Quinton Reviews 13 seconds in... so far; we are on exactly the same page
This wasn't a Furry Vengeance review, Quinton
DON'T NEED NO CREDIT CARD TO RIDE THIS TRAIN
How come you didn`t talk about Biff to the future? :c
@John T. Phoenix What are you on dude and who are you even talking to? Also wing is hot garbage, mech designs are decent, but everything else about it is trash though.
Back to the Future 3 is one of the most underappreciated movies ever if you ask me.
I think it deserves a little bit more love
it really wrapped up the movies and had a lot of heart. i’m glad they stopped because we don’t need to have another conclusion
I agree but what didn’t like was that doc ended up with Clara and built the train version,
Agreed, though the kid itching his balls in the end kinda ruined it for me.
It’s my least favorite of the trilogy, but I still think it’s a great movie.
"Isn't it amazing that we humans know what to do to save ourselves, but yet we don't act on it?"
It sure is, Doc. It sure is.
It's only at the precipice when people change...
If only we had heeded Doc's warning 30 years ago the coronavirus would've been avoided
Yup 😔
@@jeahavvalentin980 Nope. That's China's fault.
@@MrPAULONEAL And for good reason. Otherwise the science is too messy to pitch spending millions on something that "looks" like it can be helped.
“Great Scott Marty, I went to the year 2017, and I saw a man... turn himself... into a pickle! It was the funniest shit I’ve ever seen Marty!”
Full circle
Wait a minute Doc, are you telling me a man... Turned himself into a pickle?
The meme has peaked
@@NatetheNerdy precisely!
Marty and Morty
If you haven't already, look of the mini comic series "Biff To The Future, " which shows what Biff did after he was given the almanac by his future self and created the alternate 1985.
Jesse Torres oh man I gotta find that
Jesse Torres and before he became the 45th president of the United States?
I have it
@@jblue1622 How original. :b
@Yoda’s Meme Hut that's actually a deleted scene in the movie which not many people know about
_"Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one."_
*~ Emmett "Doc" Brown*
i subbed to you to see if it was the same guy, I see you at batman vids spider-man vids and i bet even back to the future vids
Dude I just got PRK laser eyesurgery and it was so fucking painful! Clockwork orange looked like a walk in the park after that. But they literally put that metal device on my eyes!
"Unless it turns out bad. Then just use a time machine."
-- Also Doc Brown
I hear there was a cartoon parody of Doc and Marty that came out a few years ago. They changed the names to avoid getting sued, obviously.
Richard and mortimer????? 😳😳
@@HeatherButt believe it or not but Rick and Morty started out as doc and mharti. You can still find some of the old cartoons online. Supposedly they were trying to get a copyright action when they made the original.
agenerichuman What has happened was Justin made a Bill Cosby parody that got a cease and desist from Cosby’s lawyers which he found funny, so he wanted to do the same which “The Real Adventures of Doc and Mharti”. Probably doesn’t want them to know about it nowadays though.
@@LemonMoon That's The story. I knew it was something like that.
Heard only people with high IQs could understand that show though. Idk, sounds like it's not for me.
So we’re just gonna forget the “a Million Ways To Die In The West” cameo?
Everything about that movie should be forgotten
@@Justinsdada03 it felt like a half decent SNL sketch that got stretched out to an ungodly runtime
Never realized that it's a Seth MacFarlane film. That's basically Lone Ranger with Family Guy humor.
The only other thing I remember from that movie is the post credits scene where Django from Django unchained shows up
Doc's appearance in the movie could imply that Seth MacFarline's terrible western spoof is canon to Back to the Future.
So you're telling me there was a Back to the Future tv show that inspired both Bill Nye and Rick and Morty? That's crazy!
more like that’s heavy
In my opinion, Back To The Future is the most consistent film trilogy (at least in terms of quality).
Lords of the Rings.
and How To Train Your Dragon!
Original Spiderman Trilogy
David Adams i agree but a lot of people don’t :/
Original Star Wars
One of my favourite moments from the animated show was where Marty is in the past where a younger Doc doesn't know him, and he introduces himself as Michael J. Fox. Verne then remarks that Marty kind of looks like "that Michael J. Fox guy".
That reminds me how in 2015, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd showed up on Jimmy Kimmel's show, while in character as Marty McFly and Doc Brown, and Kimmel asks if they want to stick around, he has Michael J. Fox on as one of his guests for that episode. Fox, in character as Marty, goes, "Oh, the guy from Teen Wolf?"
