Someone recently asked me about the nature of the relationship between Marty and Doc Brown in the "Back to the Future" universe. Damned if I know.

@lauren That was something I always wondered about. If I was in Marty's place I would have wanted to hang out with Doc, but that's because I was a huge nerd and loved hanging out with older techy types. Marty never seemed like a nerd.

@lauren maybe Marty is Doc's greatgreatgreatgrandfather!I just assumed that Doc knew from the 1955 timeline that he would befriend Marty, and maybe learned a bit how to do that. (Don't think about the time paradoxes!)

@lauren We're all so poorly socialized (particularly siloed by age through school cohorts and career progress) these days it's easy to forget that having friends of different ages has been totally normal historically. Most likely Marty sought out Doc because it was known in the neighborhood he had that monster sound system from the beginning of the first movie, and they hit it off.
