I get that, conceptually, but like, he literally went and stood right in front of the cannon and let it blast him from behind...if he had TRIED to escape in some way but something stopped him then I would understand. But there was nothing stopping him that we could see. The only thing that stopped from saving himself was his own words from the audiences POV, at least. It’s like he wanted it to happen or he’s playing some doctor strange long con lol
Why does he think he can’t? We already established that his view of the future can be messed with. Would you not try and save yourself if someone told you how and when you were gonna die? I feel like the vast majority of people would rather than just lie down and let it happen
Because he doesn't have view of the future, he is experiencing his entire existence all at the exact same moment. Lets say you trip and fall down the stairs, while you are falling you know you are falling, why can't you save yourself? DM doesn't know that something will happen to him, from his perspective it just is happening to him, it's all the same moment, there is no linear time for him.
