I was hoping this video was going to delve into actual Terminator mysteries, like WTF was the purpose of the hydrobots in T4? Did Skynet really believe building these things was an efficient way to kill humans, or could those resources have been better put to use building land based machines to kill people where most humans actually live? Instead, we just got a re-cap.
Uh, humans need water. Many survivors would get it from a source like a river and boil the water. Hydrobots could kill humans there sneakily and also travel along sewage pipes and other underground water filled tunnels easily...which as we see in the first movie, much of humanity retreated to. Imagine the city of Venice with hydrobots. It's really not that weird. Also your suggestion to build land based machines is kind of eh. They should focus on building aerial machines because the human race is not going to be building more helicopters and planes, thus aerials would have an advantage even as just recon. The land based would just root them out.
@@Radb707 they show in the opening of T2 that the skynet aircrafts are easier for humans to destroy so id assume thats why they focus on land based machines instead but I still dont think the hydrobots were very practical when skynet can create basically anything like the T1000 which would be infinitely better at infiltrating via pipes and sewers than the weird worm machines we saw
Yeah, and Connor is fated to win and send back Reese to complete the cycle. What comes afterwards is something interesting that no one has explored. What happens after they are free of the predestination paradox? Fate would truly be what they make it.
Not really. Skynet made the time machine for something, before all time travels. Or maybe, the first time machine was created by another ''thing'' and in that new timeline the first skynet was created.
In the comic books they say Kyle Reese wasn't really John's father. Sara Conner was dating someone and already pregnant before she met Kyle. Sara just tells John Kyle is his father so no one well know who is real dad is.
I thought this was going to ask the questions about the stuff that showed in the last few movies like "who sent the terminator to save a young Sarah conner" or "why that female in Dark Fate had coordinates tattoo'd on her side that led to "Carl" the terminator". I didnt care to know any of these question in the video.
I was hoping we would see what happened to the T-800s arm that got stuck in the gears and chain in T2. They threw in the chip and arm from the first one. We never saw them throw that in too and considering that once the machine started rolling again after this T-800 broke it off, they might not have been able to find it too easily before the emergency services (eventually) turn up to the steel mill. After all, that one guy did sound the alarm to clear the building so someone outside of there must have been alerted by that 🤔
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is probably better than the rest of the film sequels after T2, cheesy at times but a lot of more insight into Skynet and various terminators not always fighting but conducting more sophisticated plotting and investigating. We got two seasons at-least, highly recommended.
@@demon56345 It was and a slap to the face with what they did to John Connor, even Furlong was surprised they stooped that low. There's apparently a Terminator anime in the works these past years with Netflix and the creators of Ghost in the Shell. Pretty excited about this one, a lot more opportunities to really explore the Skynet and human resistance developments over a much more broad timeline.
@@daegnaxqelil2733 The first few minutes were a plot hole field of epic levels and later parts add more plot-holes 1A: Since sending the T-1000 was literally SKYNET's final act in the original T2 timeline how was Carl sent back? If Carl was sent before the T-1000 the Resistance would have picked up the energy pulse from the Time Displacement Equipment which is how they knew that SKYNET had sent two Terminators back. 1B: Why didn't the Resistance send a protector for John or at the very least have Uncle Bob warn Sarah and John that there were more Terminators out there? 2: How the hell did Terminators sent by SKYNET keep arriving after the timelines had diverged? Once the events of T2 took place any Terminators sent back by SKYNET should only arrive in timeline branches where SKYNET is created specifically whatever branch they are sent back from. 3: How did Carl find John? Remember the reason the T1 T-800 and the T-1000 were sent to the locations and points in time they were sent to is because that was when SKYNET knew roughly where Sarah or John was. Even if SKYNET had some idea where John was a few months after Judgment Day there is no reason to believe he and Sarah would be in the same area in the new timeline. Not a plothole but why would a franchise which has always included moth human females and human males in its protagonist teams suddenly decide three women and a robot is a good team makeup? Even if they absolutely needed to kill John, and IMO they could have had him injured and thus unable to fight in the field letting Dani lead while he joins Sarah in the teacher and advisor role instead, they could and IMO should have had at least one human male on the main team. Give Dani a second brother, have one of the group they crossed the border with join them, or even have Sarah's military contact join the team. There were lots of ways to do this and have it make sense and kept with the men and women fighting side by side theme of the franchise.
