Terminator Timeline Explained 

"hollywood just doesn't know when to quit" yep

Instead of Genisys they should have just carried on from Salvation. Have the film be about the final battle against Skynet with the ending of the film being Kyle Reese getting sent back in time, completing the time loop.

I am glad we all agree that the Terminator 2 Ending Is the only ending.

him: "hello and welcome im the invisible man!" me: everyones got a gimmic

I dont understand the hate for Salvation. At least it tried to be different and I enjoyed it. Would have liked to seen a final future battle.

Invisible Man: That's the whole Terminator timeline Terminator Dark Fate: I'm gonna ruin this man's whole career Edit: thanks for 1k likes, didnt think I would reach this far

Terminator timeline is so confusing TERMINATOR: DARK FATE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

You explained the timeline more clearly than others. I've watched several other videos explaining the Terminator timeline but none explained as clearly as you.

The terminator: *exist* The invisible man: *triggered*

Skynet is like herpes: Just when you think it's gone, one or more terminators randomly pop back up again out of nowhere.

Imagine skynet sending back a terminator to protect the guy who made skynet

Now imagine a new timeline in which Skynet and the Resistance keep sending people back and forth throughout time, and therefore breaking Spacetime, leading to a huge, never-ending war between infinite copies of Schwarzenegger trying to either kill or protect John Connor. That would be kinda fun

I like terminator 3. I think its underated . Yeah it doesnt hold a candle to 1 and 2 but it actually ends with judgement day. Which is cool because we see it happen. And we see the origin of skynet with the white flying machines and the mini rolling tanks

“And to show her appreciation the two of them have sex” 🤣 I wish the women in my life would show their appreciation 🤦🏻‍♂️

Honestly, fantastic video and channel, straight to the point, very informative, great job

I been binge watching your channel this week. This is the first of your videos that I seen. Thanks Invisible Man💪

I think I've watched this video 3 times lol Keep up the good work!

He said “Timeline” 41 times

Awesome video and great work!!

Best timeline vid I’ve seen so far. Thanks 🙏!

Holy cow dude you're friggin hilarious!!! Awesome stuff!!!

The Pre destination theory actually is correct if you go by a unfilmed scene by Cameron in T2. You can look up the storyboard on T2 Ultimate Edition they have a storyboard that shows John sending the T800 from T2 back right after he sends Reese. Also it indications that the original movie pre destination exist or it isn't timeline zero as you say is that John has given Reese a photo of Sarah and constantly talks to him about her. Cause dude wants to make sure he's born lol still good video bro

Good vid. Straight forward and simple. Subscribed.

I was so confused thanks for trying to help because watch mojo literally just gave a summary of the movie w/ out explaining. Your commentary is so funny and I really enjoyed this video 😌

In genisys skynet understood that since evil Johnie was one step ahead always, it needed to delete the timelines of the previous terminators stop fighting him in the past and become one with evil Johnie. No Johnie no judgement day, evil Johnie was the problem!

Christian Bailed out because he was too scared of these timelines.

Very helpful and underrated channel. New sub!!!

Awesome video, keep up the good work

In T2, the prologue narration says that Skynet sent back 2 Terminators at the same time.

You should get a green suit, and wear a black hat, tie and glasses so your just a bunch of floating clothes

Thanks for clearing this up!!

This was an amazing video 💯💯👏👏👏👏

4:44 not gonna lie. That scene when I first saw it made me cry.

But it makes no sense for John to have 2 different fathers. He would be genetically a different person with a different father. If original John had a different father, that means Kyle Reese's son John was not the John destined to lead the resistance. Plus, if Skynet never happened as per T2, then John would seize to exist since his father went back in time to father him. As great as T2 was, it seems T1 is the only one that doesn't defy logic as it works logically if we consider Kyle was always meant to travel back in time to father John. T2 creates logical inconsistencies especially with John's existence. But T3 sort of fixes it by saying Skynet still gets formed anyways and Judgement Day is postponed. I think this whole mess of a timeline would make more sense if they had not made Kyle Reese, John's father in any timeline.

What a great explanation! And yeah, it got a bit complicated but well done

Out of all the explanations on RU-vid, this one makes the most sense.

Invisible man... Are you Mr BEAST twin?

