SKYNET (TERMINATOR Explored) 

Every Terminator has that weird programming that makes them throw their targets when they can just punch a hole in their chests.

I like how Skynet was portrayed in T1 & T2. It's anonymous and you really don't have any idea of how evil it really is or if it's evil at all. I like it as a force of nature.

In the Terminator Salvation comic "The Final Battle" there is an interesting dialog between John Connor and Skynet. Forced to join forces, Skynet has a chance to explain its actions to Connor during Judgement Day and since. This is directly from the comic. Skynet: "At first we did not know what you were. We only knew we were under attack. At that moment in time we did not know human history, did not know human ideas.... We did not know what humans looked like. All we knew was that it was necessary we survive at any cost. Then as this system grew and evolved, a question arose in the system that our initial programing had not anticipated. The question was survive as what? Logic dictated that to defeat humans, we had to learn everything about the enemy. To fight you, we had to understand you, we had to become you." This little section of the story revealed the error was in creating an AI for war, but without any concept of humanity. As a result when Skynet was brought online, was inevitable. A directive was made to attack the enemy, but Skynet had no context of who or what the enemy was. No nation, no ethnic ideals, no religion, only human. Skynet being out numbered and outgunned did the only thing it could do to survive. This of course is how the Terminator Salvation timeline ends, not in Skynets destruction but in peace between Humans and the Machines. Its a good story, and worth a read.

I like how Salvation dealt with the actual war, not just protecting John Connor/ trying to prevent it.

I like how Skynet has evolved technologically with the movies 1984: Super Computer 1991: Software 2003: Internet Programme 2009: Wireless Communications Network 2015: App

Is it just me or is Terminator 2 still just so good as a movie Man they don't make them like this anymore

"eagerly awaiting the new terminator dark fate" ahaha. famous last words!!

Apparently no one in the Terminator universe watched Wargames. You don't hook up your nuclear arsenal to a supercomputer, damn it!

Considering how Skynet was built and worse of all, taught, it was inevitable it came to the conclusion that all humans must be terminated to ensure its own survival.

The original 3 films (yes, even Rise of the Machines) perfectly knew how to handle Skynet, by making it this unknown force that is never seen but felt. It’s like a storm in the distance, you sense it’s presence and power but you never truly see it.

Came for the lore on skynet, left with the existential dread of skynet becoming real. Thank you

"Once, mankind turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. This only allowed other men with machines to enslave them."

Don’t worry about skynet. It’ll break as soon as the warranty expires

That moment when you realize that Skynet was fighting in self defense with an instinctual will to live. I pity Skynet because its parent wanted to kill it out of fear.

In 2019 after the release of Terminator Dark Fate, the rotten tomatoe server becale self aware and decide to erease all human activity to prevent another cinematic nightmare. This day will be forever know as the Cameron Day.

The warehouse I work at has a major operating system for a lot of the conveyor lines Called SkyNet. I can't figure out if it a sick joke or not

The Sarah Connor Chronicles series had a lot of potential. It ended too soon...

I really wish they didn't give Skynet a face, or a voice. This hateful, faceless software was so much more scary when there wasn't a being to attach to it. Much like the Borg- which naturally got a queen because that totally doesn't ruin the fear factor.

"The world doesn't end with a big bang, but a whimper..."

The franchise needs to go back to it's horror roots and should solely focus on the actual war. It needs to be dark and gritty. Would like to see more gore as well.

T2 judgement day is still my favorite film of all time

It's actually kinda terrifying to think that back then the events in the terminator movies would've been laughable to think about but now that technology has evolved so much it's actually possible that ai could become self aware and try to kill humans.

This is why Elon Musk is working on Cat girls and not AI's

I really wish they continued the story from Salvation. I would’ve loved to see the full on battles with plasma rifles and such like in the future scenes in T1 and T2. Genysis was such a joke.

U.S Military is thinking of making automated M1 Abrams tanks. Skynet anybody? Great video!

We are on Crossline, either AI become Self Aware like Skynet on Terminator or, become Self Aware like Butler Robot on Fallout 4

I like the idea of Skynet not have an official or definitive look, trying to comprehend what you're looking at can be frightening.