When it comes to dogs, I think it's not just the servos but the lack of emotions from terminator models, which explains why Carl's dog was completely clam with Carl.
I want to know how Arnold in the first Terminator just disappeared after he crashed the police car in the first Terminator in the parking garage where he just vanished and no one saw him get up and leave? It makes no sense to me. A massive body builder like Arnold with an endoskeleton underneath just vanishes like that?
I seem to vaguely remember a quick scene - possibly deleted scene - where a manhole cover behind the car slowly closed, suggesting he snuck into the sewers. Could be thinking of a different movie, though. 🤔
@NarwahlGaming yeah that was a deleted scene. I remember the terminator went down into the sewer and stumbled upon the Turtles lair. They kicked his ass so badly that James Cameron thought it would be a bad idea to release that footage in the movie. You can only find it on the German blue ray version.
Dogs bark at Terminators for the same reason they bark at those yapping puppy toys which do backflips. It freaks them out to see something alive when they can tell it is not a living thing.
Terminators have ultra sounds that humans can't hear either from their nuclear power source or ultraband short range microwave radios & other wireless networks they use to communicate between all Skynet assets. It drives the dogs insane. Why dogs hate thunderstorms as it does actually hurt them psychologically, for Terminators, turn that up to 11.
My biggest issue with the Terminator movies is, how does Skynet make them if it nuked the planet? All the power plants, gone. All the manufacturing facilities, gone. Sounds like a death sentence for Skynet.
I have been saying this for years. Who built the factories and created the massive supply chain needed to create the robots? At the end of T3 there is no supply chain or factories rolling these out. None of the robots at the base in T3 are capable of doing this. Skynet is only software.
3:31 - According to actual nuclear scientists the nuclear detonation in T2 was one of the by far most accurate in the history of cinema. James Cameron and the leading exec in the special effects department were proud and freightened at the same time to hear that acknowledgement by these actual scientists.
More like a TV series. Starting with how the events of 1984 (T1) and 1995 (T2) played out without time travel messing with history and tell a logical way for John to be born, how Skynet was created and how John survived Judgment Day and rose to become leader of humanity.
@@MegaJetty1 exactly. His dad being from the future where he already exist is the dumbest paradox to date, in a big movie anyway. They could say his original dad is Kyle's older much brother or uncle or even crazier, his own dad. But due to the time travel the new dad is the next generation. My head hurt just writing this.
@MegaJetty1 I know, but still a plausible conclusion. Hyperalloy has many connotations, and Kyle stated that was what the endoskeleton was composed of in the first film. Just putting in my $.02. 😆
@@josephclayton8702 I hear ya, it's all good. Much as I like Sarah Connor Chronicles and how it expanded some of the lore, it's still hard to take all of it as gospel for me. Still, it did try to expand whereas the movies after T2 barely did that.
They didn't have full records as most were destroyed in the apocalyptic events. He had to test how far along humans were at that point. _"Phased plasma rifle in the 30 watt range."_ _"We don't have 30s but, here's a 15."_ would have told him, too. It's also why he went and took out ALL Sarah Conners - because they didn't have specific records on her.
You forgot one important unanswered mystery: We all know only flesh covered metal or liquid metal mimicking human flesh can go through time. So then, how did the metal Terminator head travel through time with Sarah & John in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"?
This is just a theory on my end but I believe T2-3D Battle Across Time, may be the answer to that. While it was a theme park attraction that had to condense the plot, it showed the Terminator come out of a time portal fully clothed on a motorcycle with a shotgun. I believe with each trip back in time changing the past, Skynet in the future is learning and upgrading, so the Time-Displacement Equipment can eventually create a portal instead of instant teleportation and permit non-living stuff to go through. Again, just a theory.
Originally Skynet didn't launch the nukes - or if it did it took orders from the government to do it. Remember Kyle's line from the first movie "Nobody knew who started it." It became sentient in the aftermath and that's when it decided to wipe out humanity's remains. But because of T1 and the hardware left behind Skynet became sentient sooner, before the war. This also explains why the T-800 in T1 moved so relatively slow and clunky but in T2 it was more fluid because the T-800 advanced sooner too.
The biggest mystery is who built the factories and created the massive supply chain needed to create the robots? At the end of T3 there is no supply chain or factories rolling these out. None of the robots at the base in T3 are capable of doing this. Skynet is only software.
