Butterfly of Doom	comment	Want to go back in time to stop your parents from losing their retirement money in the Dotcom crash? Save a loved one from a fatal accident? Nudge a closet a little to the left to avoid hitting your toe? In some universes, you're not just going to run into You Can't Fight Fate, but into Finagle's Law on a grand scale: the Butterfly of Doom. Any and every change made in the past will always have an unintended and horrible side effect, no matter how unlikely. By simply throwing a stone at a tree in the Cretaceous period, once you arrive back at the present, you could find that civilization is now dominated by anthropomorphic frogs, the Confederacy won the civil war, electricity and modern medicine were never discovered, Pangaea never broke apart, or ketchupâ€™s primary ingredient is now blueberries. Much like a temporal Monkey's Paw, you might succeed at changing the thing you intended, but at a terrible cost. Telling your parents to move their money elsewhere gets them arrested for insider trading; the loved one you saved develops a wasting terminal cancer; the closet you moved is now on a weak floorboard and crashes through it, destroying your house. To repair the damage, it's usually necessary to travel in time again to Set Right What Once Went Wrong â€” more specifically, to set right what you made go wrong. A Fantastic Aesop and a Sour Grapes trope, the Butterfly of Doom is intended to drive home that any attempt to change history will be met with the wrath of Fate itself, and you'll never end up better off. It can overlap with It's a Wonderful Plot, in which the butterfly is you. Godwin's Law of Time Travel is a Sub-Trope in which the thing that you change leads to Hitler winning World War II. This is one of the techniques that writers use to ensure that Time Travel doesn't interfere with Status Quo Is God. Others are that Time Travel creates Alternate Universes, that creating a Temporal Paradox obliterates reality or unleashes the Clock Roaches to eat offenders, and that Time is resilient and can absorb changes without breaking. See also Finagle's Law, Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act, SchrÃ¶dinger's Butterfly, Rube Goldberg Device, Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts, Necro Non Sequitur, Non Sequitur Causality and Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory. Contrast Save This Person, Save the World and Merged Reality. Unrelated to Butterfly of Transformation or its subtropes. Not to Be Confused with another common trope resulting from the Butterfly Effect, Disaster Dominoes, where a small accident or event sets off a whole chain of increasingly destructive events. Also not to be confused with Moth Menace, which is about a literal lepidopteran causing harm. For the trope where a butterfly symbolizes one's death or resurrection, see Butterfly of Death and Rebirth.

Butterfly of Doom / int_104b5e68	comment	In the third book of The Pendragon Adventure, The Never War, the characters at first think that to make the turning point go correctly, they must stop the destruction of the Hindenburg. However, they ask the Traveler from Third Earth (the far future) to analyze what would happen if they did it. It turns out that the world would be destroyed if they went through with it. After a rather huge misunderstanding because one character didn't get that last bit of info, they manage to let time go on its proper course. And then, in the later books, Mark brings incredibly advanced technology into the past, jump-starting the computer industry and advancing technology's development. Of course, also thanks to Mark, we also get the future dystopia seen in Raven Rise because of a stupid decision he made in 1939.

A good example is Night Watch, where despite the fact that when John Keel, an important figure in the storyline, is killed because Vimes turns up 30 years in the past, Vimes ends up taking his place more-or-less seamlessly.

Yet curiously averted in that they kill a whole bunch of people other than Sarah or John seemingly without affecting anything. Terminator Genisys brings this even further even by establishing the "crushed butterfly" that creates an Alternate Timeline: once John Connor undergoes an Unwilling Roboticisation in the future, the history up to that point is altered.

Wolverine goes back in time in order to kill Ultron's creator, Hank Pym, only to discover that in the new timeline, the murder of Hank Pym caused the Avengers to disband, which in turn caused Asgard to lose the Asgardian/Latverian War, resulting in a present where the sorceress Morgan le Fay conquered most of Earth, and Iron Man leads a resistance of broken heroes trying to keep New York from falling into her hands.

Butterfly of Doom / int_14d341dc	comment	Used Star Trek Online. During the "Ghosts" Featured Episode, your character and his team must go back in time to Drozana Station of the 23rd to stop the Devidians from causing havoc with the time stream. One of your crew members will make sure you invoke the Temporal Prime Directive, meaning you can't go around and muck with the time stream all willy-nilly. The first time you go back in time, you don't have much of a choice to muck with the time stream when you end up encounter Dr. McCoy - saving lives from the Devidians takes priority over everything else and you help pioneer a way to counteract the Devidians' absorptions. The second time, after you destroy a comet the Devidians were using to perform their time travel shenanigans, the Black Ops group you're aiding says they'll make sure everything you've done is kept off the books. It's done again in the finale of the Federation's "Klingon War" storyline. You chase Ambassador B'Vat through the Guardian of Forever and learn that his arrival had changed history with the original Enterprise destroyed. You arrived just in time to stop that and you go on to rescue Miral Paris. The Iconian War storyline mission "Butterfly" deals with this trope. In order to either stop the Iconian War or delay it, the Delta Alliance works with the Krenim to use Annorax's time ship to try and alter history. They do run some tests to figure out which is the best, which they determine is preventing the USS Yamato from finding Iconia in the first place, which is only the best because Romulus was restored, even though the Romulan Star Empire was still in power. When they put it into action, it turns out that, oops, Romulus is now fully assimilated by the Borg and aiming for the rest of the Beta Quadrant. You're forced to create a Close-Enough Timeline to prevent this from sticking.

Butterfly of Doom / int_1543f8a	comment	In Zero Time Dilemma, Zero loves to tell stories revolving around this trope, all leading to an aesop of "life is simply unfair." This turns out to be his central life philosophy and motivation behind his actions. The whole timeline is set in motion because of a single snail on a trail that caused a jogging woman to take a different route. For that, Eric's mother died, Akane's dad was wrongly convicted and her mother committed suicide, leading to the events of 999, and Sean lost his life when his surgeon died in a car accident. All of this led to Brother having to deal with the grief of losing his friend, and set up the events of both VLR and this game. Because of this, Brother hates SHIFTers, and considers the fact that they can jump to alternate timelines where life is better for them to be unfair.

Butterfly of Doom / int_1651699e	comment	Venom (2021): Discussed in issue #25 ("Butterfly Collectors") by Doctor Doom, who knows whereof he speaks when it comes to time travel. Normally in the Marvel universe, time travel just results in creating an alternate reality, but Doom has a time machine that can ignore those rules. But even he is careful to avoid the metaphorical butterflies, such as killing a past version of himself for being an annoyance (and wiping his memory so he doesn't become hell-bent on trying to kill his future self). Eddie, meanwhile, lands in the 1940s and grabs the nearest symbiote... only to learn after doing so he's changed the outcome of World War 2, which gives him a Freak Out.

