Butterfly Of Doom Discussion
From YKTTW

Morgan Wick: As a subtrope of For Want Of A Nail, this is basically "the consequences are always negative". How does that not warrant merging with the For Want Of A Nail entry?

Lale:
  • This is s not necessarily For Want Of A Nail, where lacking the smallest, seemingly insignificant element ruins everything. You could be adding an element to the past that changes everything for the worst.
  • This strictly involves Time Travel.

Earnest: So... any particular reason the pic is gone? (Later) Ok, if there are no objections then I'm putting it back.

Earnest: [[Later]] Why do people dislike the Bart-butterfly so much that they cut it without explanation twice now? It was cut again by Admiral_Kelly and been replaced by a new image (though that was someone unrelated). So, for the tropers consideration, keep the new image or switch back to this one?

"No one ever suspects the butterfly."
