History Headscratchers / JohnDiesAtTheEnd

** They come out of the bag John is carrying. I think it's supposed to be suggested that during his time-displaced Soy Sauce high John was not only calling Dave but setting up the tools they take with them in their assault on Korrok (the same as he did with the FedEx package at the mall) as they are already in the beer truck Shitload was driving.

New entries on the bottom. '''Spoilers'''.

** The sauce? Maybe. The parallely universe? [[spoiler:Yes, but actually in reverse: Korrok is a consequence of that universe.]] The worm creatures? Yes, totally.

** Because he had bigger plans. Bigger plans that would have killed John and Dave anyway. If you mean after they come back... one assumes that [[spoiler:the explosion]] had an effect on Korrok too, despite the EldritchAbomination overtones. A better question would be why the Shadow Men don't just erase Dave and John instead.

** It's implied also that [[spoiler: They specifically have plans to use Monster Dave to further their goals. Possibly they need John for this too. Since they proved to Monster Dave that they can erase Amy from history any time they want, they more or less have him by the balls.]]

** Yea, I suspected that but... they had already sent ''two'' monster people into our world. Why were they still experimenting? From the moment they got [[spoiler:Monster Dave]] in, they were already proficient in doing that.
** The bag of fat (at least) was from the intermediary world, the pocket dimension which is and isn't part of the homeworld of John, Dave, and Amy. Until the very last example ([[spoiler: Monster Amy]], who was only in our world for a few moments and might have been about to experience snapback anyway), all of the so-called Monster People were "special cases".

** This can also be explained by Arnie [[spoiler:being dead]]. This is implied by Dave noting that Arnie saw the wig monster in the crate usually fast. [[spoiler:Something about Arnie being dead allows him to remember some of the changes and to see the wig monster more easily than most-- probably because he’s an astral body at least partly projected by Dave, something possible because of the soy sauce.]]
** Book 2 shows that changes made by the Shadow Men update almost instantly even if it should result in a paradox. [[spoiler: They erase Amy's hand resulting in Amy having the ghost hand that allowed them to reach that point in the first place.]] Too many changes happening at once means that some people will remember things one way while everyone else will think it's always been that way.

** The book hangs some vague lampshading on this. Everything created by Korrok is by nature chaotic and gets repelled by symbols of order, such as music and objects of worship. ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve and YourMindMakesItReal may also be involved. It's also implied [[spoiler:by Molly's message]] that there may be a benevolent higher power that subtly works against Korrok, so it's possible these symbols may actually have tangible power behind them.

** Korrok has been built across millions of parallel dimensions. The version Dave and John meet in Shit Narnia is not the first.
