OK, my last comment on this, promise (and, again, I loved the film) because the tone of this is weirdly aggressive and I cba.
I like pretty frequently seem to find myself defending the value of blockbusters on here, and in particular Marvel films, against the tedious hottakes and indie cinema snobs. And I don’t think stuff like this helps with that.
Buuuuut the film pretty clearly sets out rules for time travel and then ignores them, and I don’t like that kind of inconsistency. It’s the kind of stuff I hate about Marvel comic book events and what I’ve been grateful the films have stayed away from. I’m not asking for Primer, but it IS possible to do this kind of stuff interesting and well, and this skirted it but didn’t end up there, and I think it’s a shame because - again - I loved everything else about it.
Now I’m off back in time to avoid saying anything about this in the first place.
