It all makes sense! I mean, Charlie's theory doesn't account at all for fists evolving from flesh to stone to bronze! And that's just where it starts! Look at the Nu! Completely unchanged after millions of years! Everyone with half a brain knows that "evolution" is just a ploy created by Lavos to fool humanity! Wake up! Don't be parasite-food!

Evolution is the way natural selection works for an eco-system, not simply for an individual creature as that falls under different rules.

But it's fun to punch abstract ideas in the face!
-------------------- At any given moment it's hard to remember the headspace of every other given moment. But I live in space a lot.

Isn't that an oxymoron? I mean, an abstract idea by definition doesn't have a face to punch.

True, but don't forget about the tenet of survival of the fittest. Badassery definitely helps one to be "better adapted for" their "immediate, local environment." -------------------- |

Not necessarily. The stalk that stands out gets lopped off. -------------------- Please do not "help" me by merging threads I make into the ridiculously large ones that seem like they have everything but the kitchen sink related to that topic.

Just as the Reptites repeatedly tried to eliminate Ayla. The "stalk that stands out" just has to be badass enough to survive the attempt and chop right back.
 -------------------- Bleep! Expletive deleted. Bleepity-bleep-bleep. Frak!

Except she wasn't, at least if Lavos hadn't come down and smashed the center of Reptite power (and the Black Tyrano). -------------------- Please do not "help" me by merging threads I make into the ridiculously large ones that seem like they have everything but the kitchen sink related to that topic.

Lavos was an afterthought, after the ancestor of badass punched the Black Tyranno so hard that it didn't wake up for millions of years.

I guess one could speculate that Ayla might not have triumphed if she didn't have backup from the future. Perhaps if Crono and company hadn't wandered into the human-reptite conflict, it might not have escalated to a final showdown before Lavos made it really decisive.
Maybe Azala wasn't originally very worried about the apes; the hide of Nizbel, among others, was tough enough to give even Ayla pause,* so why take them seriously? At least, before the kid who calls down lightning on demand came into the picture. With ridiculously advanced tech, too. Just knowing one's enemy is randomly capable of that? Pretty solid motivator for stepping up one's ape-extinction program. Who's to say the torching of the Laruba Village's forest was part of the original timeline? * Among other advantages are enough infrastructure and manpower to build a tower surrounded by mountains and lava, at least one among their number with psychic powers, and a fire-breathing tyrant lizard. ... That said, yeah, I'd believe Ayla could singlefootedly kick the lizard people's collective asses. This post has been edited by Gaius on May 26 2012, 03:40 AM |