People criticize BttF 2? I will choose to remain blissfully ignorant of those criticisms that movie is perfect.
Since your opinion doesnt match mine that means you're wrong and a "stoopid poop head"
Yeah that was always my favourite of the 3. I thought most shared that opinion. It's probably not as solid and perfect a story and movie as the first one talking objectively, but it's all the cool future stuff in it that I just love, like the self tightening shoes, like the hoverboard, and so on. It has the most charm to it of any of the movies. Just all the extra stuff that doesn't necessarily affect the plot all that much, the window dressing if you will.
Now the 3rd one, doesn't everybody agree that's probably the worst one overall? I dunno, I just don't like westerns most of the time. But it does have a good emotional core going for it, more so than the first 2. So weird that that was the one they tried to make into the most ambitious of all the BttF video games. The Mega Drive one. And it is a god damn terrible game. The best BttF game was the one that for some stupid reason was only ever released in. It was based on the second movie and is a kind of platformer + skateboarding game combined into one, and yet it works really well. Why tf didn't they release that one and the West just got terrible nes and mega drive/genesis games instead? At least it's easy to emulate it these days and it being in Japanese doesn't matter because it ain't an RPG or something.
@@duffman18 People seem to only remeber the future part in 2 when it's less than 40 minutes of a 1h 47m movie, I find the rest of it to be worst than the whole of 3. To me III is the better sequel, it flows better the whole way through.
my fav of the trilogy despite me knowing that 1 is the better movie.
I'm surprised that people don't like the sequels. Two was great and the third was calm fun and sweet.
Back to the Future is the most consistently fantastic film trilogy ever made change my mind.
Tharries the dark knight trilogy?
Ronaldo Everton true but I vocal minority dislike Dark Knight Rises
Lord of the Rings?
@@directorforplastic7929 Lord of the rings is really good but a the length of the movies gives a "smelling my own farts" vibe. Its like they knew they were making an "important film"
The Back to the Future films are better imo because they don't take themselves so seriously. It's just a fun ride from begining to end.
@@therock238360 theres a huge group that also dislikes back to the future 3.
I don't know if I've ever heard anyone talk about the Back to the Future Telltale game since its inception. I remember some buzz about it early on because they found a kid who can do pretty spot on Marty McFly impression and I think Cinamassacre did an interview with him way back when. That's what got me hyped for the game so I bought each of the chapters as they came out on Steam. It was seriously good, I enjoyed it quite a bit, but again, I've never encountered anyone since who seems to know anything about it. Even when people talk about great Telltale games, the Back to the Future game never comes up. Of course, now Telltale is gone so that sequel the game teases as the end is super never happening now, but it's okay. I haven't revisited it since playing it originally, though, this makes me want to go back and replay it.
Didn't some other company acquire the rights to the telltale games and finished the last Walking Dead one? Perhaps they could develop the BttF sequel, I dunno. All those telltale employees must have gone somewhere to some new company. I know a couple of them went and developed Firewatch
Even the creators of Back to the Future themselves (as well as many other people) have said BTTF: the Game is the closest to a Part IV we'll ever get. It's nice that it features some voice acting cameos from the original movie cast as well. And wow, Dan Castellaneta's Doc Brown voice was pretty spot on! I really miss The Ride at Universal
The TellTale games were so much fun and good imo. They do get... a little too crazy in the plot, but honestly when has this series NOT been absolutely crazy? The ending was a bit too much, but overall I honestly consider the TellTale games canon!
Yeah the ending was crazy🤣
@@gracekim25 That part I don't consider canon, and see it as just a fun "what if" celebration of the franchise. The rest is honestly so well written though.
I’ve been binge watching let’s plays of the Sam and Max trilogy. I’m pretty sure that makes these BttF episodes look tame by comparison.
My big problem with the game initially was that Tom Wilson didn’t come back as Biff. But thankfully they fixed that in the PS4 version
@@brianvaira486 I actually didn't realize that was a thing! So they actually recast him and released his version on the PS4? I've never heard of a game doing that before!
19:40 My mother has always said that she never would've hung out with me in high school
My dad told me he wouldn’t need my help to get with my mom back then.
What I love about part 3 is how it's a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood Western films. They even had many original actors and trainers from that era work on the film.
