The paradox of time travel

I think if this movie doesn't involve parallel universes, there are really a lot of logical loopholes, take a look.

First of all, the outline of the story is like this. The big villain was interrupted by K 40 years ago and sent to prison. After 40 years, he escaped from prison and traveled back to the past to kill K, which caused everyone except J to forget K 40 years later.

The problem is, K was killed 40 years ago, the villain was not put in prison, and there is no reason to travel 40 years later. The purpose of the protagonist's travel is not only to save K, but the bigger reason is that the villain invaded the earth. , why did you invade the earth after 40 years, obviously after killing K, the earth has no defense system, it could have invaded 40 years ago, and the big villain has to kill K in the past and come back, this logic will do No way.

Because the film gives me the feeling of a single universe, the villain killed K 40 years ago, so his hand is not broken, so it can be concluded that changing the past can affect the future.

Then the problem comes again. In the final battle, J made a few moves and then traveled back with the villain a few minutes ago, predicting that the boss made a move. It was obvious that the two had traveled together together, why only J has memory, and the injuries on his body are understandable Because he dodged the attack a few minutes ago, so he didn't get hit, and if there was no parallel space, the loopholes were really countless.

After watching the movie, you can know that K knew from the beginning that he would die, and then J went back to save him, excluding that he used a memory eraser, then from the perspective of future K, did he kill the villain? , I really can't think about it, or say, the future that J returns to is no longer his original future.

The alien who can see the future said that a little mistake will lead to different trends in the future. Does that mean that there are multiple futures in the same time period? Forget it, it is really difficult to justify it. Like the big talk about Journey to the West, take all travel as an inevitable result, and only after travel can there be a later story. The screenwriter may have graduated from elementary school, and the logic doesn’t work at all. It's really hard to watch it through time travel. I've even scored four stars, but three stars are barely enough.

    Being able to master the shuttle in the time dimension is a good ability, as well as foreseeing the future.

  • Agent O: Somehow history has been rewritten. There has to be a reason this is happening, and K seems to be in the center of it.

  • Jeffrey Price: This is the real deal. Time-jump gear. Very rare, very old. But first, we gotta get high.
