You know what's funny to me about Bioshock Infinite...
Before I
played it, I'd had the ending spoiled to me by /v/, except that I'd
misinterpreted the spoilers and concocted an astoundingly better
alternative story that never was.
See, I knew that Comstock was
Booker but I'd somehow taken that to mean that Booker went through the
events of Bioshock Infinite, then there was a big reveal or some
climactic event towards the end after which Booker has a drastic change
in character and then travels back in time to set things right in his
own way in the new persona of Comstock. There were even small things
that pointed to this possibility in the game--like how Comstock knew to
be on the lookout for someone with AD on their hand.
I was so
excited to reach the ending to see what dramatic reveal was going to be
what set the plot of the game in motion. It wasn't until Booker killed
Comstock that I realized this was the ending I was going to get. Then
all the bullshit scenes that make negative sense like in the OP image
was the shit cherry on top of the cake.
I literally couldn't
believe the game thought it was "deep story" to insult my intelligence
by implying the events of the game that just happened--that tells you
there are infinite parallel universes--is dumb enough to insist it could
erase all of them with something as simple and dumb as drowning one
particular instance of Booker.
What a joke.
