Most time travel movies don’t sweat the math — or, more accurately, the physics and/or quantum physics of how time travel might actually work. The writers and directors include the time travel concepts that will help their story and ignore the ones that won’t.

Biopunk is a genre that we desperately need more of. Like cyberpunk ’s interest in dystopia and characters who live life on the margins of society, biopunk is all about the effects of technology on the body, and the repercussions it might have on society.

The multiverse used to feel limitless. There was seemingly infinite magic waiting to be mined from the far-out concept of infinite branching, parallel realities that could be used by storytellers to reinvent beloved narratives , give aging heroes one last curtain call after years away, or simply push visual effects into exciting new territory . The multiverse felt boundless — up until Hollywood abused it so heavily that infinite possibilities somehow became predictable. source https://www.polygon.com/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-leaving-netflix/
