then she had crush on her. this is where you should stop taking community manager seriously.

second, some people are thinking *we can romance* or *not*. it would be so stupid while mc has obviously feelings for the other one. this is a prequel, whatever happened between them also should end up with same path /like in previous game/ ,but this is prequel so that's more important in here.

that More than that vs. Friendship option will obviously end up with same consclucion. if you say ''more than that'' Rachel will leave you but her actions towards you would surely change maybe appreciate your bravery etc. , if you say friendship, she leaves you anyway as we've seen from playthrough she will be oblivious your feelings towards her, but one way or another she will realize it..

the writer also interpretted that scene as ''what does she voice Rachel'' at that moment. so you're not changing anything, but some people act like they can,meh.

>>182546324
It was also interesting to see Max's subconscious,how she interprets people's actions towards,her insecurities,fears.. Dark Room maze was kinda funny desu, Max's obviously took the part where Chloe makes fun of Max and giving attention,flirting with other people as one of her fears, feeling she's inevitable for Chloe.

Why are so many of you stupid and evil? Reality just has to send the storm or something even greater after Chloe. You realize Chloe will eventually just keep killing herself over and over until Max stops rewinding, right? Chloe isn't so bad a person she can keep killing people everywhere.

Wrong.
>no evidence

I guess this is what happens when stupid people sit with something for all this time...they still produce nothing.

The storm was reality course-correcting. Chloe was SUPPOSED to die, that's why the storms go away when she does. Her being alive creates TONS of variables and events that branch more and more the longer she stays alive. Things that are NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, the storm is reality and time itself deleting her and her interactions and newly created variables in order to contain that.

When she fucking leaves...it has to fucking do it all over again forever until the end of time or she dies as she's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE

I mean she didnt die in either of the original endings.

William was supposed to die too. No storm caused by him still being alive. And he was alive for 5 whole years extra! According to your theory, the only way to correct that would have been something like a meteor, and yet we dont get anything.

That timeline wasn't "hard" it was "soft" and not set yet. It essentially wasn't "real" yet. It was a virtual what-if that was destined to collapse on itself since it "knew" that Max was just going to go back and erase it without it doing anything.

EVERYTHING in LiS is stuff they already read up on in other works and theories, including the William one.

Its literally a giant slow moving tornado. Max has time to walk from the beach all the way to the lighthouse and then spend a few minutes talking to Chloe before it hits. Its not like it was a sudden warp in the fabric of reality that killed everything in visual range instantly.

>>182558245
William was never alive for all those extra years.

I'll explain time manipulation in a simple way.

Basically, you didn't exist until yesterday in this scenario. Because someone messed with time. But you THINK you lived a whole life but in reality you just popped into existence yesterday in complete relativity to those that are observing time from the point of manipulation.

It's a phantom timeline. If someone is traversing time or altering things actively to create a intended outcome, there's no guaranteed single instance or act they take to change the outcome.

In order for A to become G

Time FLOPS and WAGGLES becoming B,C,D,E and F all along the way simultaneously as it is being guided toward G.

William was a flop and waggle. A phantom timeline created momentarily, only becoming "real" once the obsever/creator of said timeline interacts with it and makes it real.

>>182558615
If it only becomes real the second Max interacts with it then why is the time storm several days into formation and not only just starting?

Anyone ever do this before in the game?

>>182558370
All data says it's a normal storm and that data would imply certain things are impossible such as it's level of devastation based on hard science. Except it's going to break the rules of reality and they are not prepared for that.

It's the equivalent of you walking up to your microwave to get your food out of it and it explodes killing you and destroying your entire home.

>Hurr you should expect the unexpected!

Haha no

>>182558748
It's the same moment she's showing up in relativity, it could have chosen any time before then in those years but only when she's arriving does it have to delete it.

>>182556341
You don't understand stories.

The endings are about meanings, not about realities. If you haven't noticed, the game uses pretty unrealistical stuff for narrative's sake as a fundamental function of its storytelling.

Both endings realistically would end up with them killing themselves not being able to cope psychologically. But narratively, they both represent messages, themes, sentiments. That you simply think "people died that's so bad how can you live with that" shows that you lack appreciation for narrative. They are not real people you know, it's not a morality simulator or psychological prognostics, it's an emotional and sentimental story about life, two people in it, their growing respectively and mutually. If a story is about even "dooming the entire Earth", that's just its symbolism. If it wants to portray the significance of, for example, a love between two people, and metaphorically destroys the entire Earth for it, that's nothing but a narrative way of saying that love is all-important.

Not that the ending doesn't mean much more than that, but you fail to grasp it on such a fundamental level I don't think it merits going into it.

>>182559094
You can literally see the tornado sloooooooooooowly approaching with your own two eyes if you look out a window. And the evacuation alarm on the radio calls it an EF6 tornado, so the one bit of data we have on it straight up says its NOT a normal storm.

>>182559218
But at that point its been forming for two days already.

>>182559283
It's not powerful, beautiful or romantic though...it's evil.

Do you understand that?

