They tried to make sure the audience didn't get all caught up in the time travel paradoxes by dismissing it between the two Joes. When they 1st sit down at the diner to talk old joe says he isn't there to answer time travel bullshite questions.

I guess that was the director trying to make sure you didn't get hung up on the wrong parts of the story.

Exactly. The intention is for the audience to completely avoid discussing any time travel/looping issues and just take the movie for what it is. The biggest problem with this is that the movie is entirely based around time travel and thus you cant discuss the movie without discussing the inherent flaws with the time travel plot. This is a "loop" in itself I'm not sure it's possible to create a movie about time travel that makes sense bc time travel really doesn't make sense.


I liked the movie, it was very entertaining and I thought the kid did a great job.
