Oops, Someone is Wrong on the Internet!

Recently I (Agent 19), saw that Metafilter’s Fanfare talked about the movie https://fanfare.metafilter.com/21784/About-Time — like most fanfare posts it was not impressive, some people liked it, a few people had misgivings of a moral nature — for example one commenter says “but I did have an issue with the fact that the main character effectively practices sex several times “on” his girlfriend while she thinks they’ve only had it once.” which of course if that were unethical then use of time travel would be unethical and the film would be a different kind of film — which I admit might be really interesting, Tim doesn’t want to use Time Travel because of the ethical implications but keeps getting put into situations in which he must use it.

This would be the story of a superhero living a miserable anonymous existence (never using his power for his own happiness), but continually having to time travel to save someone’s life. I suppose he would spend most of this time going back in time and sending warning letters to people to keep them from being killed — “Dear Mr. Khashoggi” and so forth.