Butterfly of Doom / int_1a3a6af1	comment	Continuum averts this in a weird way. Time travelers come in two factions; Narcissists who want to use time travel to change history, and the Continuum which wants to keep things just as they are. The war between the two has a known ending; the Continuum wins. The Continuum must win, because if the Narcissists keep changing the past, existence vanishes in a Puff of Logic. All existence. Thus, for the good of everyone ever born, there are no butterlies of doom. Not "the Continuum must stop them or existence will blink out." Rather, the butterflies at no point in the time stream happen, and this is known because existence still exists. That doesn't mean Narcissists won't try to change things (they believe existence can change) or that things happened the way you think they did. If a Narcissist has a plan to insert a butterfly of doom, it fails. Of course, since you might not know what that plan is, you don't know exactly how history unfolded. For example, if a Narcissist tries to go back in time to stop Lincoln's assassination, it's entirely possible the narcissist killed John Wilkes Boothe - and a member of the Continuum replaced him. The Continuum operates by Blue-and-Orange Morality; since everyone, everywhere, at all times winks out if the timeline is damaged, ensuring even the most horrible events in history play out as recorded is paramount. Put another way, the Continuum would defend Pol Pot because letting Pol Pot be stopped - contradictory to the historical record - causes all existence to stop, ending countless lives.

In "Birthday" the demon Skip shows Cordelia (with the help of Monday Night Football replay and onscreen graphics) how her life could have been different if she'd just moved in one direction as opposed to the other during a party in the series premiere and met a Hollywood talent agent instead of the series protagonist, becoming the famous star of a comedy television series instead of a Fainting Seer whose visions are killing her. The downside being, Angel is now the Fainting Seer, effectively an insane, depressed wreck owing to his loneliness and the visions.

Depending on him making it or not (and failing or not a spot check), his entire life is going to go in completely different direction. But it's not the train itself that is the catalyst. The events in the train station are just the aftermath of a much more important event. After his father's death, Witek asks the dean for a few days to think things over. The rest of the story, including catching (or not) the fated train, follows from the choice that he made during this quiet downtime.

Neil deGrasse Tyson uses three butterflies in a cloud of white moths to represent the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because the variations needed to radically change the climate are so mathematically small—no butterflies, and the Earth freezes, three more butterflies and it heats up.

Butterfly of Doom / int_261c8d3f	comment	In the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror segment "Time and Punishment", a malfunctioning toaster transports Homer to the prehistoric past. He remembers some advice Grandpa gave him regarding this very trope, then instantly forgets it to squash a bug. When he returns to the present, Ned Flanders has taken over the world and turned it into a cheerful dystopia where Happiness Is Mandatory. His attempts to fix the timeline cause alternate futures that range from even worse to just plain weird. When one of his sneezes causes all of the dinosaurs to drop dead, he moans, "This is gonna cost me." note Ironically enough, this results in a future that seems perfect for him: his sisters-in-laws are dead, his family is rich, the children are polite... but then he learns that donuts apparently don't exist in this timeline when he uses the word and nobody knows what he's talking about. He disappears into the past to try again, before we see that it rains donuts in this future. Homer eventually snaps and just starts whacking everything with a baseball bat, creating a future that's actually pretty near normal, except everyone has weird, elongated, lizard-like tongues.

Butterfly of Doom / int_28fe1376	comment	Fringe: In a roundabout way, the show reveals in bits and pieces that the entire plot of the series and the fate of multiple universes all pivoted on a single inadvertent action by a time traveler: an Observer's presence distracting the red universe's Walter Bishop from discovering a cure for his son Peter's illness. This minuscule action caused Walter's blue universe counterpart to bridge their two universes to save Peter, and then kidnap him to be a Replacement Goldfish for his own Peter. This dimensional mess destabilized the physical laws of both universes and jeopardized the timeline that would spawn the time-travelers in the first place, forcing them to take a direct role in correcting the original mistake.

Butterfly of Doom / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes: A big part of the show, with time travel (mainly by Hiro Nakamura, and later Peter Petrelli) and precognition being used to fix, worsen, and then repair the future many times. Featured most prominently in the episode, "The Butterfly Effect", where Future Peter screws up the past so badly, that he leaves things for Present Peter to fix since he had "stepped on too many butterflies." Possibly subverted, or at least morphed into You Can't Fight Fate, during Volume 4 where all of the things that happened in the "averted" future are happening anyway (Sylar can heal and shapeshift, Nathan has turned on the mutants, Sylar-As-Nathan is gunning for president, etc.. Heavily subverted with Charlie. Through Hiro's intervention, she is saved from her brain tumor and Sylar's murder-spree. But she is kidnapped and stranded in the 1940's in order to manipulate Hiro. Before she went, she was an insatiable reader and had the super-power of 100% perfect memory - someone with enormous potential to alter history for good or evil. Yet she does...nothing, instead choosing to work a factory job and settle down.

Gehnie expalins that this is the result of "the Chaos", in which even slight differences from the original timeline, like Irina deviating from her words to Layla in the first loop, can have a drastic effect on the new timeline. As it turns out, this is all a subversion. The Big Bad, Governor-General Izumo, had also gone back in time; with his knowledge of the future, he's able to make better tactical decisions.

Butterfly of Doom / int_34d050c6	comment	Invoked in one episode of Darkwing Duck where Darkwing and Gosalyn accidentally travel back to when Darkwing was a kid. Gosalyn tells Darkwing not to interfere in the past, so Darkwing leaves rather than stop the King, an Elvis-themed villain with a shock-wave guitar, from committing a robbery. Then it gets inverted where not interfering in the past is what causes the present to change, creating a world where the King rules the city. Thus, Darkwing and Gosalyn have to go back to the past in a rare occurrence where Set Right What Once Went Wrong meets You Already Changed the Past (with a dash of Stable Time Loop as Darkwing inspired his younger self to become a hero).

Butterfly of Doom / int_3558eaa2	comment	The Community episode "Remedial Chaos Theory" is all about this. It's decided that a roll of the dice will dictate who has to leave and pick up a pizza, so the one rolling the dice will be creating six different universes, all based around what the characters would or (or in some cases, wouldn't) be doing in the two or three minutes that the pizza is getting picked up. All outcomes except for one involve the group somehow creating a conflict in these few minutes. In the real (best) outcome, Abed stops the dice from falling, Jeff goes to get the pizza, and the group gets along fine while he's gone. In the "Dark" outcome where Troy leaves to pick up the pizza, Pierce dies, Annie goes insane and Shirley becomes an alcoholic because of Pierce's death, Jeff loses an arm, and Troy loses his larynx. Abed acknowledges that it's the darkest timeline, and makes everyone felt goatees so they can all be "evil" versions of themselves.

