The Paradox of Cloud

[Pete]

I don't even know why I'm bothering with this.

Motorcycles are actually supremely efficient in terms of gas consumption. Having people switch to them from cars would actually be a great benefit to the planet, provided they are driven safely and responsibly. Plus, if you're presumably in a city like Midgar, your transit system should be so good that you don't need a vehicle.

I went as far as looking up motorcycle mpg ratings from 1998, because why not. The average rating fell in at around 50 mpg, which is pretty solid. Combine this with the obviously smaller fuel tanks when compared to cars, and it's virtually a win win situation. You consume less fuel while going further on your tank.

You can also make the argument that blowing up a reactor causes more harm than good. How many hospitals lost power? How many businesses like restaurants went tits up because the fridges failed and they lost their entire stock?
Don't forget about the entire plate that was dropped to try to stop avalanche. That's more innocent life lost.

I'm not saying avalanche (if you still consider your party to be that) wasn't ultimately successful. I think you really have to look at things with the idea of Cloud never meeting Aeris. What do they actually accomplish if they never meet Aeris and the Shinra crew?

Why does everyone in this fandom have to be rude to me alone? Are the other targets you worked on before just not as much fun? I have feelings man. Stop saying rude things.

Cloud has no flower to give Tifa or Marlene, for starters. He never falls off the bridge of the Sector 5 reactor, and the Turks kidnap Aeris right away. She never opens the Temple of the Ancients, and ends up stuck in the Shinra building being used as a Cetra breeding machine*. Sephiroth eventually gets his hands on the Keystone, sends in one of his clones to solve the puzzle and get the Black Materia, has one of them bring it to his carcass at the Great Glacier, summons Meteor, and Cloud probably dies of Mako Poisoning right as Meteor wipes out Midgar and Planet Gaia. Sephiroth uses Planet Gaia's carcass to go find a new Planet to eat, possibly Ur.

*If you are horny from this, then you need to go apologize to your Hippie Parents now. You are every last bit as carnal as them.

I know this one! Because you're annoying and the majority of your posts are gibberish.

This kind of post also doesn't belong in this forum, it is far from intellectual.
