This series will examine baffling decisions and characters from popular films.

Doctor Emmett Brown is a dangerous idiot on a cosmic scale, and the entire plot of Back to the Future 2 makes no sense.

At the end of Back to the Future, Doc Brown rushes up to Marty and Jennifer yelling they have to RUSH to the future. An exasperated Marty whines that he just got back, and wonders why they have to go at the moment. Doc Brown explains that their kids turn into assholes, and they need to fix it. Marty’s exasperation seems warranted, but it’s for all the wrong reasons.
