Talk:It Isn't the Mane Thing About You/@comment-29017069-20170916184252/@comment-5837525-20170916190247

You make my brain cry, Smv19. TV or not, that isn't how time travel works. If one travels back in time (regardless of how far back one goes) to change something, and that change eliminates the need to go back in time in the first place, that's a paradox.

And it's why It's About Time is the exact same situation. Twilight went back in time to warn herself. That put her past self on the path that led to her traveling back in time again, creating a stable time loop.

If Rarity went back in time to stop herself from ruining her own mane, her mane wouldn't have been ruined, she wouldn't have asked Zecora for a cure, and Zecora wouldn't have suggested going back in time to begin with. NOT a stable time loop.
