This is the apotheosis of crazy film theories. It makes perfect sense in the micro environment; it makes perfect sense in the outside of film macro environment. It makes the movie so much better knowing this theory.
no it doesnt "make perfect sense" .. first off there are 2 DeLoreans in 1955 the 1985 one the 2015 flying one and the 1885 one which Doc rebuilds the time circuits with 1955 parts .. and also has Mr. Fusion so it doesnt need any lightning strikes to get the 1.21 Gigawatts ... this "theory" is utter crap
Wow. Three negative comments within 10 minutes. You’re obviously writing these before you get to the end of the video. You’re trying to find fault in it so you can make negative comments. Just chill out dude. It’s not serious.
He is right though. I was digging your theory until you the part with the 2 deloreans came up. you didn't even address it or try to explain. OG Marty brings the first one back and then moves to LA and Doc keeps it. Then Doc fixes it in 1985 and Marty brings it back to 1955 again, where Doc already has it in storage. So then which one does he fix and put the hook on? does the other one just stay in storage? What is his reasoning for not telling marty 2 about it? Also Doc is surprised and in denial at first when Marty 2 comes to him, when he should have been expecting him. Also when Marty 2 went back it accidentally/randomly chose the date, not sure how doc could have planned that. Or if/how/when OG Marty went back. Same time in 1955 or a totally different time? Just seems like creates more questions than it answers. good premise though.
I set it up like that. The whole theory is much bigger than this video. The answers will be coming in the next videos. Working on it now. I’m just trying to get it right.
Yes!! Workshopping this idea just makes the concept fit into the established structure and make it even more taut and enriched with this beautiful added layer. Goddamn, it's 35 years later and we're still tightening the narrative, like a BTTF choose your own adventure book, but in this case, deciding another time element or alternate reality, to see what BTTF-verse we're living in. Brilliant.
Update - May 2020 I've had a lot of interest in the follow up video over the years. I want you all to know that I am still working on it. I know it seems ridiculous but I want it to be perfect. I think during my exploration to make my theory work, I managed to fill all the plot holes in the trilogy. But to explain it in an entertaining way has been proving difficult. I want to make something really special for all of my subscribers and fans of Back To The Future. If you're going to build a grand unified theory of back to the future, why not do it with some style, right? I think my theory celebrates everything great about BTTF and makes the movies even better than they already are. I'm so glad you have kept interest and kept asking questions this whole time. Trust me, I want to finish this too. Making this theory together with my wife Liana is the biggest hobby we have and we want to let you all in on the fun. Just stick with us a little longer. It will happen and it will be worth the wait. See you all soon, hopefully
An unrelated point, but I wish Part II was about Marty having to get his future son to prevent a major paradox, bonding with him in the process, just like he does with George in the first film. For fun, you could have Martin McFly Junior finding the 1985 version of his mother, Jennifer, attractive, just as Lorraine “had the hots” for Marty in 1955. Part III is where Biff picks up on Marty and Doc’s time travelling escapades and then you have the alternate 1985. The latter half of the ACTUAL Back To The Future Pt. II is combined with the ACTUAL entirety of Pt. III (in the West) to make a 3 hour, epic conclusion. To top it all off, the time machine is not destroyed in this version, and Doc passes it down to Marty and Jennifer for safe-keeping, claiming he now wishes to go to a wonderful future that hasn’t been written yet; raising his family. This is not to hint at future sequels, only to reignite the wonderment the first film leaves you with; "Roads? Where we’re going we don’t NEED... Roads".
One theory is that the McFly's never existed. Doc Brown accidentally saved Shaemus thus starting a new timeline. Doc's interest in Marty is no accident. Doc interfered already and used Marty as a Martyr. Doc intended on fixing the timeline, but ended up loving Marty and seeing him as a son. So, Doc wanted to save Marty even at the sacrifice of himself. A theory "It ends where it all started" in 1885. Doc was especially unhappy when Marty arrived in 1885.
+Shaun I have heard that theory before. And it’s very close to the theory that I have, that I’m going to be making a video about soon. Hope you enjoy the video! :-)
Another one has to do with religious symbolism. Emmitt is time time is known as Cronos, also the creator of time and space. MARTY is also equal to Jesus, the son. Whom Doc created, to be a Martyr. it goes pretty deep, but in order to really know what the director is saying, you have to know what are Roberts interest and passions. Is he a free mason. Knowing his mind is key to understanding the story.
+Shaun I’ve seen that one too. I think to understand the full wider story (or in Gale and Zemeckis’ case, to create the wider story) you need to have rules for how the Flux Capacitor works. Any theory that doesn’t put that into some kind of working context can’t be solid enough to stand up to scrutiny. No one has ever sat down and figured it out yet. But give me a few weeks. ;)
@@TwoWrights But in 1885, Seamus already had a son, William who was Marty's great-grandfather. Even if Seamus died, his son would still go on to have his descendants including Marty. Unless we're assuming his father's death alters the course of his life to make him marry someone else. Or unless he saved William, the baby or the whole family.
I love this theory. Going to watch it again just see how this fits and feels with the new twist. I'd love to see what your brain would do with watching The Usual Suspects 1,000 times.
N ROOD theory wouldn’t work tho cause if it was true why wouldn’t doc just not send Marty in the past also if he ruined Marty’s life and Marty messed his parents relationship up then Marty wouldn’t be born and dock wouldn’t track down the McFly family because they would t be together or Marty wouldn’t exist
Doc never sent Marty to the last. Doc died and Marty tried to drive away. It was an accident. Doc doesn’t know how what’s going to happen if he changes history, so he tried to plan for every eventuality. If what we see in the movie isn’t the original timeline, then we don’t even know who OG Marty’s father was. It couldn’t have been George if OG Marty looked like Eric Stolz. Trust me, once you start going down the rabbit hole on this thing, it just gets more confusing. The full theory is going to be a very long video. I’ve been adding to it for years.
I feel compelled to tell you, I also watched BTTF every day after ALL of high school, on VHS (of course) back to back. So, sometimes 3 times in a day. Why was I so fascinated by it, like you? I think a lot of people were. Going back to change things in our past, is the 20/20 hindsight that we ALL universally wish for; and this movie gave us that fantasy, to play out in our minds. Just my opinion.
I totally agree. I think it teaches a lot of wholesome lessons that can be applied to your own outlook on life. I like that most people's fantasy of time travel is that they can go back and fix the mistakes they've made in life. But BTTF gives you that but also shows that what you already have is worth saving, and if you work to save it, you life will be better for it. Great comment mate.
