In case your wondering, I first came to the conclusion there was a Multiverse in high school. Is was early in the morning, my first day as a Freshman. I was alone in one of the buildings and half asleep still. (I had to be at school earlier than everyone elce that day because my dad was still working summer hours.) So as we walking into one of the faculty rooms I had this day dream where I was rollerskating down the railing at the same time I was actully walking down the stairs.
Now in this universe I hate sports, all sports, can't stand them. Reason for this, when I was about 4 or 5 my brother had a bike. Can't remember if he was just learning or what but I saw him fall off that bike. From that point I was scared away from anything on wheels. Basketball, use to play with my cousin, he broke his arm one day while we were playing. I've hated sports ever sence.
My guess is in this alternate universe I never saw either of these events. I took up sports just as any kid does and there you go another version of me who rollerblades.
This version of me eventually got scared away from going outside at all. I'd either be drawling or watching TV. My dad and my great grandmother (who died shortly before I finished school) got me started on drawling. My dad of course drew Mallardman when he was in High School. He had that drawling along with a bunch of others in a portfolio that I found at a fairly early age. My great grandmother even fighting arthritis and all the way up to her death was still and active artist. She drew pictures of Betty Boop (not profesionally but that same well known character), her dog (now my dog, only thing I have left of her), and verious other things. What that lead to was a verry artistic version of me. By the time I started Kindergarden I had allready outgrown stick figures.
Straingly enough even though I started good I didn't really improve much and instead exspanded to other fourms of art. Got an intrest in acting, went to presue that and still am allthough I haven't been on stage sence high school.
Still you can see how the simple choice of "do I want to go outside and play with my brother/cousin or stay inside and watch Star Trek with daddy" can change my whole life. It's allso kinda ironic that by not going outside to play to begine with would have made me more active later in life.
Well by my standers....if your life were a work of fiction....and there was a alternate universe of you that loved sports and was very out going while you hated sports and was afraid of going out.....then you would be two different characters.....conected on a strange level but still different characters.
But you are intitled to your belief as am I.Its not like we can ever really know in our life times witch view is right. And when it conserens ficstional characters its all up to reader to chose for himself.
Well this was a very long and entertaining debate.....and we didnt even resort to any name calling........we should do this again
You forgot to say "Only the wrighter knows for sure the rest is open for debate."
If you read comics on a regular then you would know that even they dont know $hi+ about the characters their writting.
Changing personalties from time to time or acting out of character has plagued the common comic reader for decades.
I think that's why I never got into comics. They make no gawd damn sence.
Alot of comics form their own continuity away from their animated counterparts. Like I know G1 characters have appered in the Armada comics but they never have on the cartoon. The other major differences between the Armada Cartoon and Comics is the Mini-cons and Overload.
Mini-cons actully talk in the comics. In the cartoons they just beep.
Overload in the comics is an actuall sentient character. In the cartoon considering you only see him once, he has no lines, Optimus imidiatly uses him as a weapon, and they LAUNCH him into space, I seriouly doubt Cartoon Overload is sentient.
Cartoons tend to have a little more consistantcy in their story telling than comics do. I think because the comics tend to be wrighten each issue by entirely different people who completly ignore every comic before them where as useually in cartoons it looks like the wrighters actully do some research. It allso helps that they actully have actors playing the parts who can say "wait a min. I can't say that line, it completly goes agenst what my character said last week."
Comic wrighters can't talk to the characters they're wrighting, TV/Movie wrighters can.
In fact some episodes of some shows have been wrighten and directed by actors who stared in them.
William Shatner and Lenord Nimoy I know have both taken turns behind the camera directing the movies.
I belive (can't remember his name right now) the actor who plays Commander Riker wrote and directed a few episodes of TNG.
This is allso somewhat funny because that would mean that off camera lower crew men are telling their captain what to do.
The actor who plays Jordy Leforge and hosts Reading Rainbow allso dedicated an entire episode of Reading Rainbow to showing what goes on behind the sceens of Star Trek TNG. Straingly enough he did that episode without ever even mentioning he was was Jordy. It wasn't like "here's my dressing room now watch these guys glue a visor to my face." there was no mention at all that he was the actor playing that part on the show.
