One hill I will die on is that it's always infinitely funnier for mad scientist characters to have an actual area of expertise, and the narrower it is, the funnier it gets. Like, they're mad scientists. They can branch out from it. But it's a very special thing to be able to point to the person who built a death ray/engineered life in their basement/etc and be able to confidently state what they got their PhD in.

"Doc Brown is a mad scientist" Well yeah, obviously.

"Doc Brown is a mad physicist" Now we're getting somewhere!

"Doc Brown is a mad nuclear physicist" Specifically conjures up images of a guy who spent his PhD doing a million repetitive cyclotron tests and eventually said fuck this, I'm building a time machine instead. Comedy gold.

shwump

Doc and his Silly Nuclear Juice 🧪🎸🐶

Had to draw the trio together, I love them.

if this has been done before i dont care i just needed this

Platinum Bracket: Round 1, Poll 12

Propaganda from submitters Under Cut

Additional Lyle Lanley propaganda:

The number of times I have said to myself, "What would Marty McFly do?" Has started to become concerning

i'm thinking once again about famous rockstar time travel meme Marty McFly

Marty McFly (well known musician) and Doc Brown (blogger & youtube-based science educator) get into a months-long twitter beef over time travel memes and everyone watching assumes that they don't interact outside of periodically subtweeting each other about time travel bcos they are 2 wildly different flavours and levels of celebrity so why in the world would anyone think they know each other

anyway then in an extremely rare event they get photographed out and about together and when someone asks Marty about it he's like 'oh yeah we've been best friends for twenty years' and his entire following is like you WHAT???

*incredulously doing maths* "so you've been friends since you were... thirteen??"

"yeah what's not clicking here"

someone asks how they met and Marty responds, completely honestly, "it actually varies depending on the timeline' and now no-one is sure what the truth is

was just looking at screencaps doing further garage research and found this very important image of Doc for u guys

HAPPY 38TH ANNIVERSARY BACK TO THE FUTURE July 3, 1985

Everything is better with squiggly lines.

hear me out. Dark & Back to the Future represent exactly opposite ends of the Time Travel Media Spectrum.

@full-time-dumb-lesbian I think Butterfly Effect (2004) for the top right

another meme i won’t finish: [1-3/10] movies

marty! best boy!

doctor emmett 'is there something wrong with the earth's gravitational pull' brown

i'd like to note that while the films are intentionally vague about how old Doc Brown is for comedic purposes various bits of extra-curricular material have given him a concrete age and according to one source he was thirty-three in the '55 sections of the film

behold... a 33 year old man.
