Snake Plissken was the inspiration. Alas, no one remembers him.

She did look pretty neat like that.
My current theory is that there is no terrible event at all; it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, of sorts. My guess is that since Present Twilight suspects that something horrible is going to happen, she dresses for war preparing for it (explaining the wardrobe of Future Twilight). She assumes that since Future Twilight has an eyepatch, that she must have received an injury to that eye. To prevent that from happening, she puts on an eyepatch for protection (which incidently ends up being the same one that she had seen on Future Twilight). The scratches on her suit and stuff could have been from an accident that happened during over-preparation. I'm wondering if the message to the past was that nothing bad was going to happen in the first place and that Present Twilight shouldn't get all riled up about nothing...

That's a paradox. If nothing was going to happen she wouldn't have gone back to warn herself that something was going to happen.

Well, it is fiction and all. There were time paradoxes in the Terminator series, for example.
I got to thinking. Alternatively, perhaps word gets around from Twilight that something bad is going to happen. This causes panic, turmoil and chaos in all of Ponyville. When it turns out that this overreaction is what the bad event was, Twilight goes back in time to tell herself not to cause such a panic. Of course, she doesn't get to get tell herself the details before she zaps back to the future.

That seems pretty likely, much ado about nothing. Btw what are the paradoxes in Terminator? I've seen and read everything there is for that series, comics, TV, books , etc. Terminator subscribes to predestination. No matter what happens skynet gets built. That's why "no fate but what we make" is such a joke. It's not true at all.
Hmmm I just realized that for things to turn out well the entire Twilight episode won't have occurred.
If things turn out well she'll have no reason to go back and warn herself. Therefore the entire sequence of events won't kick off.
I'm pretty sure this episode mimics the ideas from the Star Trek the next generation episode Yesterday's Enterprise.
Wow I can't believe I just remembered that including the episode name. I'm such a geek lol.

The date of Judgment Day itself is the paradox. In the first movie, the T-800 says that Judgment Day will occur in 1997. However, since actions were taken, Judgment Day actually happens in the 21st century. Since it would ultimately play out that Judgment Day would happen then, the T-800 shouldn't have said it would happen in 1997. Hence the paradox.
