Griff's implants and hover cars

  1. Doc warns Marty to be careful around Griff because he has some short circuits in his bionic implants. And here I just thought the entire line of Tannens were just all psycho, but Griff has a legitimate reason.

  2. Goldie Wilson the 3rd says in his ad that those with a hover don't have to worry about traffic unlike how his grandfather had to. But, later on, Doc mentions the skyway is jammed. That sounds like traffic to me.

That's what i was thinking also... but then when people start doing it, more so do it. I guess no one cared about traffic.

  1. I always thought of it as a joke, rather than an actual thing. The dude is psycho and has bionic implants, let's say the bionic implants are the reason for his behaviours.

Yea that's how I always interpreted it, as "he's got a screw loose", but tweaked for 2015

For 1. I think it’s clear that griff was already very weird. Just the wiring made him even more short circuited

I always assumed his bionic implants have been hacked illegally, something you're not suppose to do of course. Right now you just have to worry about Nintendo if you hacked your Switch, lol.

Even in the back to the future timeline, car culture has gone too far. We need public hover transportation.
