I know I’m not the only in here that always finds it satisfying to see Biff being treated like a slave…

[@EditorOfSL]

He acts kind of like Renfield - “Yes, Master!”

[@JaguarCats]

@@EditorOfSL I wouldn't say he's a slave, more like he's acting with a bit more respect towards people. Heck he even has his own business and relying on others to do his work for him. So in a way he also came out a head.

[@blakeellis9171]

McFly is the kind of guy to pay him fairly too, so it's not even that he's getting a bad deal

[@EditorOfSL]

What I love about this was that Marty’s original plan was to just get his parents together and that was it, but by making his dad more confident and scolding his mum for her smoking and drinking habits, it changed his entire family for the better. Seriously, all Marty was expecting to change was that his parents wouldn’t scold him when he set fire to the rug, and he suddenly came back to the perfect family!

​@@cr_unchy Of course that changed once we get to the next two movies that detail how his life started to change for the better due to his two trips to the future and the past.

[@rlbarney2]

@@paulsmith9192 This Marty was not the Marty from this time line. When he changed the past, he returned to a different timeline. The Marty that existed in this timeline probably had good grades, however, that Marty most likely returned to another different timeline due to the changes he impacted on his journey back in time. I picture it as each version of Marty returned to a different future timeline, and replaced the existing Marty, who also returned to a different timeline, continuing through infinite timelines. 😉

[@webguy943]

​@rlbarney2 yea its a paradox cuz in the good timeline that marty wouldnt really have a need to go back in time and fix things.

[@MrScaryPasta]

Let’s all be honest here, a lot of us wanted to use a Time Machine as kids to change certain events of our lives and our families. But you can’t choose them. Sometimes you gotta go with the flow. We can make our own future while still learning from our past.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Also because the main reason things work out this well is cause it's a movie. If Time Travel worked a bit more like how it probably would Marty still wouldn't exist given the sheer amount of differences that would happen with his parents after his interaction with them.

[@destinywhite2063]

⁠@@thefanwithoutaface8105Well, the thing is, all of that happened by accident. Have to be very careful with time travel. Marty got sent back to 1955 by sheer accident. He forgot to check the dashboard and that exact date and year was still in there for testing purposes. Marty landed there, walked into town and ran smack into his father, which he wasn’t prepared for. He had no idea what his father looked like as a teenager and even if he did, it was still a shock to him. He wasn’t used to 18 year old George McFly. Marty didn’t have that frame of mind. Marty didn’t know the rules of time travel. Or he would’ve known to stay out of sight and not to talk to anyone. Cause anything he said to people or did for or with anyone could have far reaching consequences many years later. That’s how he messed up his mom and dad getting together. He wasn’t thinking and pushed George out of the way when her dad almost hit him with the car, causing her to fall in love with Marty instead of George. Then he had to go back and fix it. Destiny always gets it own way. You never know who you’ll influence with even an encouraging word. Like Marty in 1955 telling Goldie Wilson when he was saying he was going to be somebody, Marty said “yeah, you’re going to be….mayor.” Marty started realizing he had to watch his mouth and what he said to people. Cause he still had that 1985 mindset and he was in 1955. Tv was just invented and no one knew what a rerun was.

[@TurboMan942]

The main part of this movie for me that nobody really seems to talk about is that Marty fixed his parents. He didn’t set out to do that. He had to do that to bring them together by teaching them both a better way to go through life. They weren't rich when he got back. They were healthier, more comfortable, and happier because of the better path they went down after Marty helped them help themselves. If you notice at the end, Lorraine knew that Marty was planning to go to the lake with Jennifer. That was something that he felt that he had to lie about to her before he went back to 1955. Obviously, he was unaware that their relationship was more open now..something that he would have to get used to. For me, how he inadvertently made his parents better people, and his relationship better with them, was the most beautiful thing about this movie.

[@POPE_FRANC1S]

[@Glitcher2000]

Of course this movie is timeless.

[@unclej2763]

Such changes the family went through by the end of the first film in this trilogy, thanks to Marty. George went from being a nervous coward to more self-confident of himself; Lorraine now approves of her kids going out on dates unlike earlier where she was a drunk alcoholic who disapproved of it; Linda went from being bored to now being part of an active social life; and Dave went from a potential minimum wage job at Burger King to a proper office job. Not to mention, as for Biff, well, at least he turned from a bullying jerk of George’s supervisor to a more mature and friendly car businessman, running his own auto detailing company. So thanks to this, even Marty sure got lucky he now has the Toyota Hilux truck as a coveted gift from his parents.

[@gameburn178]

This was the era of Ronald Reagan. The middle class was just beginning to be whittled down to what it is today. People could feel that things were getting scary. There was also an awareness that economic well-being could be changed, could be improved. And that the difference between success and its opposite was often luck and circumstance. The movie makes the point of sympathizing with the downtrodden. When Marty sees the homeless guy after being in an America that had no homeless people, he sees the difference. Feels the difference. I'm not sure the movie gets the credit it deserves for its social commentary. We don't seem to do as well at this kind of commentary today.

[@unclej2763]

@@gameburn178 Yeah, and Marty was actually right about Reagan being president of the United States in 1985. And as Doc stated assuming Marty was referring to someone else, I didn’t even know Reagan was an actor.