Here’s one. Why did the more advanced Terminator try to force Sarah to “Call to John”, when he was perfectly capable of imitating any human voice perfectly himself?
Because the T1000 was malfunctioning. There is a deleted scene where John was called by the T1000 impersonating Sarah and that was when John looked down and saw the legs were "glitched" with the floor.
Some people think that the T-1000 became self-aware and started to enjoy torturing its victims. Well, I don't believe so because it was just minutes ago when it killed the truck driver quickly and effectively.
@@SpielSatzFail The T2 novel points out that the T-1000 was ALREADY self-aware before it was even sent back in time. It was so advanced for a prototype that it was the one thing Skynet actually feared, but Skynet took a chance sending it back to kill young John. It would either complete it's mission or it would fail and Skynet can wash it's hands of it. It already had the free-will that the T-800 lacked for the first half of the movie before John and Sarah reset it's CPU, yet it still chose to carry out it's mission, so it's reasonable that it did learn to enjoy torture. Killing the truck driver was just the T-1000 learning what's like to be pissed off over it's target eluding it. The first T-800 could be argued to have been the same way in T1 when he told the guy "Get out" with that pissed off "Don't F with me" tone and face.
@@MegaJetty1 you're right, I remember having heard about the fear Skynet had about the T-1000! I wonder if this was already canon coming from Camerons mind when writing T2, or even earlier since he stated that he had the idea of a T-1000 for the first script but didn't have the technical possibilities (nor the money) to make it work.
I may be dumb and missed an obvious answer, but I always wondered why the T-1,000 was able to use the Time Machine. Skin May look real, but it’s a Liquid Metal. Shouldn’t the magnetic field cause a problem or blow up?
In T2, the T-1000 never once tried to make itself into a the T-800 despite making physical contact with him first in the Galleria fight.. seem like the T-1000 also made some odd attack choices fighting T-800 in T2..
John's father would have been the guy Sarah was supposed to go on the date with, but with everything set into place by the time travel event altered the timeline. Causing the guy to cancel his date with Sarah, thus giving Kyle the opportunity to Father John from there on.
thank you! i figured he cancelled his date with her because of the news stories of the other sarahs being killed and didn't want to put himself at risk.
Pretty sure this is meant as a pre destination paradox. Meaning there was never anyone else. It is not like there as a slot where John was waiting to fill. The whole ordeal turned John into a military general and without the trauma no one would ever learn specific means of dealing with autonomous machines that look him. Even then without John Skynet would not exist. It would have a different foundation layer for development, a diesel engine instead of a gasoline one. We would get nothing but AI bots selling us cat NFTs if it was not for John.
Well, back in the days when Terminator movies were not a dog crap I was hoping for a movie that would explain how Terminators function. You know, how they get made, programmed, how they get their skin, how they are able to go through a time machine without exploding themselves and stuff like that. Or like how they are able to talk and act like humans. How they are able to have their own voice and what happens to them when their skin gets old and whatnot. Everything in details. This would be actually a good movie to watch.
First off, they are created on an assembly line like most machines. Then, they're placed into a machine that produces and bonds the human like artificial skin to the endoskeleton ( which is why dogs can smell them and alert people to their presence). Also, their voices are part of their advanced technological makeup since they're automated by default. As far as going through the time displacement field of the machine, somehow the artificial skin can mimic the bio-electric levels given off by humans, it can travel through the time machine without trouble
@@josephclayton8702 And all of this would be better explained officially in some kind of a movie. All tho hollywood is more busy to produce fail after fail than trying to make something really cool and enjoyable.
@deathcold_longplaysua4846 they don't make money by making things make sense. They have to confuse and discombobulate those who don't know better and will spend money watching regurgitated crap
2 was my favorite. Saw it as a kid by myself in a theater inside the mall. Had they've waited until they had a thorough story differing plot it could have surpassed JD.
You really have to suspend reality completely and not even bother with explanations because the more you question it, the more ridiculous it seems. Take for instance the whole time travel thing. You cannot bring a gun, but the terminatrix was a machine that was a living weapon. Also, the next question is why the 80s? Why not go after the very first recorded Connor family and they never explained how Skynet knew John Connor was its sole problem. Stuff like that.
