Like destroyed at the start of the story or destroyed as part of the climax? Two very different stories there.

>>88954174
only thing that comes to mind is /v/ with Saints Row 4, the earth is blown up, only 10-20 people survived because the aliens had abducted them, there IS time travel, but it seems to be fixed, they can go fuck around with people, but its always been like that. so no chance of the earth coming back. however there is a matrix style full simulation of earth (or at least one city of earth).

>>88954238
Either way.

But it must be irrecoverable

All I can think of is a 'humanity fuck yeah' copypasta where some aliens believe we're too dangerous and wild so they launch a lightspeed cannon shot at Earth. Through later observation they watch humanity actually drag itself into a state of actual goodness and harmony, but can't stop the bullet nor even warn humans about it before it's too late. Earth gets pulverized and human colonies in the solar system pour their entire society into revenge mode.

It's got timey-wimey bullshit, but that doesn't save the planet.
Fun fact, the issue where Earth is destroyed was published september 12, 2001 or something close. The author was sure every critic was gonna rip him a new one.

Unce Upon A Time... Man fantastic series btw, I recommend it to anyone, especially if you have kids has the Earth exploding when the sun goes nova in the last seconds of the opening; just before that the last rocket ship took off while incinerating an angry mod of people left behind.
Because nothing says educational cartoon for children better than complete obliteration.

With each passing day my connection to the eternal void grows stronger and stronger.

THAT and I also want to get some inspiration for my story.

The first part is about how superpowers become uncontrollable, literally everyone having one and tearing the Earth apart. The second part would be about the MCs travelling through space to find a similar planet. The third would be about eventually finding one and trying to settle in on a planet that is just ever so slightly different.

A lot of this would involve looking up stuff about theoretical physics and shit and since I don't want to do that, I figured I'd just read up on fiction that has explored this stuff before.

Because in most fiction they always make it a priority to save Earth.

Even if the villain actually succeeds in obliterating it, they always find a way to undo the devastation somehow.

Like this fucking piece of dirt floating in nothingness is so special. Like humanity is a big fucking deal. Big enough deal to kill space and time altering gods over it and shit.

The universe is WAY too big for that. There HAS to be another planet similar to ours. There is just no way there isn't.

And we screwed this one up pretty bad. A lot of damage is irrecoverable or it will only go away by the time our Sun becomes a Supernova.

So I say fuck it! Let's just reset already! So we can try again. And hope we do a better job next time.

Yeah, life will just die out in 1 billion years due to the Sun getting hotter and hotter until Earth's oceans evaporate. 5 billion years from now the Sun will become so hot and big that it will engulf most of the inner solar system. After that it will eventually collapse, blow off 40% of its mass, and the remaining 60% will become a super hot ball of carbon called a white dwarf.

Science is cool.

Because there isn't anything else. If you suppose anything else then you are doing so just to fit your misanthropy. It's circular.

Until we know of anything else we SHOULD hold ourselves up high. We are the only know balls of molecules in the universe than can spread life beyond Earth and we can't assume otherwise until we have proof.

TERRIFYING RENEGADE

>>88954174
In Asimov's Foundation series, I'm pretty sure the earth getting completely obliterated is a major plot point later on.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is based on that premise almost entirely (Read HGttG and Restaurant at the End of the Universe, the rest are crap).

Interstellar is an alright movie based on the Earth becoming utterly unable to support life, while the main characters look for alternatives. Cabin in the Woods is also relevant to your interests.

Cowboy Bebop features an Earth that's a glorified dump, a useless, dead relic compared to the rest of civilisation, but it doesn't get atomized. B.R.P.D: Hell on Earth is about a Lovecraftian Apocalypse. The Earth isn't atomised, but you should watch/read them. They are great and Earth is definitely irrecoverable.

>don't lose time etablishing some place on earth as your setting just to destroy it a few pages later

In my story it would obviously take some time until Earth goes to shit.

Actually what I imagined was that each planet with sentient beings has an assigned Guardian. Kinda like the green lanterns... somewhat. They are made of pure energy and are formless. All the superpowers and every other information related to the planet is stored in these guardians. They are also linked to the planet itself, it's basically like a power cell. If Earth is dying it weakens the Guardian. Which opens a window of possible cosmic murder. A rogue Guardian would be the big bad, who after seeing the universe reset itself countless times, remembering everything and seeing how absolutely NOTHING changes, decides to throw a spanner in the system and murder every other Guardian.

Basically the MCs have to flee, because this rogue Guardian is far too powerful, and must gain all the information related to their own powers through journey they take. Eventually becoming Guardians themselves.

How so? We've created an environment for ourselves where we are the top predator by a large amount. If you're concerned about animals and plants, I say who cares? We are the only sentient species on this planet, we can decide what happens to it, and if it doesn't exist to serve us than who does it serve?

>So I say fuck it! Let's just reset already! So we can try again. And hope we do a better job next time.
What really makes you think that if we were wiped out the next species to take our place wouldn't fall into the same traps? Our worst traits are reflected in the most basic of animal life. The cycle will continue until someone creates a form of sentient machine that is unhindered by animal urges and even then we cant be sure.

