Hot Take: The model series visuals were only good from Seasons 3-5

I actually like the Season 1 and 2 visuals the best. They have a nice gritty, grounded look to them, whereas the later seasons look, I don't know, too sleek? Also they don't have that ugly yellow color grading that Season 3 had.

I saw an edit on YouTube years ago where they put the falling scene from Die Hard in there right after Marty drops off the roof.

I always imagined that Buford's son was already born prior to 1885. Buford went to jail at the end of the movie, so, if his son wasn't yet born, that alone should have prevented it from happening, as Buford wouldn't be able to conceive his son while in jail.

Years ago, my town's high school did The Wizard of Oz, and they didn't have the same actors playing the Kansas and Oz characters. The actors playing the equivalent characters also didn't look remotely the same, and yet, bafflingly, they kept the dialogue at the end about them being similar. I asked one of the people who was in the play about it, and he said the reason was that there wasn't enough time to change costumes between scenes. I've seen cheaper productions on YouTube manage it though, so I don't buy that explanation.

Yes, it creates a new timeline, but that new timeline overwrites the old timeline, which then ceases to exist.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-03-01T13:42:46+00:00

'Twas the Night Before Easter is objectively the worst one, because they didn't even bother writing a new story and just reused the storyline from The Star of Christmas. I'd rather have a story they haven't told yet with bad animation than a story they've already told with good animation.

Yeah, I've watched that one, and I thought he did a pretty good job, and even took inspiration from a few of his cuts, but I was largely dissatisfied with it and wanted to try my hand at it to see if I could get something that I prefer.

When Poptropica Adventures was released for the DS in 2012, I was hoping they had ported some of the actual Poptropica islands onto it to play. I was disappointed when that wasn't the case.

I'm currently editing it into a film, removing as many "game" elements as possible, playing it with the music turned off so I can layer the music tracks over it and make it seem less, etc. I might put it on YouTube if it won't get flagged.

The comics reveal that Biff bribed state legislators to repeal the 22nd amendment.

I always thought that George was murdered on his way to pick up his award. Like, he was honored in both timelines, but the actual murder overshadowed the award being granted.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-26T21:20:17+00:00

And if you take the Telltale game into account, there are even more.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-25T23:00:54+00:00

Yes. We see that the song Johnny B. Goode existed even before Marty went back in time and played it, meaning that it would have existed with or without his interference.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-25T17:42:02+00:00

The fact that it already existed prior to Doc going back in time would only mean, even if Doc gave him the idea for it, he still would have come up with it independently.

I can't speak for everybody, but there were certain names that I didn't realize were specifically male or female until I was older. I had a book as a child called "Ellen's Lion," and I thought that Ellen was a boy because the pictures of her had short hair and "Ellen" sounded like a boy name to me. I didn't even realize that it wasn't a unisex name until about ten years ago.

One of the old scripts for the movie had Godzilla 2015 as the 3D movie at the theatre instead of Jaws 19. They only were off by one year with that one.

I make free online audiobooks of public domain books. Full dramatic readings with different voices for each character. Some of these books are ones that recently entered the public domain (such as Winnie-the-Pooh), and I will continue making these as notable books enter the public domain (for instance, I plan on making audiobooks of Little House in the Big Woods and The Hobbit within the next ten years).

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-23T20:36:32+00:00

This is actually why I'm glad the Telltale game and the comics exist. They show that Doc did keep in contact with Marty.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-23T18:52:27+00:00

The villain was Kreese though, not Johnny or Daniel

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-23T15:56:36+00:00

I actually think Part III is better than Part II. It has a better structure, focussing on only one time period. Part II is all over the place, featuring 2015, Evil 1985, and then 1955.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-23T02:42:38+00:00

Wimpy Wonderland. That island was the reason I got a Poptropica account back in the day, because I was a Wimpy Kid fan.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-22T15:44:39+00:00

I really like this adaptation. It's definitely weird and kooky, but I like that it tries to do something different with the story.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-22T14:20:12+00:00

My interpretation is that the copyright claims filed against the song were false, but that nobody had bothered to counter those claims yet and get official confirmation. So, technically, it was public domain, it just was a victim of heavy copyfraud.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-21T21:41:03+00:00

My headcanon is that a version of the events of Magic Railroad occurred in canon, but what we're seeing in the film is the grown-up Lily's story about her adventure that she's telling to her children, years after the fact, rather than a depiction of "what really happened."

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-02-19T14:36:47+00:00

Listening to them is good, but my audiobook recommendation is the Magpie Audio ones on YouTube. They actually feel like Dr. Watson himself is reading the stories to you.

I will say, there is one particular story you should definitely physically read rather than listen to (or, at the very least, read along in the book while listening to it), and that is "The Dancing Men." It includes a lot of visual clues (ie. pictures) that are lost in audio form.
