Marty McFly's parents

I never understood this. Even after all these years, there is an element that stands out as weird to me.

The way Marty talks to his mother about fuckin. How at the end of the first one she's all like "isnt this the special weekend?" About him and Jennifer going up to the lake.

Then on part 2 she's asking if he and Jennifer still get along. He's like "yeah. Like a couple a teenagers :D "

That is fucking weird. I don't think most people are going to be talking that what to their mother.

People like me who fucking hate their mothers don't go and say anything. The majority who seem to have at least a serviceable relationship probably don't talk this way either.

I just never got that. And goddammit every time I watch part 3 I just wish it could have been a different time period than a cartoon version of the old West. Still a good movie but dammit if that setting wasn't already overdone as hell by 1990.