There's a Ray Bradbury short story about an Earth that was nuked to annihilation. It's famous for having no characters.
It's called "There Will Come Soft Rains" and it's available online:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzbtlcAsIeTnTlNmSnhOV010bHM/edit?pli=1

"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" is also about the death of the Earth and humanity although one person survives at the end in a fate worse than death:

I wouldn't be able to know. And neither anyone else, obviously. All I can tell you is that from what I can see CURRENTLY, this cycle fuckin sucks.

Don't be too impressed by those accomplishments, the biosystem of Earth is far more stable and robust than you give it credit for and mass extinctions are an evolutionary feature, not a bug. You're mad for all the wrong reasons. Humanity isn't separate from nature, humanity and civilization are part of nature, the flower of it. The great trend of the universe, of nature, is the production of entropy, accelerating production of entropy through complex orderly systems that feed on energy sources. It started with stars, continued with self propagating amino acids, ramped up with life, and once life becomes intelligent it's going to blow everything else out with it's unsurpassed ability to tap into energy sources and produce entropy. Higher levels of complex order, to reach and access more inaccessible sources of energy, for natures ultimate purpose, production of entropy.

I'd love for a series where the Earth is legit doomed. Like the Earth's orbit starts deteriorating towards the sun or the Earth's core/mantle turning unstable somehow. Then basically the best the heroes can do is just delay the inevitable and that's just through sacrificing themselves to buy the planet more time.

It can have the whole soap opera of the lesser heroes trying to calm the masses with villains turning into heroes and some heroes snapping under the pressure and going postal. Not to mention the human interaction with family and friends faced with inevitable death.

Final issue is just the very last living human on the planet taking in the surroundings of a desolate world before finally succumbing and the emptiness of the Earth before the end.

The prevailing image image of the Earth exploding as the sun's atmosphere reaches the planet is probably wrong. At the moment the calculations and touch and go as to whether we will be subsumed but if we are the Earth will likely just melt into the sun's atmosphere, like a marshmallow on hot chocolate. No theatrics, just...meh.
In the final phase it's also likely that the Jovian moons will be the best bet to support life as they will be roughly in the new habitable zone, and since this will last about a billion years before it starts to contract again there should be a good chance at creating colonies.

The setting for the Eclipse Phase RPG is basically this. All the computers and manufacturing on Earth were taken over by some alien space virus, and so produced nanobat death swarms and involved nuclear war which wiped out anything living on the planet. Now life is spread around the Solar System, from people basically working off a lifetime debt on Mars to the post-capitalism of the outer planets to the rigid capitalistic society on the Jovian moons.

There are still people trying to save it/revisit it, but it's mostly a hopeless task. Pretty much everyone is busy living their own lives. There is some intergalactic travel but it involves fancy alien-tech moongates simply because the setting is "realistic" enough not to have lightspeed travel, and so there is no inter-system travel. Hell, it can take months to travel from Neptune to Venus.

That's not a complaint I have about Sillage. The story did hit a low point IMO in the early 10s due to several factors (shitting out books like there's no tomorrow, resulting in weaker stories and lazy art; weaving all the spin-offs into the main canon, and a bit of SJW influence).
But the last issue was very good, and the strong points of the series, like the compelling characters, subtle morals and overarching story, are still here.
I still haven't forgiven them about the snivel relooking, though.

>for natures ultimate purpose, production of entropy

So... essentially the meaning of life is to produce more chaos among the various energies in the universe? And death is just a natural part of this process. Then nuking the crap out of absolutely everything won't really matter, the universe will automatically dissolve any energy spike we may produce as it does with everything else.

So then why should we do it? Because we are humans, the only species we know of the can intentionally kill itself. Since our fate ultimately doesn't matter, literally either way will be resolved in the same way, we might as well do it. 'Cos fuck all o' this.

What I meant by that is that they live purely on instinct. We don't. As far as human standards go plants and animals are literally only worth what use we can get out of them.

I do siphon enjoyment out of things though. I have 4 very close friends whom I cherish more than my own life and they treat me like I was part of their family. Just one moment spent with them makes up for a thousand bad experiences I had. Even if we don't do anything in particular. Just being together is enough to calm me down and forget about the void and shit.

That still doesn't change the fact that life is ultimately a pointless struggle with no higher meaning or end whatsoever though. But you can always look away from it, just for a moment.

There's no way of knowing, provided there are other civilizations out there, that they are either incredibly advanced or incredibly backward compared to us. Either one could possible be true, to assume one over the other usually indicates some kind of bias in the individual making the assumption. Usually people making the first assumption want to seem above humanity in some way, or be seen as some apocalyptic prophet bringing revelatory news of how shitty we are, etc. The recongition of this bias and the frustration towards it is what leads to being called edgy

What? Of course we do. Pretty much everything is a side effect of our inborn desire to propagate, understand, and survive. Tools help those instincts to mingle in novel ways, e.g. human culture, but it doesn't elevate those desires above the natural world.

I didn't like this Ford; they tried to make him look too goofy and spritely, even if the novel did mention something about the skin of his face being a little tight. Ford is supposed to look perfectly normal; It's his mannerisms that make him feel vaguely alien and off-putting. Mos Def was a good Ford.

OP, there is a small 3D cg cartoon i used to watch on ABC australia with this premise. The earth was shattered after a psychic event. And water is a valuable resource, people also began getting paychic powers called "seijin" powers that are kind of like solarpower.

Its called "Skyland"

There was a really creepy (for me) episode about an abandoned water mining colony where a water mining robot realised that the rock contained less water than the humans around it, so it massacred them all.