"The best way to experience Back To The Future: The Game is to hold a strong, yet distant memory of the films..."
LITERALLY my experience playing the game and I enjoyed every second 😂
I spent the entirety of my young childhood thinking Back to the Future 2 was actually the only back to the future and it was great
truly an underrated yet iconic way to view these films
I’m so glad that we got a musical created by the original creators
Gives us a new way to love the series without ruining it ☺️
Yeah!
Like a pitch-perfect reboot, except a musical 😂
This feels like the perfect reboot
It's hard for me to seperate part 2 and 3 from the first. Like they were mostly 3 parts of one movie to me. Always loved them growing up; the first one will for sure be a stand-alone, but I dont think I've ever been able to sit down and watch only the first one haha. Kinda like Indiana Jones (the trilogy) or Lord of the Rings; watching them is more of an event-- although LOTR is more so given the length.
I feel like the Indiana Jones movies are more 3 standalone films than a 3 film story arc. But yeah BttF is an event, for sure, you have to watch all 3, just like watching the Star Wars OT or watching the extended LOTR trilogy (I wonder if anybody watches the regular theatrical cut trilogy of LOTR anymore. I mean the extended versions add so much good stuff to it, it really fleshes out a lot of the story and characters). Or like watching IT. Either the 90s tv mini series with Tim Curry, or the two new IT films. You cannot watch just half of either, you must watch it all, it's required.
Playing Neil Cicierega is a good way to make me watch the advert.
I was hoping somebody would say something about it...and it's perfect because the original song is in Back To The Future.
29:35 Confederate Marty Mcfly is something I never thought I’d see
13:22
And I thought Cartoon Allstars was the most ambitious crossover
I love the telltale BTTF game. It's one of the reason I'm currently obsessed with 1920s-1930s art, aesthetics and architecture and Gangster/Mafia/Prohibition stories. Barring the more gamey aspects of the plot. The most compelling exploration of what a hypothetical 4 film would be like.
It's unfortunate you can't buy it anymore except for used copies that are expensive.
When Biff entered and started talking about taking a joyride, I thought it was a bit with ralphthemoviemaker
when i was 16 i was able to go to universal for the very first time. BTTF is my all time favorite movie and it was what i was most excited to see at the park. i was already regretting being born 4 years before the ride shut down, so you can just imagine how mortified i was when i asked the store lady if they had any BTTF merchandise left and she said no???? my delicate heart nearly stopped beating right then and there
I appreciate Quinton continuing to use songs from the Mouth trilogy in the background, now that I've memorized all three albums
No joke, I'd love to see an in-depth analysis of the IDW comic series from you. Go for it!
I'm starting to think this guy doesn't even like the space battles movies
Crossover of the century: Back to the Future cartoon meets Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon
One of the crazier things about BTTF is how I love it, even though I wasnt born in the era and didnt watch it in theaters. Im already a huge 80s geek, but BTTF is special. The simplicity of the franchise is why I keep going back to it. Like Quinton said, modern films try to capitalize on every aspects of a film and rely on that nostalgia to reel people in. While back to the future did peddle a little bit, it doesnt ruin the live you have for the films. I could go on and on, but in short, the BTTF series are sooo much different in how short yet sweet it is. I agree with Quinton that Star Wars was milked the heck out. Had they left it alon rather than capitalizing, you'd have a much more satisfied audience.
The Back to the Future ride needs to be brought back. We have many new generations that have never experienced it. I’m one of them.
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about Back to the Future the Game! In my opinion one of the most underrated Telltale Games point and click adventure games and the last hurrah for the genre before The Walking Dead lead them to a successful but eventually doomed past of copy paste interactive novels based on IPs
I loved the game, never finished it as far as I can remember. As much as I love Wolf Among Us and TalesFtB, I really miss that more traditional style of adventure game with its strange logic and open ended storytelling.
I think the second movie is one of the greatest in the a sci-fi genre, it shows off how dangerous time travel is and Marty sneaking around Calvin Klein is one of the most creative scenes in its time
Good Video Quiton, it is interesting to see how extended media gives that “sequel” to a lot of our favorite works, yet never goes as appreciated as the movies.
I came here for my DeLorean in a suitcase cartoon and you made me wait almost the entire video for it. I loved this show and it remember to be fun. So the best thing about the universal ride while the story was on screens as you moved further in the line the set decoration & props were really cool to look at.