Jackie Valentine Thank you Jackie! I was inspired to make a new video after this one got so much attention. I hope you like it. ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
Will Haskins Thanks Will! I am trying to give this a real go. I made a new video. Let me know what you think. :) ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
I came here for BTTF fun, enjoyed reminiscing about watching videos in the 80's, then got floored by your cracking theory. Eric was the icing on cake. Great work all round!
+Matt Bell I'm so glad that it has an audience. I thought this would be some fun thing for me to make for my friends. I never thought it would get 10 views. I think it's time for a new video. I'm finally starting a new one today. Don't forget to subscribe to see the next one. I think I've solved a long standing BTTF mystery and I think if people got blown away with this theory, they are going to love the next one.
Already done :-) I don't often subscribe after only 1 video but you'd won me over before it even got to the Eric Stolz part. We too had videos that were mixes of one shorter film crossed with another, longer one. In some cases these "mix tapes" were so beloved I ended up transferring then onto DVD like that! I'm just a product if the 80s I guess :-D
+Matt Bell Me too. I was born in 79, wife was born in 88. So our breadth of pop culture knowledge is pretty wide, but our formative years of childhood consumption lasts from about 83 through to 2000.
It's probably no surprise that I was born in 1977, since our recollections of the era are so similar! My wife was born in 1978 though, so our collective knowledge of pop culture peters out a little earlier than your household's I suspect. We also come from different parts of the UK (I'm from southern England, she's from North Wales) so we both grew up with slightly different programs on TV: Lots more regional diversity back then! ;-)
+Matt Bell I sometimes think I'm lucky for growing up when I did. Especially as a movie fan. I got to reap the wealth of creativity that Star Wars and Jaws inspired in the industry, but before it hit critical mass and dived into a money grab. We got to experience Back To The Future, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Big, Big Trouble In Little China, Ferris Beullers Day Off, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Beauty and The Beast, and thousands of others. Then Phantom Menace hit and ruined the studio system by showing the studios that you don't need to make a good movie to make the most amount of money if you market it right. Our attentions are pulled in hundreds of ways a day and it's hard to love movies like I used to, but I don't think people who grew up after the Star Wars prequels have any context for new quality film. But we didn't have the internet or streaming video on demand. There's a lot more choice available so you don't have to discern anything to find entertainment. Same as how all your questions can find an answer immediately through google. But you're only getting the answer you're looking for most of the time. When your opportunity to make choices is diminished then your ability to make good choices is unpracticed. Do you stare at Netflix for ages trying to chose something to commit to? We never did that when we were kids. We watched what was on. It wasn't always good, but you found great moments in good and bad movies. But we knew how to judge it. Millenials have never had to figure out what was good or bad. So we end up with 8 Fast/Furious movies, Tim Burton can't make good movies anymore, the DC movie franchise is a thing even though every movie they've made is decidedly awful (haven't seen WW yet though), and everybody thinks La La Land is an Oscar worthy film. The reason everything is a sequel, reboot, or franchise now is because it makes a choice for the target audience. Do you like superheroes? Here's some superheroes. It's the answer they've been looking for. The studio system is now just another search result. But we all miss out on the search and discovery because of it. And that was the true joy of being a movie fan in the first place. Food for thought.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention Doc setting the time circuits to 1955 and saying under his breath “of course, November 5th, 1955!” Because that is what REALLY makes this theory make sense!
Everyone who views this will now watch bttf with brand new eyes, well done sir, this is the stuff that dreams are made off and you have single handedlu (with the wife of course!) done something that all fans will love and appreciate, I vote you should present your idea to the powers that be and would make a fine script for bttf part 4 . Thank you and my hat is completely off to you sir!
Hey mate, just wanted to say how incredible this theory is. I really enjoyed it and BTTF is one of my favourite films of all time. I would like to point out how Doc's calculations when the alarm clock goes off are wrong, doc tells marty to go as soon as the alarm clock rings but the car shuts down and marty goes a little while after still making the wire in time, possibly eluding to the fact that doc's done this more than once (multiple marty's running around in 1955) and in fact rigged the car to stall so marty would make it in time.
@@TwoWrights Your theory was really awesome! I have a personal history/timeline that Im working on That Goes in a direction that I think will be really awesome and keep the integrity of the time line. Yours and the original! Coming soon! Keep up the great work.
My idea for a Backtothefuture sequel trilogy is as follows: It is fourty years since the events in the three movies. DocBrown's house have been abadonned for fourty years and is in a shabby state.Three youths who live nearby goes there to clean up the place and make it ready for a sale. While they are cleaning the house they find the scematics for the delorean and how the fluxcapasator makes timetravels possible. They also find a video which shows one of the youths mother(possible Jennifer Parker)and she looks totally different than she looks today. the youths also sees DocBrown holding a newspaper where Biff has the Grey's sport allmanac in his pocket from 1955. They decide to build a new Delorean from DocBrown's scematics. When they are finnished they decide to bring the Grey's sport allmanac(which is in common sale in 2022) with them. They goes back to 1955 and knows allready that MartyMcFly detained JenniferParkers father when he took the caseboard apart in the first movie to use it as a regular board.The youths prevent this from happening by giving MartyMcFly another board to stand on while flying away from Biff. They also gives their fathers the Grey's sport allmanac. When they comes home they all live in wealth and luxury and JenniferParker looks like she looked in the first movie(played by ClaudiaWells or a lookalike)and it gives a happy ending to the first movie xD In the second movie three neighbours to the first movies aganoists who are envious discover videos that show everything was different just a few days ago.They start stalking the three youths and finds out about the Delorean timemachine.They also finds out about the Grey's sport allmanac.They decide to steal both the delorean and bring with them the Grey's sport allmanac.In 1955 they gives the Grey's sport allmanac to their grandparents.They then goes home to a life in wealth and luxury. In the third and last movie,our three antagonists suddenly wakes up and see everything has changed around them.They see the three neighbour youth now living in wealth and luxury and suspect that they has stolen the delorean and gone back to 1955. They decide to go back themselves and change the events that the three neighbours have caused. But there they meet a young DocBrown that warns them about making any more changes.He tells them he was contacted by his future selves and that he told him to warn eventual other timetravellers.
