The T-H (TERMINATOR) Explained 

Still like Terminator Salvation. The filmmakers shouldn't have released the trailers that showed the twist

I really thought Salvation was Okay. It really got too much dislikes; the machines that introduced sound very well too; the hydrobots; the hunter; the extended airhunter ships; the new terminator...etc.

From the human perspective, salvation was actually a good movie, it felt really real. From the weapons to the use of the damn near indestructible A-10. It made it felt a bit more of a real resistance was being put up

Ireally wish they continued to use Marcus he was a great character

I loved Salvation. It was somewhat original rather than recycling T2 concepts over and over again

2009: "This film is awful and destroys the Terminator franchise." 2020: "I miss the days where Salvation was as bad as it could get."

Terminator: Salvation was a great way to take the franchise in another direction. I don't care what other people say, I like the film. It's a real shame that Terminator: Dark Fate had put the franchise six feet under.

That moment when Skynet asked John Connor for help, you know some shit is about to happen.

In retrospect, this movie didn't fail because it was a bad movie, it failed because it came out after T3. The first two terminator movies were and still are timeless classics, the second one in particular holds up to major block busters today, both from a story and special effects perspective... the third Terminator movie, "Rise of The Machines" felt like a slap in the face to every kid that grew up with the originals. Everything about it from its plot that didn't make sense to special effects that just looked boring and fake to the characters acting in ways opposite to the cores of their personalities, it felt like an extreme betrayal of everything we grew up with... they couldn't even get the tone right. Salvation, on the other hand, chose to do something different with its story... yet, it still is VERY MUCH a product of and logical evolution to the first two films. It still told a very serious story, there was horror and drama at the core of the film, the visual effects looked incredible and real, and the tone was perfect.... but it was still "different"... and unfortunately, people weren't ready for "different", people were pissed off about being cheated out of the third movie people were expecting, and after that slap in the face even the hardcore fans were looking for a return to the safe and the familiar, which Salvation did not provide from them.. I think things would have been very different if the T3 movie never existed. If Salvation had come out instead of T3, I think we'd have seen a very different, and more likely a generally more positive response to its release, and probably would have seen sequels by now.

marcus is the ultimate wweapon, human emotion, power of a machine what a legend

A pleasant surprise that you did a video on Terminators. Keep up the awesome uploads!

A lot of people hate this terminator but I like it. Better than the John Connor terminator and the rev nine in my humble opinion

These terminator vids are bomb. Awesome!

this has gotta be the most realistic terminator movie yet

I was just watching Terminator Salvation a couple of minutes ago

Its surprising to see that Marcus was the prototype unit for the T-800 once we saw his endoskeleton reveal in the movie. The first time I saw that part, my jaw dropped.

Terminator Salvation is probably my favorite, as fantastic as the first two were. I greatly prefer this version of the “future war” to the what we see in earlier movies: a much more practical and grounded version where the smaller terminators still use conventional weaponry and things like plasma weapons are reserved for the big, powerful units that have the spare energy to use them like the harvester and aerial HK. I never actually saw the trailers which definitely helped with first impressions, and I got it for free when I bought my PS3 of all things.

2:17 Skynet is Bellatrix Lestrange? Who would have thought? Probably plays "I killed Sirius Black" on a loop.

I actually mentioned when I saw the movie that the good-guy Terminator could theoretically regrow its heart after "sleeping" for a while. I'm glad there was a work of fiction that explored that possibility.

Is this what happened to Mason during the events of Bo2?

I wish they would have made a salvation 2. I really liked this movie.

Never knew why so many disliked this movie, I always hoped for a terminator movie to be like this, my favourite terminator film.

Keep up the good work! Usually your vids are better than the movies you cover

Ngl this is my favorite terminator And i actually liked salvation

I always thought that Marcus was an attempt to make the ultimate infiltration Terminator but with the limitation that Marcus could make his own decisions based on having a sense of morality and human emotion.

Marcus looks like a dude I used to work with, seeing him every day was kinda like "Wow! I know you from the future!"

T1: Great, T2: Somehow better, T3: Plot hole creating trash, Salvation: Better than people give it credit for, Genisys: Had the potential to be decent ruined by its own trailer, Dark Fate: We don't talk about it, it never happened.

I read that graphic novel. It was really good. Some of the other comics even showcased why the terminators skin and organs could grow back completely

This is the most interesting terminator ever. Marcus's memories must've been uploaded to his cybernetic brain. The only biological trait is his heart, if it's his at all. Thanks, great review

I can't say I like that the comic brought Marcus back to life after his sacrifice to save Connor. It's a cool idea that the hybrids can regrow their organic components like the heart. However, him saving Connor was his second chance at redemption.