Technically the back to the future the games and the comics are both canonical at the same time since both take place after 3 but the comics 6 months after the game which itself is a few months immediately on after 3 thanks to time travel bootstrap paradox’s
And the comics are great
The telltale games are great
Bro you forgot the movie where doc turns himself into a pickle, funniest shit I’ve ever seen
Who else caught that the version of “The Power of Love” underneath the Privacy ad was just the line “don’t need no credit card to ride this train” over and over
"GREAT SCOTT"
- Doc Brown
Ok.
Nathaniel Foga dude, how are you EVERYWHERE?
Yes
I remember getting the telltale game on Xbox live gold and I was so confused. It confused me because I believed that they couldn't take the plot anywhere else from how they left it. Then I played the game.
It kind of blew my mind to find out later in life that there are people out there who don't like Back to the Future 3. Nah, man. That's a great film. And while I can understand criticisms of the second film because of how much of the first it retreads, it is also amazing. All three movies offer up quality entertainment.
2:14 don't you just hate it when they forget to turn on the Dino shadows till half way through the shot
That's one of the lights being knocked out, you dunderhead.
Great video, Quinton! It gave me more context for the things I knew about and introduced me to stories I hadn't previously know about in the world of what is probably my favorite film series of all time. And don't you go thinking that the Neil Cicierega song went unnoticed or unappreciated.
There has never been, nor will there never be a Trilogy as perfect as Back to the Future.
orkutfinance Toy Story was, until the fourth one came out lol
Lord of the Rings.
The Before Trilogy
I've always personally liked Part 3 the most, maybe its cause I like Westerns maybe its cause it brought the series some final closure but either way I'd rather watch the 3rd any day.
Same here. Love the third one. Great music
The 3rd one is really underappreciated, everyone seems to love 2 and hate 3, but to me it's the better sequel. Everyone gushes about the future stuff in 2, when it's barely a third of the runtime.
Part 2 is the best shows all 3 in it. really wish they did a 4th and changed the 3rd on it was okay but 1-2 are the best
The back to the future telltale series is probably going to be the closest thing we ever get to a back to the future 4 and i'm content enough with that.
heck they even brought back michael J fox and Christopher Lloyd
Barely related:
I remember The Mask's cartoon being really good, but I remember very little of it and I'm kinda scared to check it out now.
For some reasons I keep thinking Christopher Lloyd is dead... Good to know he's still kicking and a genuinely good person.
Since you never rode BTTF: The Ride at Universal, you can't know how physically painful it was. We rode it once and walked off with a major headache. I agree that rides with practical effects & sets are preferable to the increasing number of screen-based rides, I am very happy that advances in technology provide smoother rides.
There is rides like the spider-man and transformer rides at Universal that use 3d glasses for screens in the ride while still having a set that will shake and explode, so there is ways to do it right, not even to mention the Simpsons ride that IS all screen with 3d glasses, but let's be honest, the Simpsons are gonna keep being a thing for a long time, so it's probably NOT going to be outdated
The entire Back to the Future Trilogy is the most solid Trilogy that is ever existed oh, it is more consistent than Star Wars, than the Matrix, than Mass Effect, than the Arkham franchise
For a Trilogy that wasn't even supposed to exist, it's pretty consistent with its logic and its characters and their motivations oh, also it has a satisfying ending
and then he turned himself into a pickle
Still the funniest thing I have ever seen.
Quinton: “it’s nice to see that no one has tried to tarnish back to the future”
Ernest Cline: “That’s where you’re wrong kiddo”
Back to the Future 3 is my absolute favorite. I love westerns
Your best work yet Quinton, gonna be rewatching this video for a long time yet, I can tell!
I remember being being like 3 years old and my parents thought it’d do me good to let me go on basically every ride at universal. I cried on basically every one of them, especially the Back to the Future, though ET somehow bear that one out for which ones made me cry. I thought all the rides were cool up till they strapped us into a seat, then I just did not jive with it. The Barney show was cool though, I remember that really making the trip worth it.
I recently saw one first preview performances for the new BTTF musical. The shoe has some pacing problems but it’s pretty solid with some stunning effects work bringing the time travel to life on stage. Worth seeing if you get the chance.