>>182559360
TIL not willingly killing the person you love most because theres a chance (not a guaranteed one even) that you could save others is evil

>>182557215
>The storm was reality course-correcting.
That doesn't make sense. It creates more chaos and "not-supposed-to-die" people dying.

>the storm is reality and time itself deleting her
She literally just walks away from the storm. It is not after her. Max had a vision of the storm before and after saving her, with her both in it and not in it. The story ends on the storm, with the decision, the respectively intended meaning. Anything else would render the finale utterly meaningless, and I'm sure the writers had something in mind for it all.

>it has to fucking do it
That's like saying Max keeps on wanting to save Chloe in the Bay ending and eventually kills herself not being able to bear it.

>all over again forever until the end of time
Even if that were the case, that's only an extension of the story and this ending's power and meaning.

>>182557646
>You ruin the growth of the characters.
Bay literally ruins the growth of the characters; Bae confirms it. One is regression, the other is progression.

>That's just how it is.
The Bae ending does exist, even if you don't like it.

>>182559360
Saving another human's life and sticking to your decisions that you've made following your convictions and your heart is not evil.

Telling a story about an all-transcending, all-obstacle-overcoming, all-significant love is not evil. There's growth and health and strength and humanity and identity in that story of such a relationship, of love altogether, and that fictional people die symbolical deaths in it is not "evil".

>>182559341
We know they aren't prepared for that level though. If it was "so slow and obvious" then stat services would have been in full force.
>>182559341
>But at that point its been forming for two days already.
Because. She. Is. Coming.

Let's say for example I can see the entire future.

I move Cup A to Spot A and it kills your family and countless others if it stays there among countless other things. That timeline exists RIGHT NOW

Now I move it to Spot B. A different timeline exists RIGHT NOW

Moving the cup from either point instantly creates that other time peopled based on the potential of the cup staying there. It's "soft" though as the point in time in which the cup can be moved is the observer/controller's position in time and it flops and waggles in reaction to it.

Now jumping immediately into the future of one of those makes it begin to be REAL. Before it was just a timeline shifting in and out of existing based on me switching the cup around.

That's what Max does, by going there she makes it real. And "time" knows this and begins to delete it.

Okay this is all I have time for, I have a class to teach so you guys are on your own. Have fun sighing and going googly eyed over killing countless innocent people and thinking it's "romantic" and "sweet"

>>182559854
>Have fun sighing and going googly eyed over killing countless innocent people and thinking it's "romantic" and "sweet"

Baemax doesnt kill a single person, but nice try.

Even if I despised Chloe I would pick Bae because its the only ending that makes any fucking sense. Max even straight up says earlier in the episode that she cant just keep rewinding and fixing everything.

>>182560032
>Baemax doesnt kill a single person
A court of law would find Max guilty, actually. If you have foreknowledge in any sort of what (which she can via time travel) then the choice she made is probably death sentence level stuff.

Look at captains that get sentenced for decades when they get people on board killed. Choose what you want, but Max does kill people by choosing to keep Chloe around.

And if you really want to make a ridiculous case out of it, any capable lawyer would find a treasure of material for argumentation in this story that Max, in fact, hardly did have reason to believe she could stop the storm, and on the other hand, that she would, directly and indirectly, irresponsibly, endanger... the entire universe's existence, in going back.

You might be surprised to find that BayMax would be decidedly worse off in a court of law, having gambled the time-and-space-continuum on a self-blaming, self-doubting belief when the week's experiences should have taught her (and did in fact teach her, as she states multiple times) that fucking with the distant past is way too dangerous.

But a court of law is really an absurd space to set this argument in.

>still not explaining why the storm doesn't dissipate when Chloe dies in the junkyard

>>182562696
Tfw the storm is the trolley and max is standing by the lever

Even everything else aside, Bay - while intended to show that we can come to accept even the greatest of losses - is completely fatalistic and defeatistic. Where Bae says "Yes, you can change things! You can fight for what you believe in and care about and win against all odds! Humans are strong and can prevail, love can make us defy and grow beyond the universe and overcome all obsacles, together!", Bay says "You shouldn't change things, you only make them worse! You cannot change things and should just sit down and eat the shit the universe is serving up, in regret and guilt! Let your love and identity and humanity die so that you may live!".

The storm represents Max's fear and doubt, and if you succumb to and give up on everything for it, it's the most tragic loss, of life, love, the strength and growth in it, the conviction and devotion, the identity and humanity.

The Arcadian people will fight the symbolical fight for their life and love like Max and Chloe did for theirs, with willpower and strength. They will rebuild with the same devotion, conviction and dedication with which Max and Chloe will go on, and they will face and fight the next storm just the same, as humanity's always had to, will always have to, inevitably, naturally, fight the human fight.

...and the only person tied to the tracks is Chloe and everyone else is just lying there like a retard perfectly able to stand up and go away from danger

What is at the center of Chloe's characterization?

Her abandonment complex. People she loved left her life. She thinks she deserves being abandoned, that it is her fault, that she is not worth sticking around for, not deserving of love and even life, doomed to be left to a lonely death.

