the very first michael had a psychotic break and killed all his friends. he probably saw the 2nd group and figured he'd warn them but the 2nd michael did the same thing, only this time the second layla was able to warn the 3rd group because the 2nd set already figured out the loop.

As with these overlapping timeloop movies, there is no "first time". We see Michael kill and drag the bodies to that room, which apparently happens prior to them finding that room on their own.

It just ends up being a garbled mess that turns people off!

It could certainly be handled in other ways. The exact same sort of overlapping timeloop scenario is used in "Los Cronocrímenes" ("Timecrimes") and "Triangle". You may or may not find them as garbled.

Well one version had a blank wall before Michael writes on it. Since the movie shows the writing in the begging, clearly the movie does not start at the beginning, suggesting that there was a first time, or at least a logical ordering. Same with the broken bridge, etc.

What I don't get in situations where a character does something they had seen done previously, is why they make it happen exactly the same way. I mean if it were I and I wanted to write on the wall for some reason, I would go out of my way to write something else unless it was important to me to duplicate the pattern for some reason.

Well, there's a "first time" from Michael's perspective (with writing on the wall), and a "first time" from the day's perspective (when the wall is blank).

What I mean in saying there's no "first time" is that this is not a loop where the characters get to experience the day over and over and make new choices each time they loop through it. It's a single loop, that only happens once. The characters appear to repeat the same things over and over again, but it's just the same events viewed from different perspectives. There is no "first time" because it's really the "only time".

Neither but since this isn't the first time, the wall would not be blank for him to write on. We see his message and then it's gone so he writes it again? Yeah this was a garbled mess.

I always saw it as they're in Limbo and have ALWAYS been there (or at least for a very long time) it goes around and around and around. It never started and never ended (the snake eating its tail)

Yes or Michael has had a psychotic break and is imagining everything! He's without his meds and in a manic, paranoid episode ( paranoid because he thinks everyone is out to get him) so to justify killing his friends he makes up this entire loop thing in his head.

The time "loop" isn't exactly a loop with a first time. It's time folding in on itself. In some places many timelines are pushed together (like at the end with 2 Michaels at the campfire plus the Michael at the cabin), and in some places time is stretched to be the first time (like the bridge suddenly having all of it's planks or the wall of the cell suddenly being a clean slate). It fluctuates throughout the movie, but the catalyst is the aurora borealis which seems to be the point at which things start converging. It means that even the first time everything happened, they were still getting time folds with future events including the bodies in the cave. It kept changing throughout the film.