I always assumed that the family shares the two cars, depending on who needs a car at a given time. George is a writer, so I imagine he can work from home. They never say what Lorraine does for work, if she even works at all, but the two clearly have an active social life. Dave has to go to the office, Linda works at the boutique, and Marty's... Marty lol. Lorraine does say that Marty's supposedly been planning his trip with Jennifer for two weeks, so Marty essentially has dibs on the truck. Not necessarily his, but it's his for the weekend.

[@ncwordman]

@@GC0077 Marty said that originally to his dad in the past. But when his dad quotes it back to him in 1985 (in this scene), the dad says, "It's like I always say, 'If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.'" So the dad takes it as something he (the dad) says, not what Marty said to him in the past. He remembered Marty enough to include the yellow-suited figure on the cover of the novel. But he also only knew Marty in the past for 1 day. So maybe he doesn't remember facial features, or even perhaps his name. Although, his mom probably named him after the Marty she knew in the past, as she indicates toward the end of the movie.

[@55twintv39]

I like the ending.

[@TheQuaadFather]

Notice that instead of cheesing and getting happy right away, Marty spent this entire scene utterly bewildered, even a little stressed out, that a week spent in the past and what he said to his parents changed his entire life. Not even able to smile for the truck he wanted before the beginning of the movie that he now magically has, because his values have changed, he has changed and so has everything else, the only thing that was the same was the girl and that gave him relief, and seeing his parents the way they always should have been. Such a beautifully written movie, that was packaged as a sci-fi comedy.

[@liangseng7474]

Marty has a good memory, even after one week he still remembers that the car's wrecked

[@BookshelfQBattler]

Yeah it was always a little pretentious to me that a 20 year old actor would argue with a director over the ending of a movie that made him famous and also is the best movie ever made about standing up to bullies to find your confidence. I wish Crispin could have set aside differences with Zemeckis to see what he achieved, appeared in 2 and 3 and he would have had plenty of chances to make movies about putting other forms of happiness over material gain

So even though his family was different now, he remembered them as he was before. I have been watchig way to much Dr. Who/Sliders/Quantum Leap.

[@tomdeluca5946]

I wonder if this is just an alternate timeline that he landed in or if his original timeline just changed if it didnt then marty would never go back to his original family

[@MarklovesAngels]

I know a big theory about time travel is now about different time lines, but I always figured that once things changed in 1955, the original time line's subsequent events just became revised. He's still with his original family, and that, based on the changed circumstances of more inspirational motivations and circumstances, the individuals made different, more positive choices moving forward from 1955.

[@rlbarney2]

This Marty was not the Marty from this time line. When he changed the past, he returned to a different timeline. The Marty that existed in this timeline most likely returned to another different timeline due to the changes he impacted on his journey back in time. I picture it as each version of Marty returned to a different future timeline, and replaced the existing Marty, who also returned to a different timeline, continuing through infinite timelines.

[@waynemacfarland1546]

I can't help wonder if Marty's Darth Vader getup was the inspiration for George's book?

[@dgirllamius____x]

Now Biff, don't con me!

[@jimjones1586]

George knows what happened. Look at the way he looksat marty.

[@joeshar.]

What happened to Marty who slept in that house yesterday? Vanished from existence? Replaced by new Marty? Or still out there?

[@needles1987]

He went back in time.

[@ChristianCastle]

@joeshar. That Marty didn't sleep in that house yesterday because he went back in time to 1955.

Kindda fuh'd that his mom named him after her high school crush's nick-name before meeting George.

Hey Lorraine the enchantment under the sea dance was 30 years ago right? Yea. Did you ever run into Calvin Klein after that night? No. Well then explain to me why our 18 year old son looks exactly like him.

Rico Fresquez favorite movie 🎬

[@NorthernWindNut]

Crispin Glover hated this ending, but Zemeckis finally told him to shut up and do his job because the production had already been such a headache by that point.

[@moseskuria1234]

What was the intended ending?

[@NorthernWindNut]

I don’t know if there was another one, he just didn’t like that it ended with the family being wealthier and that somehow making them better people, at least how he saw it.

[@michaelcunninghamherrera7923]

What other ending could there be? This is the only logical ending where everything improves.

[@satyendrandonibanerjee8682]

OK, I know there’s 1 million questions that people always have with this ending but my question is if Dave is so well off that he has his own office job why is he still living at home? I mean if this took place in 2024 it kind of makes sense as the housing market as become incredibly expensive but in 1985 with the kind of job that he has he would’ve been able to make enough to have his own place. Then again I’m only 24 and I don’t really really know that much about what was going on with Reaganomics.

[@beard3451]

There is a fan theory out there that George secretly figured out that the Marty from 1955 and his son Marty are the same person, maybe knowing through Marty's friendship with Doc Brown, and got Marty the truck he wanted as a way of thanking Marty for helping him become a more confident person. If so, that would be a sweet little detail!

[@Derekmilewski]

I mean, that would be technically kind of sad because technically his son’s dead to him because his son went to a different timeline and he’s now stuck with Marty that helped him/grew up in the bad McFly timeline so he’s only known this kid for about a week

[@liangseng7474]

Not a fan theory, it's in the original script

[@Derekmilewski]

@@liangseng7474 he doesn’t know that it’s him. He does make a hint at it at the very end of the first one where he’s looking at the picture and says wait a minute, but that’s not him knowing at all he just he look similar.