Sacrificing her in the end would confirm these tragically false beliefs of Chloe. It is the ultimate abandonment, to let her die, the ultimate regression, to return her to the state before Max came back and showed her that she is worth everything, stuck to her through everything, gave her love and life. It is letting her die not knowing of that, all alone, under pain and the suggestion that no one will miss her.

Not sacrificing her is the ultimate dedication, the ultimate anti-abandonment, and showing her that she is worth and deserving of life and love and health and happiness, that she can do and be the same for Max.

What is at the center of Max's characterization?

Her insecurites. She second-guesses and doubts herself, is scared to get involved in life and be proactive.

Going back to the beginning of the week and hiding behind the stall is the literal, final second-guessing and doubting of everything she has done in the week, where she finally grew proactive, took on and defied the entire universe and fought for what she cared about and believed in. It is succumbing to her fear to get involved and change things, and a tragically false admission that she is wrong and can do no right and is to stay passive.

Ripping the polaroid apart and sticking to her decisions ultimately is the absolute confidence in herself and her decisions, the reasons she's made them for, place she's made them out of, and as such security in herself, a testament of her strength, that she can win her fight and that what she's fought for can prevail, a conclusion to her identity and growth expressed in the things she's done and decided.

>>182567904
What is at the center of their relationship?

That separation was bad for them. They were tragically forced apart at young age after sharing a joined-at-the-hip childhood friendship, and it stunted their growth, their health, their happiness. They longed for each other and developed shells around themselves with which to protect their inner childs against the world without one another there to give each other the strength to face it. In reuniting, they broke through those shells, reached to each other's inner true selves, brought them out to the world to face it, and healed each other through it all, build each other up, complemented and completed each other as the broken-apart pieces of one and the same thing. Grew confident, strong and determined, secure, satisfied, fulfilled, clear, calm, happy, loving.

To conclude their story on their separation is, again, the most counter-narrative, regressive thing imaginable.

To conclude it on their sticking-together-through-everything is the final message that their love is good, their bond strong, all-meaningful, all-powerful, has them overcome all obstacles from within and without and grow above and beyond, healthy and happy because of and despite it all, together. The proper conclusion to the meaning and power of time that really signifies the meaningfulness and powerfulness of their love, its significance and transcendence above-all.

If you're not into love stories, what is at the center of the supernatural coming-of-age story?

That time travel cannot fix anything. Max has to learn to not use the power, but stick to her decisions and take responsibility for them. The story informs her and us of this through the various things that get worse when she uses her power and her odyssey to fix them.

To in the end one final time gamble everything on the childish, desperate belief that using the power this one time and doing this one thing will magically fix everything is also superlatively counter-narrative.

>>182568554
>To in the end one final time gamble everything on the childish, desperate belief that using the power this one time and doing this one thing will magically fix everything is also superlatively counter-narrative.

Exactly. If dontnod had balls, sacrificing Chloe wouldnt have worked, and would have been a clear bad ending.

Max did nothing wrong and killed no one, Arcadia Bay was rebuilt, and just about everyone survived.
Don't give me that 'muh intentions and meaning of choice' crap.

>A court would find Max guilty
But that's entirely the opposite of being true. If they somehow brought her into a trial then the evidence of the vision before everything, the presence of the storm in multiple timelines, and even after Chloe had been killed would be exactly what shows she is not guilty
Demonstrating that the storm was independent of Max and could not reasonably been thought avoidable.

And if they had some kind of machine that could see the Bay Ending, then those who accused Max of committing crimes would themselves be guilty because they apparently had some kind device like from Minority Report but did nothing to help anyone even though they could see the future.

Take your witch hunt somewhere else because Max is innocent. Her only crime is loving someone and deciding not to kill that person on something she has seen with her own eyes would not work.

As nice as it would have been, there's no way for Max to convince every single person. At most, if the results really bad, she could go back and warn those she know would trust her and Chloe (Joyce, David, Warren, Kate, Frank, other Blackwell students) and those people could be convinced to warn people who would believe them. Or they could have put up posters with warnings but everyone would think they were crazy until they saw the signs themselves.
It's just a storm, and even in ones forecasted there are people who don't heed warnings.

How do you know if you're in love?

>>182587403
For as good as that scene could have been, it was still pretty powerful. Just Chloe saying in a surprised/existed/absolutely scared voice "You saw my dad again?" really hit me.
But then Max explains everything and Chloe doesn't lament about how unfair it is, how the universe must fucking despise her, or anything like that. Her words are concern for Max and making sure she's alright since she saw and did something she didn't want to. It's enough to snap Chloe out of her fury and murderous intent.

I probably will. Especially if they go into Chloe realizing what her feelings were for Max, but not being able to act on them because Max isn't there. They will probably be extremely bittersweet.
But you just have to keep in mind that no matter how sad we see Chloe, she does become happier.

The Butterfly Effect and the "butterfly flapping its wings and causing a storm" was also supposed to be a metaphor.

>>182611908
Max is gone for five years, Chloe meets Rachel about two years after Max left, they are friends until Rachel disappears six months before Max comes back. So Rachel and Chloe had around two and a half to three years together.
BtS is likely going to show the first few weeks of their friendship and whatever experiences brought them close together.
