According to Einstein every relative motion is time travel. Due to everything is moving everything is time traveling. There is "nearly no" effect for us exept the difference of time between moving objects like planes, satelites, spacecraft... and here on Earth. ;)
0:45 "half divine and half human" except Jesus isn't half divine and half human. He's fully divine and fully human. He's literally the manifestation of God in human form. He's all of God's divinity in a completely human form.
Lotta merit in this. However I'm pretty sure The Late Philip J Fry is simpler than that. The universe/timeline in which Leela inherited Planet Express linearly preceded the next one, which linearly preceded the one that Fry, Bender, and the Professor landed in. The Big Bounce theory, except the universe bounces back identical to how it did before (except a few feet displaced). The string of universes extends infinitely backwards and forwards in time, in blocks of four - Universe A's Fry and co leave universe A and occupy universe C, universe B's Fry and co leave universe B and occupy universe D. Also I think the coffee thing was just the caffeine getting 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 with Fry.
Seems like every time traveler fucks up the universe enough for it to correct itself l, and Fry gets a free Hall pass. And the times when something needs correcting, Fry indirectly or directly corrects it himself before the Universe goes nuts
I just realized that the fact they were 10 feet above their normal universe was only to be a paradox fixer for their universe, just like every other fixed paradox through the show 😂
When Leila is running planet express, my opinion is that is an entirely different universe with similar characteristics. It's linear in time, they are like cells being born, similar but each is unique
The time machine is moving through space and time or it would not be sitting at the same spot on earth when they activate it because Earth does move and they will end out there somewhere until the exact moment they were sitting at the planet express office.
Let’s just put it this way: there’s a reason I was a big fan of the show back when I was a stanch creationist, and still am just as much of a fan now that I’m an atheist, and I know for a fact I’m not the only one. The show has episodes and talking points that any side can like and identify with.
I got problem with a statement that you made. We don’t know if God knocked up Mary by accident and realized he had to correct that by giving himself/son a mission to death to fix his fuck up.
"Zeus is just a big dude who lives on a mountain." No, for your future reference, you are not remembering that correctly lmao. You're half right though. Greek Gods existed both physically and metaphysically within their realms of influence. For example, you could be invited to Mount Olympus and meet Zeus in person and shake his hand but at that exact same moment Zeus would be occupying his domain, the Sky, on a spiritual level beyond human comprehension. Be not a petty mortal trying to comprehend the divine.
My interpretation would be that time travel, and passing the forwards-time barrier are two different things.. Fry being his own grandfather could only happen because he did cross the forward-time barrier, doing that doesn't usually happen in normal time travel. Different rules apply because in future-barrier crossing time travel essentially is another universe, just one that looks eerily like the previous one.
Everyone likes to talk about how great the continuity in Futurama is, but the continuity is actually terrible. They are constantly breaking rules and lore that they previously set up. So much so that I think it's maybe intentional sometimes, or an ongoing joke. The only reason people think it has good continuity is because they like to call back jokes sometimes, which makes it look like it has good continuity. But this is all to say that it's okay if they break their own time-travelling rules because they are constantly breaking their own rules in the show. It's a cartoon. It's not meant to be taken that seriously.
Fry is the chosen one of the universe. It's make perfect sense because a person with normal brain would fucked up things due to overthinking (Anakin). An idiot is absolutely the best tool because he do not care of what is happening to him. Sometime the stupidity might show more than needed but for the sake of the universe it's no problem.
Bttf is one of the best movies of all time, but that scene with marvin should be deleted. I would say it is even worse because it manages to strip the credit from Chuck, but not give it to anyone. Talk about dehumanizing.
Everyone, literally EVERYONE, says Fry is his own grandfather. But no one ever talks about how that means that his father is his son (his son is his father)... Isn't that a more interesting discussion, than being your own grandfather?
15:05 the Time Machine would actually be moving bc earth is moving really fast and the solar system and such is moving so that Time Machine would have to disappear on first use for that to hold
