Love time travel stories?

Here's a unique one for you - Future In Doubt.

What if a time traveler came back in time warning of a future apocalypse, but no one believed him, and then he died? Except for one fresh college grad named Essie...

@BostonGal34 I never had until a few years ago. Went to a movie party and they were watching the 3rd one. I wanted to go to the party, so I had to watch it. It was pretty good, and surprisingly I didn't need the first two to follow it.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@jpmovies24 I agree with you. T2 is great, and in many ways better, but the story is less original than the first, and the T1000 is a bit too far-fetched, and it mirrors the first in too many ways.

Btw, I also love your quote in your bio from Collateral. Awesome movie.

@namenotassigned @buttface_9000 It's not a 'lore' debate. It's a question about one movie. You guys have turned everything into a 'lore' thing just to make yourselves sound smart. Bottom line is, this scene was just lazy writing at the time. And that's fine. It works in the movie, and I still like it.

The asteroid monster in Empire Strikes Back is an absurd plot point. Way out in space. On an asteroid. How does it survive? No water. No food. And no air - the hole is open.

Speaking of which - Han, Leia and Chewbacca go outside there and no vacuum of space.

Give me your best Star Wars nitpicks. No reasonable criticisms or analysis, I'm talking real pedantic here.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@Thefurrylobo @SandyofCthulhu My favorite answer so far.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@x3firearms Decent answers that I've heard before.
And to be clear, I love the movie and this scene doesn't bother me. Just having fun with the OP.

But most of these explanations are people trying to get around what was very likely originally just poorly thought-out writing.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@buttface_9000 @namenotassigned I don't consider the comics canon anyway. And I don't care who says they do count. For me, it's the original 6 movies plus Rogue One and that's it.

And I'm allowed to see it that way and still be a fan.
Darth Maul is dead. He got cut in half.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@pimpulord Well, the OP wanted pedantic. I gave it to him.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@dovantegelo That's right. It's a bridge too far.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@genuinezebratom @mzr3456 Uh...yeah. Not sure your point. It's a pretty well-established org.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@Marc_Topaz @Kithre1 No, no, that can't be it.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@95_cosmic A valid question..

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@giles_will3785 I prefer my asteroid monsters purple. Then I'd be fine with it.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@JizzOmelette Now it all makes sense..

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@Texaspaleo @jonathan4206979 😂😂

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@Gibb127 I'm glad it did. I love that interview clip.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@jonathan4206979 So...are you missing the snark here? UNSERIOUS, pedantic nitpicks. This all just for fun.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@mzr3456 I've read at least five such books. Written 10 scripts. Advanced in two contests. And written a novel with a 5-star review from Reader's Favorite.

What's your problem? And what have you written?

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

So here we have a case study in the problem with social media.

I get this 'viral' post. 86k views. 600 likes.

And I now have FEWER followers than before I wrote it.

Social media sucks.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

@namenotassigned So, I don't read comics at all. So no I can't.

[DMagill - 5-star author sci-fi post-apoc @dmagillwrite]

So.... this is how writing works, especially on X. You have to be succinct. My explanation to you was a whole post. If I write all that out in the original, the post is too long, not to mention boring. There's fun nitpicking, which I did, and then there's the nitpicking you're doing to me.
