Things About Back to the Future That Show It Makes No Sense

Time travel movies, as Avengers: Endgame pointed out, have inherent contradictions.

But if he prevented one parent from being born, he couldn’t have been born himself and couldn’t have gone back in time.

Back to the Future has the same issue. After arriving in 1955, Marty prevents his parents from getting together, leading to his gradual evaporation from existence. But if he had completely evaporated, he couldn’t have been alive in 1985 and gotten back in time to break them up.