Crindy Brimbus Thank you so much! I've made a new video. I'd love if you saw it and leave some comments on what I can do next? ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
I had a VHS copy of Back to the Future 3 that was so worn out, the first 10 minutes or so would blur or go light and dark, until about the scene where Marty walks into 1885 Hill Valley
I had a VHS with only the middle part of Part 3. For years I wondered why they had a car in the Old West. Then it would cut to Wallace & Gromit and the Wrong Trousers 😂
Possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen on RUclips! And to think a hour ago I was searching mating calls of the toucan and end up here......... heavy.
I also came from Reddit to see something awkward and maybe give an encouragement thumbs-up (don't doubt yourself!), but this was pretty good for a first video! Keep up the good work, I'll subscribe so I can watch where you go from here. :D
Awesome! I used to have a VHS copy of Back to the Future part 1 as a kid and it always cut off towards the end when Marty was waking up in his bed towards the end before the alarm clock came into view.
Spartan K I've decided to make this series my love letter to VHS era movies. I hope you like the new episode. :) ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
TwoWrights Great video. My VHS copy of Back to the Future was one I recorded from HBO in SLP speed, circa 1986, and that one I watched practically once a week for years...good quality VHS tapes back in the day. Thanks for the memories!!!
Charles Edward I've been reminiscing about the VHS era a bit more lately. I watched BTTF on bluray the other day and it wasn't the same. New video on the way though. Writing it as we speak. If you liked this video, you're going to love the next one. It's bigger.
I never noticed the whole, "Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall" thing at all until earlier this morning lol when I was watching a Back to the Future RUclips review.
My Favorite Movie and Trilogy is Back To The Future.... I am 63 yrs old and still watch it! I think they did a Great Job....the only catch I noticed was the shot of a different speed gage in part 1...it all makes sense to me and I can follow it just fine,...I enjoy your vids but I think you make it too much more confusing than it is! :)
+Fioresi Films Thank you so much. I'm kind of shocked my video took off like that. What was your first move once you started getting an influx of subscribers? It makes me nervous, but motivated to make more.
TwoWrights Yeah man, I would recommend having a schedule for making videos. 1 every week or two is pretty good. If you have any ideas for videos right them down right now so you don't forget. Every video try to do at least one new thing to improve your content. Make sure your having fun. I think you have some good ideas, and wish you luck man!
I would add to your theory this one: Doc killed Original Marty(Eric Stoltz)because he was Biff Tanner's son(Loraine was abused in the original time line on the Night of the Dance Party because George was a coward and let Biff molested)then there was a second(MJ Fox)Marty who doesnt looks like the first since he changed the past
Jack there is no proof Lorraine was molested by Biff at the original dance. Moreover Eric Stoltz, yes was the original Marty in the principal filming but they fired him because Eric lacked the comedic timing the producers wanted. Thus switching to Michael and Michael IS the better Marty
Biff would have no reason to be at the car with Lorraine if Marty wasn't there. Biff went there to beat up Marty for the manure crash. If Marty hadn't have gone back in time, there is no reason for Biff to come to the car.
Dude ive used this same idea to explain that there are two John Connor's who are half brothers. No one knows who the original john connors father is/was. The john connor we know is the half brother whose father is Reese.
Okay, the timing of the "Z, Z, Z" thing cracked me up. (Also here from Reddit, and you should definitely tell everyone you know about this video. Let it be the metric you use to judge people: if they don't like it, dump 'em, they're trash!)
TheMrSparkly Thank you very much! I am keeping at it. New video is already done! Hope you like it. Merry Christmas! ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html

Sniper 13705 Gotta keep you interested somehow. Lol. I like socialising on RUclips. Not everyone is rude. Most people here are great. Plus, people take the time to say nice things, they deserve a response. I hope you liked the video. I'm working on a bigger video explaining my whole BTTF theory. Don't forget to sub if you want me to blow your mind and then put it back together again. :) Cheers mate.
This is quite a clever theory. I've watched these movies so many times and I felt like Austin Powers trying to make sense out of time travel. You know, "oh no, I've gone cross eyed"
Awesome video, also, I don't think you should keep this video from family or friends, it might be silly but the production value is quite good and its really entertaining. You should be proud of it.
+Kevin Vu I'm Australian, but I was raised by American and British entertainment, so it's an odd mix. But mostly Australian. Or as we call it, "Strayan".
When you mentioned watching the end of Grease every time you watched the end of BttF I was sure you were going to connect the flying cars at the end of both movies. This was better.
Here's a bootstrap paradox for you: When was the Delorean invented? Doc saw it in 1955 but "invented" it later on, but he only knew what to do because of what he saw in the past.
+MetsGiantsRangersKnicksNYSports I like this. Maybe Doc's calculations are wrong about the outcome of a paradox. He isn't really sure what will happen. Maybe the universe has guided Doc with the vision of the flux capacitor. The flux capacitor can regulate the changes in the timeline, which allows it to be controlled and that's how time travel is possible. But the flux capacitor itself is a paradox. Where did the idea come from? A vision? Quite unscientific. More metaphysical. Why would the universe want a flux capacitor in existence? Because it contains timeline paradoxes by melding the previous timeline with whatever one it is currently in. You've seen the box. Two lines in, one line out. It's overwriting the timelines by knitting then together. It's why you can't jump forward to an old timeline (e.g. Biffworld can't be changed back to regular 1985 by going back to 2015). So in my theory, the flux capacitor itself is the result of a paradox in the space time continuum and the universe created it to combat against the effects that Doc and Marty would have on the universe itself.
@@TwoWrights I'm sure it's not intentional but I always loved the flux capacitor being Y shaped. In Part II Doc is explaining the alternate 1985 they find themselves in drawing the horizontal X axis as the left-to-right normal flow of time. Then he draws the new timeline branching off on the Y axis. It always seemed like the flux capacitor, in an otherwise flat X axis time flow, caused the Y axis to exist both mechanically and representationally.
@@gonesnake2337 Can I just say that the last response from 2 years ago led me down a path to make this even more meta. There's a hint about a minute into this video.... ruclips.net/video/YM-uykVfq_E/видео.html Enjoy.
I like your explanation about huey lewis. That actually made seance. Also OG Doc would have been killed by the Terrorists leaving the time machine just standing there for OG Marty to find and take. You also explain how Doc and Marty would have met. It all fits !
I just now noticed on the cover art of these three movies that Marty is standing there for part 1, Marty AND Doc for part 2. finally Marty, Doc, AND Clara for part 3...yeah.
That's a good one. Might I throw.q theory out as well?. A proper reboot is a possibility because there's still a delorean in the cave. I'm not going to spoil it BUT do the math in your heads. Keep us posted when you make that video!
