Except, in the case of Back to the Future, it was done in a deliberate, 
tongue-in-cheek manner.  "History repeats itself", and so forth.

Another parody?  In a movie that's a parody of, 
everybody-knows-it's-a-parody,-that's-how-it-was-marketed, the superhero

And that's why your original research gets rejected: it's a user-fed wiki 
being used as an encyclopedia, so when users feed it things that shouldn't 
be in an encyclopedia, it gets deleted. See how that works?