And how far back would Skynet have to send this Terminator to kill the first recorded Connor? And what would stop another person from taking the name further down the line after the Terminator stopped functioning? Or maybe there was a survivor that the history books didn't record and they moved away and started fresh in another city. Skynet went for the most direct version of events: kill the mother before he was ever born, or kill mother and child if he was already born.
Before any time loops then there would have been a different father for John Connor. The way he's been raised in the later movies is completely different from what Kyle suggests. However, every single time jump changes timelines, resulting in different events happening - and in Sarah Connor Chronicles they even reference these timelines where Derek Reese has encountered a completely different timeline to his love interest.
@@roadwarrior1459 there had to be one original timeline without any temporal meddling where John Connors father was NOT Kyle Reese. It may even have been Sarah's scheduled date who cancelled on her. (We don't know why he cancelled the date, after all)
@@roadwarrior1459No matter what there had to have been one timeline without any time travel where John Connor had been born to a different father. The time loop of Skynet sending terminators back to kill him could NOT have started without it. No John Connor, no need to send Terminators back to kill him. Of course, the Terminator franchise now has so many different timelines that it's crazy - you can assume at least 2 new timelines for every single temporal jump (one where the mission succeeded and one where it failed)
I'm sure dogs can smell the metals and alloys of Terminators rather than the normal human pheromones. Even with the skin, I'm sure the underlying metal frame is still pungent to them. Add to that that they move around unlike other metal smelling objects and I'm sure it would be obvious to a dog.
The thing about dogs was either explained in the original terminator or in a reissue expanded edition, but it was all done in a voiceover, saying that dogs could actually smell the difference between a human and a terminator covered in human like skin
The real reason is because all the skin used to coat the Terminators is made of thousands and thousands of peoples’. Like a pot of soup but of human material. So of course dogs can sniff out an atrocity as that.
I always thought if the mechanical stuff being heard didnt freak em out maybe the smells of the synflesh and blood werent exact ( i believe later on they started growing skin harvested from prisoners. Or both before the real flesh and after maybe there is a stench given off by the power source heating the fluid. Heating the flesh. Poisoning it. Making woerd smell. Something like that
The biggest mystery remains who John Conner's first father is. It couldn't possibly be Kyle Reese. The first John Conner was born before the first Kyle Reese was born.
Kyle traveled back in time before he was born and did John's mom. It was a stable time-loop/predestination paradox. What part of that is unclear and why do I keep seeing comments like this?
Biggest mystery: Why they never went back to the sci-fi tech noir horror origins. There's been 6 movies, 5 action flicks, and 1 horror flick. All the action flicks flopped except T2, maybe a serious horror thriller Terminator movie would be a hit.
If skynet invented the time travel machine, why didn't they realise john conner could have only been born because of it and not invent it or destroy it?
The Terminator series is a prime example of how they could take an amazing story and turn into a sad fucking joke. Predator is another,more atrocious example, but at least Arnold quit contributing to that mess.
A cyborg is a human with robotic parts not a robot wearing a skin suit, look it was the 80's I get it they didn't do research back then, it's how we end up with a movie called RoboCop when the guy is literally a cyborg but I guess CyborgCop doesn't sound as cool, not to mention that whole parsecs in Star Wars.
I dont know if it wasnt doing research as cameron is usually ocd about details. And wouldnt it be called a android instead of a robot as its in a human form? Or maybe not as when people think of android they think of for example David instead of a walking chrome skeleton from hell with eyes that burn down to your soul and very white teeth smiling as they punch through your chest and pull out your heart, lol.
They explained the parsecs in Star Wars, where have you been? They also didn't understand infrared back then. Reese said they fought at night because the machines couldn't see well with infrared. THe reality is they would have seen better than humans at night. smh. Fighting skynet during the day would have been the best.
Where is cpu in the mimic poly alloy? If there was no Kyle in the past how could there ever be a john Conner in the future to send him back? Still some holes.
They are actually made of a certin type of steel that only a .50 cal bullet from a barret sniper rifle can penetrate and idk wtf thats metal is called.
Ηopefully, Skynet will send an Arnold into the past, our present that is, and.. Terminate the franchise, since it has become too horrible. Oh, wait. It already has!
