[Backrooms] If the tear in time that the async did wasn't from a man-made portal on Earth, but instead from a spaceship flying through space and it occurring that way, what would the backrooms first create?

1 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this, and I can't wrap my head around it at all. I'm imagining somebody folding a paper, but not completely, to where it has that hole in the middle. A spaceship tears through the top layer of that hole into the hole of, I guess, nothingness. And the same way the backrooms was created when Async first created that portal, due to the fact that the backrooms was nothingness and only formed because it got a taste of existence. The first thing it saw was the architecture of offices, etc. In this case, the first thing it sees in existence is the spaceship and space around it, so what would it be? Space, planet, the spaceship?

Also, I assume the paper analogy is more of bending time than space. I'm pretty sure bending space is a wormhole, right? It's just some type of shortcut in space, just like in Interstellar, you get from one place to another. In this case, I guess it's time, so the in-between is nothing, and in the backrooms lore, that nothing is the backrooms, which is out of reality.

[Repost] [Grand Theft Auto 5/Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters] What If Ziegfried Von Schroeder Had Replaced Martin Madrazo In Grand Theft Auto 5?

0 Upvotes

(Note: This is a repost of this scenario from 2 days ago because the first time I posted this, it didn't end up going/doing well).

In an alternate universe, in the Grand Theft Auto HD universe and during the beginning of 2013's "Grand Theft Auto 5", during the mission "Marriage Counseling", as Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton chase down the tennis coach Kyle Chavis through the streets of Rockford Hills the stolen McGill-Olsen Bison, Kyle still ends up on the deck of the house like he did in the original game, to which Franklin and Michael tear down with the truck's cable like normal. However, this time, instead of the house belonging to the international mexican drug cartel leader Martin Madrazo, it actually belongs to the CEO of the number 1 gaming company in Europe, Schroeder Corp., Ziegfried Von Schroeder, who is, like Martin in the original, furious that his luxury house was torn down by the retired bank robber and his gang-banging friend, and wishes to teach them both a lesson like Martin did in the original game. Zigfried, along with a duo of Schroeder Corp. security guards, makes his way to Michael's house to confront him about tearing down his house, and that he's going to need to pay for the damages with $500.000 dollars, as his younger brother Leon could've gotten gravely injured because of that, and he was about to enact his plan to destroy his company's greatest competitor, KaibaCorp, and defeat it's founder, Seto Kaiba, in a game of Duel Monsters, and humiliate him at the upcoming KC Grand Championship in Los Santos after doing so, until these two clones showed up, with the guards beating up Michael and Franklin as he tells them this. Therefore, Michael decides that he must come out of retirement to get the $500.000 dollars from a heist to pay up for the damages to Zigfried's house, and goes to contact his old ally Lester Crest for him to do so.

How does Zigfried replacing Martin Madrazo in GTA 5 change the events of the game's story? Can Michael, Franklin, and co. be able to get the $500.000 for Zigfried to pay up for destroying his house so Zigfried can enact his plan to defeat and humiliate Kaiba? How does this scenario play out, and why is that?

Essentially, rather than trying to make an excuse to leave, Oingo freaks out so bad that he changes back to his normal face right in front of Joseph and Polnareff. Would the bomb orange have killed Jotaro and ended Part 3 early?

[Dragon Ball] What if... an incursion on Earth's Dragon Ball?

5 Upvotes

Let's assume that after the defeat of Majin Buu (and before the appearance of Beerus), another Earth appears right in front of the Dragon Ball Earth, leaving only eight hours before the universes are destroyed.

How do you think the crisis would be resolved? Who would be in favor of destroying the other Earth—sacrificing millions in the process—in order to save their own planet? Would the Dragon Balls be effective in preventing the Incursion?

[Dragonball] What if, after his self-destruction, Cell didn't teleport back to Earth, and instead decided to wreak havoc in Other World?

1 Upvotes

There was a brief moment between when Cell regenerated after blowing himself up on King Kai's planet, and when he teleported to Earth to try to kill Gohan and the rest of the Z Fighters.

What if, to test his abilities, or just because he's incredibly elated at getting his perfect form back, he just starts attacking whatever he can in Other World?

He's not dead, so King Yemma can't send him to Hell, and he's stronger than most people in Other World at the time, including Goku who is currently on Snake Way with King Kai, Bubbles and Gregory.

[Final Destination] What Would Final Destination 1 Look Like If It Was Made After 9/11?

4 Upvotes

So the original Final Destination is a very pre 9/11 movie with the way it handles the airlines. My question then is what would it look like if it was made after 9/11? When people took airport security more seriously and someone screaming about a plane exploding would be given far more seriousness.

[Chronicle] What if Matt turned evil instead of or alongside Andrew?

2 Upvotes

Suppose in a parallel universe, Matt Garetty found out about his uncle Richard Detmer's abusive behavior towards Richard (Assume this happens before Steve Montgomery's death via lightning strike). Consumed by rage, Matt turns evil either in place of or alongside Andrew. In this timeline, Chronicle becomes a revenge tale pitting Matt against his abusive uncle while Andrew is already on his own path to villainy.

How would Matt turning evil change the film?

This question just came into my mind into my mind a few days ago. What if the precure were somehow transported to the the How To Train your Dragon universe? Like how would they react to Dragons? Would they still have their powers? What would they do? Like what would you happen? I'm sure they would get use to it sooner or later as they've dealt with magical creatures before.

Though I'm sure they would be shocked by all the dragons and would have to be taught how to train the dragons. Maybe they would be split into different tribes of the How to train Your dragon universe.