I've noticed something about Bttf 2 no one ever mentions. Being my video editing software sucks, feel free to make it if you want. In the scene at Docs lab where he explains the alternate timelines, he says "look what has happened to me" and shows a newpaper article saying he has been committed. Now the date they are in is one day after the first Marty shown in part 1 went back to 1955, comes back to 1985, Doc shows up the next morning, they go to 2015 then back to 1985. The date is still the day after Marty originally went back to 1955 etc. Now, if Doc has been committed, it means he didn't get to show Marty the Delorean the day before, and the alternate timeline couldn't exist as there is no time machine for old Biff to steal in the first place. Hence, paradox. But, that wouldn't make a good movie, but none the less a major plothole.
This is a hypothesis: Time travel is very tricky. I like to combine different time travel theories and compare. What I believe is that when Biff altered the timeline back in 1955, it took some time before 2015 was even changed. While this was happening, Marty and Doc traveled back to 1985, but not their 1985. I think that because of the time travel aspect of their journey, they became a sort of paradoxes themselves. I refer to The Flash T.V show. At the end of the second season and the beginning of the third, Barry changed the timeline to suit his needs; however, he was living there in the new reality for like three months before something started to give (mainly him). I think that when you time travel, you become somewhat misplaced in time; meaning that if something were to happen that would alter your timeline, you would not feel the effects of this change for some time, at least not until time has caught up with you. As time rewrites itself, you should be unaffected for a brief period. Now depending on what you change and how big of an impact this brings, you could stay safe for a few years, or a few minutes; this is why Biff immediately started to disappear after he got back to 2015. Note: if you read the theories, Biff was shot by Lorraine (Marty’s mother) around the 1990s I believe. So, when Doc and Marty ended up in 1985A, they had some time before being rewritten by the time-space continuum. You do see some effects, namely with the DeLorean. I believe that the DeLorean was the first to feel the effects of the paradox because as you said, if Doc was committed, then no time machine. When they do fix the timeline, it was a bit too late when Doc and the DeLorean were struck by lightning and sent back to 1885. This is just a theory, so I hope you enjoy it.
1985-A is a tangent timeline, the timeline of the original movie is a closed loop. They show this with Einstein in the first experiment, where his watch is one minute slow because he skipped over it to arrive one minute into the future. Doc and Marty return to 1985A, from 2015, after leaving from 1985, not 2015A, and then they go back to 1955 before the A-timeline can exist. In other words, because they prevented a change that, to them, had never originally occurred, their timeline was being enforced all along, so there's not actually any conflict.
While I applaud your creative theory and the quality of your video, your theory doesn't make any sense. If Doc purposely sends Marty(Alternate version) back in time, it would still not save the original Marty. Instead there would still be two Marty's. The original Marty(car thief), and then the one that Doc befriends(The good Marty). The good Marty would go back in time, then be sent back to the future again. But the original Marty would still be alive somewhere, living his own life. If the 1955 Doc really wanted to keep the original Marty from getting trapped in 1955, all he would need to do is to stop his time travel research, destroy the Delorian, and never create the time machine in the first place.. Without a time machine, the original Marty wouldn't have a time machine to steal. The original Marty would never have gone back in time. Another way Doc could prevent the whole thing is to just wait it out. Until the original Marty is born. Doc could befriend him and guide him. Then he never becomes a rebellious teen who decides to steal the Delorian. So he never goes back in time.
If he stopped his research and destroyed the Delorean so he never invented it, and OG Marty never stole it and went back, Doc would have no reason not to continue his research because to him there was never an OG Marty. Him just waiting it out is what this theory supports. He waits it out and nurtures friendship with Marty. That creates a Marty that's different than the Marty who stole the car.
There some theories that support what you say. But in this movie's universe the car thief Marty would dissappear as soon as the good Marty travels back to 1985.
The one thing everyone forgets about time travel is every time you travel back in time you create a new dimension (timeline). You don't change the one you came from because just by being there you have created a new timeline.
Not if there's only one timeline. Don't trust Doc's explaination of how time travel works. There's evidence in the movies that imply he doesn't know what he's doing.
@@TwoWrights Marty didn't actually "steal" the Delorean time machine because he was so rebellious. He just jumped inside and started driving; so he could outrun the Libyan extremists who were shooting at him... So he's not really a car thief in that sense...
Just letting you know that I had to subscribe after watching your excellent video! I'm envisioning a bogus journey looking through your previous videos ;)
so growing up marty has been listening to hugy lewis's songs but in reality he has been listening to OG marty's songs so this film takes place in an alternate unevirse in hill vally a fictional calaforian town where he loves listening to a rockstar's song but in reality he has been listening to an alternate version of himself singing
This is the apotheosis of crazy film theories.
It makes perfect sense in the micro environment; it makes perfect sense in the outside of film macro environment.
It makes the movie so much better knowing this theory.
Wait until you see the follow up. I am gonna save the BTTF trilogy from all the other depressing fan theories out here. :)
no it doesnt "make perfect sense" ..
first off there are 2 DeLoreans in 1955
the 1985 one
the 2015 flying one
and the 1885 one which Doc rebuilds the time circuits with 1955 parts .. and also has Mr. Fusion so it doesnt need any lightning strikes to get the 1.21 Gigawatts ...
this "theory" is utter crap
Wow. Three negative comments within 10 minutes. You’re obviously writing these before you get to the end of the video. You’re trying to find fault in it so you can make negative comments. Just chill out dude. It’s not serious.
He is right though. I was digging your theory until you the part with the 2 deloreans came up. you didn't even address it or try to explain. OG Marty brings the first one back and then moves to LA and Doc keeps it. Then Doc fixes it in 1985 and Marty brings it back to 1955 again, where Doc already has it in storage. So then which one does he fix and put the hook on? does the other one just stay in storage? What is his reasoning for not telling marty 2 about it? Also Doc is surprised and in denial at first when Marty 2 comes to him, when he should have been expecting him. Also when Marty 2 went back it accidentally/randomly chose the date, not sure how doc could have planned that. Or if/how/when OG Marty went back. Same time in 1955 or a totally different time? Just seems like creates more questions than it answers. good premise though.
I set it up like that. The whole theory is much bigger than this video. The answers will be coming in the next videos. Working on it now. I’m just trying to get it right.

