Romantic time loops

Loopers idea of time travel wasn't exactly accurate but none the less it was a good movie. The issue though lies with how it went about constructing timelines intertwining and how they would affect each other. "Old" Joe travels to the past to stop the Rain Man from happening, from the start it is folly. He might change the future but he would never know for certain that he would ever end up with his love again, or even know if she lives the way he wanted her to live. However Looper excludes all the facts with a characters laziness of explanation. Thus it creates what I call a "Romantic Time Loop". This is a common notion towards time travel that we all have. We discover a way to travel back in time, change the future and live happily forever. This is seen in a lot of movies besides Looper such as Superman: The Movie (1979), or even Back To The Future 2 where Biff goes to his past to make himself rich. They all have the idea that there will be no significant changes by going back and messing up the order of things. Where as in truth, the whole world would fricking go to chaos, a.k.a. "The Butterfly Effect". No not actual butterflies causing tornados, but one " initial condition" that changes the entire system over time rather than one little part. It may start out with a minute amount of change but given some time everything could be different.

The "Romantic Time Loop" is filled with empty gaps leaving out plenty of the science behind actual time travel. Really the whole idea of time travel is built upon man's constant laziness, the sin of sloth if you will. Instead of fixing the problems in the present, we would choose to spend all our time to go back and tweak the past to our liking.
