I'm also fascinated at how many are convinced/obsessed/utterly sure Skylar went to the future with zero evidence that one it happened, or two it's even possible to go forward in time.
A tattoo needs quite a while to heal. Skylar got three
BIG tattoos which take several weeks and multiple visits to the tattoo artist. All in the span of a week she supposedly spent in a cabin deep in the woods.
That is the reason why it is doubted that the Skylar we met just went dark for a while without any conspiracy at all.
Get a girlfriend with no tattoos, convince her to get her arms and a flank tattooed and then try to touch those after a week.
You will end up with severe hearing impairment and at least hurting cheeks. If you are lucky.
If it is possible or not to go forward in time is relatively irrelevant. The main theory is that the Skylar we see hails from a future 1 or 2 years ahead, traveled
BACK to the past and the "real Skylar" actually is in a cabin deep in the woods.
Similar to MC who traveled back 20 years instead.
Most people know about time travel? Really? Brad? The Cuck husband? The principal who got his brain splattered? The horny owner lady of the power plant?
Why are a random jerk that wasn't a sparkle in the eyes of his father at the time and a dude who was not inhabitant of the town back when time travel was discovered your examples? The principal firstly is not dead and secondly the same as the "owner" of the plant is employee of Douchebag McAsshat.
I would think that if "Douchebag McAsshat" knows about time travel he is doing a really bad job of keeping under wraps random kid accidentally uses it, masked man can use it whenever, skylar might have used it etc.
If you remember that moron you'd know that
#1 he is old
#2 he is a rich idiot
#3 his right hand man lenny (or larry? actually forgot) is running multiple chores for him i.e. he might not even be the mastermind
#4 the benefits of that are not known and neither are the reasons, it likely is some bond villain BS
Also keep in mind that according to my #3 from the original post I suspected the guy with mask is part of the bad guys. Who do you think would lead the bad guys? Why in lucifers name would he want to hinder one of his men to conduct an action he ordered him to do?
The "random kid" that "accidentally uses it" as we can deduce is not random and it is suspected that the first use was not an accident.