Update - May 2020
I've had a lot of interest in the follow up video over the years. I want you all to know that I am still working on it. I know it seems ridiculous but I want it to be perfect. I think during my exploration to make my theory work, I managed to fill all the plot holes in the trilogy. But to explain it in an entertaining way has been proving difficult. I want to make something really special for all of my subscribers and fans of Back To The Future. If you're going to build a grand unified theory of back to the future, why not do it with some style, right? I think my theory celebrates everything great about BTTF and makes the movies even better than they already are. I'm so glad you have kept interest and kept asking questions this whole time. Trust me, I want to finish this too. Making this theory together with my wife Liana is the biggest hobby we have and we want to let you all in on the fun. Just stick with us a little longer. It will happen and it will be worth the wait.
See you all soon, hopefully
100% commitment. I mean seriously, working on a theory for 3 years
You got this! As David Bowie would say, you little wonder you.
stay safe with Corona going on!
I just discovered part 1 today and, as a fellow BttF fan, I _love_ this theory and how you're exploring it! Best of luck creating the follow-up(s)! 🎉
Where tf is part 2?
An unrelated point, but I wish Part II was about Marty having to get his future son to prevent a major paradox, bonding with him in the process, just like he does with George in the first film. For fun, you could have Martin McFly Junior finding the 1985 version of his mother, Jennifer, attractive, just as Lorraine “had the hots” for Marty in 1955.
Part III is where Biff picks up on Marty and Doc’s time travelling escapades and then you have the alternate 1985. The latter half of the ACTUAL Back To The Future Pt. II is combined with the ACTUAL entirety of Pt. III (in the West) to make a 3 hour, epic conclusion. To top it all off, the time machine is not destroyed in this version, and Doc passes it down to Marty and Jennifer for safe-keeping, claiming he now wishes to go to a wonderful future that hasn’t been written yet; raising his family. This is not to hint at future sequels, only to reignite the wonderment the first film leaves you with; "Roads? Where we’re going we don’t NEED... Roads".
Bro...........I wish u wrote BTTF pt2 and 3
One theory is that the McFly's never existed. Doc Brown accidentally saved Shaemus thus starting a new timeline. Doc's interest in Marty is no accident. Doc interfered already and used Marty as a Martyr. Doc intended on fixing the timeline, but ended up loving Marty and seeing him as a son. So, Doc wanted to save Marty even at the sacrifice of himself. A theory "It ends where it all started" in 1885. Doc was especially unhappy when Marty arrived in 1885.
+Shaun I have heard that theory before. And it’s very close to the theory that I have, that I’m going to be making a video about soon. Hope you enjoy the video! :-)
Good video.
Another one has to do with religious symbolism. Emmitt is time time is known as Cronos, also the creator of time and space. MARTY is also equal to Jesus, the son. Whom Doc created, to be a Martyr. it goes pretty deep, but in order to really know what the director is saying, you have to know what are Roberts interest and passions. Is he a free mason. Knowing his mind is key to understanding the story.
+Shaun I’ve seen that one too. I think to understand the full wider story (or in Gale and Zemeckis’ case, to create the wider story) you need to have rules for how the Flux Capacitor works. Any theory that doesn’t put that into some kind of working context can’t be solid enough to stand up to scrutiny. No one has ever sat down and figured it out yet. But give me a few weeks. ;)
@@TwoWrights But in 1885, Seamus already had a son, William who was Marty's great-grandfather. Even if Seamus died, his son would still go on to have his descendants including Marty. Unless we're assuming his father's death alters the course of his life to make him marry someone else. Or unless he saved William, the baby or the whole family.
If they made another back to the future id want this as the storyline...fantastic!
First reply
david myrick I would like to see a back to the future movie with good graphics
Agreed
I love this theory. Going to watch it again just see how this fits and feels with the new twist. I'd love to see what your brain would do with watching The Usual Suspects 1,000 times.
james mckey I'm probably close 50 times on Usual Suspects. And I do have it in my box of VHS tapes. Maybe I'll dig it out.
i have watched 100s of videos online about the back to the future movie. and this is the best theory yet.
N ROOD theory wouldn’t work tho cause if it was true why wouldn’t doc just not send Marty in the past also if he ruined Marty’s life and Marty messed his parents relationship up then Marty wouldn’t be born and dock wouldn’t track down the McFly family because they would t be together or Marty wouldn’t exist
You’re not thinking fourth dimensionally.
TwoWrights what?
TwoWrights it’s a good theory tho but I just thought in my head it wouldn’t work but it’s interesting
Doc never sent Marty to the last. Doc died and Marty tried to drive away. It was an accident. Doc doesn’t know how what’s going to happen if he changes history, so he tried to plan for every eventuality. If what we see in the movie isn’t the original timeline, then we don’t even know who OG Marty’s father was. It couldn’t have been George if OG Marty looked like Eric Stolz. Trust me, once you start going down the rabbit hole on this thing, it just gets more confusing. The full theory is going to be a very long video. I’ve been adding to it for years.
Oh shit, this was one of the best videos I've EVER seen on RUclips. Purely incredible, well done
+Captain C Music Thank you so much. I’m so glad people are still enjoying this video. More to come.
This has now been added to my "head canon" for watching Back to the Future.
Well done sir!
+Pepâ la Pow Wait until I make the video of my entire theory.
I feel compelled to tell you, I also watched BTTF every day after ALL of high school, on VHS (of course) back to back. So, sometimes 3 times in a day. Why was I so fascinated by it, like you? I think a lot of people were. Going back to change things in our past, is the 20/20 hindsight that we ALL universally wish for; and this movie gave us that fantasy, to play out in our minds. Just my opinion.
I totally agree. I think it teaches a lot of wholesome lessons that can be applied to your own outlook on life. I like that most people's fantasy of time travel is that they can go back and fix the mistakes they've made in life. But BTTF gives you that but also shows that what you already have is worth saving, and if you work to save it, you life will be better for it. Great comment mate.
Its an enchantment... see it . Hidden in plain sight... Hollywood magic
Came from Reddit expecting a slightly amateur video, but this is actually fucking hilarious. Please make more!
Seconded. Very, very funny.
Jackie Valentine Thank you Jackie! I was inspired to make a new video after this one got so much attention. I hope you like it. ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
The nostalgy has gained youtself another subscriber, well done
What a fantastic theory. This would be an amazing prequel. Well done!
Awesome video dude! Keep it up. I enjoyed the theory and the humor was great. Good shit man!
Came from the Reddit thread about things you're proud of but can't tell people. This is a quality video, dude. Keep it up.
Will Haskins Thanks Will! I am trying to give this a real go. I made a new video. Let me know what you think. :) ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
Came here from reddit, too. You're justly proud of your work. I'm no Back To The Future fan, but I really enjoyed watching this video.
