you can't go on implying some purpose without the author having stated it.
i dont even remember anymore but the only thing shown about it probably was that the backups deaths trigger a rewind without doing the first step. see, in either case its an alien death that triggers it - the backups or...
no, it was never shown they can trigger a rewind at will or because they feel in danger no matter how many walls of text you write.
i never claimed to "understand better", i claim that theres nothing to understand as it wasn't written right
and no, quoting the book, while helpful, especially if...
no, now you're just coping
the mimics have never once been shown to trigger rewind without being killed. when they feel threatened? having their antenna broken and their backups eliminated one by one doesn't count then?
and what do you mean capture how? they've already cut its antenna and made...
ok, even if that's true, you being better at explaining it than the author is already a huge negative for his writing quality
but it still doesn't address the backup range issue (or move far away instead of dieing solution), the how did they know issue, since they literally only did 1 loop where...
love the memory replay thing but i wonder how accurate it is... if it was played off of her memories instead of his, will it look like she thinks it looked or still this bad?
i played alien storm on arcade. you can't go quoting profound wisdom out of that game to someone that knows the characters in it were saving the world from an alien burger stall truck.
its not him dieing that triggers the loop since that doesnt happen for any of the other backups, why would it suddenly happen for him? like all previous battles, it's rita killing the server that was triggering the loop. also, she was killing it without killing the backups because she always...
theory: there aren't "her loops" and "his loops" or any such thing. the loops are always initiated by the mimics, or specifically by the antenna mimic dieing while he has some backups alive. the only thing that changes is who keeps their memories when they happen. originally it was just the...
That doesn't mean they were useless or disposable, even if its just to keep up the pretense they're still supposed to be powerful and more important than a few peasants in a bar fight.
Actually we were even given some numbers (levels) to quantify it, around 30-35 iirc (no, i'm not going back to...
There's no reason to think she killed anyone else besides said drunk, since the person on the same table as her survived.
And even if she really did because of the author's stupid writing, I'd still side with her - rule of the strong and all that, remember this isn't the lame modern day world...
