People seem to be unaware of the book sequels to Terminator 2 where Sarah & her son relocate to South America & meet the man that some of the T-800s appearance was based on.
The reason why SKYNET didn't use the T-1000 in the battlefield is simple. There was only 1 ever made and it was sent to 1995. It was a advanced prototype that even SKYNET barely understood and feared it would turn on it. It is in the original screenplay for T2. There is nothing after T2.
Skynet was so much more terrifying when it was never shown and had no set form. Simply knowing a godlike, sentient AI is out there....that in itself was enough. Cameron knew what he ws doing, and now it is practically reality.
The Terminator 2 arcade cabinet was "released" on Halloween 1991, less than 4 months after T2 hit theaters. In the early stages of the game you had to fight and destroy Skynet, then you had to travel back in time and protect the Conners. So we got a good look at Skynet then. The design featured doesn't really make a lot of practical sense, but by 1991 game design standards it's frickin dope.
I 💯% agree with that. Less is always more. It's like the fight scene that blocks almost all hits and only a few lands. Make me imagine some things. I need a tease geez
As a Terminator fan, I say with this respect. The Terminator story should have ended with T2. T2 had the perfect ending. But Hollywood couldn't leave it alone. The night Kyle Reese died, Sarah Connor became the mad woman/femme fatale and mother we knew.
@@themondoshow T3 was the first Terminator movie I watched at the cinema and I later met Kristanna Loken (The TX) and almost a year ago, I met Summer Glau from the Terminator TV series.
@@themondoshow Kristanna Loken was nice. She signed her autograph for me. She liked what I said about her movie Bloodrayne. 4 years after meeting her, I bought T3 on DVD.
@@themondoshow I've considered the possibility that Rise of the Machines. Salvation and Genisys are alternate timelines created as a result of Miles Dyson blowing up Cyberdyne and the T101's sacrifice. I actually love Genisys. I am also a fan of the Terminator TV series.
Thanks for the video, the reason skynet doesn't employ more t-1000s is because the one we saw was more than likely the only one made, skynet didn't trust the 1000 entirely so it waited till the last second to send it
@marcusgilmore5211 SKYNET barely understood how it worked and it was so advanced that they feared it's AI would turn on SKYNET like SKYNET turned on humanity. It was a last resort for SKYNET
T3 didn't flop. Salvation more underperformed than outright flopped. The other two flopped. The series suffered from the writers strike that messed up its momentum from the get go.
I thought the time loop solves itself. Isn't it the case that the Resistance beats the machines in the future and Conner has to send back his Dad Kyle to ensure this will happen again. With the machines being completely on the ropes they make one last stand being sending the T800 after him? It's a fixed loop....right? These sequels muddy the lines
But then they blow up Cyberdyne. So IF something similar starts to happen later on (maybe some floppy's did survive), things are different (they used that in T3, but sadly it was a bad sequel).
John Connor can´t go back in time to kill Skynet because that would mean it owns vanishment from existance since he was only born thanks to the machines intervention and at the same time Skynet only was created because of Connor intervention, they existance is basically simbiotic
That's not how time works it would create a parallel. You can't change a future that's already happened. Sarah created a parallel universe when she got Dyson killed in T2.
Was it? (could be, I don't know all the stories). But I always though it was simply because it was one prototype unit, and Skynet was defeated, so no more.
Listen, everybody, Terminator 2 was the start of the branching time. Line everything else after that was just branches in the timeline, just it's easier. But I do like the fact that Skynet was in the works of Marcus for all those years as the first infiltration unit. And that's how they got the idea for the t800 model 101 and John Conner got Marcus's heart at the end of that movie and explains how powerful it is and that's how John Conner was able to survive the procedure with the nanotech. Remember they did say no other test subject survived.
I always thought that the T-1000 works better as an infiltration or spy unit or even just been sent to the past rather than a soldier, the liquid metal is too sensitive to high or low temperatures and the resistance has many plasma riffles to take them down
These would have made for good material for the movies they made years ago instead of the crap we been getting. Realistic and grounded with no politics.
I think there would be computers on a chip, and since the whole motherboard can fit on a chip, there can be many in other areas like automatic doors or construction machines. With all the laws about computers they had know 30 years ago, they could predict that the 90s modern machines could be more reliable and could still program advance things if those machines had their own libraries and processors to run the code.