Well now look what you've done, now I'm obsessed with this video and rewatching it again and again.
Any questions?
I came here for BTTF fun, enjoyed reminiscing about watching videos in the 80's, then got floored by your cracking theory. Eric was the icing on cake. Great work all round!
+Matt Bell I'm so glad that it has an audience. I thought this would be some fun thing for me to make for my friends. I never thought it would get 10 views. I think it's time for a new video. I'm finally starting a new one today. Don't forget to subscribe to see the next one. I think I've solved a long standing BTTF mystery and I think if people got blown away with this theory, they are going to love the next one.
Already done :-) I don't often subscribe after only 1 video but you'd won me over before it even got to the Eric Stolz part.
We too had videos that were mixes of one shorter film crossed with another, longer one. In some cases these "mix tapes" were so beloved I ended up transferring then onto DVD like that! I'm just a product if the 80s I guess :-D
+Matt Bell Me too. I was born in 79, wife was born in 88. So our breadth of pop culture knowledge is pretty wide, but our formative years of childhood consumption lasts from about 83 through to 2000.
It's probably no surprise that I was born in 1977, since our recollections of the era are so similar!
My wife was born in 1978 though, so our collective knowledge of pop culture peters out a little earlier than your household's I suspect. We also come from different parts of the UK (I'm from southern England, she's from North Wales) so we both grew up with slightly different programs on TV: Lots more regional diversity back then! ;-)
+Matt Bell I sometimes think I'm lucky for growing up when I did. Especially as a movie fan. I got to reap the wealth of creativity that Star Wars and Jaws inspired in the industry, but before it hit critical mass and dived into a money grab. We got to experience Back To The Future, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Big, Big Trouble In Little China, Ferris Beullers Day Off, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Beauty and The Beast, and thousands of others. Then Phantom Menace hit and ruined the studio system by showing the studios that you don't need to make a good movie to make the most amount of money if you market it right. Our attentions are pulled in hundreds of ways a day and it's hard to love movies like I used to, but I don't think people who grew up after the Star Wars prequels have any context for new quality film. But we didn't have the internet or streaming video on demand. There's a lot more choice available so you don't have to discern anything to find entertainment. Same as how all your questions can find an answer immediately through google. But you're only getting the answer you're looking for most of the time. When your opportunity to make choices is diminished then your ability to make good choices is unpracticed. Do you stare at Netflix for ages trying to chose something to commit to? We never did that when we were kids. We watched what was on. It wasn't always good, but you found great moments in good and bad movies. But we knew how to judge it. Millenials have never had to figure out what was good or bad. So we end up with 8 Fast/Furious movies, Tim Burton can't make good movies anymore, the DC movie franchise is a thing even though every movie they've made is decidedly awful (haven't seen WW yet though), and everybody thinks La La Land is an Oscar worthy film. The reason everything is a sequel, reboot, or franchise now is because it makes a choice for the target audience. Do you like superheroes? Here's some superheroes. It's the answer they've been looking for. The studio system is now just another search result. But we all miss out on the search and discovery because of it. And that was the true joy of being a movie fan in the first place. Food for thought.
Holy hell. This is actually pretty well made! Please make some more! :D
WTF I was expecting really amateur video making skills... good work man!
mirrormimi Thank you Mimi! The attention this got inspired me to make another video. Here it is. :) ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
You're so getting laid dude 😜
WERE ALL GETTING LAID!!!!
Can’t believe you didn’t mention Doc setting the time circuits to 1955 and saying under his breath “of course, November 5th, 1955!” Because that is what REALLY makes this theory make sense!
What a great theory! It honestly adds up way better than I would have expected! Hope you do more crazy theories!
Ok, aint gonna lie...that last picture of Rocky Dennis scared the living Elton John out of me
Great theory bruv!
Same bruh
This was very enjoyable, you should be proud. Based on your Reddit comment I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but this was good!
This was great...best part was how Doc rigged up the electrical “For fuck’s sake”. Dying laughing 😂
After Marty got hit by his Gramp's car, he really should have gone to the hospital for concussion to the head or potentially broken bones.
Brilliant!
Even explaining Huey Lewis' cameo within the context of the film. That made me laugh 😂
Came from reddit, this was awesome, thank you so much for posting.
Thanks for a good laugh, mate! This is quality content here.
Wiss Miss Thank you so much! I'm going to try and make these regularly. Here's the new one. ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
Everyone who views this will now watch bttf with brand new eyes, well done sir, this is the stuff that dreams are made off and you have single handedlu (with the wife of course!) done something that all fans will love and appreciate, I vote you should present your idea to the powers that be and would make a fine script for bttf part 4 . Thank you and my hat is completely off to you sir!
Hey mate, just wanted to say how incredible this theory is. I really enjoyed it and BTTF is one of my favourite films of all time.
I would like to point out how Doc's calculations when the alarm clock goes off are wrong, doc tells marty to go as soon as the alarm clock rings but the car shuts down and marty goes a little while after still making the wire in time, possibly eluding to the fact that doc's done this more than once (multiple marty's running around in 1955) and in fact rigged the car to stall so marty would make it in time.
+Dethicus_M Thanks man. I just think Marty drove faster in his panic and made it just in time.
@@TwoWrights Your theory was really awesome! I have a personal history/timeline that Im working on That Goes in a direction that I think will be really awesome and keep the integrity of the time line. Yours and the original!
Coming soon!
Keep up the great work.
I got something coming soon too. Keep posted.
Whoa, this is a great idea - very fun. Safe to assume there's a constant loop of Martys going round and round... so why not.
This idea is so f*cking good, I already consider it canon.
Thanks. There will be more to add soon-ish. You’re gonna lose it when you see where that workshopping took me.
This is awesome, love your theory on the space time continuum. Very exciting can't wait to see part 2
Great Scott! This is heavy!
My idea for a Backtothefuture sequel trilogy is as follows: It is fourty years since the events in the three movies.
DocBrown's house have been abadonned for
fourty years and is in a shabby state.Three youths who live nearby goes there to clean up the place and make it ready for a sale.
While they are cleaning the house they find the scematics for the delorean and how the fluxcapasator makes timetravels possible.
They also find a video which shows one of the youths mother(possible Jennifer Parker)and she looks totally different than she looks today.
the youths also sees DocBrown holding a newspaper where Biff has the Grey's sport allmanac in his pocket from 1955.
They decide to build a new Delorean from DocBrown's scematics.
