The Time Traveller's Dilemma: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* Subverted in ''[[Stargate SG-1|Stargate]]: [[The Movie|Continuum]]'' when the government in the new timeline refuse to help the team try to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]].

** And played relatively straight anyway once everything starts going to pot (Baal dies, snakeheads attack, Earth in deep trouble). Apparently, ''Earth'' humans (as opposed to "alien" humans) living as slaves under the Goa'uld is not to be thought of - and we'd be better off never existing in the first place.

** To be fair, the team from the original timeline always wanted to fix everything, they just never had a chance before then.

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* Averted in the ''[[Justice League]]'' episode "The Savage Time", where Alternate Batman doesn't like living in an authoritarian regime after the Allies lost [[World War Two]].

'''Alternate Batman''': ''Nothing would make me happier.'' }}

** Also, when Alternate Batman mentions his parents were killed for opposing the government, he later seems hopeful that they'll have survived if the Justice League changes the past. Superman mentions very tactfully that this may not be the case([[Death by Origin Story|They don't]]).