When Ranboo talks to Sam after Tommy's death, he insists that if he had talked Tommy out of griefing George's house, things might've turned out differently and Tommy not have died. Sam says that might not necessarily be the case, and that Dream might've found another reason to exile him anyways, leading to the same result, and urges Ranboo to not blame himself for Tommy's death. This is not far from the truth; Dream was going around griefing builds with Puffy and blaming Tommy for it weeks before Tommy and Ranboo griefed George's house.

Everyone's living happily, but as a consequence, his relationship with Sam is estranged because of their lack of time together, and all the people he saved as a Hunter died in their "accidents" without the brothers there to prevent them. Luckily, it was All Just a Dream. In "In the Beginning", Dean is actually taken back into time by Castiel, who warns him that any attempt to save his mother will inevitably result in the death of the innocents he has saved. Subverted in that no matter what Dean did, things ended up going exactly the same way anyway. In "Appointment in Samarra", a non-time-travel-related version happens when Dean becomes Death for a day and fails to reap a twelve-year-old girl, the butterfly ensures that things go badly for everyone near her. For example, a nurse gets off early because her help wasn't needed and dies in a car crash. His husband sees her die and attempts suicide by car accident.

She realizes that in the original timeline, Daniel was a patient of Raimy's mother, Jules, when Raimy came by for a visit and they hit it off. In the new timeline, with Jules long missing, there was no reason for Raimy to go to the hospital that night and so she and Daniel never met.

His initial attempts to change things only make things worse (such as Sam ending up stabbed by the dealer), but he eventually manages to change things enough that neither of them is killed or arrested and "jumps" back to the present, where it looks initially like an inversion; he's back to being an Olympic athlete and Sam is alive.

This later developed into a full-on ability to travel through time. What makes her notable is that her power breaks one of the fundamental laws of time travel in the Marvel Universe: That one is unable to change their own universe's past, and that any changes will result in the creation of a new universe. Tempus's power allows her to travel through her own timeline at will, sometimes with catastrophic changes to the future she's unable to anticipate (such as a small change in the past wiping out the family she had in the future).

The Ghost of Christmas Past transports Stan back to his youth in 1970 to re-teach him "the true meaning of Christmas", but Stan runs off to assassinate Jane Fonda, blaming her "hippie liberalism" for secularizing the season. At a Hollywood party, he happens to bump into the drug-addled Martin Scorsese and persuades him to go clean. As a result, Scorsese never directed Taxi Driver, so John Hinckley Jr. was never inspired to try and assassinate Ronald Reagan as a love offering to Jodie Foster, so Reagan's public image never got the boost it needed for him to be re-elected. The weak-willed Walter Mondale instead became President and quickly surrendered the country to the Soviets.

Butterfly of Doom / int_6afce7a4	comment	While The Umbrella Academy (2019) is basically based around this trope (along with the whole "superpowered family with issues" thing), Episodes Six and Seven of season one epitomize it. Five is at the Commission trying to find out the cause of the apocalypse, while his siblings deal with things in 2019. Luther and Allison spend some time bonding and head off to see Allison's daughter before the world ends, Diego learns the truth about Reginald's death from Grace, Klaus gets sober and sees Dave, and Vanya finds Reginald's journal and realizes that Leonard is lying to her. Unfortunately, that episode is titled "The Day that Wasn't". Five time travels to the start of that day with his news about the person set to cause the apocalypse, and erases everything that had happened. "The Day That Was" is definitely worse: without Allison there, Luther has a breakdown and gets drunk; Klaus dies (though this isn't permanent); Five collapses from an untreated injury; Vanya goes off with Leonard and leaves the city; Diego gets arrested; and Allison leaves to confront a murderer alone. It doesn't end well.

Ultimately he fails and eventually realizes that it is because he travelled back in time that the war began. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. Roberts is kind enough to show us the appalling potential consequences of a lack of the war too, though. Cybertron's corrupt government is not overthrown because the Decepticons never rose up against it and in time was hijacked by Functionalists, religious fundamentalists who enforce an increasingly strict social hierarchy with themselves firmly at the top. As time goes on they become powerful enough to bring into force 'obsolescence chips' which can insta-kill any Cybertronian not deemed useful enough - or who proves too rebellious. By the present day, Cybertron is a totalitarian police-state where constant surveillance, casual racism, and punitive mutilations are the norm. Then Rewind, whose memories were altered due to all the time travel, tried to kill Megatron's protoform in order to cause this future to come to pass. Because while it was absolutely horrific for Cybertron, it was a huge positive for the rest of the galaxy, which wasn't subjected to the horrors of 4 million years worth of Cybertron civil war. Rewind wasn't quite right in the head at the time.

Butterfly of Doom / int_6e1d5f36	comment	Comes up in several episodes of Farscape: In season three's "...Different Destinations", the crew find themselves sent back in time by a freaking out Stark while visiting a monastery saved from destruction by Peacekeepers. In addition to the Broken Pedestal for Aeryn when she learns the great hero of the battle turned out to merely be the company cook, the crew has to deal with an escalating series of alterations to the timeline with catastrophic implications for the future (including, at one point, the planet ceasing to exist) as they attempt to keep events on their historical course (Harvey having told John of the theory of time's elasticity, and that events steered near-enough to course will lead to time self-repairing). Eventually they set things more or less right and return home, but the women and children who originally survived instead ended up being slaughtered in the "fixed" timeline, and the crew is unable to go back again to save them. The danger of this is further highlighted by the Einstein in season four's "Terra Firma," warning that using a wormhole to travel to a point in time in one's universe before the time one departs can have disastrous consequences. The following episode, "Kansas", follows up on this when John accidentally travels to his own past and his arrival somehow changes time so his father is fated to fly the doomed Challenger mission. The crew manages to avoid making any major ripples as they trigger a series of events which Crichton recalls led to his father withdrawing from the mission (specifically shacking up as a teenager with Karen Shaw in the back of his dad's four-bynote actually Chiana in the back of John's truck, with Noranti using a bit of mind control to alter the exact memory at an abandoned house, which caught fire and nearly killed him, only for his dad to rescue him and beg off the mission until he recovered). By the end, the episode actually wavers on how much their actions are avoiding the Butterfly of Doom, or are actually the result of a Predestination Paradox.

It has, in its time, created demons, assemble the Godhand (its demigod-like emissaries), controlled human history and eventually shattered the boundary between fantasy and reality to disastrous effect. How? It distributed Behelits to just the right people at just the right times; human nature and the laws of physics (down to the last detail) took care of the rest.

Butterfly of Doom / int_74059a6a	comment	The End of Eternity: The constant changing of the potential timelines by a secret trans-temporal time agency resulted not in unpredictable chaos but in a static history, because the time agency tried to erase, with the best intentions, every invention, trend or development that they regarded a danger to mankind and human life in general... erasing wars, but also deliberately killing all attempts at space exploration over the millennia. In the end, only the destruction of the time agency itself allowed the restoration of mankind's original timeline: a life full of risks in search of the Unknown, but also with the potential to colonize the galaxy and survive into the distant future after the Earth's sun had gone nova.

