The works of time travel are bound to have bugs, which is determined by the characteristics of time travel itself. To put it directly, it is the irreconcilable collision of human free will and causal logic.
Take the grandfather paradox - if a person goes back in time and kills his grandfather, will he still exist? If not, then who killed the grandfather? If so, where did the grandfather come from when he died?
One possible solution is parallel universes. When you wear time, you travel to a parallel universe. You kill your grandfather here, which will only cause you in this parallel universe to not be born, but it has nothing to do with the universe you came from. In this way, any involvement before and after Shichuan is logically cut off, which is simple and straightforward.
But such a plan obviously lacks beauty and dramatic tension-you must know that in Shichuan-themed works, what people want to see is the brain-burning after all kinds of causal logics are reversed. If you do this, the audience will disagree, but you will responsible!
So "Darkness" did not use this setting.
In Diablo, everything is designed to be twisted together. Whether it is the circulation of props or the relationship between characters, it becomes a ring structure, which is not complicated.
So how to solve the grandfather paradox?
There are two points.
The first point is to let the characters act subjectively in accordance with the will of "making the cycle happen".
Adam and Eve are at odds with each other. Adam kept saying "the last cycle", actually wanting to end the cycle at the end. Eve, on the other hand, is a complete cyclicalist, trying to keep the cycle going forever. But even Adam, before the timeline reaches the "last cycle", is still acting according to the existing script. He and his time-traveler brethren faithfully did their job, playing pawns, so that the timeline would move along without error.
This solution is naturally problematic, because on the one hand it directly weakens or even negates the subjective will of man.
Humans are not machines and do not act exactly like a computer does. If we recognize human subjective will, we must recognize the complexity and randomness of human thinking at the same time. Don't those who are in the loop struggle a little bit? Is there no possibility of deviating from the established path at all? And between the input and output of cause and effect is a chaotic system, a black box that humans cannot control. In other words, as long as human beings have free will, then this cycle must not be stable, and it is easy to collapse due to the hesitation, inaction and erratic behavior of key players in some links, resulting in the rupture of the entire logic chain.
For this reason, Diablo had to resort to the second point. In order to solve the grandfather paradox, the logic in "Darkness" is - do not let you kill your grandfather. In the story, Adam and Noah both said a line - you still don't understand the rules of the game. The implication is that the rule of the game is that existence must exist. When you fire a gun at a "must be", the gun jams. But the gun isn't actually bad, it's the logic of time that doesn't allow you to do it - good guy, in order to make the logic of time reasonable, the script directly negates the logic of physics.
One more mouth, if this is the case, what are Adam and Eve planning and planning? It's bound to happen anyway! This practice, in fact, denies human free will, and is very dangerous and harmful. How about this, we still see a Mao story? The so-called story is the choices and actions of a group of people with free will in a specific environment. If there is no free will, you say that he does it because he will do it, or it is the same whether he does it or not, then the story will be drawn from the bottom of the pot, and it will be boring. No audience would want to see a purely fatalistic story - the choices and actions of the characters have no effect on the direction of the story? Then I look lonely?
Therefore, this second explanation cannot be used often, and can only be used forcibly when the plot really cannot come back. But if Rao uses it like this, it also detracts from the credibility of the story.
By the way, the above is catching insects, and I will catch a little more below.
If you really want to get serious, in fact, the biggest bug is that it is impossible for offspring to give birth to ancestors in sexual reproduction, and it is even more impossible for a daughter to give birth to a mother. If you really want to comply with the physical & biological rules, then you should know that the method of meiosis and fusion of biparental cells in sexual reproduction will disrupt the genes, and the daughter Midsummer Horse means that the genes are disrupted and then disrupted again. , the result is a return to the original state, which does not conform to the law of entropy increase. Imagine 10,000 playing cards arranged in a certain sequence, and after you shuffle it twice, it reverts to its original sequence. Moreover, in the case of the play, this also requires that Noah has exactly the half of the genes that Charlotte did not pass on to Elizabeth, and that half of the genes happened to be in the sperm of the victory.
Having said all that, am I criticizing "Darkness"?
Not really.
As I said at the beginning, the works of time travel will inevitably have bugs, which is determined by the theme itself, not the poor level of the main creator. Throughout the ages, I have worn works for so many times, as long as the chain of cause and effect is involved, which ones are right? In fact, the main creator of Diablo is good enough, or even the top excellent. Faced with the theme of time and wear, they can open their minds, play at will, and give up on themselves... but they use the rigor of the Germans to push the story forward in a strict manner, until most of the pits are obtained. To answer, the foreshadowing also echoed.
Faced with such a divine drama, it is basically impossible to comprehend without watching the analysis. I read a few analysis articles and watched a few videos, and finally got a general understanding of the story. My appreciation and love for this show are mainly in the following aspects:
1. In addition to the characters, the circulation of important props in the timeline is also amazing, such as the circulation route of the box-shaped time machine, such as the circulation of necklaces. For details, you can see the analysis article and video, not much to expand here.
2. This drama is not only brain-burning, but also emotional dramas. The existence of time travel gives the character a possibility to meet relatives (even himself) of different ages. In fact, we all fantasize about what would happen if we went back in time and saw our parents when we were young? Diablo gives us the opportunity to explore this possibility. The most impressive one is that the old Claudia went back to 53 years to meet the young Tidman and told him, I'm sorry, you're fine, the world doesn't deserve you. Second, the middle-aged Claudia could not help crying when she saw her sick daughter in 2019. The third is that the young Yunas returned to 1986, looked at Mick who was lost from a distance, had mixed feelings, and finally chose not to disturb him. As for middle-aged Yunas and Hannah, they seem to have no feelings. = =.
3. God-like casting. I don't know if I'm not sensitive enough to the facial features of Europeans and Americans. Anyway, I feel that actors of the same character in different age groups look very similar. Especially Mick => Mikael; Ulrich youth => middle age => old age; Tannhaus youth => middle age; Magnus youth => old age, they are all too similar. Ines middle age => old age; Helge middle age => old age; Bartos youth => middle age; etc. And this resemblance is not only a skin image, but also a temperament image. In addition to the resemblance of the actors themselves, the costumes and detailed performances must also contribute a lot. When watching the drama, it is also a great pleasure to guess who the new characters are by their looks.
4. Extremely sophisticated production. Whether it's the music or the pictures, it's very hallucinogenic.
Finally, discuss the ending.
I really liked how this ending was handled. In fact, this ending is very philosophical in Buddhism. After eliminating the cause of the inner and outer worlds in the origin world, the two worlds completely disappeared. All the people created by time travel turned into golden particles and disappeared. Before the disillusionment, the male protagonist once again said that we were born to be a couple, and Adam and Eve also met each other. In the origin world, characters who have nothing to do with time travel get together and talk happily. Here, I suddenly thought that four young people were at the lake at that time, the sun was shining bright and carefree, the boys and girls were testing each other with vague thoughts. That was the best moment in this story. After all is dead, these things seem like they never happened, but I'd rather those time-travelers freeze in the best moments of their lives.
Finally, discuss two unsolved mysteries that have not been solved until the end.
First, in the first season, when Jonas was running away, he saw his dad in the woods with black oil on his face. What happened?
Second, how did the police station's one-eyed Waller go blind in that eye?
