“Not H.G. Wells Approved”
for those of you who don’t know H.G. Wells was an author who wrote “The Time Machine”. it was about a man who builds a time machine. his girlfriend gets killed on a date so he goes back in time to stop her from getting killed. she ends up dieing no matter how many times he goes back. then he travels into the future, shit happens, his time machine ends up getting destroyed.
No
Nonononono wrong
I’m sorry to nitpick and I must sound like a total jerk but that is not the plot of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine.
The romantic motivation is entirely a device of the (bad) modern adaptation of the film. In the novella (and the first movie adaptation), the protagonist’s motivation is nothing more than scientific curiosity, rather than a throng of time travel clichés like in the newest film.
This has been a lit nerd public service announcement *ollies out*
