So, Jodie Foster's first feature film was produced in 1971 for 1972 release, and so it was a battleground of time travelers who either wanted to impress Jodie Foster or stop people from impressing Jodie Foster which splintered the timeline and we ended up in a bad one.

Edit: neither side are the good guys, mind you. The good guys with a time machine are creating timelines where Lenin gets a Gundam, not trying to impress/not impress a teenager
