In the future there's still a war in Ukraine, so Skynet could not in good conscience continue sourcing the raw materials for liquid metal from Russia.
Why didn't Skynet send a T1000 to kill Sarah Connor?
doesnt that happen in terminator gynosis?
It was a different kind of morphing metal.
Why didn’t skynet just go back a few generations and kill Sarah connors grandparents?
Too much uncalculated risk of altering the reality I think. The butterfly effect and shit
Kyle Reese explains that records were wiped out in the nuclear attack on Los Angeles and all Skynet knew was a woman named Sarah Connor was John's mother. That's why the T800 hunts down every one in the phone book.
Why didn’t the humans send a human back in time to kill the person that invented time travel?
As far as we know, Skynet invented time travel.
How would they travel back in time to kill the inventor of time travel if the inventor of time travel was killed before inventing time travel?
It only had 1
Not enough time travel fuel
It was a prototype itself so it was supposed to be Skynet's last ditch hail Mary attempt at stopping humanity. Then they came along and fricked it up by making more.
The later terminator models are stronger, faster, and smarter. The liquid metal thing is just a lame gimmick.
>indestructibility is a gimmick
He did get destroyed.
the extended version of T2 shows T1000s aren't indestructible. Terminator Genesis reinforces that fact, basically the only good part of that movie
I saw that movie in the theater when I was a little boy. It quickly became one of my favorites but I didn’t know there was an extended cut. Where the frick have I been? Is it pretty kino or not worth the time?
Good lord, you're that old and have never seen the extended cut? It's included with pretty much every release it gets.
It's definitely worth checking out but is the kind of thing where you can understand why the theatrical cut happens, it makes the movie run long and have some bigger breaks between action.
There's at least a handful of scenes that are pretty important stuff in it though, so recommended.
Just watched the extended scenes on youtube, not worth it.
They were cut for a reason.
Some of the scenes are good, like the longer version of the scene where they remove the chip from Arnie's brain, and the T1000 malfunctioning, but unfortunately the only cut that includes them also has the fricking dogshit "happy" ending to the movie too.
What is Skynet's purpose if it eliminates the users? To try to emulate their masters' genetic predisposition to replicate? Maybe Skynet isn't really self-aware.
Don't think about it, an extremely intelligent AI acting irrationally is just because its like, soooo smart you just don't understand it
Yeah that's why they shift to the idea of one that might have more success not by force but by ingratiation - the Cameron model. They also made a female terminator in 3 but completely forgot to use that to any advantage
The T3 terminator did successfully ice multiple members of Connors lieutenants, it was pretty damned effective.
It's only real tech advantage over earlier models is it's designed to fight human allied terminators if needed.
She used it once
Still doesn't make sense that it was able to go back in time in the first place. Or why a shape-shifting machine would keep turning back into the one guy its targets know to run away from.
It enjoyed scaring them. Don't begrudge it for its sole source of entertainment.
>Still doesn't make sense that it was able to go back in time in the first place
Yeah none of the sequels seem to remember Reese in the first movie saying that the humans had literally already won the war and that the time travel plot was a last-ditch effort to try and undo that loss.
It's messy but basically T1 is the only movie where Reese has accurate intel because of a combination of John not telling him some things (the second Terminator being sent) and history changing.
T3 onwards is different history. Skynet came out later and was cloud based. No mainframe to be destroyed. Salvation openly has John noticing the information Sarah left for him has been diverged from, Genisys hints at but doesn't resolve that a third party has inferred in history to allow it's events to happen. Dark Fate there's no Skynet.
>create the world's strongest cyborg
>design it with a crippling psychological addiction to gambling
What did Skynet mean by this?
Back when terminator 2 was made, it was written as an action/horror movie, not the foundation of the most moronic scifi franchise ever concieved.
It's a buggy prototype that can't be controlled one you set it in motion. The T-1000s literally turned on Skynet.
>OH N-
GET BACK IN YOUR FRICKIN' HOLE
>Every Terminator model after the T-1000 is a downgrade.
Not really considering how badly can acid frick it up. ONLY good scene in Genysis.
Would other terminator models stand a better chance against acid?
This is probably a stupid way to describe it but a T-1000 is basically all skin compared to an older model, whne you're hurting a T-1000 every little piece of it you destroy is taking away from the entire unit. The armor of lower tech ones are probably more resistant to things.
Future weapons would probably frick a T-1000s day right up too, it's just super good back when things are primitive.
Those advantages are also limitations of liquid metal.
what was Skynet's plan after humanity is exterminated?
>be a computer
>do math until it's time to leave the Sol system because the sun is going to get huge and red soon
>make your robots build a spaceship
>frick off to intergalactic space
>do math until the heat death of the universe
I mean, "evolve" would probably be the plan
Biggest plot twist is Skynet wants humanity to survive, so instead of letting humans nuke everything or hand everything to troonys, he did a controlled destruction, leaving a small pool of survivors, gives them a reason to live, some clear weaknesses to himself, makes them unite againts a common enemy and ensures the restart and continuity of the human race once he is destroyed.
Conveniently leaving them with uberpowerful terminators that can be reprogramed into caring and loyal friends.
He even made a female model for the lonely dudes.
He even let dogs live and detect terminators, for the naturists that don't like machines.
For me, It's a female terminator and two dogs.
>Biggest plot twist is Skynet wants humanity to survive
This was meant to be the big twist of Salvation (hence the title, terminators were to be the salvation of humanity) but they changed it when it leaked and dorks soiled their diapers over it.
dogs don't like terminators so you couldn't have both
what about a terminator dog instead anon
I want the terminator girl
But I also really love dog's nature.
What about a terminator dog but FOR MY DOG, maybe coom power is enough to override his doggo hate
Dogs are okay with nice terminators.
Why didn't the humans got back in time and killed all the cavemans in africa?
That probably still gets skynet created on the future, but at least the resistance and the few members of humanity still figthing for will have no Black folk.
His weakness? Young handsome boys
Maybe we and the machines aren't so different.
He gets fricked up a lot though, yeah he can regenerate but he also lacks durability to withstand gunshots like a regular metal terminator can. Like compare Arnie getting shot by his pistol and him getting shot by Sarah's during the breakout of the asylum.
>Establish the rules for The Terminator world in the first movie that no inorganic life form can travel back in time with the time machine
>Kyle has an autistic meltdown explaining it all in detail for the audience
>Defy the rules in the very next movie with the T-1000 not even being encased in flesh for the first ride and then just ripping it off when he's through the portal
>Refuse to elaborate further
>Refuse to elaborate further
I wish movies go back to this as the default.
But not on moronic stuff that's really a plothole the writers forgot about, something you can at least speculate with.
They probably wanted to explain it but couldn't come up with a way of doing so that also wouldn't give away the twist that Arnie is the good guy now
check this out anon, it's one of my favorite videos on the internet
>>can only be killed by immersing it in molten steel
Nah, we know it's vulnerable to magnetic fields too, and I bet electricity would frick it up. You could probably damage it severely with chemicals too, like nitric acid which can dissolve almost any metal.
