Marty McFly Chicken Complex




You know how Marty McFly can’t stand being called chicken (or “yella” either)?  Think about how pathetic that is.  I mean the guy won’t back down if someone calls him chicken…ever.  He’s gotta be a little fucked in the head for something as petty as that to always get the best of him.  And the thing is that Marty never would have learned to let that kinda shit go if he didn’t embark on a totally fucking insane time travel adventure.  And the proof is in Part II.  When we see him all grown up in the future with a family Needles (great name by the way) calls him chicken and Marty gives in causing him to lose his job.  Of course I’m glad that Marty does finally learn to deal with his emotions in this particular area at the end of Part III when he forfeits his gunfight against Buford Tannen and then later again when Needles challenges him to a drag race.  But it’s funny that they didn’t resolve this issue towards the end of the first film, especially when they didn’t know sequels were going to be made.
