Disappointment as Back to the Future cast hold reunion in alternate, nightmarish, dystopian timeline

The Back to the Future cast held a virtual reunion in which they re-enacted scenes from the film and told anecdotes.

However, there was criticism that they chose to hold the reunion in the alternate, nightmarish dystopian timeline explored in Back to the Future II.

“It was brilliant, really good to see them again. Really fun, you know?” Said fan Kelly Grace, who exists in the alternate timeline.

“I just don’t get why they chose to do the reunion in this timeline.

“I mean, it’s awful. There’s disease, corruption, pollution, unhappiness. It’s the worst timeline they could have picked.

“It would have made more sense to do it in the one where everything was all nice and Marty and Jennifer get married and have a happy ending and everything.”

Ms Grace went on to explain how it could have worked.

“I mean, I’m no theoretical physicist,” she said, somewhat modestly.

“But presumably, the different timelines all contain, roughly, the same people, as each one must begin from the same base timeline that then splits into a separate timeline due to some external event like Marty travelling through time.

“So, I must exist in that other timeline. I’m sure that other timeline’s me it would have found it just as much fun, but in an altogether more pleasant setting.

“Perhaps it might have even encouraged authorities to finally get round to closing off this timeline because, let’s be honest, it’s really rubbish.”

The Back to the Future cast has since apologised for holding the reunion in the alternate, dystopian timeline, but they’d accidentally found themselves stranded there after visiting to see if it had got any better and been trapped by coronavirus quarantine rules.
