Sometimes I forget that there are casual Back to the Future fans. People who just watch it to have a fun time and who don’t care about or notice the depth the films have. Like. I forget that Tumblr BTTF fans are a whole different breed.
I occasionally find BTTF posts on other social medias (mainly reddit) that leave me scratching my head. Saw a comment where someone made note of Marty being “just some kid Doc probably hired that week to be his cameraman at the mall.” Another one where a person answered a question with something along the lines of, “Doc likely only knows Marty because he needed someone to test out the giant amp.”
Just. So many people confused as to why Doc and Marty seem to care so much about each other when they’ve probably only known each other a short while, and isn’t Marty just some random assistant??
There are really people watching these movies who think there is no history between Doc and Marty. They think they’re practically strangers in the Twin Pines Mall scene and only grow to be friends over the week in 1955. There are people who look at the lengths Marty goes to to save Doc and ask, “But why does he care so much about some crazy old scientist??”
THEY THINK THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR OF A KID WHO WAS JUST HIRED TO BE A CAMERAMAN DAYS PRIOR.
