Weird that he doesn't gain new memories when he changes stuff.


I guess they either:
-didn't have the budget
OR
-didn't watch the first film
OR
-didn't have the budget and didn't watch the first film

(probably the last one)

Yeah, in the first film, he retains the memories of all the lives he lives once he changes things.

In the first one, Evan retains the memories of all the new stuff he experiences (or is told) in each reality/life, but he DOESN'T know what happened between changing a childhood memory and waking up in the subsequent reality. For instance, he doesn't know he's in a fraternity or where the bathrooms are, is suprised to discover his mom in the hospital, never has any idea what Tommy's like etc. It's the exact same as this one; suddenly finds himself in different version of life, does NOT know what's going on or what has happened beforehand except for whatever memory/past moment he changed.
