One thing we saw in the film is if you were the traveler, you were not affected by changes in the time stream. So older VD did not get those bullet wounds. Nor does he remember the last several years he has now spent with his no longer dead wife.
The question is, what happened to the VD that was there for the last several years before he returned? -

The guy with the "bouncing off" is right. Touching something is not the same as occupying the same space. Touching means that you're close enough to something for it to have force on you. Nothing can occupy the same space with something else.

It's not that it's the same atomic matter but that it's the 'same' object in the timeline. If a future McComb goes back in time and kills his past self he ceases to exist but if he touches him the timeline can't cope with the future-matter directly affecting the past-matter it is directly affected by. Future-McComb's face is scarred directly by past-McComb's face getting injured, it's like that but looped infinitely.
But that's just me. -

Hang on Matt you had better tell that to the people that made Looper..
If future McComb kills his past self he vanishes. But wouldn't that also work the other way around? Killing your future self would somehow be a paradox too wouldn't it?
Your post reminded me of the movie Looper. -

It wouldn't be a paradox because killing the older version doesn't change the younger's history in such a way as to change the younger's future. If a 25 year-old kills a 60 year-old version of himself, only his life from 60 onward is changed, not his life from 25 to 60. But, the older killing the younger is a paradox because if a 60 year-old kills himself as a 25 year-old, then the history of the 60 year-old is changed. He's now dead at 25 and therefore never lived until 60. This would have the effect of removing the older version from existance as of his 25 year-old death, whereas he originally lived until at least 60 years-old. Then we get into the Grandfather paradox, but that's for another posting

It's not just skin cells Your entire body gets regenerated eventually, new cells replacing every old cell. Even if it was the same cells, you'd pretty much have to step into your 'old' body to actually be occupying the 'same' space
" I would even go as far as to say that this film is
