Finally! Looper getting the recognition it so deserves. Such a good movie.

[LiamCatterson]

Missing the Doctor from the list. Heck, he does it more than once. So it should be here.

[Mr_Creasy_]

That moment from *Men In Black 3* was special 😭

[philipandrews]

Why is Christmas Carol on here? He never "meets" his younger self, he is merely shown visions of them and is never physically present but only in spirit (hence they can't see him).

And are you guys not including animated movies? Since the entire plot around the first Futurama movie revolved around Fry being jealous of Lars, only to find out that it was an older version of himself (granted an alternate time duplicate, but the same can be said in Looper)

I'm so glad the included Meet the Robinsons on here :) it's tragically underrated

[DJVaughan]

I wish movie was in the title, that way I wouldn't be so mad that The Doctor didn't get 1st place.

[FrostyMac]

I’ve always loved the “person meeting themselves from another time” trope

[AhsimNreiziev]

This should be renamed to _Top 10 _*_Movie_*_ Characters Who Meet Their Older Self_, as that's what it is. By the way, I'm also taking this opportunity to vote for a _Top 10 TV Characters Who Meet Their Older Selves_ list in the near future. I can think of _The Flash_'s Barry Allen and The Doctor right off the top of my head.

That scene in X-Men was so good. Very emotional. The acting in both of them is just perfect.

[PhillMC]

Predestination. The whole film revolves around the same character influencing his previous selves.

[davethewave]

XD half of the comments are of Whoviens that are complaining where doctor who is...



now really where the f**k is doctor who ??!!

[Chee.Yng]

For Lewis, its a time loop. The older Lewis (Cornelius) already experienced seeing his younger self before and time traveled back with his son to see his mom but he doesnt. Instead, he uses his memory invention instead to find his mom. But his mom was that peanut butter couple. Right now, this lewis grows up to be the world famous inventor and meets his younger self all over again. TIME LOOP

[JaDangerz]

Stewie griffin met his older self in Stewie Griffin the untold story

[Sir.-J.B.ZER]

The film Predestination should have 100% been on this list

[dubduboverlord]

Dude when Charles talked to Charles in DoFP it’s so beautiful.

[CodyFairlessLee]

I like MEET THE ROBINSONS and I love A CHRISTMAS CAROL and the honorable mention of MEN IN BLACK 3!

[DNulrammah]

Honorable mention - Batman - Justice League Unlimited - "The Once and Future Thing - Part Two : Time Warped". Batman (and some of the other Justice League members) travel to the future (Set approximately in the time of "Batman Beyond"), where, he meets an elderly version of himself. Note: Seeing the younger Batman play "good cop" to his older self's "bad cop" was interesting.

[osiancoleman]

Is this just in movies cuz if u count tv doctor who met his younger and older selfs

[Verrill]

Barkeep/John - Predestination
The Doctor - Doctor Who
Will Robinson - Lost In Space
Hiro - Heroes
Kyle Reese - Terminator Genesys
Michael Newmarket - Click
There's probably many more!!
