I really really like this movie. I like that the directors seemed to know that trying to explain time travel BS would just lead to nowhere and just go ahead with the plot of the movie. IMO, one way or another, no matter how you try to explain time travel, it'll eventually become a paradox unless you insert multi-verse theory.

[@dbkwk9]

I like the idea of multiple different theories existing at once

[@ducknorris233]

My theory wouldn’t make for a good movie but I think the reality of time travel is that it’s only possible in one direction. Let’s say you are making building something and need the square root of 36. You would get 6 right? Well you would get 6 and -6 but you throw out the negative number because it has no practical use. All the paradoxes of time travel would be squashed. I also think time travel forward would look more like stasis, as you skip through time (relative to you) others could see you in that same space through out time. Stasis also seems like something easier to invent than time travel. I would be interested in hearing anyone else’s theories.

@Ian Robertson It's possible that accumulating a massive amount of electricity and then releasing it into a condensed area can open a portal to another dimension, pretty sure that's why the delorean in back to the future needed a nuclear reaction from plutonium or a lightning bolt to operate.

I always thought of this movie as a reverse superhero origin story. Imagine in the canon universe of a comic there's an established supervillain, then using "comic logic" there's a time travel event that changes the villians past making him into a hero and that becomes the new canon. Basically The Rainmaker is the Flashpoint Paradox version of The Joker becoming a permanent hero. At least that's the way I saw it.

It seems to use three different theories, one believing time travel is instant (example being the part remove scene) another believing that it takes time (Bruce Willis' memories being changed slowly), and the other being a loop.

The way I see it works is that changes only happen to the future individual at the moment those events happen. So any occurrences in the past won't cease to exist and future events or people will only change once they reach that moment in time. That's why old Joe still remembered his wife and his past experiences even though his younger self's timeline got completely changed.

Another big temporal paradox/plot hole is Old Seth/Young Seth. If Young Seth is captured and has most of his limbs cut off, that completely alters his future self, including the thirty years he lived afterward, and his arrival back in the past, confronted by Young Seth. I don't think we would have been treated to the scene of him stumbling toward the address, with his limbs disappearing. If he had those body parts removed from his young self, his older self could never have run away in the first place. It wouldn't happen the way it was depicted and...Oh my god, I just went cross-eyed.

I actually had to pause this video and add it to my to-rent list.

I honestly find it incredibly weird that so many KZbin Critics (Film or Video Game) are trying to science what essentially is magic. Most stories, in my experience, aren't constructed with the technicalities and minutia in mind, it's mostly about characters. I appreciate the in-depth deep dive nature of video essays like this, but the "it's just not logical," perspective is getting really old.

Exactly. Nobody tries to science away Thanos, for example. It's a movie. A great one. Sit back and enjoy it.

I love that call out on The Last Jedi
