BritBllt: Removing this one...

  • Uniquely averted in Code Lyoko. Once someone dies, it's permanent, even if the timeline is changed. Presumably they just drop dead in the new timeline.
    • Although it was never put to the test, and possibly contradicted by one episode ("Triple Trouble") where people were Taken for Granite. So maybe Jérémie was wrong with this theory, or it could only apply to the Lyoko Warriors (since they have Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory).

For one thing, listing aversions doesn't make sense, because an aversion, by definition, usually means it's not an example. But also, I think the entry's misunderstanding the trope. This isn't about altering the past to erase someone's death, it's about avoiding someone's death by sending them to another era (thus fulfilling history's claim that they disappeared and presumably died). While the above aversion is interesting, it's averting a different time travel trope. I might move it to You Can't Fight Fate or something similar...

Hmm, Ontological Inertia seems the best fit. Off it goes!
