Characters that saved the world by going back in time

samurai jack just ended. those other shows/movies didn't.

get a clue, gaywad.

>>92650591
What a shame, I thought because of the pic that this was going to be a thread about characters that got their male friends pregnant.

>>92650775
We know that it has nothing to do with that mate.

This is a common trope on fiction.

>>92650828
I love this meme, wont mind if we elaborate.

But they all wiped out all of their friends and people living in the future in the process!

What I don't get is that going back to the past to eliminate Aku is what Jack planned forever

So when he actually does it why does everyone flip their shit?

>>92650591
>KND
>Numbuh 4 can't even get credit from saving the entire planet through time travel
Being Wally is suffering.
Also, holy shit is that episode relevant

>>92650591
So which of those people completely erased all of their friends from existence?

When the fuck did Marty Mcfly save the world?

>>92651220
In the second movie where Biff became a tyrant.

>>92651242
That's stretching it a bit, no?
It'd been years since I saw the movie.
Wasn't he just a rich corporate guy? Or was he a politician or something.

>>92651316
Biff becoming rich turned Marty's town into a crime riddled shithole.

>>92651316
I don't recall it being very clear myself.

>>926509 Jack did wipe out his friends. Stop denying it.

>>92651399
>>92650906

>>92651199
Uhhh, everyone were changed, not entirely erased, that's why even future Numbuh 4 dissapeared?

Are you Anti-past fags that retarded?

>>92651043

For some of us it wasn't that he actually went back to the past, it was that it was executed poorly. Given another 20 minutes they probably could have made it work, but as it stands the pacing was just completely fucked.

>>92651370
>town
So, yeah, not the world.

>>92650591
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think the Godzilla animated series did this too.

>>92651043
A good chunk of Season 5 was about Jack accepting that he couldn't get back

Its in no way different from any of the characters on OP.

According to YOU, Numuh 4 should have let the world be taken over by girls, The Flash should never have undone Flashpoint, PPG should have let Him take over the world, Apocalipse should have killed the X-men and taken over the world and so on.

You're being a retard and saying that going back to the past is evil and time genocide even when you're fighting cartoon supervillains

"time genocide" is fucking retarded

>>92651514
Yet every episode started with "Gotta get back, back to the past"

>>92651514
What? It was about him GOING BACK to his journey, to get back to the past. The entire point of the season was him learning to not abandon things, to get new strenght to keep going.

>>92651564
Butterfly effect. For Jack it's not just a future it's a vastly distant future spanning thousands of years. The further you get the more of an effect doing things in the past will have on it.

>>92651661
Yeah but Aku enslaved like the entire planet

>>92651661
And? Are you aware that some of the time changes on OP happened decades or centuries ago too? Or were so fucking impactiful that even in few years it influence could have been felt on the entire world? Like Flashpoint?

One thing being older than the other doesnt make difference.

>>92651701
Yes and undoing such an event will vastly alter all the genealogies of the characters
>>92651735
So? That's still not how it works.
>One thing being older than the other doesnt make difference.
It does, because there's more variables that are in play down the timeline.

>>92651792
>It does, because there's more variables that are in play down the timeline.
And it matter why? Nobody is denying butterfly effect.

>>92651821
Then you won't deny that a single variable, like a mere character even existing, would in all likelihood change as well.

>>92651846
And?

>>92651846
Someone else will live instead, and they'll live in a world that isn't built on centuries of Aku's dickery.

Or the same people minus Ashi will be born in the undicked world because you can make up whatever rules you want since they weren't laid out.

>Why /co/ only care about Jack changing the timeline?
why do you have to be such a fag apoligist?
i thought this was a thread to discuss time shenanigans

>>92651846
So you are saying that every character mentioned in OP is a MURDERER and that they shouldn't have changed their timelines?

>>92650591
Most of these shows that you've listed deal with characters already established in an alternate timeline.
Samurai Jack only has Jack go to a distant future where he's essentially cut off from everything that he used to know in the past. All the characters that Jack encounter are not people from his own timeline except the shaolin master, but that's a rare exception and Jack didn't even know he was alive for that long

The characters in those timelines don't really matter to the audience because they only exist for part of an episode. In Samurai Jack the characters in the past are like that. The difference is that the viewers are more emotionally attached to the future characters in Samurai Jack and in those other shows people care about the past characters more.