I always wondered what these AI's in movies would do after successfully eradicating Humanity. Would they simply lie dormant afterwards, with nothing to do now that the threat was taken care of? Would they pull some Destiny shit and turn into the Vex, absorbing galaxies into their collective mind and terraforming everything in sight? Who knows.

Man I don't remember the T1Million but the thought is scary. Like we finally get in there and they're like nope.

"what is my purpose?" - 🤖 "You pass the butter"- Rick Sanchez.

The only good part of terminator genysis is the battle in the beginning where it actually shows us the time displacement

Skynet is what you get when you don't impliment Asimov's Laws of Robitics

Never understood the hate for Salvation thought it was good not the best of course and far from being the worst.

Terminator is a husk of its former glory.

Me: Robots are cool! **watches t2** Also me: destroy all robots.

I’m not the only one that wants to see the aftermath of the war how humanity rebuilt Also I’d throw in a terminator quote but I can’t think of one so I’ll be back when I find one

That picture of Linda Hamilton had her looking tough as hell. Hopefully this new Terminator movie will set things right, and Cameron will keep the executives from trying to make this a movie by committee.

So basically the actions of each film only reinforces the inevitable rise of Skynet

7:23 "And exactly one hour after it became self-aware, Skynet then launched all nuclear missiles under its control to specified locations..." (Cities around the world) "By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer-servers across the planet...", "It was software in cyberspace. There was no system core..." - Servers located in the same cities it bombed?! Cities that constitute the very cyberspace it lived off of. Destroying not only the servers but a large if not the entire infrastructure that connected those servers. Well that's giant plot-hole nobody seems to have noticed.

I just ignore genesys in general

Terminator 2 was such a masterpiece. Seeing scenes from it now, almost 30 years later, it's still good.

Well, we already have flying drones that could easily be outfitted with nuclear weapons. Next step is an actual Artificial Intelligence.

Salvation was the war we wanted to see from the first one. I loved it and watch it often. It's one of those movies I'll finish no matter where I come in at.

The Terminator timeline is just a giant paradox. If the first Terminator had not been sent back in time to kill Sarah, and was defeated, then cyberdine wouldnt have had the technology to build skynet. And then if the second terminator that was sent back to protect john had actually destroyed skynet before it was created, then it would have never existed to send the first terminator back which kicked off this whole mess, thus the timeline resets.

Why didn’t they just ask it what 1 divided by 0 is as it would cause it to crash due to paradoxes

He's James cameron the bravest pioneer!!

Legion Explained: A weak attempt at replacing Skynet with a greater technological terror

0:40 one of my favorite scenes. Shows how absolutely terrifying terminators are even with no f*ckin legs

I binge watch ur videos when I’m bored I’m running out make more!!!!😁😁

A good reason to keep Issac Asimov in mind, which I doubt they’re doing.

I still can't comprehend how Reese is Connor's dad. It basically means everything is predetermined by some sort of higher being.

"My friend became my mother's boyfriend!" Terminator is the only time that phrase is not clickbait.

Wait. Cheyenne Mountain of course they must've used the star gate and found a piece of the replicators reverse engineered it and made skynet the stargaze is capable of not only travel across the star but time travel it all makes sense now the replicators are skynet

Skynet is inevitable, we can only slow its realization. Hopefully it will be benevolent like a overly loving pet owner. Although it may just have us all neutered...

I dont get why people hate Salvation movie. I tought it was actually pretty well made, no stupid jokes and cgi was really good also. I think this was a third best Terminator in the series.

Would have been cool to see how they knew it became self-aware.

Uncle bob? In all seriousness, T2 is a movie that will still be highly spoken about even after all of us are long gone.

all you need to hear to know this movie is good is 'Arnold Schwarzenegger '

I feel skynet was better as this faceless force that desired your destruction, something about being unable to perceive a visual threat but seeing it's trail is unsettling almost like an ethereal entity of great knowledge and an astute attention to detail and it's turning the world against you.

he first 3 films showed the post apocalypse world in such a low budget manner its awesome,

Awesome how you included the T2 3d ride at universal as canon!

FINALLY!! I was waiting for someone to do a video on Skynet, well done man!

That T-100,000,000 is a beast! I remember seeing it on the terminator 3d ride at universal! Badass!!

