Future Quinn Used The Time Machine To Kill Summer & His High School Bullies

The Sweetly Slasher technically is n’t any of Summer ’s schoolmate – or even anyone from 2003 . Rather , the Sweetly Slasher is Quinn from the class 2024 . While Quinn was generally a friendly adolescent who revel science and had a fondness for Summer in 2003 , thetime travel moviereveals that he becomes embittered over time and , in the year 2024 , exit back in clip to pour down Summer , Emmy , Val , and Brian . apparently having grow a job with SONR , the more or less 40 - year - former Quinn uses the anti - matter fourth dimension simple machine to go on a three - day kill spree in 2003 before returning to his timeline .

Why Future Quinn Killed Summer, Emmy, Brian & Val In 2003

Future Quinn Wanted Revenge For The Mistreatment Of His Teenage Self

Since the Orcinus orca was never found in the original timeline , the Field family never had any closure about why Summer was targeted by the Sweetly Slasher . However , Lucy ’s time locomotion hinderance results in her finally get the answer . When the teens fight Future Quinn inTime Cut ’s conclusion , he excuse thathis motive for the killing fling is free-base on his misfortunate treatment from fellow classmates , the bullying directed at him by Ethan and Brian , and Summer rejecting his romanticist advances . After 21 years of this hatred suppuration in Quinn , he decide to get brutal retaliation for his new ego .

Time Cutreveals that Quinn did n’t have many admirer , and was chosen by Ethan and Brian to be the senior embarrassingly bemuse into the river in front of his peer . That intimidation was soon watch over by Quinn giving a letter to Summer confess his love , which she react to by order she could never care him in that way . As retaliation , Future Quinn plan to kill Summer and her closest friends , and get away by returning to the future . Plus , by leaving Ethan alive , Quinn would get further revenge by fix him the liberal defendant for theslasher film baddie .

Both the slasher and fourth dimension - travel dowery of Time Cut are defined by sloth , but there ’s one expectant idea in it I ca n’t stop thinking about .

However , many of the reason that Future Quinn had for return to the past and killing his classmates were erased by Lucy ’s sentence travel to 2003 . Lucy became Quinn ’s booster , stopped Ethan and Brian from throwing him in the river , help him become close friends with Summer again , and even act upon Summer ’s decision to feel supported in derive out to her family and booster about her sex . After Lucy , Summer , and Quinn stamp out Future Quinn , the change they ’ve already made to the fresh timeline seem to also kill those motivations to become the Sweetly Slasher .

Will Quinn Really Stop Himself From Becoming The Sweetly Slasher?

Lucy’s Timeline Changes Will Hopefully Prevent Quinn’s Dark Turn

Teenage Quinn promises that he ’ll never turn into the monster that return to vote out Summer and her protagonist , butthere ’s no way of knowing that promise will be kept . While Lucy returned toTime Cut ’s 2024 timeline and saw that Summer did n’t have a husband but was still alive , she does n’t give any word about what happened to Quinn . It ’s potential that Quinn still becomes a Orcinus orca but spares Summer . Additionally , that alternate future timeline has already been commute yet again by Lucy ’s determination to reelect and last out in 2003 .

Teenage Quinn and Future Quinn are both portrayed by Griffin Gluck .

Lucy ’s final return to 2003 stand for that she ’ll never be born in the future , but her presence will still continue to impact Quinn and Summer ’s lives as they produce old . The future that Lucy saw when she went back to 2024 likely wo n’t be the same as it is in the young timeline , as there will be an entirely new butterfly consequence from Lucy staying . This could potentially touch whether Quinn eventually acts on potentially dissimilar motivations to become the Sweetly Slasher ; there ’s just no style of know unless a Modern timeline and paradox is create yet again .

Lucy Killing Future Quinn Means Brian & Val’s Killer Is Still Never Identified

That Version Of Quinn May Not Even Exist In This Timeline Anymore

While Lucy traveling back in time helped preclude the demise of Emmy and Summer , she was too former to stop Future Quinn from killing Brian and Val at the mall . One of the biggest tragedies of the Sweetly Slasher being from the future was that when he returned to his timeline , the town never got any closure on who killed the teens . This meter around , Lucy and Summer come upon the killer ’s identity indicate the public would at last get to learn who murder Brian and Val .

Lucy and Summer ca n’t expose the orca considering Future Quinn returned to 2024 before dying , the teen would have to convince the government that prison term travel is actual , and this information could go to teenaged Quinn being incarcerated for the killings that he has n’t committed yet

However , theparadox of it being Future Quinn means that info will still never be break . Lucy and Summer ca n’t expose the killer deliberate Future Quinn return to 2024 before give-up the ghost , the teens would have to convert the potency that sentence travel is real , and this information could lead to teenage Quinn being put behind bars for the violent death that he has n’t commit yet . Tragically , it means Val and Brian ’s murders will technically still remain unresolved afterTime Cut , despite the fact that Lucy , Quinn , and Summer know who did it .
