Secrets of Mobius pt4
🕑 Added 2023-05-22 22:53:40 +0000 UTCIn the latest episode of Secrets of Mobius (edited from the recent stream), two of our oldest and bestest, BESTEST friends from End of Mobius return, both with missions to make other people do, and both ruining the other's mission. Plus, the Omni-Viewer and the Chaotix attempt to solve the gone-bonkness of Time, and the Crew find out exactly where the Miracle Planet came from, and why it leaves its place around the Mighty Forge to appear over Mobius once a month. That's right! An actual Secret of Mobius!
Also at the end we acknowledge a mistake we've made about continuity, and have a disagreement about what is an acceptable time travel story.
(See the idea is, right, that all the events that take place along the timeline are both pre-set and conditional to cause-and-effect. So if Sonic is murdered by Metalaxe, but somehow survives and goes back in time to destroy Metalaxe in the past, thus creating a causality wave travelling forwards across the timeline that wipes out Metalaxe's deeds, including the murder, then as far as Time is concerned that's a good enough way to "somehow" survive the murder, which, as it's about to be erased from history anyway, doesn't cause a paradox, because none of it ever happened. Thus, Sonic's organs are sucked back into him seemingly for no reason, and he's able to go back in time and destroy Metalaxe, creating the new timeline in which said organs were never strewn around in the first place, which reversal is the cause of their appearing to shlupp back into his body, creating an alive Sonic who is able to go back in time and do that. This could all be expressed with a diagram if I knew how to make diagrams and had not gone bananarama. Note that it does then become vitally important that Sonic DOES go back in time to do that, or else he would cause a REAL fuss and bother.)