@@FoxUnitNell TBH I just finished fixing a 486 from 1993 which wouldn't power on (Compaq Presario) and man that thing took a beating - it was clearly outside for some of its life, and I dismantled it rather ham fistedly and put back the power control PCB on in such a way that it shorted to ground immediately after you put the top cover case on - I eventually found and corrected the issue. Didn't even blow a fuse, just soft-powered down. After removing the motherboard as many times as an old NES game, resoldering the edge connector tips, smacking the case together (it was bent proably from being dropped), griding off the rust from the bottom rail and replacing the motherboard tray rather hastily, this thing 100% works. Try that with something modern and you'd have broken it 20 steps ago. The thing is, in the comic, they'd have to use (by then 30-40 year old tech) because they'd be unable to manufacture more. I just like to see old tech being used well past its prime :D
@@the_kombinator indeed though they get a lot of tech before the 90s because of reverse engineering the Terminator arm and in the sequel, an Atari lynx is modified to hack an ATM, so from the films' timeline, they would've miniaturize those PCs and replace bulkier solutions to automation.
Why not more T-1k's? Didn't the T-800 in T2 say that the 1k was a prototype? Like there's one, and it is experimental. We even see it's a bit 'glitchy' at times. Especially at the end after it freezes and reforms.
Its a shame what happened to the Terminator franchise. the third film should have been solely been the future war leading up to Kyle Reece being sent back & if they where decent writers perhaps the T2 Arnie also being sent back. Perhaps in act 1 Kyle gets sent back & this ends in such a way that the resistance thinks they failed so they regroup & send T2 arnie back. The End. Perfect trilogy where its joined at the beginning & end.
Me too. I hate T3. Most embarrassing and inconsistent sequel of the franchise which was only topped by Genisys. Excuse me….“Genishit” which managed to be worse.
I love Cameron's idea. Following the events of T2, Skynet would send back more advanced killing machines like the Rev 9. Unlike the black goo, the endoskeleton would have a skin of beautiful liquid metal... like the TX. But unlike the TX, this killing machine would separate from its liquid metal skeleton to fight its opponents while at the same time, make sure Skynet came to be. One would be a typical T-800 endoskeleton, fighting our heroes. The other would take the form of a scientist or scientist, making Skynet from its own liquid metal.
Nice ideas, but any existence of Skynet after T2 would render Uncle Bob's sacrifice at best useless and leaning more toward an incompetent failure of his mission to protect John.
I once pitched an idea that after Cyberdynes cpu and terminator hand were destroyed,they pivoted and transplanted human brains into terminator bodies to provide computing power. This works fine,and they are rolled out across the land. Except by having human brains,they are susceptible to trioxin ,which causes zombiism. Only the last chip based terminator can fight his way through an army of flesh eating undead terminators to lead John and Sarah to safety! James Cameron never answered my calls though...
My favorite Terminator Dark Horse series was Terminator: Hunters and Killers. I still feel to this day that it inspired some of the plotlines in Terminator Salvation with the idea of having a stealth unit Terminator who thinks its a real human.
Ask yourself this question: If the T1000 was successful in terminating John Connor and destroying the T101...what would it do next? It couldn't go back to the future, so what would it have done to the people of Earth in the 1990's?
Interesting tidbit: the date August 29th was chosen for a reason. On August 29th 1949, the USSR detonated their first atomic bomb, which was a direct copy of our fatman bomb.
I like how nuclear twilight when sarah and john goto enriques just to find out hes dead that was a cut scene from terminator 2 there was going to be a scene where Enrique gets killed by the T-1000 but was left on the cutting room floor good to see it got used in comic book form
I love terminator salvation, it explores all the things you said were interesting at the beginning. The small details such as all the music being 90’s music since it’s prior to judgement day is just so cool. People that think it should have ended at T2 don’t really realize that T2 messes up the timeline and is just a blockbuster action movie. I still love T1, T2, and TSal, I don’t mind T3. But genesis and dark fate were 🤢
T3 is fantastic considering it had to be next to the best of the best. T2. Moscow deserves more love. My only hatred is the actor used for John Connor. He’s wimpy and not believable. I love the female terminator too. She’s not Robert Patrick. But man. Who is? And Arnie is back. It works. Great action, decent script, and connects to the first 2 movies. Better than any trash out in 2023.
