1) In BTTF1 Marty comes back to the same house that he lived in when his parents were poor nerds. If his parents had become rich, successful, cool people, wouldn't they live in a better part of town?

Marty's parents weren't poor. They were middle class.
Becoming rich doesn't necessarily mean becoming a millionaire.
Also, when Marty gets back to 1985 his father has become a writer -- but I think he's just published his first novel. He couldn't have gotten rich from writing yet.

OK, I'll give you the first part. They aren't rich just yet, but they are clearly more well to do than at the beginning of the story.

2) Same scene. Even though the parents are now cool & successful, they still have only one car!?
|
How do you know that they only have one car. There could be others that we didn't see.
|
They talk about it. Marty mentions that Biff wrecked "the" car. Everybody rushes to the door to see if that's the case. You can hear in the jumble of worried conversation that they all refer to "the" car.

3) Same scene. The now cool, successful older brother & sister still live at the parents house!?

They were still young. OK, Marty's brother probably would be living in a house of his own by then. Nonetheless, he clearly had a more successful career.

My point exactly. He tells Marty that he "...always wears a suit to the office." This is said in a very condecending tone, like Marty is stupid for not remembering that fact, since they live in the same house. This gets back to car issue. By the time I wore a suit to the office, I had my own appartment & car why is it that big bro doesn't?
It's all nit picking in a fictional world. It just bugs me when I see the show. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
