Time travel

>file name gives away the ending
Fuck you OP

I always liked the "you change history" idea where if a character goes back in time he just fulfills the events as they occurred anyway
I guess its a bit fatalistic and doesn't work for an ongoing series but as a single narrative it's fine

Multiverse.
Each new 'timeline' is just a different universe. Characters can either physically move to a different universe, resulting in two versions of themself, or they can effectively overwrite the consciousness of their alternate universe self with their own. The second option would mean that your body from your 'home' universe is just a shell, and that you've effectively killed the individual (you) inhabiting the body of the universe you just jumped into.

Any movie where a bad guy wears a mask and sends the hero back in time but then the audience realizes the Villain was actually the hero the entire time (he takes his mask off at the end)
Would be an epic twist

I wouldn't
time travel is dumb

i'de go back in time about 2000 years and use my fancy technology to convince people im a god
then fuck my hottest disciple women

i wouldnt. but if i did i would have the protagonist in an alpha timeline. it makes no sense for the protagonist to be anything but the first iteration in all of time to time travel because if they changed an event in the past then it would have already been an inevitable change and their character doing it would be uninteresting to be anything but the first iteration to make a change. for example if you are anything but the first iteration of the timeline then you going back in time and meeting yourself already happened.
>but you meeting yourself will change the future!
thats where time travel shouldnt actually change your whole life desu because if you arent the alpha timeline then the iteration before you would have already changed every single other iteration of you before you even reached the time travel point in your life. I want you to think about it as if the first iteration has the freedom to make a choice and all other iterations (even if the next protagonist in the timeline is just the protagonist but 1 second behind the alpha timeline) are bound to whatever choices the alpha makes and cannot stray from it otherwise they would not only be in a different timeline but operate in a different reality. the argument that you could change the future by going into the past and then return to the changed future makes no sense because you would have to be the first arbiter of change and therefore since you arent the person in the timeline you visited doing the new actions, no other iteration of you is bound to them. also the whole concept of bringing stuff from the future to the past is retarded and violates conservation of mass. it also makes no sense in a geographic sense since you cant line up 2 places on earth that you can travel to because of its combination of rotation, orbit, and the movement of the solar system. if you just went 20 seconds into the past in the same location you are now then the earth would have already moved too far away from you.

12 Monkeys is the only movie I can think of that did it right by avoiding the Terminator paradox. It knows that you can't change the past since that would change the present which is impossible. The timetraveller would already exist in the past since he was sent there. So it changes nothing.

There's a theory I can't remember the name of but it's basically that you can't go back in time past the point when time travel is actually invented. Like the apparatus that allows you to go back in time must be created and functioning in order for time travel to be viable. I think that would be a really cool concept to explore. Maybe like a time travel station/customs checkpoint that has scheduled arrivals and departures from and to the future.

i want to suckle and fondle some big milkers

>choke on your own umbilical cord

does the jacket count?

i wouldnt. consequences should matter.

I'd take a few kangz back to ancient Egypt.

Are there any genocides that you'd like to oversee? To make sure they actually happen this time?

>stepmom

fucking cowards.

I'd travel into the future and get equipped with the best gene mods/nanobots that will ever become available, then I'd visit other periods, comfortable in the knowledge that my modifications make me the superior human wherever I am.

Every movie has gotten it wrong because it’s physically impossible. Perhaps on a celestial scale it could be possible with something like a black hole. In this case Planet of the Apes would be one of the few movies to get it right.

Gross. I considered watching it for the porn parody version of 'that' scene but I knew they'd pussy out somehow, someway.

If you're not going to go all the way why even bother? Who the fuck gets off to the idea of stepcest? "Oh fuck, it's so hot how we're related by marriage! OH FUCK! I'M CUMMING!"

I've traveled through time before. It's not even hard/difficult.

Go back to 1991 and put 30 grand into Microsoft stock, then jump forward 10-15 years and buy a shitload of Amazon.com.

the only way which makes sense

I like the idea but the movie has only aged worse.

Most time travel scenarios, realistically, have insane amounts of negative or unintended ripple effect

Timecrimes did it right.

Yep

I would go back in time and start wh*Te genocide much earlier

This

Time travel to learn things is a much more interesting concept that should be more explored

Correct

Nice

You think this thread is for shitposting?

Speak for yourself I change the present all the time

I might choose to do a movie where a time machine just appears out of nowhere, including instructions on how to build a time machine, then eventually somebody uses the instructions to build a/the time machine and sends it to where it first appeared - just to show how stupid a closed loop actually is.

Nothing changes. One timeline, everything already happened as it did. The only impetus to time travel is thinking you can change something, only to wind up causing the events you didn't want in the first place.
