#like perfectionist doomsday prepper type too far

Same on the theory!!!

Anyways...

I think certain events need to happen , but Canon also has like it's own autocorrect function, while also allowing for slight variations or, ya know, Canon divergence.

If Miles' dad needed to 🪦 then I think Canon could have corrected to ensure it did. He could have a stroke, or heart attack, or literally slipped and broke his neck on stairs.

Miguel took things too far off track to the point that Canon couldn't self correct, and his trauma and fear of that happening again made it so he couldn't see the difference between a minor divergence or a complete break from Canon.

exactly, it's rewriting itself autonomously, if it wants someone dead, they're gonna die, and it'll keep trying again and again, rewriting the series of events till it gets what it wants (and for shits and giggles on my part, I think it would keep getting more and more creative, and subsequently weirder and weirder) or the timeline's been messed up beyond repair and the dimension collapses.

I think Miguel can't accept that changing one event and taking the place of another person and being a constant breaker of events (as he was never supposed to be there so everything he does is against the timeline, from big to small). changing one event can be recovered from, two even, that's own thing, the universe and timeline can deal with that, it won't cause a collapse all on its own, constantly fucking with it is another, and it's not so generous in it leeway.
