    I feel like every time travel movie underestimates just how easy it is to create a world ending paradox.

    OOP hasn't watched enough time travel movies

    Saw this one first, thought the joke was that since he only transported back a few seconds he was in the same spot and exploded himself. Looked at the original and it seems like It was the same joke just without the paradox part. Idk why ppl are saying its incomprehensible

    Its great! Dont mind people who need handholding, the joke is super clear, although the punchline has changed, the original paradox one is implied.

    I actually think this is a very successful cosmetic surgery

    I didn’t understand the amputation at all until seeing the original. At best I thought so is this like teleportation where teleporting would need to kill your physical self at the origin and reconstruct you at the destination?

    The original is fine.

    You made the main joke the fact that going back a few seconds means you will appear in the same spot.

    The original has this joke but also the joke that only going back a few seconds is what caused the paradox, which makes the panel of the warning about the paradox earn its place too.

    Earth rotates, so going back a few seconds will land you quite far away from original location.

    I thought about this. Earth also moves through space, the milky way moves through space. Depending on your reference point, it would land you very far away.

    These are just the concessions we make for stories to make sense. It's called willing suspension of disbelief.

    It's a good amputation for sure, could maybe use the "You'll cause a paradox" panel, but I feel like there's enough pop culture knowledge to get it if you think about it for a sec (if that long)

    This definitely changes the joke. As a fan of this guy’s fucked up sense of humor, I gotta be a purist and side with the original.

    The original was perfectly fine as is, but you did manage to make a fun little absurd comic.

    The joke is different from the original, but it's also a good joke.
