"..., BioShock Infinite makes way more sense than how the movie Looper did it."

In that one, it incorporates both the split timeline where multiple ones are created upon divergences, but it also does the thing with: "If something happens to a past version of someone, it also affects the future version." Like if my future version is in the same timeline as I am, and I lose my thunmb, then the future version's thumb also disappears.

And it also tries to do something with the origin of the main antagonist, where by traveling back in time actually helped create the villain they were trying to stop from happening.

But if you try and break that movie down, it doesn't make any sense (less so than BioShock Infinite).

It's essentially this: The future version of the protagonist is traveling back in time to kill a future crime lord in order to stop the death of his wife and million other people. But how it's revelead how the crime lord came to be, it doesn't make sense. The crime lord couldn't have existed in the future version's timeline, and the timeline that the crime lord is created in, the younger version wouldn't have been able to grow up in order to travel back in time to fix it.

I'm trying to leave it as short as possible. If you watch the movie, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
