On this I completely agree. Much has been written and said by fanboys trying to make the movie's plot make sense, but it ultimately does not. The writers and directors completely disagree about the film's "rules" for time travel, and every explanation any of them tries to give completely contradicts the others, to the point where there really is NO point in trying to explain it beyond saying, "It's just a silly movie and it's all just for fun, just roll with it and try not to think."

In and of itself, that's fine, kinda. I hate movies like that, but I'm also often accused of thinking too much. But if something wants to be complete nonsense and people are in turn entertained by complete nonsense, that's entirely their prerogative. I simply find it silly when people go out of their way to try and reconcile the irreconcilable because it makes them feel smarter, or like the thing they like is so much more intelligent and important than it really is.

"Endgame" is one example, Fred Wolf TMNT is another. Some things are simply "Entertaining Nonsense" and that's that. No need for logical gymnastics to try and explain things that really weren't designed to be put under such scrutiny in the first place. Just have fun with it or don't. Simple.