This is an interesting concept of trial and error when making the infiltration units Skynet made the T-600s; Not human enough Skynet made the T-Hybrids; Too much human And then it hit the perfect spot; The T-800, which then got upgraded to the T-1000, and later the T-X

I really want that Comic to be a movie. I want to see Human and Exoskeletons on the same side for once.

Marcus was my favorite character in terminator series. Who ever create a super A I please used Optimus Prime as your template NOT Skynet.

This is actually my favorite terminator movie, I thought it had a lot more insight into what is actually happening in the war that the other movies didn’t show. Of course the other movies had information but this gave me the war feel of terminator

I laughed at the end when he donated his heart to JC. I was like, wasn't it _just_ smashed by the prototype???

Judgement day and Salvation are my favourite Terminator movies.

you made it less depressing now that I know he lived on. very nice. thank you.

Sweet, always looking forward to your videos.

This idea of the hybrid terminator was explored in the comic series The Terminator by Dark Horse comics. The difference was that it was a whole town created by Skynet. Not just one.

I never gave this movie much of a chance. Now after seeing Genysis, Dark Fate, and your detailed explanation of Salvation, I now have a new appreciation for this movie. Thank you

Miles Dyson redeamed himself and died a hero! 👍

I’m sorry that those metallic bones especially for the spines/ribs is really... really unsettling

Very nice to know that Marcus didn't actually die, though I imagine it would have been a pretty rude awakening in a grave lol

Best Square Space transition ever. Nice video and thanks for the recommendation of The Final Battle.

Salvation, was the only Terminator movie in the series that I actually liked. The rest were so stupid the 3rd one taking the ultimate stupidity and absurd prize.

long overdue. Great vid as always Niyat. Keep em comin.

This movie is criminally underrated So many layers of depth paving the road for an organic integration with T1 and T2 Sad they just ignored it...

A good video as always man thanks for always entertaining

Ahh yes! More Terminator Lore and Information!! Love these videos!

Rip to the TH terminator Marcus he was the most underrated terminator in the whole franchise. And also such an underrated actor ❤❤

Thanks for the video man

Skynet didn’t shut the project down because of Marcus, they shut it down because of their next t-h terminator. In the comics that show what happened after salvation, it showed that Marcus survives but was unconscious until his body repaired itself. The next hybrid they made while following skynets orders at first somehow hacked many of skynets servers and controlling them to the point where he was a threat to both skynet and humanity and both worked together temporarily to destroy him (idk what the terminators name was)

Thanks Squarespace

Another good reference on the THs was the novel Trial By Fire, which picks right after Salvation, and shows more THs of a slightly different design. It also gives some tidbits that you mentioned, like its intentions for Connor. It's really well written, and I recommend it for any fan of the movie.

The nuclear exploration in Judgement Day is the most visceral depiction I have ever seen! Thank you for adding it, and even the chunky part of it 🥰

love T-SALVATION in my eyes is the last truly decent Terminator film that we had despite all it's flaws and so many things that could have been better about it it did deserved to have a whole saga of at least 3 movies to give a proper full circle that the future war deserved also may Anton Yelchin's soul live forever he was a great cast for a young Kyle reese despite the fact that nothing would ever replace Michael Beihn for the iconic Role also... she was very beautiful in this movie 3:35 and also one of my favorite things about the film

The lack of metal detectors by the resistance shows how badly these movies were thought out. And if they really wanted to infiltrate humans make a cyborg child or baby. Human instincts to protect a child is so strong that they would never suspect I did like salvation but to many plot holes. T2 is my all time favorite.

This is awesome can’t wait for you to get to 1m subs

Thanks. The video gave me a new info.

*Terminator Intensifies* God I love T: Salvation.

Sponsors babyyyy, get that bread!

I personally enjoyed this film. Specially considering sam worthington was in it. An amasing actor. I wish we saw him in more films. But due to him not being in alot of projects. Seeing him on screen makes it all the more special due to him not being shown often. But still he has acting potential and would be cool if we saw him in more projects. Hell if i end up acting for movies one day i actually would like to work with that guy. He's pretty awesome

Hey, Niyat, thanks for the video, I’d like to ask a question: Is there a specific paper or document that can be accessed by fans, like your list of requests?

I liked it Salvation. Aside from Common's acting (no offense dude, love your music), it was fun and I'd rewatch. Wish they didn't sacrifice Marcus though.

An open-world game based on terminator universe will be really interesting similar to Fallout 4. Where the main character would be hybrid and you can choose from several backstories of death inmate.

