We decided not to make anything of this idea because this is one of those difficult time travel concepts that general audiences have a real hard time understanding. It is just as believable that the physicality of the neighborhood did NOT change as it is to believe that it did - so we didn't change it. Thus, by the time Marty and Doc are carrying Jennifer back to the DeLorean, there COULD be other residents in that townhouse - or perhaps the McFlys still live there. For this reason, we made sure that Doc had caught Jennifer and exited the McFly Townhouse before Old Biff returned. This would happen AFTER Old Biff returned with the DeLorean. But if that's true, how did Old Biff manage to get back to the same future that he left? Shouldn't he have come back to a different future?Ī: As should be clear from the answer to the previous question, we believe Old Biff DID indeed return to a different future - a "2015-A," which would have transformed around Marty, Doc, Jennifer and Einstein (just as Doc explains how 1985-A would change into 1985 and instantly transform around Jennifer and Einstein). ![]() BTTF writers Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis wrote up an official BTTF FAQ where they talked about the related question of why old Biff returned to the same 2015 that Marty, Doc, and Jennifer were in, and they mentioned that 2015 transformed into 2015-A around M&D&J in the same way that 1985-A transformed back to regular 1985 around Jennifer on the porch:ġ.9: When Doc and Marty are in 1955-A, Doc says they can't return to the future to stop Biff from stealing the DeLorean, because it would be the wrong future. The single changing timeline seems to be the one the writers imagined, and they also imagined that when time traveler A is in one era and time traveler B in earlier era changes history, the world will transform around time traveler A via the ripple effect. I know this whole topic is very confusing and hard to straighten out, but my final question is which theory seems to fit best, or is there another one to better address Jen's fate? It is my opinion that if this is the movie's preferred time-theory, she should be going about her life as everyone else is after the timeline changes. However, Marty and Doc were never in the "regular" timeline to put her on that porch in the first place. Single, changing timeline- Jennifer is left on the porch in BsP, but when the past is changed, her and everything in that timeline are changed back to the "normal" timeline. ![]() If Jen was pulled from L1 to the future and set into L2, when Marty and Doc go back to change the past and return to 1985 it is the L1 1985 where Jen should not be in. ![]() If you can imagine two lines where line 1 is the "regular" timeline and line 2 is BsP timeline. Multiverse- Jennifer is left on the porch in the BsP timeline and when Marty and Doc leave to change the past in order to return back to their "normal" timeline, she is left in the BsP timeline and should NOT be in the "normal" timeline, as she was taken OUT of it along with them WITHOUT being brought back to the "normal" timeline by the DeLorean. Considering if the movie uses either the distinct multiverse theory, or one in which there is a single timeline which can be and does alter to accommodate changes within itself, there must be two possibilities: My confusion is this: She was left in the timeline while it changed from Biff's Paradise(BsP) to the "regular" timeline. BTTF 3 ends with Marty coming back to 1985 and arriving at Jennifer's porch where she is still in the same place, waiting to be awoken. Of course, as that timeline is now changed to Biff's Paradise, that is not her house presumably.Īt this point the remaining story of BTTF 2-3 progresses. In BTTF 2 after Marty and Doc come back from the future (to 1985) where Biff has already gone to 1955 and changed 1985, they stop off at what they think is Jennifer's house and leave her on the porch swing at night.
