Originally posted by leonidasas soon as someone returns to the 616 and alters anything of consequence, the future that WOULD have resulted then becomes relegated to a POSSIBLE future.
in your cable example it WAS the 'true' 616 future, until when . . .? UNTIL IT WAS ALTERED and kept from becoming said future. there ARE dozens of apocalyptic futures -- none are realized, all are divergent because they have been ALTERED and so they are no longer the 'true' 616 timeline.
you are absolutley correct when you said marvel has shown a truckload of 'real' 616 futures. none of those futures ever have the chance to come about though because they are altered before that can happen. all those futures are designated differently and acknowledged RETROACTIVELY, just like all your bios do.
Ok, this is good, reasoning is being established.

do you realize the implications of your interpretation? do you understand that by following your logic the current x-books (and many others, apparently) ARE OUT OF CONTINUITY!
But Leo, why do you assume that alternate realities (or "would be" FutureS)
are out of continuity?
You lost me there.
616 is Not the only canon Universe,
616 is just the mainstream/Prime Reality,
but other Universes are just a valid as having had existed withIN the Prime Multiverse.

sigh. it's unfortunate that you're unwilling to even admit the limitations and problems -- let alone address said limitations --
that arise from your interpretation of events.
There's no interpretation taking place here.
The whole discussion for over 20 pages or so was,
Jean affected the "real" Future of 616,
because she touched Scott in Present 616 to affect said Future.
Well,
I presented sevaral examples of OTHERS doing the same thing, the SAME thing.
Imo, you're the one who's willingly ignoring that,
although, I thought you saw the light and recognized that in your above quote,
guess I misunderstood what you were implying. 🙁

Can't say I didn't give You the chance,
to acknowledge the "Here Comes Tomorrow" story as just Another possible Future.
You saw the proof,
but instead, you tell me to "admit to limitations of interpretations" ... huh?
I'm not interpreting anything,
because there's no room to speculate on this one friend,
I was just showing you what I've been arguing from the beginning,
"Here Comes Tomorrow" was Never a special case,
or the "absolute definite" Future of 616,
and I proved it, conclusively.

but, whatever.
Whatever, indeed.
All I wanna read is,
I agree based on the irrefutable evidence,
that "Here Comes Tomorrow" was not the definite Future of 616,
because EVIDENTLY, there are MANY supposed "definite FutureS" connected to 616.
