Time travel marvel and dc style!
Time and tide wait for none
Everyone is trying to catch up with time
You would think money is precious but as you grow older you will realise that time is the most precious thing ever!
After all the philosophy let’s get little light!
Now the discussion is related to time travel only in movies and not in comics which is a huge topic!
It all started when in one of the original Superman movies starring Chris, Louis lane dies and Superman gets so distraught that he rotates in the opposite direction of Earth’s rotation and does it so fast that earth also rotates backwards literally turning the clock back and saving Lane!
Then you have so the justice league animation where one of the supervillain goes back in time and starts changing things!
At one point he even makes the batman disappear! Batman and Green Lantern learn a lot about their future when they go into the future but as decided they keep it to themselves so that it will not hamper the timeline in any way!
So one thing is clear that if you change the time or past then it will affect or impact your future!
Another DC movie was the flashpoint paradox which was a time reversal, a theme common in flash stories since he can move so fast he can stop time and also reverse it! In the movie, it is Bruce’s father Thomas Wayne who is a Batman like vigilante!
This is further elaborated in the dc series called the flash and here the flash mentions how going back in time changes things! So therefore it implies that if you change certain vital events in the past then you alter the future!
Also you tend to create an alternate timeline which may change the future as the flash finds out much to his dismay!
In flash going back and forth he also creates time remnants which are flash left in a particular time period! Getting confusing? That’s the idea!
Finally the centre piece is the time travel described in the AVENGERS END GAME! and in Avengers animated series! In the animation version, Cap America is able to change one thing and that was making Sure Bucky doesn’t die and we all know how that ended up! (The winter Soldier catastrophe!)
So in the movie, as Dr Bruce Explains, if you go back to past then it actually becomes your future and the present becomes your past! So it’s important that you don’t change anything major! You don’t try to contact your past selves so that they cannot change their future or create an alternate timeline! Phew!
Add to it you have Tony Stark explaining how instead of you passing through time, time passes through you as shown in the movie with ant man becoming old and young!
Finally when they do go Back in time and get the infinity stones, it is imperative that they return the important stones back to the time so that the timeline remain intact!
Captain America though does go back in time and as advised by Iron Man in Avengers Ultron movie, gets a full life and grows old and content!
So that’s a short synopsis of time travel marvel and Dc style!
Of course actual time travel may need quantum mechanics and what not! For now it’s only a dream!
Understand then that not everyone can be Captain America and get a second chance at making amends!
So treat time with the respect it deserves and hopefully one day time will be yours!
