[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

Actually, I'd say it's the opposite: slaughtering a few million humans immediately was preferable to the entire human race suffering through the twentieth century that Mandus foresaw. The old 'kill thousands to save millions' idea.

Of course, if anything, Mandus has already brought about a future likely to be even worse than our past. Even if the Machine's attempt at creating a new world changed, the slaughter of countless Londoners by supernatural monsters is likely to be something that'd severely impact the twentieth century in ways different from our own.