I think, not that anyone cares, nor asked, but I like to consider Back to the Future the Game, to be parts 4, 5, and 6. 4 being the first time they go back to the 30s, 5 being like in part 2 where they go home, only to find it to be altered and they have to go back, and part 6 being Marty stranded and having to go futher back in time before going home. If that makes any sense
Oh my god I loved that Back to the Future ride so much. The Jaws one, too, but there's no comparison lol
So Doc is just roaming around Springfield with no money after Krusty buys him out. Does that make you cry too?
I dont know why the idea of Einstein (the dog) driving the Dolorian is so funny to me paired with "The dog drives the FUCKING car" but I was laughing for at least 10 minutes after hearing him say that
I knew there was a cartoon but I didn't know about all this other stuff.
I actually really like the older movie rides. I wish they kept them. They were classic movies, it doesn't matter if they're old. People loved riding them. The effects were stellar.
I wish they re-built the king kong ride. Jaws is also a classic ride...
You know now that we have all this vr technology I feel like we can archive all those awesome rides and all the footage that existed by making them virtual. copy the environments and recreate them, use all the footage and while it won't be the same it will be the closest to really archiving all these experiences properly.
I really love that the ride kept the product placement in the 2015 part.
I loved the animated series as a kid though the scheduling was always random and it was hard to catch on TV. I'm glad it's so readily available today.
Quinton this video really made me wonder what you think of other cartoons from the 80s and 90s in a similar vein to Back To The Future animated. How do you feel about the animated Beetlejuice show? I’d love to see a video where you discuss animated shows based on preexisting live action movies, or even just about kids animated programming from that era in general. Love your videos dude!!
That back to the future game is so good I had so much playing 😭😭and figuring out what to do
I love how this franchise portrays the dumb jock high school bully as a maniacal supervillain
May be off-topic, but: I don't think it's fair to say that Ghostbusters 2 didn't tap into the continuity of the animated series. They totally redesigned Annie Potts´s look so that she resembled the animated counterpart, and they brought back Slimer, who was a big player in the series but only a throwaway gag in the first film.
27:30 .... so i guess they never miss, huh
I like to think that the BTTF Telltale Game, the animated series and the Universal Studios ride are canon, with the ending of the game helping set up the animated series (Doc says Clara and he have a place in Hill Valley as a part time residence), and due to Doc continuing his research eventually leading to the creation of the Institute of Future Technology.
I love how cartoony and almost squishy the DeLorean looks in the animated series.
I was lucky enough to ride BTTF: The Ride before it shut down. You could tell it was one of the oldest attractions with the film being scratchy and the carts you rode in pretty beat up. That said it was everything it needed to be and probably my favorite experience at the park. When it comes to Universal the one in Florida actually had decent rides while the one in California was all "We make movies here!" Yes, show me more boring static props and sets from movies… oh, wait, they actually had some of Hill Valley on the backlot. We drove past that on the tour bus. Some of it was damaged in a fire later. At the time film buffs were upset about plans to get rid of the Phantom of the Opera set, I believe.
BTTF: The Game is similar to Ghostbusters: The Video Game in that it's the closest you're going to get to a true sequel, it's interactive, and if you accept it in the format it's a fun time. The puzzles and occasional bugs got annoying but what Telltale did best was story and that comes through with each episode. Also, hats off to A.J. Locascio for doing the best Marty McFly impression to where it takes a Michael J. Fox cameo for you to really notice any difference.
I understand why the animated series might be a hard sit for some people but as somebody who grew up with it that, the Real Ghostbusters, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, it gave you the Saturday morning experience you wanted as a kid.
Christopher Lloyd loves the Doc Brown character, both because he's fun to play and fans have such a positive reaction to it. This list from the 30th anniversary has a few appearances you might've missed - www.digitalspy.com/movies/a671090/great-scott-11-times-christopher-lloyd-played-doc-brown-outside-of-the-back-to-the-future-movies/
There's also a musical now - ruclips.net/video/jzr0NXfUiPs/видео.html
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.