The Quantum Weather Butterfly uses its ability to affect localized weather phenomenon as a form of self-defense, and possibly a way of attracting mates. "Hey baby, look at this thunderstorm!" (And of course, Pratchett Shows His Work by pointing out that the fractal nature of the edge of the Quantum Weather Butterfly's wing makes it quite finite in area, but nearly infinite in perimeter, which is one of the seeming paradoxes of fractal surfaces in real life.) Alas, no. While probably a deliberate 'error' attributed to Discworld logicians, the statement in the book is actually less mathematically sound:

Butterfly of Doom / int_745711f9	comment	The Alternate History Forum, home of Look to the West and Decades of Darkness among others, is divided on the issue. There are purists ("step on a butterfly and everything changes") and non-purists ("consequences of an event ought to follow on logically: things take a while to change, and sequences of reasons can be made"). People who don't include any "ripple" of changes are laughed at. To quote veteran member Jared "In 1618, Australia will be discovered on time and the effects [of a sedentary yam-farming aboriginal civilization] will spread. Anyone asking "Great! How does this changed Australia affect World War 2?" will be fed to the blobfish." This is parodied in Reds!: A Revolutionary Timeline, where the alternate history version of the Alternate History Forum appears, and the members discuss the alternate timeline... and the exact same kinds of arguments crop up. However, a key general note: the 'of doom' aspect is avoided in all but deliberately dystopic timelines (things change, often without directly described causal relations to the original point of divergence — but the changed things are often a mix of good and bad).

As it turns out, her effort to bust her brothers not only created a wave of child-proofing hysteria, but it causes the helicopter that Perry the Platypus grappled onto to escape from Dr. Doofenshmirtz to change course since it was part of one of the services Linda called to have the boys rescued, and to get himself injured by Doofenshmirtz's evil scheme backfiring, instead of Doofenshmirtz like in the original timeline. This allowed Doofenshmirtz to ride the wave of hysteria and take over the Tri-State Area, turning it into a ruined industrial dystopia where fun and creativity are outlawed, kids are kept in People Jars until they reach adulthood, and everyone is forced to change their name to "Joe".

OOO and Den-O chase a monster back to the era of the original Kamen Rider and accidentally leave behind an O Medal.

Again, this means Shocker is in charge of the world in the present, and almost all the Kamen Riders are their willing soldiers — including Kamen Rider Drive, until he remembers the original timeline and starts trying to fix things.

Butterfly of Doom / int_8a8fb433	comment	TimeRiders is centred around stopping people from a seemingly hopeless future from changing the past. Only the odd book has no massive effect on the future due to something being changed in the past as its main plot. In TimeRiders, Kramer tries to lead Hitler to victory and manages to eventually take over Nazi Germany himself. However, when the Time Riders try to gather information by sending two members into 1955, a time portal mishap leads to a couple of German soldiers fusing together and dying. After seeing their corpses, Kramer eventually goes insane and commits suicide by activating a nuclear "doomsday weapon", leaving nothing but savage mutants on the planet. In Day of the Predator, an assassin (later proven to be a Hitman with a Heart when he doesn't kill Chan) is sent to kill young Edward Chan, one of the biggest contributors to the invention of time travel. Thankfully, we see very little of the Bad Future that would occur. But when the humans accidentally wind up in dinosaur times, a previously undiscovered dino species watches them and learns to talk and use tools. As a result, New York City of 2001 is replaced by a jungle containing a nomadic tribe of humanoid reptiles. In Doomsday Code, the Time Riders find themselves in the middle of a History-changing battle. Time is in a state of flux until the battle is over. In Eternal War, the Eternal War in question is the result of Abraham Lincoln not being around to win the American Civil War. In Gates of Rome, the Project Exodus team tries to secretly influence the Roman Empire to adopt democracy. Instead, everyone but Rashim is killed and Emperor Caligula uses the support units the team had as his personal bodyguards, leaving him to rule for far too long. In City of Shadows, the team run into Jack the Ripper and figure out that they have to let him get away with his murders; he is actually an aristocrat, and the discovery of that would leave London in ruins.

Butterfly of Doom / int_8c2d20ca	comment	In Lilith the protagonist travels through time to prevent the germination of the Triacanto, a parasite that will decimate mankind and force it to live underground-and to do so she has to find every single first bearer of every infection strain before it matures and starts infecting others and neutralize it in a way that will provoke their death, fully knowing that both this act and whatever she does to destroy the Triacanto will cause small and large alterations of the timeline, even going on the mission in the full knowledge she'll prevent her own birth. By the time she finally tracks down the source of the Triacanto, the Danes kept colonies in North America until they lost them to Britain in the 18th century, the defeat of Cortez' expedition against Aztecs with horses, steel weapons and resistance to smallpox caused the birth of a hybrid Aztec-Spanish culture after Spain managed to overrun Mexico anyway, Japan started expanding after Tokugawa Ieyasu died at Sekigahara and went on to conquer Korea and colonize North America to the Rockies, Joseon turtle ships (sent in a failed attempt at getting British help to regain Korea) intercepted the Crossing of the Delaware leading to the defeat of the Colonials in the "Rebellion of the Thirteen Colonies" and Britain eventually conquering North America to the Rockies, and the Great War did not start until 1933, after Germany fagocitated Austria and the Tsar found himself a puppet of the Duma. Then Lilith returns to America after the Revolutionary War and meets up with the survivors of the US Founding Fathers trying to get Japanese help for their cause.... Subverted in "The Stone Frontline"-while the circumstances prevent her from neutralizing the Triacanto before it matures, forcing her to kill dozens of people to neutralize it, she fails to alter the course of history as everyone she kills would have died anyway at that precise point in time, either shortly before or during the Battle of Caporetto. "End of the Hunt" reveals that there had been previous Hunters before Lilith, and each of them caused their own alterations before failing to destroy the source of the Triacanto.

Over the course of the trilogy, changing the past has nothing but positive effects for most of the characters. But not intentionally. In fact, almost all of Marty's intended timeline changes end up nearly erasing him from existence. All the positive changes came from unintentional changes — most notably his "Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan" schtick, intended to spook George into asking Lorraine out to the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, instead gave him confidence to become a professional science-fiction author.

Some things were better, some things were worse; World War II, of course, was one of the affected areas. Much of the conflict of the book is over whether to restore the world or keep it the new way (in which Hitler was just a driver but the world appears to be a fascist nightmare with the Yeerks much closer to winning), and what justifies preserving bad pieces of history. There was also another storyline where we find out what would have happened if the main characters hadn't run into the alien who gave them superpowers and warned them about an alien invasion. In fact, Cassie's history teacher Ms. Paloma makes a reference to the butterfly thing in Book 7, The Stranger. See here.

