1918. help the germans win the war, so the nazis never happen.
share🤔
Wouldn't you just go to 1914 and prevent ww1 from starting?!
thats also a solution, although i assume if you prevent even ww1, worse things are about to happen.
shareYou could also go back to his year of birth and kill him before his way of thinking spreads. Are you scared of killing baby Hitler?
shareI don't think that Hitler was the only one with his way of thinking, so you take the chance of something worse happening. Maybe at a later date? Is it worth the risk? I mean that's the issues with changing the past. You can always make things worse.
share1967 to see The Doors, Mort Sahl, and others at their peak.
share1969. No reason. LOL.
shareI’d go back to 1984 if I could be the same age I was back then.
shareChances are you'd be on a one way trip.
The farther you go back in time, the more the "ripple effect" takes hold, and your existence would be threatened.
The simple act of delaying a person for a couple of seconds 100 years ago can have long term effect in ways we can't know.
Just think of all the things that had to go right in time for your very existence, compounding every day with every little choice a person makes...and it's not just your existence, but the unborn others in this reality.
Prevent 9/11, Kill Hitler... millions of lives will be created and destroyed in the new reality.
People should see the flux capacitor as a threat to their own timeline.
But the movie is so good🙂.
Doc and Marty were not on a one way trip. I'm in good hands.
sharei dont agree with the idea that you just disappear when you change the past. youre outside the time logic once you start traveling.
shareI'm guessing you haven't seen the movie in awhile.
When Marty was playing the song Earth 👼 on stage, it almost happened to him.
If we are going by the logic of the first film, any trip to the past dangerous to your existence, and can effect the existence of others.
i know, but i dont agree. the movie gets it wrong
share🙂
Here is the scene.

why would you have that picture if nobody is on it?
shareEvery one always says "Kill Hitler" to be some great SJW. BUT!! What if instead of Hitler you get someone more capable? What if something similar still happened but this time successfully?
To stop 9/11 you could go all the way back to the first Crusades and stop it from happening. Keep Europe out it and let the Middle East sort out their own crap. But then, would that make the Islamic Empire even more powerful as they most certainly would have won even easier without the Europeans interfering.
And of course everyone assumes they would be brave enough to actually achieve these great alterations. Would you really try and be the little voice in the ear of some King or leader "Sire, I am from the future, if you go ahead with this plan it will spell disaster" only to end up beheaded?
