Gamerescape E3 Interview

It's kind of premature to get upset at a First-Haurchefant showing up considering there isn't even the slightest hint so far of that happening.

Fear of what introducing doppelgängers from alternate realities/parallel worlds may bring to the story is causing the advance hate before the final result is even presented.

but as I said before, majority of people we know may have their doppelgängers dead or turned into Sin Eaters in the First due to the Flood of light covering majority of the world and the only place we can go in 5.0 are the few remaining places that have not been consumed yet.

not to mention as I said multiple times, the doppelgängers does not mean that everything in the past is undone since these people are completely different people with only similarities are their name and appearance.

Treating a doppelgängers as the same person is rather a result of the mind not being able to accept the person as a different person simply because the appearance and voice of the person is the same as someone they or we knew. Though this is a common plot for alternate realities/parallel worlds since the mind and/or heart of a person is trying to tell themselves that this person is not the same person but the memories of the person we know prevents people from accepting this at the sametime.

It is like the Flash with the multiple versions of Harrison Wells or the different Peter Parkers of the Spiderverse which each had different life and different results in their life to be completely different people such as in Spider-Gwen Universe of Spiderverse, Peter Parker gave into his darker nature thus instead of becoming Spider-man he became the Lizardman and died fighting Spider-Gwen.

As for Harrison Wells example, well the Flash series basically shows it with how different each Harrison Wells are to a point they are completely different people.