When they are finnished they decide to bring the Grey's sport allmanac(which is in common sale in 2022) with them.
They goes back to 1955 and knows allready that MartyMcFly detained JenniferParkers father when he took the caseboard apart in the first movie to use it as
a regular board.The youths prevent this from happening by giving MartyMcFly another board to stand on while flying away from Biff.
They also gives their fathers the Grey's sport allmanac.
When they comes home they all live in wealth and luxury
and JenniferParker looks like she looked in the first movie(played by ClaudiaWells or a lookalike)and it gives a happy ending to the first movie xD
In the second movie three neighbours to the first movies aganoists who are envious discover videos that show everything was different just a few days
ago.They start stalking the three youths and finds out about the Delorean timemachine.They also finds out about the Grey's sport allmanac.They decide
to steal both the delorean and bring with them the Grey's sport allmanac.In 1955 they gives the Grey's sport allmanac to their grandparents.They then
goes home to a life in wealth and luxury.
In the third and last movie,our three antagonists suddenly wakes up and see everything has changed around them.They see the three
neighbour youth now living in wealth and luxury and suspect that they has stolen the delorean and gone back to 1955.
They decide to go back themselves and change the events that the three neighbours have caused.
But there they meet a young DocBrown that warns them about making any more changes.He tells them he was contacted by his future
selves and that he told him to warn eventual other timetravellers.
The first Jennifer was waaaaay hotter.
@@mremptytheeclip9420 Recast of actors/actresses was often a mistake ?

I used to have a VHS copy of Back to the Future part 1 as a kid and it always cut off towards the end when Marty was waking up in his bed towards the end before the alarm clock came into view.
Spartan K So you watched Marty go through all that struggle to get home and you didn't even get the pay off? Lol. That sucks.

Charles Edward I've been reminiscing about the VHS era a bit more lately. I watched BTTF on bluray the other day and it wasn't the same. New video on the way though. Writing it as we speak. If you liked this video, you're going to love the next one. It's bigger.
Love the theory, it makes a lot of sense too! Great stuff, I'd love to hear more!
I never noticed the whole, "Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall" thing at all until earlier this morning lol when I was watching a Back to the Future RUclips review.
Wow, this is really great. I really was amazed by how the time line could be very different. Great job.
everything that had happened in 2 and 3 is in an alternate timeline from when Marty pushed his father out of the way of the car.
Wow, this is amazing! Great job man!
My Favorite Movie and Trilogy is Back To The Future.... I am 63 yrs old and still watch it! I think they did a Great Job....the only catch I noticed was the shot of a different speed gage in part 1...it all makes sense to me and I can follow it just fine,...I enjoy your vids but I think you make it too much more confusing than it is! :)
Yay
Awesome video, really great style and sense of humour!
This is one of the cleverest vids I've ever seen! Awesome work!! New subbie here!!
Brilliant theory, lookng forward to part 2!

Every video try to do at least one new thing to improve your content. Make sure your having fun. I think you have some good ideas, and wish you luck man!

Fioresi Films I finished another video. I'd appreciate some feedback, if you've got the time. ruclips.net/video/hra0LnidOVA/видео.html
Your reddit comment sent me here but your video made me stay. As a fellow Back To The Future fan, I loved this! You should keep making videos :)
I am working on the next one right now. This blew up bigger than I was expecting.
I would add to your theory this one: Doc killed Original Marty(Eric Stoltz)because he was Biff Tanner's son(Loraine was abused in the original time line on the Night of the Dance Party because George was a coward and let Biff molested)then there was a second(MJ Fox)Marty who doesnt looks like the first since he changed the past
But Marty wouldn't be Biff's kid, he's not the oldest.
Yea not a very good theory
Jack there is no proof Lorraine was molested by Biff at the original dance.
Moreover Eric Stoltz, yes was the original Marty in the principal filming but they fired him because Eric lacked the comedic timing the producers wanted. Thus switching to Michael and Michael IS the better Marty
Biff would have no reason to be at the car with Lorraine if Marty wasn't there. Biff went there to beat up Marty for the manure crash. If Marty hadn't have gone back in time, there is no reason for Biff to come to the car.
Dude ive used this same idea to explain that there are two John Connor's who are half brothers. No one knows who the original john connors father is/was. The john connor we know is the half brother whose father is Reese.
I have seen BTTF enough times to totally buy your theory. Thanks for sharing!
I'm here for the Sesame Street "Z" interruption.
I watched this video a year ago but the RUclips algorithm turned it up again...your theory is STILL awesome! :-)

Back in the days I've had an E-300-VHS-Tape with all three parts without the credit-stuff between the movies. I really kinda miss that a bit. ^^
Also this totally makes Emmet Brown way more like Rick Sanchez. Irony!
Artemis Vega are you sure that Rick Sanchez isn’t Doc Brown?
This is quite a clever theory. I've watched these movies so many times and I felt like Austin Powers trying to make sense out of time travel. You know, "oh no, I've gone cross eyed"
"Whoooaa.. that's heavy!"

EFX Hello Reddit!
TwoWrights what's your accent?
+Kevin Vu I'm Australian, but I was raised by American and British entertainment, so it's an odd mix. But mostly Australian. Or as we call it, "Strayan".

The Princess Bride.
Jason Rogers Inconceivable.
When you mentioned watching the end of Grease every time you watched the end of BttF I was sure you were going to connect the flying cars at the end of both movies. This was better.
Omg I love this theory! This is now my accepted head-cannon. Great job!
Oh man, if this is head cannon for you, the next one is going to mess you up.
Here's a bootstrap paradox for you: When was the Delorean invented? Doc saw it in 1955 but "invented" it later on, but he only knew what to do because of what he saw in the past.
+MetsGiantsRangersKnicksNYSports I like this. Maybe Doc's calculations are wrong about the outcome of a paradox. He isn't really sure what will happen. Maybe the universe has guided Doc with the vision of the flux capacitor. The flux capacitor can regulate the changes in the timeline, which allows it to be controlled and that's how time travel is possible. But the flux capacitor itself is a paradox. Where did the idea come from? A vision? Quite unscientific. More metaphysical. Why would the universe want a flux capacitor in existence? Because it contains timeline paradoxes by melding the previous timeline with whatever one it is currently in. You've seen the box. Two lines in, one line out. It's overwriting the timelines by knitting then together. It's why you can't jump forward to an old timeline (e.g. Biffworld can't be changed back to regular 1985 by going back to 2015). So in my theory, the flux capacitor itself is the result of a paradox in the space time continuum and the universe created it to combat against the effects that Doc and Marty would have on the universe itself.
