Wow.
What a completely moronic, stupid, idiotic, ignorant, dumbfuck and retarded take.
Congrats on hitting all them!
It's easy to figure out.
The first movie takes place in May of 1984. John is conceived, so his Bday is early 1985.
This movie specifically states he is 10 years old.
So its 1995 for sure.
Yes, I know.
What about it?
Nobody is saying he's not 10. The main argument is that he doesn't look or act 10.
I'm thinking this is most likely
Yeah, it was a misstep.
But I can see how it happened. When Furlong was cast, he really did look a lot younger. Puberty hit really hard during filming. You can really see "young" John in the scene where he's helping Arnie fix the car. Those were some of the first scenes shot and he legit looks like he could be 10.
On top of that, the math in the story wouldn't work as well. It wouldn't be 1991 in the movie, it would be more like 1995. If they aged up John's character even more, it would be 1997.... right before the supposed war would happen, which I think would feel "too late" for the story they're trying to tell
Ah, makes more sense!
The quick shot of the whip wasn't very clear. Thanks!
What did I describe?
The handle magically sticks to the underside?
If you didn't actually have a real answer, you certainly didn't have to write anything lol
I think we've cracked the code
Once youre caught and documented as such, you're considered tarded.
No you can use it.
And if you're late twice in a row, you're considered retardy
I don't think teachers handle the tardy situations.
For all they know, he was excused. They would've just thought the office or principal already handled the situation.
That's how I took it too.
But then it seems odd that he's aiming directly for the photo booth thats up on some curbing.
Ok....?
He did return to another Marty.
He watched another Marty, who was part of a richer family, use the time machine to escape terrorists.
It's like you never paid attention.
I'll keep going because I know what else you're going to say.
You're going to say it's a plot hole because doc would've kept the gas.
No. He wouldn't have, for that long at least. Yes, He would've put it in a container for sure.... but he's been established in Hill Valley for at least eight months. During that eight months he's obviously been busy tinkering. He's not expecting Marty to come back because he instructed him back to 85.
Doc would've had two choices with his container of gas.... let it sit there for no reason and let it go bad. OR use it up in some useful practical way with all the tinkering he's been doing.
You need to face it.... no matter what, the first gas is all gone.
You lose again!
Thanks for playing
They knew Marty for a single week in 1955, literal decades before Marty looks like that. They don't have a picture of him. They may think there's a passing familiarity, but it isn't a plot hole. I don't remember what half the people looked like in high school anymoren and I knew them for four years, not just a single week. Recalling peoples faces is different than recalling events. I can remember events that happened in childhood, but you would need photographic memory to recall perfectly somebody's face.
ALSO Who's to say they DIDNT notice? So what? They're not going to say "hmmm I bet my son is a time traveler!" Of course not. Theyre just going to be like "well he looks a lot like Calvin." And thats going to be the end of it.
No plot hole.
The problem in 1885 wasn't parts. It was gas. Marty's gas all leaked out in the bear cave. And the one stashed in the mine was drained of gas. How do I know? Because Doc is smart and surely knows that draining gas for long term storage is common practice, even if storing for the season, let alone the for 70 years of storage, as keeping old gas will damage the tank. Not only that, 55 Doc tells Marty he needed to fill it.
And they don't have the means to find crude oil and refine it into gasoline in the time they need to escape from 1885. And Gasoline wasn't invented yet.
Again no plot hole.
All this has been covered extensively over the past 30 years, and you obviously haven't thought these through
Is more fun for me.
You can double down and die on this hill all you want. Doesn't make you right. Like the other guy said, Lea Thompson taking that role has been discussed since 1990. Nobody considers that a hole except for you.
It's just funny to me to watch you think you've unearthed some crazy secretš¤£
Thanks for playing!
