I rewatched the series again and I have questions


At the end of Part 2, Marty gets a note from the past from doc in the 1800s; so didn't Doc die over that period of time considering he was stuck there and til the present Marty was in, hasn't he been 6 feet under for hundred's of years? Didn't he experience death?


Also, when Marty and the girl (forgot her name) were in the future hiding in future Marty's house, wouldn't future Marty remembered and purposely avoided the chance of his younger self - no sneakiness needed in that case!


In the first one, his parents met Marty before he was born, he helped them significantly to make them kiss. When Marty returned to present day, shouldn't they have remembered seeing Marty years ago?

Plotholes? Great Scott!

Whilst Doc died in the Wild West, Doc was still alive in 1955 to help Marty because Doc's death was still in his future.

Also, when Marty and the girl (forgot her name) were in the future hiding in future Marty's house, wouldn't future Marty remembered and purposely avoided the chance of his younger self - no sneakiness needed in that case!

Good point. I didn't think of that.

If you can read this, you are as lucky as I am.

Possibly. But by the end of the third one, when Marty refuses to race Needles, those future events no longer come to pass. In fact, those future events are only
based on Marty not going to the future at all.

As soon as they arrive in 2015, the events of that movie have become an alternate timeline that's obsolete based on their presence.

In the first one, his parents met Marty before he was born, he helped them significantly to make them kiss. When Marty returned to present day, shouldn't they have remembered seeing Marty years ago?

The events of the first movie take place over a single week in 1955. They have no photos of Marty, he didn't attend classes at their high school.

They also raised him from a baby, so their familiarity of Marty's appearance is based on that. At what point are try going to say, "Hey Wait, our adolescent son is starting to look like a guy we knew for a week, almost thirty years ago!"

While he had an influence, it's only plausible that they'd remember him if they understood his impact and could see the variables the way Marty can.