The idea of wimpy John actually works in context. The future he was raised for never came and it messed him up mentally to the state he was in T3 during which he gradually got his shit together.
wow . how the movies after 2ruined the franchise. maybe not ruined but.. cmon look at this story. i would have gone to theaters for this one or these ones... sad
It's puzzling with good stories already out there, why they didn't just adopt those instead of making something like T3 (which was more of a parody then anything else). It feels the same as Indy IV; Lucas and Spielberg could have just adopted the PC/ Amiga game 'Fate of Atlantis'. Same can be said about Disney Star Wars.
These comics or frankly the books would have made far better sequels than anything we actually got. Ashamed to see them absolutely destroy this beautiful IP.
So I have always wondered how the resistance managed to reprogram a terminator and couldn't send it back to skynet to destroy it . Wouldn't that have saved alot of time ?
Idk if it's true but I heard 3 things kept James Cameron making T3 it's real ending that wasnt shown until you see the special edition then heard Arnold wanting half the money this time around and 3rd and last in 96 97 James Cameron was going to make spiderman and honestly to this day I like to know how that would of been made
Cameron had like 10 different projects running at once. Not everyone wants to stick to one property all the time. He was going to do Strange Days and then gave the project to Bigelow. He had court drama project that went nowhere and also an Armageddon like space movie that fell apart because of budget issues. And then he was doing Titanic and then Avatar.
The way our political climate is changing more violently explains why the Terminator franchise refuses to make another great Terminator film. Robots and AI will replace us and Hollywood knows it.
My question is this: I've robots replace everyone and nobody has any money anymore, what's the point in making industry more 'productive'? I'd nobody's got the money to buy anything ...
I think t2 study would have better if John Conner secretly downloaded all terminators brain and memory all way up to points that terminators head melted away Have John takes the lab top hides it for safety just incase he gets terminated So have it where girl if future leader sends t950 back it’s better version of t800 and t850 T900 has Arnold skin he gets sent back in time right before t850 kills John So we see John about to be blasted away uncle bob shows up As soon as terminator is destroyed he rips it in half with his bear hands Turns around says I’m back Says I’m sorry John for watching be terminated in molted steel John says infront if his mom fuck it works Sara says what works Mom I actually died They found my lab top This terminator is sane brain as one that saved us Terminator explains he’s t950 There’s a girl we gave to save future johns wife So John disspears into mountains off grid Sarah and t950 stay together pose as a couple to wait to save that girl from terminator dark fate movie So johns in hiding The. We see t950 age Have t950 save the t800 parts for future fixes Have t950 is more capable of taking down new terminator models Have this terminator stays intact for future Becomes johns body guard in resistance helps leads humans to victory He tells a future where t800 and t850 have broken connection to skynet start thinking for themselves and they realize skynett is replacing them they go against skynett stop killing humans So skynett has civil war Have future skynett reduced t800 models to 700 hundred no longer make them T950 says if he can get them to join hunan resistance humans will once and for all being skynett down But this is 15 years from now Movie ends with nuclear fallout Sarah gets to see after effect John will show up as soldier and terminator hacker He’s no longer the leader the future wife is
Rise of the machines wasnt bad at all the ending just sucked balls salvation wasnt bad at all either thats where we learned how they made the t 800 and got a hybrid with marcus genysis was good as well this is way studios make what they want because ppl dont know what they want u have to tell them what they want ppl make it seem like arnold wasnt in all except salvation
He may have created it, but let’s keep James Cameron as FAR away as possible from this franchise. He’s lost his touch and his spark, and cares more about technology than storytelling. Just look at his notes and comments about Dark Fate, or Terminator 3.
Come on dude. Could you please take the effort to atleast watch both movies before recording this video. It takes some serous effort to mispronounce Tech Noir.
Listen carefully. The giveaways are pacing, zero personality, and the terrible robotic pronunciation of common words with uncommon grammar which AI still hasn't got down yet. Getting so butthurt over my comment and replying with such crap is just sad.