Unfortunately, Mike dies in this alternate fate-line and his Jerkass older brother Eddie ends up on the SOL instead. Crow goes back in time again to tell the earlier version of himself not to warn Mike, and, as a result, the earlier version of himself gets stuck in the past where he will presumably remain, as an employee of the cheese factory where Young Mike worked. In another episode, featuring The Time Travelers, Gypsy quizes Tom on what to do if he found a portal to the 1920s. When he suggests that he'd go back in time and become the greatest gangster ever, Gypsy proclaims he just caused the future to become a nuclear wasteland. When Tom calls her on that, Gypsy says that it always happens. In the Prince of Space episode, Bobo gets sucked into a time portal and Pearl, who normally despises him, insists upon getting him back by citing this trope; she's concerned that Bobo mucking about in time will erase her favorite pasttime, slot machines. Three episodes later in Invasion of the Neptune Men, Pearl is fully prepared to leave Bobo behind in Ancient Rome until Observer brings this trope up again, this time suggesting that he might erase Pearl's favorite snack food, Chicken in a Biskit, which galvanizes her to action.

Butterfly of Doom / int_985ad25d	comment	The entire Future Trunks Saga in Dragon Ball Super is one big butterfly effect that messes up two timelines. As Goku Black and Future Zamasu points out, it was Future Trunks' time traveling that allowed their rise since he created a timeline where Goku didn't die from the heart virus. If Goku had died, Present Zamasu would have never become interested in Goku and take his body using the Super Dragon Balls, which leads to Future Zamasu joining his past counterpart, killing the gods in every universe, and them eventually attacking Earth to punished the Earthlings for Trunks' crime. Even more, Goku would have never even met Zamasu if Trunks didn't return to the past again to get help fighting Goku Black, since Goku only went to U10 to see if Zamasu was Black, leading to a Stable Time Loop. Some minor examples also occurred during the Android Saga of Dragon Ball Z. Future Trunks' presence in the past results in, among other things, Goku contracting the heart virus six months later than he was originally supposed to, Androids 19 and 20 showing up at South City instead of 17 and 18, Androids 17 and 18 activating Android 16, and Androids 17 and 18 being stronger than their alternate counterparts. It also results in a timeline where Trunks never encountered Cell in the past and came back to defeat 17 and 18 in the future, only for Cell to kill him and take his time machine, causing more problems in the past. Needless to say, this whole trope is a slight point of angst for Trunks for obvious reasons, though fortunately for him, the end result at the end of the saga is largely much more positive than the future he came from partly because of this trope - the Z-Fighters are more prepared for the Androids than they were otherwise, Goku dies only after sacrificing himself to prevent Cell from blowing up the Earth (and decides to not come back despite the Dragon Balls being around to revive him), any damage and deaths are undone by the Dragon Balls because Goku is around to recruit Dende as the new Kami of Earth, and Android 16 turns out to a Morality Pet for his cyborg "siblings", who already decided they'd rather just cause mischief and chase after Goku rather than start a killing spree (or even deliberately killing anyone aside from Goku), eventually resulting in them both undergoing a Heelâ€“Face Turn, which obviously has further consequences later on in Super when Android 17 of all people ends up being the MVP of the Tournament of Power by virtue of being literally the last fighter standing and providing crucial support to Goku and Frieza in their final clash against Jiren, nevermind having the awareness and empathy to wish for the restoration of the erased universes, which ended up saving everyone from immediate destruction. Though, from the point of view of the the actual overseer of the timelines, the Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa, Future Trunks' actions were ultimately for the best in the long run, and outright tells him that the good he has done outweighs the bad, whether it be intentional or otherwise, in contrast to the opinion of Goku Black and Future Zamasu, and that her only punishment for him causing a timeline split is to recruit him to the Time Patrol to keep more mallicious bad actors from altering the time stream further, though for Future Trunks, this isn't really a punishment since he enjoys his new job.

We don't see the younger couple, but Carl leaves a note for them about companies to invest in that will become massively successful in the future. When Carl and Steve return to the present day, the Winslows are obscenely wealthy (also, Rosie O'Donnell is president). However, Harriet has grown distant and is now seeking a divorce. When Carl asks how will that affect their kids Eddie and Laura, she has no idea who he's talking about because they never had children: "Sure I would have wanted a little boy or girl, but you were always too busy wheelin' and dealin'." Naturally, Carl has no desire to live in this new reality.

Butterfly of Doom / int_9ab32c13	comment	In the Pony POV Series, This trope begins causing problems for Queen Chrysalis. She managed to see how things turned out for her prime self and altered her plans accordingly. However, she failed to take into account that her new choices would cause others to make new choices and so on, which is ultimately a major reason her plans fail. She puts on a bigger attempt to conceal her evil nature, including giving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Prince Blueblood to earn the Mane Six's favor. Not only does this end up tipping off Twilight anyway despite her not making her canon self's mistakes, but even after brainwashing Twilight instead of sending her to the mines, it's Blueblood who ends up rescuing Cadence and exposing her in the Wedding Hall precisely because she gave him said speech. She also just fired her Bride's Maids and making the Mane Six them from the get go instead of waiting and not brainwashing them, as that was ultimately a waste of her time in canon. Said bride's maids ultimately figure out what's going on, and rescue the Mane Six from being captured when Chrysalis goes berserk in the Wedding Hall following Blueblood's interference. While this does allow her to take over and occupy Canterlot for far longer, in the long run her changes result in Cadence overthrowing her as Queen of the Changelings and her death, which causes her to be reincarnated and her original persona and self being destroyed in the process. Discord is smart enough to know better than alter major historical events even when he has the opportunity to do so, as he knows unless they're altered in a very well thought out manner (which he lacks the patience for) they'll cause this trope to come into effect. In part, this is because he's Chaos and thus this trope falls into his domain.

