DOO EET!
That also means being stuck in the loop with Twilight.
No. They didn’t jump to the same point everytime. It’s up to the caster to what point in time they want to land.
Starlight did follow Twilight into the past every time Twilight jumped back in time. But Starlight almost always lands to a point in time before Twilight’s arrival. Remember that this is Starlight’s spell, so she programs it to always work in her favor.
Anytime Twilight triggers a portal to the past, another portal also opens up on Starlight’s side that brings them both to the same timeline, but Starlight lands sooner, so she could set up an ambush.
Starlight’s plan was to stick Twilight in the loop forever so she did not get to win on her turn because it would never be her turn.
Doesnt really make much sense since all the sabotages of the race/rainboom were at different points and not the same time, some seemed to be at later some at sooner times. Since if she sabotaged the race at the start (i think i remember her doing it) if it was all the same timeline then thats it as there would be no real need for later intervention?
So she would have had to follow Twilight into the past each time she jumped into one (hence why i thought she also followed her to the new “present”).
Id have to rewatch the episode though since been ages.
I don’t know how Starlight programmed the spell, but I’m guessing it works like this: The spell only does TWO things, namely bring BOTH Twilight and Starlight moments before the Rainboom happened, and bring ONLY Twilight back to the present.
In real time, in Starlight’s perspective it would look like this: Starlight cancels Rainboom, sees Twilight get sucked into the “present”, wait around a couple of minutes, and then a portal opens and transports her to some minutes before the Rainboom, waits around some more, sees Twilight jump out of a portal and resumes their fight.
In Twilight’s persepective…well…the episode was shown on her perspective so nothing needs to be said.
My guess is that Starlight was either willing to be stuck in the past forever, or play the looping game until one of them gets exhausted and collapse.
Your actually right, i misremembered Glimmer being aware of all the “presents” since she would by logic have to be dragged to the same “present” as Twilight, since its the “current” one she created.
For some reason she was just stuck in the past i guess. So wouldnt be aware of any but the last one where Twilight dragged her along with herself.
Believe in something, even it means sacrifice everything. (Cozy Glow)
Being shown what she was doing was a seed of doubt that contributed to her being able to be talked down from there. Point stands: she had no idea what she was doing to Equestria as a whole.
The #1 rule of running a cult is isolation.
Edited
…Starlight was only shown what happened ONCE. In her perspective, for all she knew Twilight could have been lying about all other versions of the future, because they sounded ridiculous. She did knowingly ignore Twilight’s warnings but it’s not the same thing as actually knowing what happened.
If someone told me to give away my house that I spent 15 yrs paying mortgage, because in the future it plays a part in breeding homegrown terrorist group, I’d tell you to get the hell out.
And your analogy is also flawed, the person keept giving/selling a winning lottery ticket to the bad guy despite knowing that after the first time that bad thing happened because he gave a winning ticket to to that patricular guy. (Here obviously the “bad person getting the lottery ticket” is the act of going back in time again and again to mess it up)
And in the end hes the bad guy who was just pretending to not “know” what was going on, he just decided to ignore it for some reason, a grudge against someone in power probably, until it went too far and the world is doomed and he realized he actually messed up.
The CIA doesnt come since the wrold is gone i guess? xD
Although Glimmer is both the guy selling the lottery ticket and the guy doing evil in some ways i think.
…that’s a wrong assumption.
Here’s an analogy: imagine you sold someone your lottery ticket for a quick cash. Later, that someone won big, really big. And then he used that prize money to start a gun running business. Ten years later he is involved and responsible for millions of death and multiple bloody armed conflicts around the world.
And then CIA comes knocking on your door and hold YOU responsible for all the deaths caused by that guy, merely because you unwittingly helped him start his evil career, by selling him a winning lottery.
Depending on how you see it, every timeline was obviously its own since they had different end of the world type disasters happen at differnt times. So she did indeed kill of everyone in one of the many many universes she created by messing with time.
So she didnt just kill all creatures in one universe, but no idea how many in several more.
Oh, that’s right. She can’t. Because, for starters, she didn’t do it knowingly and with the express purpose of killing everyone. And, you know, time travel invalidated that particular event when the event that caused it was erased from existence.
Weak, weak shitpost OP.
