motivation throughout Meet the Robinsons

number eight Senator Aaron McComb
Timecop parent
career although we wish we could have
seen max Walker made himself properly
our pick goes to the villainous senator
McComb
why were you I want to cash that check
the slimy politician uses time travel to
fund not only his bid for the presidency
but also to eliminate anyone who opposes
him McComb meets himself on several
occasions the first time to kill their
former partner in a software company
that made it big after buying him out
computer market was saturated the
software stocks run the toilet and if
cold where revolutionizes the industry
they next meet when the younger version
is tricked into going to Walker’s house
at the film’s climax which allows the
Timecop to defeat him by getting the two
McCombs to touch causing a grisly
paradox you can be a service if you lay
off the candy bars number 7 bill S
Preston Esquire and Ted Theodore Logan
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
hey hard to believe but these two want
to be rocker slackers are destined for
greatness even Bill and Ted find this
notion pretty far-fetched when a time
traveler named Rufus tells them so
outside a circle K I’m here to help you
with your history report
what however it’s the arrival of their
future selves who are slap-bang in the
middle of their own time-traveling
adventure with historical figures that
convinces the most triumphant duo to
begin their journey in the first place
well that and their future counterparts
ability to guess a certain number 69
dude this moment is unusual in that we
see it from both versions perspectives
as it’s returning to this event that
gets future Bill and Ted back on track
flatulent number 6
Russell Morley Russ Duritz the kid quit
grow to be lewd in this Disney film an
image consultant named Russ finds
himself mysteriously confronted with his
childhood self rusty Perry
this is hilarious
unlike most of the entries on our list
resin Rusty’s interactions form the bulk
of the film’s plot with each assisting
the other with their troubles rust
comforts rusty over their mother’s death
and their fathers inability to cope and
Rusty’s presence reminds Russ of his
childhood dreams
[Music]
a third elderly version is even seen
before the film’s end effectively
showing how the experience will change
rust for the better in the future
especially nice scene you
number five dr. David Bowman 2001 a
Space Odyssey David Bowman is the last
surviving astronaut on a mission to
investigate an unusual monoliths
transmission to Jupiter
when he arrived near the gas giant
however another mysterious object draws
Dave into the vortex in the film’s
famous and surreal final sequence Dave
views progressively older versions of
himself and then becomes them in an
elegant room that appears to have been
provided for him whether the elder
Dave’s are aware that their younger self
see them is open to interpretation
however there’s nothing ambiguous about
this scenes place in popular culture
number 4 Charles Xavier
Professor X x-men Days of Future past
with a title and premise like Days of
Future past there’s plenty of
interaction between time periods
primarily through the conduit of logan
also known as wolverine the ageless
fighter has trouble convincing the
younger versions of his friends to help
particularly Professor X who’s lost much
of his drive and optimism
however by looking into Logan’s mind
Charles speaks to himself in the future
sometimes the elder Charles tells his
younger self not to lose hope and not to
fear the pain he sees in other people’s
minds or his own it’s yours Charles
setting him back on the path to become a
mentor for mutants Charles we need you
number three
Spock Star Trek I am NOT our Father
turns out Spock plays a big part in the
creation of the new Star Trek universe
literally it’s the actions of the
original Spock or Spock times that
motivate the Romulan villain Nero to
alter history in turn creating the new
timeline established in the 2009 Star
Trek film as you persuade him to keep
your secret the two Spock’s meet near
the end of the film in a short scene
that’s at once pivotal and also a sort
of passing of the torch moment an active
face what I hope that you’ll repeat in
the future is Starfleet the elder Spock
encourages his younger self to embrace
his human side and a career in Starfleet
which are both things that changed his
own life for the better good luck
number two fifth henan back to the
future part two a lot of my car will
move the second Back to the Future film
features many characters running into
themselves but we chose the moment when
the McFly family nemesis meets himself
because it’s pivotal to the plot
arriving in 1955 from 2015 the elder
Biff has with him a sports Almanac that
will allow his teenage self to get rich
by betting on the outcomes of various
games the bifs play off each other
hilariously with young Biff exasperated
by the geezer forcing his views on him
and old Biff frustrated by the teenage
bully’s stupidity just get in the car
Butthead
or you call it boss what head since bits
eventual wealth allows him to turn hill
valley into a nightmarish hell Marty

plot the information in here is worth
millions

unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions you save the world
will I go get the goo
sure awesome from 10 minutes from now
hey my name is Kay what’s your name
James it’s a nice name
number one Joe looper Bruce Willis has
met himself a lot in movies happening in
this film he portrays old Joe the
version of the titular looper from the
future while Joseph gordon-levitt plays
the present-day young Joe although young
Joe is meant to kill his older self in
order to close the loop old Joe is
determined to change the past and save
his wife by killing the child that will
one day be responsible for her death
she’s going to happen to you how to you
it doesn’t have to happen to me it’s
kind of confusing to explain to be
honest but the interaction between the
Joe’s definitely drives the narrative
making loop or a film that embodies the
point of our list more than any other
just take your little gun out in between
your legs and do it boy do you agree