@@TwoWrights I'm sure it's not intentional but I always loved the flux capacitor being Y shaped. In Part II Doc is explaining the alternate 1985 they find themselves in drawing the horizontal X axis as the left-to-right normal flow of time. Then he draws the new timeline branching off on the Y axis.
It always seemed like the flux capacitor, in an otherwise flat X axis time flow, caused the Y axis to exist both mechanically and representationally.

That's a good one. Might I throw.q theory out as well?. A proper reboot is a possibility because there's still a delorean in the cave. I'm not going to spoil it BUT do the math in your heads. Keep us posted when you make that video!
I've noticed something about Bttf 2 no one ever mentions. Being my video editing software sucks, feel free to make it if you want. In the scene at Docs lab where he explains the alternate timelines, he says "look what has happened to me" and shows a newpaper article saying he has been committed. Now the date they are in is one day after the first Marty shown in part 1 went back to 1955, comes back to 1985, Doc shows up the next morning, they go to 2015 then back to 1985. The date is still the day after Marty originally went back to 1955 etc. Now, if Doc has been committed, it means he didn't get to show Marty the Delorean the day before, and the alternate timeline couldn't exist as there is no time machine for old Biff to steal in the first place. Hence, paradox. But, that wouldn't make a good movie, but none the less a major plothole.
Yeah, you're right. We have to allow a pretty liberal "suspension of disbelief" to just sit back and enjoy most time travel movies...
This is a hypothesis: Time travel is very tricky. I like to combine different time travel theories and compare. What I believe is that when Biff altered the timeline back in 1955, it took some time before 2015 was even changed. While this was happening, Marty and Doc traveled back to 1985, but not their 1985. I think that because of the time travel aspect of their journey, they became a sort of paradoxes themselves. I refer to The Flash T.V show. At the end of the second season and the beginning of the third, Barry changed the timeline to suit his needs; however, he was living there in the new reality for like three months before something started to give (mainly him). I think that when you time travel, you become somewhat misplaced in time; meaning that if something were to happen that would alter your timeline, you would not feel the effects of this change for some time, at least not until time has caught up with you. As time rewrites itself, you should be unaffected for a brief period. Now depending on what you change and how big of an impact this brings, you could stay safe for a few years, or a few minutes; this is why Biff immediately started to disappear after he got back to 2015.
Note: if you read the theories, Biff was shot by Lorraine (Marty’s mother) around the 1990s I believe.
So, when Doc and Marty ended up in 1985A, they had some time before being rewritten by the time-space continuum. You do see some effects, namely with the DeLorean. I believe that the DeLorean was the first to feel the effects of the paradox because as you said, if Doc was committed, then no time machine. When they do fix the timeline, it was a bit too late when Doc and the DeLorean were struck by lightning and sent back to 1885. This is just a theory, so I hope you enjoy it.
1985-A is a tangent timeline, the timeline of the original movie is a closed loop. They show this with Einstein in the first experiment, where his watch is one minute slow because he skipped over it to arrive one minute into the future. Doc and Marty return to 1985A, from 2015, after leaving from 1985, not 2015A, and then they go back to 1955 before the A-timeline can exist. In other words, because they prevented a change that, to them, had never originally occurred, their timeline was being enforced all along, so there's not actually any conflict.
Mind BLOWN!!! Congrats mate you just cracked the ultimate question that is Back to The Future!
While I applaud your creative theory and the quality of your video, your theory doesn't make any sense. If Doc purposely sends Marty(Alternate version) back in time, it would still not save the original Marty. Instead there would still be two Marty's. The original Marty(car thief), and then the one that Doc befriends(The good Marty). The good Marty would go back in time, then be sent back to the future again. But the original Marty would still be alive somewhere, living his own life.
If the 1955 Doc really wanted to keep the original Marty from getting trapped in 1955, all he would need to do is to stop his time travel research, destroy the Delorian, and never create the time machine in the first place.. Without a time machine, the original Marty wouldn't have a time machine to steal. The original Marty would never have gone back in time.
Another way Doc could prevent the whole thing is to just wait it out. Until the original Marty is born. Doc could befriend him and guide him. Then he never becomes a rebellious teen who decides to steal the Delorian. So he never goes back in time.
If he stopped his research and destroyed the Delorean so he never invented it, and OG Marty never stole it and went back, Doc would have no reason not to continue his research because to him there was never an OG Marty.
Him just waiting it out is what this theory supports. He waits it out and nurtures friendship with Marty. That creates a Marty that's different than the Marty who stole the car.
There some theories that support what you say. But in this movie's universe the car thief Marty would dissappear as soon as the good Marty travels back to 1985.
The one thing everyone forgets about time travel is every time you travel back in time you create a new dimension (timeline). You don't change the one you came from because just by being there you have created a new timeline.
Not if there's only one timeline. Don't trust Doc's explaination of how time travel works. There's evidence in the movies that imply he doesn't know what he's doing.
@@TwoWrights Marty didn't actually "steal" the Delorean time machine because he was so rebellious. He just jumped inside and started driving; so he could outrun the Libyan extremists who were shooting at him... So he's not really a car thief in that sense...
Just letting you know that I had to subscribe after watching your excellent video! I'm envisioning a bogus journey looking through your previous videos ;)
+ModernRelik Party on dude!
great video, reddit sent me!
Erick Rod Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't know if people would. I haven't made a video like this before. I'm already working on the next video.
Me too, well via the "Frozen video". :D
Thanks bro!
Keep up the great work!
Reddit sent me, show everyone, this is the best thing ever, I couldn't look away, or stop using commas
Marty looks like Eric Stoltz in the timeline where that red haired guy pushes George down at the dance and he doesn't fight back
Ahh, you’ve figured out part of Part 3 of my theory. It’ll happen one day.
so growing up marty has been listening to hugy lewis's songs but in reality he has been listening to OG marty's songs so this film takes place in an alternate unevirse in hill vally a fictional calaforian town where he loves listening to a rockstar's song but in reality he has been listening to an alternate version of himself singing
woh this is heavy
great scot
OMG im so cringey XD
is hugy lewis a real person in this universe or is he OG marty's cover up name
i love this theory so mutch
+WheeldLight44 Yes. The universe has quarantined Hill Valley in its own space time continuum loop, so as to not disturb the rest of existence.
I’m so cringe
Love your theory! Makes sense! Enjoyed watching it! Thanks!
