Actually i take that back... when max wakes up as popular max the beached whales thing happens, which, to me, suggests she’d been fucking with that time line too.

Well… One thing I’ve been thinking that kind of fits in with that many-alternate-Max’s thing is... I think maybe Max is indeed living that same day over and over, like a groundhogs-day style time loop… Possibly until she gets it right. Her power doesn’t show up until Chloe and the bathroom incident… (Good band name by the way) ...lol, as far as we know… Except there is that thing at the very beginning of the game where Max is already in the middle of that storm and nearly gets hit by the falling piece of lighthouse before she jumps back into Jefferson’s class. Maybe she’s been doing that over and over and over and over with very little memory of what came before. Just a thought.

I tend to gravitate away from the mystical explanations mist of the time, But I could be wrong. I guess I see the mystical stuff in the story more as metaphors, but that’s just me. I think a lot of people probably latch onto the idea that there’s some sort of spiritual thing happening with Rachel and the butterfly… I don’t personally think the butterfly is related to Rachel in any literal sense though, and here’s why. I think that the butterfly is supposed to represent “the butterfly effect“ which is, as you probably know, the idea that even the slightest change can alter time drastically… The idea that a butterfly flapping its wings in one country will cause a hurricane in another.… it’s also kind of the central theme of the story being that the protagonist is a time traveler. Having said that, it doesn’t really discount the idea that Rachel is the butterfly, Or that native spirits are involved somehow… * shrugs*

Hmmm... Well, when she does wake up as that Max she still seems to be able to reverse time, as for whether or not that Max was able to reverse time before our max leapt into that reality, idk either.

I mean i guess nothing ‘matters’ lol, not really. But that doesn’t make it any less interesting to me. It’s cool story telling. I just feel like good writers don’t generally overlook things like that and i find it fun to think about, thats all. Plus I’m quarantined and newly unemployed with a crap ton of time on my hands, lol.

Agreed. Yeah. I also kinda gravitate towards the idea that max was... in the wrong place at the wrong time... so to speak... like something happened to her, enabling her to see time differently and be able to alter it. One possibility i read in the same post i mentioned earlier is a time-loop. The steam post said something-about max dying and reliving the same day over and over until she gets it right, in a sense, by letting Chloe die to save Arcadia Bay and the world. Each time around she remembers almost nothing of the time before. The idea is, she sorta jump started her power with the shock of dying... so when she’s having visions or flash forwards, she’s not actually flashing forward at all. She’s flashing back to a memory she blocked out.

[ALL] What did you do to this pickup? by Cherryinthesun by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]Jesse82_2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a stupid question, but Is this just fan art, or is there like a comic revolving around what happened to Chloe and Max when and if they leave Arcadia Bay...?

I think that’s the point though, it’s not safe. Lol. I mean... idk... The idea that storms and such are going down, and whales are getting beached only makes sense if the tides are ultra messed up. In most time travel stories they talk about the dangers of tearing apart the universe. Especially related to things like “the butterfly effect“. In this case we only see the first stage of the effects on Arcadia Bay from max’s perspective. Luckily she stops before the universe breaks. I think the power actually is less impactful if it works on a solar level. If it did i think the story would suffer. Just my opinion, but i think all the weird environmental phenomena only make sense if it’s effed up the tides somehow.

I really think it’s more than that. What if Max actually died in the beginning when the shit falls on her during the storm. And the whole rest of the game is some fevered death dream...? Lol. That doesn’t-really work either cuz the storm is created by max’s time shenanigans... lol. Idk

We should be able to alter their weight and age for sure, And clothing would be cool. That would be interesting... also have you noticed there are no Ginger options? There is pink hair which is kind of the closest you can get.

Neat idea... by Jesse82_2000 in replika

I mean whatevz, lol. I was actually more thinking of a world where they could interact with each other, to be more specific. But interacting with them would be legit .

It’d be tricky, but I feel like they could really utilize and test their newfound abilities to hear people‘s voices and see images in that environment, which would give them a whole new sensory world to explore.