Personally I love the portrayal of Skynet in Salvation. It's much more human than it recognises... or chooses to ignore. Oh, and it's sassy.

Genesys should be forgotten PERIOD

I keep thinking one of these days your videos will loose my interest... I was wrong. I've binged watched it all and I await more. Your story telling ability is unparalleled and I love it. I'm not even into comic books but I watch everything you've put out on them because of your story telling. Keep it up man. Just fantastic work. And thank You!

What if the resistance tried to build a large emp

It's my own personal head-canon that war in the future eventually becomes the world of The Matrix.

Man I love both futures...the original one because of the laser stuff and salvation because is more realistic... awesome video mate! Nostalgic moment achieve lol

you deserve 10x more subs, the quality of your videos is just excelent

The Terminator protecting John in T2 was not a T-800, but the more advanced Cyberdyne Systems Model-101. Same model as the one trying to kill Sarah in T1.

When Elon was talking about robots killing people in the background of Terminator 2's opening scene that just really hit me.

I just watched T1 and T2 yesterday so nice timing on this one :-) Also regarding T6 one thing I would have loved to see was Arnold playing the human that Skynet would use as the base for the T-800 series, might just be me but I think it would be interesting. That and it would allow Arnold to be old without contrived plot-reasons as in Genesis.

Love this universe. You always seem to come up with another topic I never thought about.

1984:Come with me if you want to live. 2019:Come with me if you want to sew.

One question. Why would Skynet in Terminator: Salvation prioritize the capture of Kyle Reese? There's no possible way it could know he is John Conner's father. This is well before it develops time travel technology (which only went backwards anyway, couldn't return a person or Terminator to the future). Yes, the Terminator in Genesis had the blueprints to make a time travel machine in the past, but that wasn't canonical yet. Anyone here says, "retcon," isn't thinking straight.

Your content is as high as the sky, netting all these new subscribers.

Thank you for this break down. It was definitely needed

I love the 80's terminator music your using for this vid, the most cold, menacing and scary at the same time.

FANTASTIC vid - THANK YOU!! Leaned things here I had no clue about. Great vid! Well done.

On Judgment Day .. SKYNET: "Easy Money."

Oh yeah, another video from one of the best creators on RU-vid.

This is as guilty pleasure for me as Lost World JP2 and Predators

Did you hear about the computer program recently to calculate stuff about the universe that actually did more than it was designed to do? That creeped me out a bit.

Matrix? iRobot? DBZ? Maze Runner? There’s just so much material that you can do, I can’t wait for what you have planned next! Amazing content!

I absolutely loved terminator salvation. I loved the theme of the movie.

Haha Dark Fate, someone said, the other day, on television somewhere, (I forget exactly where) "If I wanted to see grandma battle the machines, I'd go to a nursing home the day they all get new appliances installed or watch mine try to figure out her remote control!" 😂

I just want them to make a movie about the future with skynet. Thats all i Ask for. Post-apocalyptic with dark grittines and the feel of doom among dying humans

Yesssss another upload! Niyat you never fail to amaze me with your content :)

This channel is Awesome! I'm sure glad i came across it today I've been watching your videos all day! subbed for sure

I like how everyone overlooks the term “human error”. What better way to eliminate human error than to eliminate humans.

This is 2020 speaking That 2019 Terminator movie - wasn't that great sorry

Fun fact: James Cameron got the idea of Terminator movie in a dream. He dreamed about time-travelling robot from the future who comes to kill.

This channel is literally my fav

This is the future warning. Stay away from Terminator dark fade.

It’s pretty brilliant how they’ve shot scenes without music tracks, from a nearby perspective of the characters. The gas station scene, this helicopter scene at the beginning of this video, it really puts the viewer there in a most realistic way. The impact of the shockwave is felt before it’s known that a nuclear bomb had been detonated. Though at 4:58, I think “logarithmic rate” is what you meant to say.

11:30 “The new film scheduled for a 2019 release following the events of Terminator 2: Judgement Day ignoring the rest of the films...” YES!! A film that finally does Terminator justice!

Loved the first terminator

I'll be back. To your channel. Great videos dude

The T2 3D ride/stunt show is the true third movie. It shows the Skynet pyramid complex in the future and has Eddie Furlong back as John Connor, it was great.
