*** That's a great point, but you are overlooking an even greater one: one of the fundamental roles of [=MarrissaTheWriter=] magic is that the protagonists will always benefit, and a DownerEnding in which everyone but Marrissa and Wheatly is dead ([[InfantImmortality including their infant daughter]]) doesn't make that much sense.

** On the same topic: it is never once brought up that Chell, being Caroline's daughter as well, also has speshul powers. If anything, evidence suggests the contrary, as eating zombee taters made Chell into a zombie, despite one of Marrissa's powers being the prevention of such a thing.

** Not a question, but for explanation, I don't think J and K actually travelled in time when AbrahamLincoln told them to get Teen Fortress 2, since we know he was the president when they graduated from Portal High School.
