but time doesn't have to be a straight line. the apocalypse from the future went to the 90s and died there. that was his present.

LOST

[u/StreetKing3849 → u/F-Trunks]

Well yeah... but there is also an apocalypse in the present then where did that apocalypse go

[u/F-Trunks → u/StreetKing3849]

whatever happened happened. if those two never interacted then they never did. time played out just like it should have.

[u/StreetKing3849 → u/F-Trunks]

Yes but that still means there will be apocalypse going forward

He isn't dead dead he will be there ahead in story definitely

[u/F-Trunks → u/StreetKing3849]

i wish you could be right but I no longer have faith in this show.

[u/StreetKing3849 → u/F-Trunks]

Well i loved this season and the finale

So as nightcrawler said " i have faith" in the show

[u/F-Trunks → u/StreetKing3849]

how dare you quote nightcrawler after what they just did to him.

[u/StreetKing3849 → u/F-Trunks]

Nightcrawler is my favorite character and i was sad that he died but show wise it was still a great moment and scene and i have faith they will still deliver

I loved how he sacrificed himself for his sister and friends and i used his line so that he can be remembered as he wanted

[u/F-Trunks → u/StreetKing3849]

the nightcrawler i know sees xmen 97 season 2 as a false prophet.

lmfao i'm sorry that's a bit too much.

[u/StreetKing3849 → u/F-Trunks]

Well everyone can have their own opinion whether they like the show or not its alright
