Everyone seems to say that time travel stories are too complex and just give them headaches...But that isn't the case with me?? I follow almost all with no issue and the ones I don't understand are just so stupid or badly done that what I don't understand is how someone could mess up so badly, not the sequence of events itself. I think what gives people headaches though is the non-liner story, it isn't a simple beginning-middle-end story since time travel usually involves a loop of some sort, meaning there isn't a beginning middle or end...but if you put the pieces of what happens together in your head and treat it like a loop, it really isn't that hard??? They all just kind of fall into place unless the story is done really badly. So I mean I can see how there might be a headache there but only if you refuse to think about it for more than a few seconds...Saying that it gives you a headache just reinforces the fact that it gives you a headache.
tldr: If you just think about the story a little bit time travel usually makes sense and shouldn't give you a headache but apparently it does.
Sorry about the rant. I just don't really get why people don't get it. -
I think because either the time travel doesn’t matter because “ oh well we already went and changed the past,” but then it said like you wouldn’t have went back in the first place, and you’ve created a (?) paradox. Or it’s like some really jacked up stuff
This video explains it really well -
i don't find them hard to follow either

I mean paradoxes are a bit weird, but they do make sense...well, as much so as such a thing can considering that the definition of a paradox is something that doesn't make sense but is true. The "You've already changed the past" kind aren't that hard to understand and can be done well (It is easy to make them pointless or boring but they can be done well) and the loose rules kind, well, you can't really understand those haha

I Understand Time Travel Almost Perfectly, I Would Argue.

Yeah I'm not trying to say it's hard for everyone to follow, just for more people than would make sense