Without the Romulans or any outside interference against the Dominion, the Starfleet-Klingon alliance would inevitably be defeated, with the Dominion even invading Federation worlds like Earth to crush their spirit and eventually destroying the Romulan empire. However, the Dominion would be weakened by both the war effort and the morphonic virus that crippled the Founders, breaking the Dominion into rival factions and leaving them and the galaxy vulnerable to the Borg Collective. said, it can also be argued that even without the evidence of an invasion, the Romulans wouldn't have stood by and allowed the Federation to get destroyed, and they were already prepared for war against the Dominion since they were able to destroy 15 bases immediately after declaration. However, the Romulans do tend to overestimate themselves, so they could easily enter the war too late to shift the tide towards the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

Butterfly of Doom / int_a183d57f	comment	Futurama: In "Roswell That Ends Well", the Planet Express crew goes back in time to become the Roswell Incident. When Professor Farnsworth finds out that Fry's grandfather is there, he gives him the classic advice for people going back in time: "Don't do anything that will change history. Unless you're supposed to do it, in which case, for the love of God, don't not do it." Of course he does by killing his grandfather but the effects are minimal because he realizes that he is not vanishing, so his grandfather can't really be his ancestor. However, he takes the extra step of thinking this disqualifies his grandmother from being his grandmother and sleeps with her, inadvertently becoming his own grandfather. Farnsworth gets fed up after this incident and decides to just attack Roswell and steal their ship back. "Screw history! Let's just get the hell out of here!" When that plan actually works, the Professor triumphantly shouts "Choke on THAT, causality!" In Bender's Big Score, time travel plays a huge role in the plot. There's even mention of a failsafe in the universe itself that erases impossibilities created by time travel, like the same person meeting themselves, that prevents the butterfly effect from having a dangerous effect. It comes up again in "The Late Phillip J. Fry", where the Professor makes a time machine that only travels forward in time resulting in seeing the big bang twice as the universe resets itself and squashing the current timeline versions of themselves, stopping a paradox.

Butterfly of Doom / int_a606596a	comment	Played straight in Chrono Cross, although most of it is just Serge. Once you sort through Chrono Cross's labyrinthine plot, it retroactively applies it to Chrono Trigger in a huge way. In a nutshell, after Crono and friends defeat Lavos and create a good future, Lavos in the past - in an attempt to avert its own destruction - pulls a supercomputer called FATE from the newly created future back in time, to fight with an organic computer that the planet has called in from an alternate future where Lavos never landed on the planet. FATE wins and, in an attempt to make sure that its current existence doesn't prevent its future creation and, thus, create a time paradox, it starts guiding human events to make sure everything happens according to plan. The Lavos that was defeated by Crono, meanwhile, has merged with Schala and formed into a being that is attempting to devour all of spacetime. Schala, for reasons that aren't really clear, winds up altering spacetime herself in order to save an infant Serge from a panther demon, causing Serge to mess up FATE's plan and suddenly become the centrepiece to approximately two dozen people's schemes for saving, destroying, or conquering the world. Basically, Crono altering the future by killing Lavos causes a dozen or so beings with the ability to manipulate time to immediately launch into an elaborate web of overlapping gambit schemes to try and ensure that the new future does or does not come to pass. And that's the ''short'' version!

Starting in Episode 3, Max makes changes to the past that have unexpected ripple effects. Most notably, preventing the death of Chloe's father creates an alternate timeline in which Chloe is severely disabled and in constant pain and her parents are being bankrupted by medical bills. Finally, in episode 5, when the tornado from Max's visions hits Arcadia Bay, Chloe realizes that Max saving her life is what caused the storm destroying the city. Max has to make the choice to either go back to when she took the butterfly picture and let Nathan kill Chloe, or sacrifice Arcadia Bay to keep her best friend/girlfriend alive.

However a small change in the present he does not know about will ruin the plan. Similarly, when he deploys too many apostles the future becomes too mutable for him to read. Orsted is using a "Groundhog Day" Loop in an attempt to kill Hitogami. Through multiple loops he has more or less identified all of the potential butterflies but two. Orsted has identified all of the apostles except for one, and each loop that single hidden apostle always disrupts his plans. This ultimate trump card is the seemingly-harmless Gisu. The Rewind Miko, a girl whose unique ability lets her remember each of the previous loops. Usually she dies before she can have an impact on events but something Orsted changed in the last iteration ended up saving her life. When a boy she had come to love died she tried to rewrite history with her power; this caused Rudeus's birth and the Mana Calamity in the next loop, completely upending Orsted's knowledge.

This creates a Bad Future in which Timmy's dad is a Big Brother-esque dictator who enforces happiness on the population and has a major complex about the lost trophy. Timmy goes back and fixes the mess by winning the trophy in his father's stead, and everything returns to normal. Well...except that Timmy and the Internet have swapped names. In the other episode, "The Secret Origin Of Denzel Crocker!", Timmy travels back to March 15, 1972 to try and prevent the incident that turned Denzel Crocker in the fairy-obsessed miser he is today. Timmy instead ends up causing said incident, and is then banned from ever returning to March 1972. In the process, he also somehow causes George McGovern to win the 1972 presidential election, as he's then warned against interfering with said election win despite having caused it in the first place. In "Twistory", Timmy wishes the Founding Fathers to the modern day to help him write a report. It eventually results in a future where the American Revolution failed and electricity hasn't been harnessed, forcing Timmy to go back and fix it.

Because FTL travel for most relies on going into the Warp, which has at best an orthogonal relationship to physics in realspace, he arrives home before he left to go to war. He then did what he felt was reasonable (for an Ork), he decided to kill his doppleganger to have a spare of his favorite gun. The resulting confusion made the Waaagh! stop in its tracks.

Butterfly of Doom / int_c0c57462	comment	Averted by Chrono Trigger in that, while major changes to the timeline (such as the entire plot of killing Lavos) will, of course, have major effects, minor things, such as opening a treasure chest in the past, will, at most, have the effect of making the corresponding treasure chest empty in the future, yet you can get the future chests, then go back in time and open the past ones with no consequence... Killing monsters doesn't do a thing; they'll even reappear when you enter the area. Played straight with Porre in Chrono Cross. Remember the small country whose people you told not to be selfish? They destroy Guardia with the help of Dalton, are implied to have killed Crono and Marle, and gain a strong influence on Zenan. Played straight in Chrono Cross, although most of it is just Serge. Once you sort through Chrono Cross's labyrinthine plot, it retroactively applies it to Chrono Trigger in a huge way. In a nutshell, after Crono and friends defeat Lavos and create a good future, Lavos in the past - in an attempt to avert its own destruction - pulls a supercomputer called FATE from the newly created future back in time, to fight with an organic computer that the planet has called in from an alternate future where Lavos never landed on the planet. FATE wins and, in an attempt to make sure that its current existence doesn't prevent its future creation and, thus, create a time paradox, it starts guiding human events to make sure everything happens according to plan. The Lavos that was defeated by Crono, meanwhile, has merged with Schala and formed into a being that is attempting to devour all of spacetime. Schala, for reasons that aren't really clear, winds up altering spacetime herself in order to save an infant Serge from a panther demon, causing Serge to mess up FATE's plan and suddenly become the centrepiece to approximately two dozen people's schemes for saving, destroying, or conquering the world. Basically, Crono altering the future by killing Lavos causes a dozen or so beings with the ability to manipulate time to immediately launch into an elaborate web of overlapping gambit schemes to try and ensure that the new future does or does not come to pass. And that's the ''short'' version!

It's also notable for the protagonist not only learning that messing with time can have disastrous consequences, but also realizing that he himself is the product of someone tinkering with fate. The world cannot be righted unless he does not exist. Only in the director's cut, however, not the original theatrical release ending.

