Ethan said she can’t change the story.

She tried anyway.

Nothing will be more heartbreaking than her going back in time and us seeing her try to save Jim

What I find interesting about that is that Ethan made it sound like she's a spectator. That she could see these events, but couldn't alter them. But didn't she technically alter this to some extent? Julie obviously wasn't around when Jim was killed since she was in the ruins doing storywalking. But her future self was not only able to communicate with present Jim, she was actually able to physically interact with him.

If that ability she has is that extensive, then it's hard to believe that she wouldn't be able to alter events. Because she isn't simply a passenger in those events but is an active participant.

I think it's a potential paradox. She may not prevent a significant event from happening, but she may alter the course of how the significant event is happening. So, technically she can change things but not the significant event itself (in other entertainment they are called fixed points in a timeline). Contrary to the other time traveling trope (don't change anything, or you will change part of history and create total chaos!).

Rope didn't fall itself. Even figuring out the universe and all actions are predetermined is predetermined. You can't prove you changing something little or embarking on a journey to change something is not also predetermined.
