Don’t get me started on the Arrowverse’s recent obsession with time travel, and how many holes Legends of Tomorrow alone has blown in the world as a result. And sometimes they do, which is even worse, and the kind of thing that creates an infinite number of plot holes in the story/universe. I could do this with an infinite number of time travel movies and shows, but so many get this idea wrong, where the entire plot is based around trying to change the past. The fact that Connor exists in any of these movies is only proof that they fail. They never stop and think about the logic that if the apocalypse was avoided, Kyle Reese would have never been sent back in time to become John Connor’s father. They never do, of course, and all they manage to do is push the date back (they shouldn’t really even be able to do that). The most prominent example of this is the Terminator movies, where Sarah or John Connor is always trying to prevent the robo-apocalypse from happening. So they go forward in time, to a place after Jack had gone back, and use the countermeasure there, which does in fact, fix the fracture.įar too often, time travel stories get hooked on this idea of changing the past. But the future? That’s what can be changed. His brother responds by telling him that there’s nothing they can do in that time period. Near the end of the game, Jack goes back in time, gets the countermeasure and asks his brother to fix the fracture. Jack is only able to go back in time, because a series events that allowed him to get to the exact spot where he goes back in time. There is no changing the past, not at all. And yet, what he discovers as he tries to do this, or as other people (Beth Wilder) are flung back in time.
