Today's Darwin Award nominee

Are you bringing this up because most Libyans are muslim?

 

There should be a time travel ban on them.

 

Nope. I'm bringing up the broken rib aspect.

 

Imagine a modern version of the movie where the kid gets sent back to 1988.

"OK, Future Kid. Who's President of the United States in 2018?"

"Donald Trump."

"Donald Trump? The guy who fucked up the USFL? Then who's Vice President? George Steinbrenner?"

 

I actually think Trump as President in 1988 would've been rather plausible. It was the early 2000s and the immediate aftermath of his birtherism where it seemed the unlikeliest.

 

• How does old Biff return to the 2015 he knows once he gives the Almanac to his younger self in 1955? Once he hands him that book, that 2015 doesn't exist and old Biff would've returned to the 2015 where he was a multi-billionaire.
• Doc's tombstone from 1885 said "erected in eternal memory by his beloved Clara". How could they have met when days prior she was supposed to have died in Clayton Eastwood Ravine upon her arrival in town?

Plot loopholes are heavy.

 

Thank god we got some Trump comments into this thread.

 

The first one, chalk it up to Biff not being very smart. Although he does somehow figure out how to go back in time.

For the second one, Doc was asked by the Mayor to meet the new teacher at the train station and take her to her house, which he would have been asked whether Marty was there or not. Since Marty isn't there to distract him by having them go out to the ravine to plan the trip back, Doc meets Clara anyways and they fall in love. Plus, Doc doesn't know that he's supposed to fall in love since he's not expecting Marty to come back for him.

 

So she dies in the ravine later on?

 

Or she doesn't and the ravine still has a Native American name like it did before. Doc changes history by picking her up to the train station.

 

Years later, Biff still had the butthurt ...

 

I'm don't think he's working YF's corners
