Futrama in Simpsons and viceversa paradox explained!

Post by EvilCupcake » Thu Dec 02, 2004 12:50 pm

In 1987 Matt Groening created Life In Hell, The Series. This is Universe A.
In 1987A Matt never created the Simpsons because he had no napkin to draw the characters on. So he stuck with his Life In Hell idea instead. However, the Nibbolians knew that he was a Interdementapath, someone who can pick things up from other Universes. So in 1999A they traveled back to 1987A and supplied him with a napkin, thus creating Universe B.
However the soon realized that if Fry was unsucsessful then the Universe would be distroyed in 3004 so, in 1998B they inplanted the idea for Futurama in Matt's head, thus creating Universe C, in order to warn others and to get people to prevent this from happening. Universe C is this universe

Interesting idea, but this kind of implies that Futurama is real and that MG and the writers* got all their ideas from some sort of future history bhook or something.

Well, he did provide further proof that Futurama is real in a thread below...

Not really. The Nibbolians put the idea for Futurama inside Matt Groening B's head and Matt, thinking that it was his own, created the show. For furher proof that Futurama is real, go see RTEW.

But the fact of creating Universe C will not help prevent Universe B from destroying :)

Back in my day, we didn't have none of this php or frames or auto-whatsit. I ran this place single-handed doing the HTML on Notepad! And it was better! Everything was subject to my star ratings and if it was crap, I durn said so! And speakin' of crap, these newbies are getting on my nerves! You can have yer Nordlanders and Dawsons- give me a Stephen Boswell script any day of the week!

Every time the Nibbolians created another reality it 'recorded' over the last one.

Universe A; No Simpsons, no Futurama
Universe B; Simpsons, no Futurama
Universe C; Simpsons and Futurama

If anyone could create a time line for this that would really help. :)

I can hardly believe this; 'cause the consequences caused by the 'recording' will completely override the future; there (then) can be even no Nibbolians at all. :) The 'spawning' another version of the Universe is the only real way to travel through the time. ;)

Well, an anlternate theroy is that when the Nibbolians created a different reality it spun off from the original. Meaning that there is a universe where the Simpsons dont exist, another where they do exist but Futurama doesnt and our universe.

Well, I must admit that your theory is very interesting. :)