The most logical way to achieve this would be to encase the T-1000, T-X and all other infiltrator units with human flesh -something that Skynet obviously is capable of manufacturing. Once the time trip is completed, the unit would shed said flesh and proceed with the mission. "Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go." -Kyle Reese
I loved Genisys, I don't care whay anyone says. It was a perfect way to fix everything after the train wreck of #3. I still wantto.know who sent back Pops!
Unfortunately, the dog thing was already told in terminator as a voiceover by Sarah Connor, and that was either in one of the expanded additions or the original
I mystery that I was always curious about was if Skynet had succeeded in annihilating humanity after Judgement Day what was it's next logical step? I mean with no enemy to fight what would it have done?
I still don't get where the terminators came at first? There was no factories making any kind of humanoid robots, so where did those come? Industrial robots can manufacture very limited variations, so those machines had to made by humans. Most advanced models in Terminator 3 are somekind of cheapo versions of Daleks.
My theory about Kyle always being John's dad is that were never actually see the original future and all the ones we do see are the result of time travel. My idea is that there was a future where John didn't exist. That future's Kyle got sent back in time for some other reason then eventually met Sarah. They fell in love, conceived John and created the first timeline where John was leader of the Resistance (Not necessarily the one T1 Kyle came from though it could be.)
The story of the Terminator-franchise, before it got butchered by Terminator Dark Fate was a stable time loop. There was no "original timeline", it always was the one presented in The Terminator and Terminator Judgement Day as the two movies which are the most consistent in this movie series. You missed that Kyle Reese told the story of John Connor to young Sarah Connor. If he would come from an alternate timeline, he could not have known about John Connor.
@@michaelstaengl1349 The future is changeable without overwriting what came before. We know that because Sarah and John were still concerned that Judgment Day might occur in 97 after T2. If the Kyle Sarah knew came from the new future they wouldn't have been expecting Judgment Day until 2003. IMO the way that makes the most sense is a Terminator multiverse with the attempts to change the past and the future creating new timelines without destroying the older ones. And again we don't know that the first timeline we saw was the original timeline or if it was the result of a timeline split.
@@cykesrevenge He gets sent back in time for a reason that has nothing to do with Sarah. May he accomplishes his objective and survives maybe its a long term deal like Derek's assigned mission in Sarah Connor Chronicles. He meets Sarah, they fall in love, and give birth to John who sends Kyle back in time once Skynet tries to assassinate Sarah in the past. Nothing in the idea requires him to have a picture or know what she looks like before meeting her.
@@cykesrevenge The resistance defeats Skynet, Skynet sents a Terminator back to 1984, John sents Kyle, Kyle travels back in time, falls in love with Sarah, he fathers John, about eight months later, a pregnant Sarah leaves the USA, a kid takes the photo. At a day in the future, Sarah gives the photo to John, Jophn gives the photo to Kyle, at a moment, Kyle losses the photo to F.-Columbu-T800, a bit later the resistance defeats Skynet, Skynet sents a Terminator back to 1984. John Connor is the result of a stable time loop, there's no need for a hypotetical "original John".
This was a weird video. Telling us plot points of the movies known by everyone that’s watched them has nothing to do with unsolved mysteries of the franchise 🤨
Also, if it's just software then it wouldn't be measured in that way, that's a hardware measurement. Strange choice for a movie that has the main twist at the end be that there was no hardware, no mainframe.
They aren’t all made of that mometic polly alloy or however you spell it so that is incorrect if you did your research you’d know the endo’s have a coltan endoskeleton not that made up material sorry if I misspelled it
I have a question the first time ever the Kyle Reese was sent back. I don’t think anyone knew he was the dad because at some point Kyle Reese is from the future John Connor was born before all that Mayham so John Connor had to have had an original father probably a deadbeat dad before Kyle Reese? Because the first time travel attempts if Kyle Reese is from the future, how was John Connor even ever born? It had to have been someone else before Kyle Reese?
Personally, I think time travelling in the past is impossible. But travelling in an alternative past is possible. So that can mean that the first John Connor might not have been related to Kyle Reese, It was simply because Sarah had a one night stand and assumed that it was meant to be that way and named her son John and trained him to believe the same.
