Anyone think the time travel in this movie is the weirdest ever?


The idea of just going back to any point in your life by just looking at your diary or looking at some old picture you drew in kindergarten is weird. It would be a unique ability to have though.

yes

Yeah, it is weird, but that's also exactly why I like it. It's not an exact science type of thing - as if an 'exact science' is even possible or makes sense with time travel.

It made for some interesting obstacles.

‘Shit, in order to go back in time and save everyone I need to read my childhood journals, to do that I need to persuade some prison rapists that I’m going to suck their dicks, then quickly stab them in the dick and heart while my butch cellmate holds off the security guards and rioters, giving me enough time to read a passage from my childhood journal’

I preferred the clocktower/electricity obstacles that Marty McFly had to deal with.
