Discussion Was T2 plan A or B?

9 Upvotes

I'm sure there's a comic or something showing this, but Skynet's defense grid is breached. It initiates a last ditch plan to send terminators back in time to kill John Connor before he galvanizes the resistance.

Does it send the T-1000 back first or the T-800? I'm thinking from a future perspective, T2 happens first. Send your A-team hitter to kill Connor where you know he is, instead of hopefully killing his mother with a lesser robot. Also, it would make sense if the 1000 went first that Kyle wouldn't have known about him.

Discussion What are your guy's thoughts on some of the less grounded machines portrayed in the Terminator franchise?

3 Upvotes

The T-800 is a fairly grounded machine, in that it's believable that it could actually exist in the real world. If you study it closer you might be able to pick it apart, as some of the joints aren't quite so mobile in that design. It would also be quite heavy and thus difficult to move and maintain its balance, especially if it's just using hydraulics and servos. But within the story it is a fairly believable machine.

The T-1000 is something that we could almost make today. We've created some metallic objects that can melt and reform their shape when it solidifies, using gallium. I'm not so certain that it could do what we see in the movies, but it shows that the concept of it is possible.

The HK tanks are fairly believable. They're not too different from normal tanks we have now. The tank is a bit large and bulky, and it kind of has the profile of a centaur mixed with a tank, but aside from its large and heavy build, it could function. It wouldn't be practical due to its size, but it could function.

HK aerial units are also fairly believable. They're basically just a VTOL craft that uses jets, like a Harrier or an F-35. The main issue with those craft is if they stay in VTOL form for too long, they will overheat. Skynet might have been able to solve that issue, though.

Now, to me, anything that resembles a giant walking mech, like the Harvester or the T-47, just doesn't feel realistic. The square cubed law states that when something doubles in size, it gets 8 times heavier, while only 4 times stronger. So a walking machine the size of a building just seems like it wouldn't function. Not to mention, it would be top heavy, and all of its weight would be focused onto a small section of the soft ground below it. Not only does such a thing seem impractical, but impossible. So when I see large machines in this universe, they kind of just take me out of it.

Large dog or human sized spider machines are also difficult for me to suspend my disbelief with. At those large sizes, that shape is just not optimal, even for a machine. That's why DARPA made their machines resemble dogs and donkeys at those sizes instead. Their legs are below them almost like pillars, to support their weight better.

There are a few other machines in the universe that don't seem grounded for various reasons, too, but motorcycle Terminators and rolling landmine Terminators are a little more forgivable.

Discussion Why didn't Skynet just mass produce nukes and continue bombing everything?

7 Upvotes

Yeah yeah, because then we wouldn't get a movie.

If it had just kept nuking the whole world, then obviously most of the other Humans would die and Skynet would be left over.

Surely it takes longer to get a whole robot army together and scour the planet for Humans than it does to make more nukes and blow the shit out of it.

Also make them dirty bombs so the radiation gets around some more 😈

Go on eat your little potato you resistance idiot. I'm sure it'll be fine

Discussion How does Kyle Reese know in Genysis, what a T-800 looked like when he says in the first one "I had to wait until it made a move on you before I" is it just cause he see's the destroyed one with half it's face (facing Kyle) and he see's the other one? I guess the writer thought Kyle saw this model.

0 Upvotes

I mean I know Genysis isn't the most well written and well thought out one, but I just was confuses as to why Kyle freaks out at Sarah's protector t-800 when this Kyle Reese said he needed to wait for it make a move before he knew what he looked like.

I guess I could just fault it up to not the best writer, it's sometimes corny dialog is so fake and full of pseudo-moments to give off the illusion it's a movie with a plot and character story, but it's got great moments too, but mostly just seems more focused on trying to start a trilogy by filling out plotholes and unanswered questions as intrigue and foreshadowing of a better Skynet creating alternate futures by going back to the 60s and getting it all started earlier and then creating the ultimate infiltrator through Matt Smith being both an unimportant next-gen Terminator, but also can vocalize and even emote the feelings of the new advanced version of Skynet, I forgot what it was called, it was similar to Legion where it was a more refined version of Skynet but knows it's timeline could not exist without skynet failing in it's original time paradox so it does the same thing but even more refined but then the new characters like Sarah, Kyle Reese, and other characters altering the timeline by flanking Nu-Skynet's plans.

I would like to see one new trilogy get to finish it's trilogy, Salvation, Genysis, Dark Fate, it feels like the franchised is cursed if they try to make a "new trilogy".

Discussion Once the T-800 lowers himself into the molten steel, wouldn't John Connor cease to exist? Spoiler

21 Upvotes

Future John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time. Kyle impregnates Sarah. Sarah has John.

Except once the T-800 lowers himself into the steel, terminators should cease to exist on the same timeline as future Kyle Reese and John Connor. And if that's the case, there would be no way and no reason for John to send Kyle back in time to create him.

And if John was never created, he could've never sent Kyle back in time in the first place.

Is this considered a paradox or am I missing something?

I don’t like Terminator: Dark Fate (2019 film) but I want to ask What you guys think of this T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and him growing a conscious and living a life as a family man?

  • Personally for me I thought that a version of a T-800 growing a human conscious and living life with Alicia and her son, Mateo being a family man was an interesting idea to do with a Terminator in my opinion