It turns out that it was all caused by The Flash going back in time and saving his mother's life. Somehow this resulted in such changes as Bruce Wayne having been shot by the mugger while his parents are still alive, Wonder Woman and Aquaman being murderous dictators, Cyborg replacing Superman as the world's #1 Big Good superhero, and Frankenstein killing Hitler. This is then averted by the ending, where Pandora uses Flash in order to create a new timeline which is different but no worse than the old one (though don't ask comic fans their opinion on that).

Butterfly of Doom / int_c1df815e	comment	Achron allows for rather odd situations involving chronoporters (time-teleporters) and battles. For example, by sending units back in time to fight alongside themselves, if the original units are damaged in the ensuing battle, the future versions will be also damaged when the next timewave comes by. Eventually, this can resolve into a much weaker army than was originally used. Also, these sorts of time-manipulation tricks can allow for armies to go back to attack economic or production structures to disrupt opponents. For example, killing that one marine who built all the resource processors that made the construction of the army that's harassing you in the future even possible. So, by killing one marine, you defeated an entire army. note Of course, the opponent can retroactively protect the marine or even send one back from the future to ensure its own existence.It should be noted that much of the game is built on these sorts of tactics. It should also be noted that it's not segregated to the story: you can play with these temporal shenanigans yourself. In multiplayer.

Butterfly of Doom / int_c35714d6	comment	Blackadder Back and Forth is a brilliant example of this trope. In the story, Baldrick (accidentally, Blackadder meaning it as a scam to win a bet with his guests) invents a working time machine. They're sent on a dare to use it and to bring back a catalogue of different items including a centurion's helmet and the Duke of Wellington's boots. After Blackadder succeeds, it emerges that he has changed the course of history as a result: After finally arriving at the battle of Waterloo, he squashes the Duke of Wellington with his time machine just before the battle begins, steals his famous boots and causes the French to win the fight. As a result, Blackadder returns to an alternate-reality Britain which has been ruled by the French for 200 years — as a result of his tampering — following Napoleon Bonaparte's victory at Waterloo, and just in time for garlic pudding. He becomes especially disconcerted when he sees Archdeacon Darling wearing a tutu and exclaims "We've got to save Britain!" before going back in time to try and rectify everything. He also has a run-in with William Shakespeare, earlier on in the story, whom he attacks for the interminable suffering of school pupils that would happen for the next 400 years as a result of having to study his plays at length, leaving William completely discouraged as a playwright but dropping his ballpoint pen in the process. Later on, in the alternate reality, William Shakespeare is revealed to have been known only for "inventing the ballpoint pen." Eventually he learns to manipulate history consciously so he becomes the king in the present and marries Maid Marian.

Butterfly of Doom / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor has mellowed a bit when it comes to messing around with history. The First Doctor, in "An Unearthly Child" is so paranoid about the possible ramifications of this trope that he is convinced that the mere idea that a device such as the TARDIS exists could irreparably change the course of human history. In "Father's Day", Rose goes back in time to visit her father before his death but ends up saving him from his fatal accident. The resulting tear in the fabric of reality lets through a host of aliens who feed off time energy and kill a lot of people. In "The Shakespeare Code", the Doctor lampshades this to put Martha at ease in her first-time time-travelling. "The Fires of Pompeii" both plays this straight and subverts it. Donna asks the Doctor why he can't warn the city of the impending volcanic eruption, only for him to say that it's a fixed point in time that must not be tampered with. At the end, as the volcano is erupting, Donna pleads with the Doctor to help, so he rescues one family (the one they've gotten to know throughout the episode) and puts them outside of the city with what appears to be no consequences. While the show is mostly immune to this trope, with characters messing through time willy-nilly, it is used occasionally. The episode "Turn Left" is probably the most striking example, with an It's a Wonderful Plot twist. The butterfly in question, as the title indicates, was turning right instead of left at an intersection. In "The Pandorica Opens", it happens in a big way when the TARDIS explodes and rips up time, so much so that every star in the universe is never born and he only reason life exist on Earth is that the TARDIS is exploding at all points in time. To fix it, the Doctor has to take the Pandorica to the TARDIS and have it explode, sending all the atoms of the old universe everywhere in every point of time, effectively Big Bang 2, but he will be stuck on the other side of the rip. He gets better, though. In "The Wedding of River Song", River Song tries to subvert reality by not killing the Doctor. The result of this is that all of time and space coexist in the same eternal instant, with anything unable to happen until the proper events of the timeline are carried through. Mocked in "Thin Ice", where new companion Bill worries about doing this. The Doctor assures her she must be careful, like their other poor companion who just stepped on a butterfly and erased himself from existence! That's why she can't remember him. The lesson being that little things don't have that much of an impact. "Rosa": The villain, a racist from the far future who can't kill due to an implanted Restraining Bolt, is trying to prevent the Montgomery Bus Boycott from happening. To do so, he has to resort to other means, like arranging for a different bus driver, or straight-up vandalizing a bus, and the Doctor and her friends have to work hard to keep history on its rightful course. It's directly stated that history is created by small decisions.

Butterfly of Doom / int_d78f90c5	comment	Dragon Ball Multiverse: Many of the universes where the villains won are the result of a seemingly minor change in the timelines that snowballed into the heroes losing. Universes 1 and 10 had the Kaioshin eradicate every threat they found. Freeza being dead, the Saiyans never had a technology or power boost and never became space pirates. Universe 3 diverged when Bardock put to good use his prophetic visions and managed to take Freeza down, with Saiyans taking over the galaxy, Kakarot never being sent to Earth, and then Raichi taking revenge on the Saiyans. Piccolo Daimao also fused with Kami, through yet unknown circumstances, with an evil Piccolo being the dominant personality. Universe 4 diverged when Majin Buu opted to quickly absorb Vegeta when he threatened to remove Fat Buu from his cocoon rather than plead with him. Goku is then forced to fight on his own, where he is horribly outclassed; even his Hail-Mary of expending his full power to blow Buu up failed miserably and Buu simply absorbed him as well. Universe 6 diverged when Goku did not warp back to Earth to save Gohan against Bojack and give him a pep talk. Universe 7 diverged when all the Nameks decided to fuse into one being to take down Freeza, losing forever the ability to create Dragonballs in the process. Universe 8, where Freeza and his family won, came about because Krilin killed Vegeta on Earth before Goku could stop him. Since Vegeta doesn't show up on Namek, he's not around to provide an extra distraction to Freeza or his henchmen, which eventually culminates in Freeza killing everyone on Namek (except Goku, who remained alive to destroy Freeza's capital). Universe 13, where Kakarot never hit his head and thus never lost his Saiyan mentality. So, instead of him becoming the cheerful and kindhearted man in canon, he becomes a ruthless killer who is more than a little mentally unbalanced. It goes without saying that humanity isn't around in U13 anymore. Universe 14 diverged when Trunks never came back to the future after his U17 counterpart got killed by Cell, thus ensuring the cyborgs could have free reign. Universe 16 diverged when Vegito made the choice to not remove his shield aura effect when inside Boo, and remained fused forever, freeing everyone and destroying Kid Boo before he could destroy the Earth. Also, Enma did not listen to his request to reincarnate him into Oob, so in this universe there is no Boo. Universe 17 diverged when Vegeta did not strike Cell in the back and distract him. This allowed Cell to overpower SSJ2 Gohan. Universe 19 diverged when Raditz killed Goku on Earth, according to the french novelization. This led to them attacking Helior with reduced numbers, and Helior probably weathered the assault, and stepped up their game. Universe 20 diverged when Broly survived his second coming, after being thrown into space by the heroes, and did not burn in the Sun.