None of these are really mysteries guys Also, in the original script, they wanted O.J. Simpson to play the terminator because it was supposed to be an unassuming every day man looking person to make it easier to infiltrate then they went with intimidation factor with Arnold Schwarzenegger
While I do love your channel? Yeah.....none of these were really mysteries within the franchise. You want something to explore? 1. Who reprogrammed "Pops" in Terminator Genesis? How far in the timeline is Pops originally from? 2. Where did Skynet (the T-5000?) Come from? Why did it not terminate John Conner sooner? We all saw it was waltzing around within his ranks the whole time. It could have ended him or assimilated him at any time. Why wait until he defeated that version of Skynet? 3. Pops helped build Cyberdyne System facility. How the hell was he not aware of the core sitting below the complex? 4 Why the heck did Genesis (or however they spelled it) have so many obvious plot holes that were large enough for an HK Tank to rumble through? 5. What was Dark Fate's excuse? There's some real mystery for ya.
And before anyone points it out? The T-5000, or Skynet, is obviously far more advanced than the T-3000, or John Connor, was. Pops mentioned that Skynet was experimenting with the Phase Matter technology so some time must have been needed to perfect the technology.
A-a-and, let's see if the current pro-AI faction had enough brains to pay attention in class, so they'd do all they could to keep AI from going into Skynet mode.
Wait! Wait! LMAO what the hell do you mean "...it's like a real life chameleon"??? 🤣 Instead of just imaginary chameleons, which is apparently all we've ever had here in real life lol I mean they'd damn sure need to be imaginary if chameleons can do the all that the liquid metal terminators could Rather than just camouflaging themselves to match the colors of there surroundings lol The rest of the video was good. Lol
@shadowgb Kyle is a soldier, not a scientist. He has no idea how time travel works. Realistically, predestination is the only way it should work when traveling back in time, lest a grandfather paradox be created. The only other option would be traveling sideways in time (i.e. moving to parallel timelines, something Genisys confirmed was a thing.) But the first movie was always predestination.
Hard to say, the continuity is all over the place. The original stated that Skynet had a central core located at Cheyenne Mountain, it's likely self contained and unaffected after the bombs dropped. While in 3 Skynet was software spread out across the internet.
Actually Kyle Reese is NOT John Conners original father. That’s not possible. John had a completely different biological father in the original timeline. Also in regards to that John actually got most of not all his great qualities from his mother. The father didn’t matter. However the new John with Kyles DNA may have become better than Johns original biological father
I think John's original father was Sarah's roommate's boyfriend. The actor who played Slider in Top Gun also played the boyfriend but I can't remember his name. He survived against the Terminator longer than anyone not a main character. There isn't a lot of background on that guy but he was strong, healthy, and resilient. Plus, he was the only man in her life for John's birthday to be close. Another possibility is the first Terminator movie isn't the first timeline. Maybe a Terminator already went back and killed John's original father because there were better records of him for Skynet to hunt him with. Only it didn't change the future enough so they had to go back for Sarah, since she was the more important person.
@@asimpson164Sarah was dating a guy with a Porsche. He is most likely the father. It also means that John was already conceived, and he is not altered in any way.
You all here surely don't understand the concept of a stable time loop which has two or three key-years. A stable time loop is what we see in the movie The Terminator. 1st = The Resistance wins the war. 2nd = Skynet sent a Terminator back to 1984 to remove Sarah Connor from the timeline thus securing his victory. 3rd = The Resistance in the future sents Kyle Reese back to 1984 to protect Sarah. 4th = Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor fall in love and make John Connor. 5th = The Terminator fails to kill Sarah and becomes the template for the development of Skynet. 6th = The way into the future is secured. Skynet is being developed and John Connor was born 9 months after the events of Terminator 1. 7th = Skynet wipes out most of humanity. 8th = The resistance forms. 9th = John Connor becomes the leader, he knows many things about Terminators. 10th = The Resistance wins the war. 11th = Skynet sent a Terminator back to 1984 to remove Sarah Co..... and so on. It's that simple but unfortunately many too used to think in a linear way. The Terminator and Terminator Judgement Day were the only two movies which are consistent in their depiction of this stable time loop. All other movies played around with the timeline and messed it up by creating the waves of alternate reality timelines until Terminator Dark Fate butchered even the last remainder of the original stable time loop which was ignored by all other Terminator movie producers.
