I asked myself a philosophical question about a situation that occurs in an children TV show.
First let me get you in context: Nox (the antagonist of the show) desires to take all of the Wakfu from the world, or at least enough of it, to power the Eliacube, a small cube of incredible power that appears to speak to him, and go back in time to save his family from death. Because he is trying to go back in time, he is ruthless in the pursuit of his goal and takes many lives in his quest to gather Wakfu (life force/energy), as he believes that when he goes back in time, all that he has done will be undone.
Who is the true “villain†of the show? He or the people trying to stop him?
He has destroyed a huge percent of the vegetation, committed a genocide, even killed a main character. Suppose the heroes stop him, preventing him to go back in time and erase everything he has done, would this make them the one responsible for their deaths? Of course, there is the butterfly effect, and not every single one of the victims would resuscitate, but at least the nature would be back to normal and no one would be complaining about the death of anyone, since they are no longer part of the universe’s existence. What do you think?