I hope they continue this part

Marcus was one of my fav characters from terminator series. His character development was awsome

Love your videos. The Forbidden Planet is my favourite sci-fi and I'd love it if you did a video on the Krell, the original inhabitants of the planet Altair IV.

More great content yet again

Thank you

Huh, I will need to look up that graphic novel, thanks for the recommendation!

A good way to start the day, balanced breakfast, coffee, and an insightful Niyat video.

Thanks for this video you made the movie better

The best way to finish and wrap up the Terminator franchise in my opinion is going back to Salvation and adapting the Terminator Salvation the Final Battle Comic...that comic has an amazing story written by the same guy who wrote the upcoming Godzilla vs Kong movie...it would end the franchise in a satisfying way and completing John Connors arc with respect...thanks for the great video btw :).

👍Always your videos good job Niyat

As usual, Outstanding video! You should do a video on Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager and before she returns on Star Trek: Picard! Thanks for being one of the best channels on RU-vid!

Oh man, this makes sense of the whole story now.

Could you do Red Dawn, or The book of Eli?

When i was first craving knowledge videos i was starting to freak out until i found this channel so technically, thank you FCE

Can you do ”The Most” explained? Nice video by the way!

I think salvation was an ideal steeping stone towards the full on future war we've seen in the first flasbacks.

Could I request a video on the head crabs?

Loved this terminator.

Out of all the movies in the series i loved how they didnt rely on Arnold Schwarzenegger as to be the main star. Its a refreshing experience and seems almost a new story in itself, but i love this film its one that i can watch then and again without it getting old

What I find interesting about this movie is the instinct at play. The principle goes: you can tell a liar from the truth talker, by watching who engages in deplatforming. Humans know the principle instinctively, but by no means a full proof tool to drive people towards causes. The T800 has a learning computer but is kept switched off when in the field. When it was turned on in T2, it shows that the T800 could become self aware enough to determine that skynet was a fraudulent cause. The T-H also proves the this as it was allowed enough self awareness to recognize Skynet's false cause. Hence Skynet had no choice but to eliminate free will from its existence; first its army, then from humanity. Hence why the HK models are "not too bright". Skynet has no choice but to use dumb machines, less his own army turns on it, and given the T800 series, that's way too easy.

My favorite mode of terminator

@Filmcomicsexplained I would LOVE to see you do a video for "The Tall Man" from the "Phantasm" movies!

Bro that square space transition was fucking smooth

Hey, just want to say lit video and keep up the epic thingy

A truly under rated film.

Underrated overshadowed by Arnie

Salvation is a pretty ok Terminator movie, but suffers from some terrible acting choices and ATROCIOUS pacing and environment The action scenes are well paced and Marcus is a pleasantly original character Edit: And no y’all this isn’t the best last terminator movie you can chill with that

Do Revan from KOTOR please

This film was fun. I enjoyed it and will stand by it

Please, explain "The Wailing", it deserves a video

This is the only Terminator movie after T2 that became a guilty pleasure for me.

T-H: Living tissue, organs and memories over metal endoskeleton.

Awesome movie! I don't care WHO knows It. 👍😇 The only thing I didn't like about Terminator Salvation was the spoilery-ass marketing material, giving away the whole plot and the movie's twist in the pre-release trailers and TV spots. Everyone pretty much went in to the theaters already knowing essentially what was going to happen. So, no matter how effective the execution, the film was virtually doomed to failure from before the beginning. I still consider it to be the "real" third installment in the Terminator film franchise. It took risks that none of the other sequels had the balls to take, by giving us a Terminator that didn't know it was a machine, and setting the narrative in the post-Judgement Day time period. While the other three sequels were essentially nothing more than slightly altered versions of T2. (Yes, Dark Fate included.) Terminator 3; Rise of the Machines had a HORRIBLE John Connor, especially after Edward Furlong played the part so brilliantly. Had basically the same antagonist Machine that the same Terminator from T2 had to protect him from. And Terminator Genisys (even typing it makes me cringe lol) had an even worse John Connor, with a different actor trying to play Kyle Reece and, once again, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator model from T2 and T3 there to protect them from a liquid metal John Connor Terminator. Dark Fate had a chance to reset and save the franchise, but just ended up repeating T2 with new characters in the same roles again, doing the same thing again. So, yea. Salvation is, by FAR, the best of all the Terminator sequels, apart from T-2, of course. And, hopefully they'll stop making more Terminator movies lol like they should have a LONG time ago, before they started on their current path of failure and disappointment.

If there's one great thing about Salvation, this is it. This was the first Terminator movie to give the main terminator a proper personality and goals beyond just working for Skynet. Genisys tried but didn't do it nearly as well.

Another terminator video awesome.