!!! My parents played tapes of the animated series for me so much as a kid and I can honestly say a large part of why I’m working on a chemistry PhD today is because of those Doc Brown clips in each episode (along with all the movies and the game of course)
I was totally bracing myself for you roasting the cartoon but was so excited to see it getting recognized for the glorious, wacky nostalgic mess it is :’) The 12 year old me begging her mom to take her picture as she weeps in front of the Time Train at Universal Studios respects you so much lol
Also!! if you haven’t yet, you should check out the BTTF card game! It’s just a rebranded version of Chrononauts but there’s some little added fun lore on the Hill Valley legacy families
I went to Universal Studios once as a kid in the 90s. I remember being bored or disappointed by most of the rides (especially Jaws), but BTTF and Terminator 2: 3D were lots of fun, with BTTF edging out T2 as the best ride in the park; the absolute highlight of the day, though, was definitely getting slimed at Nickelodeon Studios, which remains one of the crowning achievements of my life
Great video! I'm so happy someone is finally giving praise to the game l. I know that this isn't a continuation nor a reboot but I was wondering if you've heard of Back to the Future: The Musical that's currently playing (or would be, were it not for covid) in Manchester? If so, what are your thoughts on it?
I know that you said this video didn't do well, on your second channel recently, but I love this video and convinced me to watch the movies
You unlocked a very specific memory in my brain. I rode this ride as a kid. I have a lot of trouble remembering most of my childhood so thanks for unlocking this memory for me!
Man, I watched the cartoon waaaaay back when and never could've imagined that Doc's assistant was going to so famous.
I've had the opportunity to chat to Christopher Lloyd and Claudia Wells at cons. While Lloyds chat was very brief (''Hi, love your work in Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Bye." "Thank you very much.") I got to have a good chat with Claudia and it was nice to relate the story of how I once saw Back to the Future many years ago in primary school, but didn't know which movie it was, only remembering the shot of Michael J. Fox seeing himself go back into the future at the end of the movie and then how I learned that I had seen one of the most iconic movies of all time.
it quite sad that the back to the furture ride no longer exists. i only went to florida once, but it was in 1999. So the ride was still there and it was absolutely awesome. Yea the story was a bit cheesy but you got to feel like you were flying around and travelling through time in a delorian. It was great.
I got Back to the Future the Game on Xbox when it was free with Xbox Gold, not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised and got really invested in the story, and it surpassed my expectations a lot. I definitely recommend playing it, or at least finding a let's play or something if you're a fan of BTTF.
Also, what I liked about the Telltale game -- whether they had the intention or not -- was the ending scene, where they basically tease a sequel that might have gone a slightly different path: exploring how all that time-traveling might case problems on a larger scale. Yes, we have this diagram from the second movie where Doc explains how Biff went back and created a new future, basically telling us that all those timelines exist in parallel -- but, the game ending scene could be seen as a suggestion that maybe it's not that strict.
Either way, with that in mind -- while I loved the idea of the movies and the game to be all set in Hill Valley only and giving us different versions of the same place and characters, there is the point where this just becomes a bit stale. Having a 2nd game (which never happened) move slightly (or not so slightly; no idea what they would have done) into a different direction where time travel doesn't just cause a problem, but actually turns out to be THE problem might have been interesting.
This made me realize that Doc and Biff never talked to each other in the movies
all i remember about the back to the future tv show was marty rubbing a toad on his foot to get rid of athletes foot
Got to visit Universal Studios in '95 on a 7th grade school trip. Jaws was rad, Earthquake rocked, but BTTF was leaps and bounds for these studio rides. Our class was in FL for the Kennedy Space Center and Sea World (it was considered educational at the time), but we shifted enough candy bars to get slimed at Nickelodeon Studios!
I saw the creator, I read the title. I clicked like.
Imagine this movie is real to a parallel universe, it would be so amazing.
I used to love the cartoon when I was a kid, I don't think I even watched the movies before watching it so I didn't know anything about the characters but I still loved it, as a sequel I think it's really good. The other one that got me interested was the videogame, I remember being able to play it on the Wii but I didn't do so because I thought it was just the first movie in videogame form.
15:50 a Robotech reference in the common era of 2020?! Now that's a blast from the past
I super appreciate the background inclusion of Niel Cicierega's No Credit Card
When I was a kid we drove to california from Canada. We went to Disney, US, Sea world, Vegas, Arizona, all over... The highlight of the trip was the BTTF ride. It was my favorite part out of all that.
11:56 appreciate your objectivity here when writing about the ride.
Finally a Back to the Future video
I'd really recommend B to the F. It's a page-by-page (often line-by-line) review of the novelization of the original Back to the Future. To say the book is badly written is... an understatement. The review is very funny, and makes a great casual read. It's available as an ebook, but you can also read the whole thing for free here:

Thank you for acknowledging these as the best trilogy
