Time Travel: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''Time travel is theoretically impossible, but I wouldn't want to give it up as a plot gimmick.''|'''[[Isaac Asimov]]'''}}

 

 

A time travel story can simply use time travel as a vehicle to get the hero to the [[Adventure Towns]], or the [[Phlebotinum]] involved can be a key plot driver. No matter what story type the hero is going to need a [[Time Machine]] or [[Time Master]] to get around. Time Travel stories seem to fall into several categories:

* [[The Powerpuff Girls]] episode "Speed Demon" has the girls racing for home so fast they go fifty years into the future and see that the world has been subjugated by their arch-foe Him because they weren't around to stop him as they went through time.

* In the Al Brodax [[Popeye]] cartoons, Professor O.G. Wottashnozzle uses Popeye as a guinea pig for his time machine, which posits him and the others as historical figures.
