Ahhh, father-son bonding over having to supply tedious sci-fi exposition.

Sci-fi: Good expedition, bad exposition, shooty shooty bang bang.
Multiverse theory’s a bongo.
Also is Joyce Naruto-running in the bottom panel? I mean we know she watches it in this universe.
That might be why I’m generally not a fan of sci-fi, too much explainin’
The best sci-fi gives you just enough explanation so you have something to suspend your disbelief from.
But not so much techno-babble that it confuses you. I’ve been watching Start Trek: TNG (for about the 10th time lol) recently and noticed that they did a really good job of that.
Trek was pretty good about internal consistency, once they defined Warp speed as a log scale and rerouting power to the deflector as magic.
(Just ignore how relatively goofy and non-threatening the Borg was at the beginning of TNG. They have nothing on VOY!Borg and Species 8472.)
“My exposition is misfirin’.” What century is this kind from?
The twenty-first.
Just a little under eight years into our (as of May 2021) future, I wanna say? The Martian invasion at the end of It’s Walky was in February 2004, and they said they’d be back in 25 years, so February 2029.
Machete’s secret weapon: he will talk so much that even HAII will get bored and forget about it.
That’s a lot of universes messing up where they were sending people.
Given an infinte number of universes, if say, 10% of have a Machete, 10% of those accidentally send him back in time, 10% of those send another kid after him, and 10% of those end up in the Walkyverse…
…That is still an infinte number of unverses.
Exposition is difficult when you inherited the “Cornpone Accent” side of the Walkerton genome.
“As you know, Dad…sir…”
After Clint I never wanna hear anyone call their (grand)dad “Sir” ever again.
