Original SIN: my 2 cents....

Marvel's Big Event comic of the year, as you may or may not know, has been a pretty intriguing murder mystery/who-done-it kinda story. It is very interesting to talk about and speculate with. The short of it is this: The watcher (An eternal silent being who lives on the moon and observes ALL of human history, but never interferes) is murdered and Nick Fury is tasked with finding out: 1. Who did, 2. Why they did it, and 3. What they wanted or intended to gain/do by doing so. If you haven't read it, I'd recommend picking it up and although it isn't your typically superhero arc it has a noir feeling to it with a kind of subtle charm to keep you reading. 


IGN did an article talking about this event and it is a pretty good read. It catches you up on whats is going on and who is involved. Catch it here. I've had this theory for a while now about the purpose of this event and I've been talking to my buddies about it but I want to lay it out before the end to see if I guessed it.......

I wouldn't be surprised if this was all a part of the plan. I find it odd that the whole story kicked off (in issue 0) with the watcher explaining his greatest failure. He tried to evolve a race and failed. EVERY parallel universe he has searched ( and continues to search) has ALWAYS lead to that same outcome. He is silent because he is shamed. I get that.



 But WHAT IF (big what if cause this is my theory) he actually FOUND a way to avoid his ORIGINAL SIN and that included him dying (and how it could link into a galactic butterfly effect, causing the outcome he never could). And WHAT IF Nick Fury either got wind of this or was a pawn in the scheme in the first place? What if they're all just pawns in the grandscheme to stop the watcher's original sin?

 Have you ever seen the episode of FRINGE were the 'bad guy' (if you wanna call him that) could calculate a chain of events all to lead up to his intended outcome (his using a pencil to have somebody hit by a bus in a rube goldberg kinda way)......anyways the fringe analogy got me off topic but it is kinda of my point: WHAT IF ALL OF THIS is just a solution to his original problem? After all, if you could save a whole planet a the cost of just your life wouldn't it be worth it?
