(rant) My experiences looping in real life. (r/ReZero)
Watching ReZero make me question some things, mostly "What I would do here". Most of the time I would do worse than Subaru. He is much more a hero than I am. And more lucky.
I the serie there some events that repeat comically. On the first episodes is Subaru meeting the same group of thieves in the same backstreet.
I have a life full of regrets, but I know from experience that If I had to live the same life, I would 99.999% take the same decisions against.
I am not a time wizard, so I can't experience that first hand. But I got that experience in other ways.
Mostly replaying the same videogames. Replaying games where theres decisions in points in the story, like the Mass Effect games, or the Baldurs Gates, I found myself making the same exact choices. Sometimes suprising me looking back and finding that the past me took the exact same steps that I did.
I had this experience again recently watching the preview of POE2. I watched it first with friends in a discord server. And made X innane comments in Y places. Comments that looked like random bits.
Then again I watched this POE2 review again in a stream, and found myself making the same "random" comments in the same places.
So I could watch again ReZero and see these parts where people say the same words and do the same actions and reflect that is probably what would happend in real life. The whole thing about a Buttefly in the Amazonas changing the entire future is true, but is also true that humans have a solid innertia to say and do the same things. I totally believe that following his own accords, Subaru would enter that backstreet at the same time, Emilia would react the same way to Subaru.
I have a life of regrets, but I think had the power of Subaru, I would love the same persons again and make the same mistakes. This make me appreciate ReZero and Subaru even more for the power of Subaru to go back and change things for the better. Specially how he turned Rem from a enemy in a friend, saving the town childrens, fighting to save Emilia, Felt and Rom, and everything else.
ReZero is really a beatiful thing.