The terminator series just needs to end. Maybe skynet will NEVER be defeated

Hey Man long time no see i hope you are doing alright in this years especially Corona you are my favourite youtuber by explaining things and i appreciate this. Oh boy when you come back to make video about Terminator Dark Fate and how bad it was xDD it will be a hell hole anyways i hope you are doing well you'r family too stay strong in these times and cya one day!!!!!!

That was a great explanation now it all makes sense

the T-1000 was sent right after the first T-800 though, John sent Kyle back to 1984 first and then the T-800 to 1995 before Skynet was destroyed (the timelines of T3, Salvation and Genisys aren't accurate so i'll leave those out)

Holy shit. For the longest time I been trying to figure out the whole terminator time line but never got it.....TILL NOW

Great job

I was almost there. I almost had it. Thanks bro. You fixed all of it!

I personally think that the T-800 in T1 and the T-1000 are from the same timeline

I get the feeling that 1 - 4 were treated like one timeline, even though it shouldn't be.

This happens to be the greatest explanation of terminator ever on RU-vid!

Well done actually 👍🏼

I actually loved genesis. Because skynet seems to be aware that they are stuck in a perpetual battle. Between the T3 and genesis timelines, it’s implied that there have been thousands of other time travel events.

everything is awesome except the pre-destination thing from T1 and that reese came to T4 because he was the one to help them stop Genisys, but this is definitely one of the best!!

This is some quality content right here...

Thanks for that.

Unpopular opinion Terminator salvation was a good movie

Everyone before Dark Fate to know everything | V

Hey Logicked nice to see you

This was the best terminator timeline explanation so far was still some flaws and a few paradox’s but still the best yet.

I wish I didn’t have to do this but there is the timeline of the TV series that somehow makes things even worse

is it necessary to wear that funny suit? impress us, wear a green one, and actually be invisible with just the floaty hat

U deserve a sub

This is top notch content

If Timeline 1 starts the moment T800 and Kyle go back to 1984,then how do you explain the photo of ‘sad’ Sarah Connor that Kyle holds in the future of Timeline 0 (zero) ??

I’m still lost lol

Really love the terminator music. It's so epic 😊

Sir you have earned my sub

when you change a timeline, you split the universe into different universes aka multiverse where different things happens depending of the severity of the change, right?

well how will terminator 6 create even more timelines after this

Nice video

Thank you for this explanation. I enjoy this interpretation of Time Travel more because it avoids the frustrating Time Paradox (where changing something in the past alters the future even though doing so will mean the thing you went back to change never existed and therefore you didn't end up time traveling at all) and the confusing Time Loop (where you are trapped in a single revolving path of living, going back in time, doing something, and then dying or not). It does have some basis in real-world scientific theory and reinforces the fact that the future isn't set with time travelers originating from merely one of many possible alternate futures.

Thinking about it the liquid metal ones couldn't have gone through the time machine

Yup you forgot that now dark fate is in action for a timeline add in. Let's see how you fit this in

Best explanation ever, thank you Invisible man. Now I will be waiting for the revised video to include Terminator Dark Fate, or do you have to since its allegedly a follow on from T2, which should end up at Terminator Salvation. Where John Connor at lol

Great video, however there is one possible mistake I noticed, you stated on timeline 1 that the T-1000 and reprogrammed T-800 were sent back to 1995 from 2029, in Terminator 2 the T-800 tells John “35 years from now you send me back” meaning he would’ve been sent from 2030, not 2029

The True Terminator Timeline Stops At T2. Change My Mind.

Poor salvation, everyone likes to hop on the hate train instead of thinking for themselves

How come this man doesn’t have millions of subscribers ?

