So, what is with all the media coming out featuring time travel?

FYI- the TTP: if time travel to the past is possible, then any effects of events changed in the past are already being felt, so it is impossible to distinguish a reason to travel except for cases that can only be resolved in the present.

Lets look at just a few.

Mortal Kombat VITA- haven't played it yet, but I have determined that MK doesn't need this at all.

Warriors Orochi 3- this game completely ignores the Time Travel Paradox, and basically the story is bull. I still bought it though. Yeah, I'm stupid.

3rd Birthday: also ignores the Paradox, but explains it away so it's cool.

ff xii-2: someone else explain this one, I haven't played it.

A crack in time: great game, story makes sense without using TTP.

Anyways, my question is, does anyone have a theory as to the sudden influx of time travel games and movies, is it due to series being stretched to their limits or what?

Also, willing to discuss Timetravel Via PM.

All talk involving TTP requires watching the scene in BTTF 2 when Doc Brown explains multiple time lines.

Yeah, but then again, Doc can kind of be a jerk sometimes.