Stewie eventually decides to go back to the very point where their past selves first time traveled and he shoots Brian in the kneecaps while screaming at him and his past self to go back home. Current Brian realizes that doing this will erase their existence since the time traveling shenanigans would have never happened.

Butterfly of Doom / int_ec28245c	comment	Some minor examples also occurred during the Android Saga of Dragon Ball Z. Future Trunks' presence in the past results in, among other things, Goku contracting the heart virus six months later than he was originally supposed to, Androids 19 and 20 showing up at South City instead of 17 and 18, Androids 17 and 18 activating Android 16, and Androids 17 and 18 being stronger than their alternate counterparts. It also results in a timeline where Trunks never encountered Cell in the past and came back to defeat 17 and 18 in the future, only for Cell to kill him and take his time machine, causing more problems in the past. Needless to say, this whole trope is a slight point of angst for Trunks for obvious reasons, though fortunately for him, the end result at the end of the saga is largely much more positive than the future he came from partly because of this trope - the Z-Fighters are more prepared for the Androids than they were otherwise, Goku dies only after sacrificing himself to prevent Cell from blowing up the Earth (and decides to not come back despite the Dragon Balls being around to revive him), any damage and deaths are undone by the Dragon Balls because Goku is around to recruit Dende as the new Kami of Earth, and Android 16 turns out to a Morality Pet for his cyborg "siblings", who already decided they'd rather just cause mischief and chase after Goku rather than start a killing spree (or even deliberately killing anyone aside from Goku), eventually resulting in them both undergoing a Heelâ€“Face Turn, which obviously has further consequences later on in Super when Android 17 of all people ends up being the MVP of the Tournament of Power by virtue of being literally the last fighter standing and providing crucial support to Goku and Frieza in their final clash against Jiren, nevermind having the awareness and empathy to wish for the restoration of the erased universes, which ended up saving everyone from immediate destruction.

Butterfly of Doom / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: Another fine example of how one man's repeated attempts at changing the past to find the "perfect" timeline he accidentally erased leading to ever more disastrous consequences is the two-parter episode "Year of Hell" from the 4th season. Things are spiraling out of control, precisely because the timeship is based on the idea of Laplace's Demon which is contradicted by both Quantum Mechanics and Chaos Theory. He keeps erasing entire species from existence to restore his species to their former glory, only for unanticipated consequences (one species introduced antibodies that saved his from being decimated by a plague, another prevented some other species from conquering them, etc.) to leave his species still weak or actually worse off. In the end the original timeline can only be restored by destruction of the timeship (which had existed "outside time" while aboard centuries of subjective time passed), which Captain Janeway brings about by ramming it with the Voyager, destroying both ships in the process and "resetting" the timeline back one year.

Butterfly of Doom / int_f01358c3	comment	Inverted in The Time Machine (2002), wherein Alexander Hartdegen's repeated attempts to go back in time to save his fiancÃ©e Emma inevitably go wrong. Later, the Uber-Morlock explains that the reason he cannot save Emma is that her death was his prime motivation for building the time machine.

Butterfly of Doom / int_f10a65b	comment	Legends of Tomorrow: The existence of time traveling superheroes means that the Legends can never make the timeline exactly the way it originally was — it's always a case of Close-Enough Timeline. That being said, there are certain moments/events that they can never time travel to for fear of risking this, since they are so pivotal to shaping history, such as anything having to do with Jesus, including his crucifixion and eventual death.

Butterfly of Doom / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed (1998): In "Centennial Charmed", Cole remakes reality in an attempt to get Phoebe back. In this altered timeline, fourth sister Paige was killed as a teenager which meant when Prue died there was no way to restore the Charmed Ones' Power of Three. As a result, there was nobody on the side of Good strong enough to defeat the Source of Evil and the world is now almost completely overrun by demons. Cole and Phoebe are still married, but she hates him and only stays to ensure he doesn't have Piper (the only sister she has left) killed.

Butterfly of Doom / int_f41d2302	comment	Though, from the point of view of the the actual overseer of the timelines, the Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa, Future Trunks' actions were ultimately for the best in the long run, and outright tells him that the good he has done outweighs the bad, whether it be intentional or otherwise, in contrast to the opinion of Goku Black and Future Zamasu, and that her only punishment for him causing a timeline split is to recruit him to the Time Patrol to keep more mallicious bad actors from altering the time stream further, though for Future Trunks, this isn't really a punishment since he enjoys his new job.

Butterfly of Doom / int_f42befdb	comment	In Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers the titular villain briefly time travels to the past to free himself from ice he'd accidentally trapped himself in, only to come back to the present and find it a ruined wasteland. While he's not entirely sure what he changed, the reader is informed of how this happened: the night he ended up traveling back to was the same night that George and Harold successfully managed to terrify a group of bullies into changing their ways, but since Tippy appeared in front of them in his time machine (which coincidentally looks like the ghost George and Harold made up), they ended up going insane instead. Mr. Krupp was blamed and swiftly fired; since he wasn't around for George and Harold to hypnotize into becoming Captain Underpants, the villains from the first three books went unopposed, ultimately destroying the world. Thankfully, Tippy manages to fix his mistake.

Butterfly of Doom / int_f53022c6	comment	Averted in Feng Shui, where the universe actively resists attempts to change it. To illustrate it, the sourcebook gives the classic example of a man going back in time to kill his own grandfather. If Johnny Fong goes back in time and kills his grandfather, he returns to the present to find that his name is Johnny Wong now, but nothing else has changed. In Feng Shui, world history bows to the whims of the people in control of the world's feng shui sites, and anything done by insignificant time travelers just gets corrected.

However, doing so causing the duo to wind up in an alternate universe where the entire Pacific region has been taken over by an evil version of Stitch. As the story unfolds, we quickly find out that keeping Lilo's parents alive prevented her from ever meeting Stitch, since she never had a reason to visit the pet store where she met the blue alien. And we're reminded that Stitch was created for the sake of evil, and him never meeting Lilo also consequently meant that he was never taught how to be good.
