To clarify, do you mean it wouldn't make sense that his body part would dissapear as they were severed in an alternative past. Or do you mean it doesn't belong on the plot/add to the story?
Not Op, but...
Spoiler for the torture scene in Looper
At the start of that scene, they're inflicting harm that would still allow the dude to do everything he's done so far, just scarred. And the scars are appearing on his future self. It makes a kind of weird sense, if we stretch our imagination.
But they cross well past anything reasonable into injuries that would have just made anyone's past self decide to retire and hide out in the woods in Florida.
It made no sense at all by the end, that his future self was somehow still working for them.
The first. Those injuries were done decades ago, and yet they are just appearing now to the surprise of the character.
If that's how the time travel "works" in this universe somehow, then Bruce Willis disappearing at the end contradicts this.
