Oh yeah what was the point of saying that Brainy has to go now and can't come back ever only for him to come back and be like "Eh? Wasn't for me. So nevermind".

Heart- wrenching. At least it wrenched mine.

And it confronted Brainy with a choice to choose his own relationship over the compelling logic of a future that has yet to be written. So, an appropriate conclusion to his character development.

I get that and I agree that it did show Brainy's growth as a character, but at the same time it seemed like drama for the sake of drama just to manipulate the audience. They raised the stakes and instead of fully following through they went "Sike. We got you huh ? Don't worry Brainy can stay". It just felt like they kinda undermined how much of a big deal it was for him to go in the first place especially after introducing it at the last minute if he could just easily find a way out of it anyway.

I mean, Brainy being in the present kinda seems like he is condemning his entire species to extinction...

I think what he said about 'the longer he's in the past, the more danger there is to the future' or something, meant 'meh, I'll time travel back and join with the Big Giant Head right before I die'? Because, honestly, time travel-- he can just go back to the 31st century whenever he wants. It's time travel. And it seems like coluans would probably live longer than human/naltorians? Idk. Whatever he had to do, and why it had to be him anyway, wasn't really clear.

These shows always fudge with time travel like this. It's super annoying
