Current Events > Do you agree or disagree with this time travel trope?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's kinda rare but it shows up enough that I think it counts as a "trope", and it bugs me whenever it pops up.

"Yeah, sure, time was re-written and now (person/people) don't exist anymore, or don't remember you, or are completely different people now, BUT, the fact that it happened at all is what matters! Those memories means that those relationships were real!"

like...no. I can't vibe with this at all lol. I'm thinking specifically of (video game spoiler) Life is Strange with this, where the re-written timeline would have meant a certain character died alone and miserable, but it also popped up in (manga spoilers) JoJos Bizarre Adventure, though was slightly less egregious there due to how time travel worked in that one.

idk tho maybe I'm weird

I mean they were real, but it's ultra depressing because they will never be real in the new reality so it only serves to make you sad.

I won't forget you TC. I mean the plot demands everyone's memories be rewritten and there's no basis for me saying this but I'll def always remember the bond we've made these past 30 minutes!

I haven't played LiS, but I'm rarely 100% satisfied with time travel plots. There's always something that doesn't make sense IMO.