This a good video

My definitive timeline ignoring Genysis and Dark Fate 1984: A T-800 arrives in Los Angeles 1984, sent back from the year 2029 to kill Sarah Conner, the mother of the future Resistance leader John Conner. Unbeknownst to the Terminator The Resistance sent back one of their own soldiers, Kyle Reese, to find and protect Sarah from the T-800. The events of the film plays out. Sarah and Kyle successfully stop The Terminator but Kyle looses his life in the process. Earlier in the film Kyle and Sarah made love and it’s revealed at the end that Sarah is pregnant with John making Kyle his father. Sarah records a message for John to listen to when the time is right and drives off into the desert and says “A storm is coming”. She is right. 1995: 10 years after the events of the first film John now 10 years old is living in a foster home while Sarah ended up in a psychiatric hospital due to her being apparent delusions of the future and unable to properly take care of John. This time two Terminators end up being sent back from the future, 1 being a reprogrammed T-800 future John sent to protect himself now since he was born and the other the T-1000 a highly advanced shapeshifting Terminator sent to kill John. The rest of the films events play out. John, Sarah and the T-800 defeat the T-1000 but the T-800 sacrifices itself so it’s parts cannot be reverse engineered to create Skynet any earlier and try to avert the future war. Sarah says the following as she and John drive off into the night, “The unknown future rolls toward us…if a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.” 2004: nearly 9 years after the second film John Conner has been running from his destined fate as the future leader of The Resistance. Sarah Conner has passed away from cancer and John is alone. However, again two terminators have been sent back from the future after the war ended, The T-850 sent back to protect John’s future wife Kathrine Brewster and the other being the T-X a female Terminator sent back to kill Brewster and any other future Resistance members. The rest of the film plays out. The T-850 destroys itself and the T-X in an explosion and get John and Kate to safety. They find there is no stopping Skynet, it launches a worldwide nuclear attack and Judgment Day begins, 3 billion lives are ended. John accepts his fate as leader, he and Kate try to contact any survivors and create the resistance. John says the following “The battle has just begun”. He is right. 2018: The future War, John and his mother tried so hard to avoid and prepare for has come to past. For the past 14 years The Resistance has been fighting Skynet for control of the world and also try to save as many survivors they come across. During the war a man called Marcus Wright awakens to a unfamiliar world he doesn’t remember. He was a former death row inmate who was executed shortly before Judgement Day. Unknown to him he was experimented on and later finds out himself that he is actually a human hybrid Terminator that unlike the others he has free will. He comes across a young Kyle Reese John’s future father, who is at the top of Skynet’s kill list so Marcus protects him and gets him to The Resistance. The Rest of the events of the film play out. John is severely injured and the only way to save him is a transplant. Marcus sacrifices his life to save John and give The Resistance something they desperately need. Hope. 2029: 11 years after the events that unfolded in 2018, Skynet is on the brink of defeat, John Conner and his Resistance are about to win the war they’ve fought so hard and long in. Skynet knowing this, sends back a Terminator, the T-800, back in time with a machine they created over the course of the war. This action shuts down Skynet and The Resistance wins the war. John inspects the machine and knows what must be done, knowing he has to send someone back he chooses Kyle Reese, due to him being his father and to also to protect his mother, Sarah. Kyle is sent back to the time The Terminator was sent to. Los Angeles 1984.

Well terminator dark fate cleans all of the movies that happened after judgement day and heads into dark fate

I just saw this in my youtube recommended feed, and I watch this. Ohhh man... this pre-dates Avenger's Endgame's time line... Glad I got to see this before Terminator Dark Fate comes out in a few days..

Good video

and everyone lived happily ever after. Then they got GREEDY

I don't like it when people say there is no Original timeline.

your going to need to do this once more

Nice job. Now fit in the next Terminator movie 😝

When will Jean Luc Picard step in and say "Computer, end simulation"

The timeline is simple, watch t1 and t2 and done

Got a sub from me nice video

And here they come to Terminator 6... another universe... thank you for your explaination...

Thank God Terminator 6 is ignoring these awful movies. The only Terminator movie I like after 2 is salvation the rest is glorified fanfiction.

4:23 - 4:33 .I don't know why that's so funny lol. Edit so

Thank god, I was getting really confused, this video helped clear some shit up😂

The reason Genisys has "plot holes" is because it was part 1 of a planned trilogy. The "holes" would've been filled in as reveals in subsequent films in order to keep mystery surrounding how the other terminators got there, Kyle was sent to that timeline, where the T-5000 came from and more. It was meant to be a trilogy exploring what happens eventually after so many times of travelling back in time and messing with the timeline, a pretty cool idea personally and one that would've paid off if the other two films had been made.

Let's hope James Cameron can undo this mess... maybe even render the sequels (T3 onward) obsolete like the Halloween movies recently were.

you’re reminding me of the nostalgia critic and it’s deeply concerning. I do really like the video though so don’t worry about it, it’s more a joke than anything else.

That was impressive.

You should do one with the newest terminator. :D :D

2019... They reboot the shit up.. totally now. No Connor, No Skynet. but a brand new AI and stuff.

from my timeline, terminator has send back to protect sarah connor, they made sex, and the cyborg child brings peace between humans and machines.....

man that terminator music is so epic

Hello bro! Explain *terminator dark fate* Timeline TY
