Okay, I'm a little confused about the hell sequence.

While I understand Ted's POV with him when he was younger and stealing his brother's Easter basket, I don't quite understand why it was considered wrong for Bill to bail out on his great grandmother if he was so repulsed by her. Same with the Colonel Oates part. Was Bill ever in military school? Also, I thought Ted didn't go because he ended up passing history in high school. Though that part with Colonel Oates was funny, especially with his abusive lines about how he says that Bill and Ted aren't strong but are silky boys. That was funny. But I still don't understand young Bill's so called "sin". Ted, yes, but Bill, I don't understand. But I liked how Alex Winter played Granny Preston as well.

I thought that part was showing their worst fears?

I could be wrong but that's what i always assumed it was.

The Colonel Oates part was to do with how they are fearful of ted having to go to military school, which would mean they couldnt have the band anymore.

The great grandmother part has to do with (at least in my experience) being a little kid, you never liked being kissed and having your cheeks pinched by relatives! lol

I havent watched it fully in a while so i could be completely wrong :)

it's basically bill & ted's own "personal hell"

Which is why it worked so well.

Wonder why they didn't made something that God, The Devil, Death and others teamed up against something created by too much time traveling and such, something like Lavos or so.

God wants all this to happen. Or at least he wants Bill and Ted to found the future. Which is why Bill and Ted are the only people to ever beat Death in games of chance. None of that really matters though, because there are no issues associated with time travel in the Bill and Ted universe.

It's nothing to do with sin. They're each in their own personal hell. They even say it using those very words. They're basically living their worst nightmare.
