[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9190440, member: 7035894"] Continued: A good example of the consequentialist/deontological debate is sort of the crux of the final episode of Loki, where he is presented with two arguments and has to choose which is best. [SPOILER="Spoilers for Loki"] He Who Remains argues that preserving the "sacred timeline" while destroying all the rest is the only moral choice because the alternative is a multiverse war that will kill all the times lines. Saving one timeline, particularly the one where he and Loki live along with anyone they care about, is clearly mathematically better than saving no timelines, so that is the right thing to do. Sylvie argues that the underlying principal is what matters, and she basically asks a Kantian question: would a reasonable person want to live in a universe where every choice is ultimately pre-determined by HWR? No? Then better to let everyone be free and fight for their future, even if ultimately doomed. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
