Back to the Future Part II

Correction: Doc's clearly done a lot of research into Marty's family, knowing what happens to them, who his kids are, etc. Knowing where he lives would be part of that.

Correction: He'd been there once before taking Marty to the future. When hearing about Marty McFly. Jr, he could have done a background search on him, including age, phone number, and address.

Correction: Marty tells Doc twice to look him up when he gets to the future. Marty would have purposely left himself very locatable in the White Pages or whatever public directory was available in 2015, so he could reunite with Doc. Off camera, Doc goes to the future, finds Marty quite easily, and instantly comes back to 1985 to fetch Marty. 1985 Marty does not know where 2015 Marty lives, but Doc does.

Already corrected 11 years ago. Also, he definitely didn't instantly go fetch Marty in 1985, as he first upgraded the time machine.

Questions

Question: Doc Brown strongly believes that nobody should ever find out about their own future. With such a strong conviction, why would Doc tell Marty that his children going to prison is the one event that would ruin the whole McFly family?

Answer: At the end of the first film, Doc says, "what the hell" in response to the letter Marty gave him. So this shows it is not that strong a conviction, especially in the face of definite knowledge about something bad happening. It is also a way for Doc to repay Marty.

MasterOfAll

Answer: Doc advises Marty to not tell him about his future because it may affect his life. It doesn't matter what happens to his kids at all.