@@michaelstaengl1349 I do like that idea. However, time is linear even if perception of time isn't. For a stable time loop the has to be a terminal point of the instant before the loop begins, the last fixed point prior to the loop. That point would have to be the second just before, or possibly even earlier, the first Terminator's time vortex starts affecting the area around it. At that very moment Sarah Connors isn't pregnant. So in the original prime timeline how does Sarah Connors become pregnant? We know John exists in the future in the prime timeline because he wins the war which lead Skynet to send back a Terminator. Kyle Reese was not alive in the prime timeline to get Sarah pregnant but we know someone has to around the same time. The second timeline and seemingly all further timelines has Kyle Reese as John's father. Someone had to be John's father for John to be born and win the war because the machines wouldn't have created a time machine and Kyle Reese would never have been sent back. I'm sure you know all of this already but I wanted to lay out my thought process for errors I can't/won't/didn't see. Now, if we are mistaken about the original timeline because Kyle Reese gives us bad information then it could all be different. It could be possible in prime minus 1 timeline there was not a John Connor, and Kyle Reese found a way to go back in time after the humans lost. He goes to 1984 meets Sarah (randomly) and they have a family where he teaches them about what happens in the future, thus creating a great general who has the knowledge and ability to win the war for humans. If this happened it would be in favor of your stable closed time loop.
First of all the T-800 is not a true cyborg because it can survive without the organic parts. True cyborgs would be Robo-Cop , and The Borg. The way I make sense of this series is that Skynet needs certain events to happen. Ie it needs future John to send Kyle back to stop the T-800. But I think Skynet puts a flaw deep in the T-800’s program assuring it will not succeed which leads to its own creation. The T-1000 was there to make sure John stays with his Mom and has proper motivation. The X was sent back to get the timeline back on track and make sure that john and others would be in the right place after judgement day. The problem is it leads to a time loop that Skynet cannot break. The crappy movie that is Genasary was Skynet’s attempt at breaking that loop but that lead to more problems.
I remember reading that cameron said skynet deeply regretted its knee jerk reaction of nuking and killing humans, that it was akin to a infant having a reflex it didnt know better or the full effect of its actions. That skynet had guilt and wanted to but couldnt self terminate and so its plan was to kill itself was via john connor and that the time travel was its way of carrying out that plan. Its interestering but i grew up in the late 80s to 90s and prefer my skynet a hateful crazy genius ai. 😂 and i wouldnt have minded dark fate except for the killing of both john and skynet, i think gabriel lunez did a good job i just didnt like the endo design with its 3d printer design n skooped out cranium, and poor sarah...
Why do people not like Genesys it was one of the better newer movies. Now Salvation sucked and underwhelmed even with Christian Bale although Common did his thing.
@@joshfacio9379 The idea about Skynet is interesting but like you I grew up in the 80’s and find the evil version more compelling. My problem with Dark Fate is with Sarah being in it as a old lady. She shouldn’t have been in it as the hardened warrior because John was killed as a teenager so he never sent Kyle back thus no Skynet. So no Skynet no T-800. Sarah’s life would have stayed the same, so no old warrior Sarah and no Robot playing house.
@@joshfacio9379Makes sense. After all Skynet could push the button anytime. Why not hang around people and try to figure things out without burning all bridges.
You didn’t touch on the paradox of Kyle being John’s father. If Kyle is John’s father, how could John have existed in the first terminator movie, to send Kyle back during the war???……….
That's the nature of a stable time loop which depends on itself and creates itself. All historic events pre 1984 ➡In 1984 the T800 and Kyle Reese arrives, both battles over Sarah Connor, Reese fathers John, the Terminator gets destroyed ➡ Sarah Connor becomes the women which is the legend to the humans of the future. ➡ Thanks to the surviving parts of the T800 Skynet could be developed. ➡ Skynet destroys much of humanity ➡ The resistance wins the war, Skynet sents the T800 back to 1984, the Resistance under adult John sents Kyle Reese into the past ➡In 1984 the T800 and Kyle Reese arrives, both battles over Sarah Connor, Reese fathers John. ... ➡ In the future after the defeat of Skynet history continues normally. It's that simple, no need to overthink it. There's no "original John", John always was meant to be the son of Kyle Reese due to this stable time loop.
Terminator May've Dipped In Quality ( Like Most film franchises) but I'll take It over most Blockbuster film properties today...
I was hoping this video was going to delve into actual Terminator mysteries, like WTF was the purpose of the hydrobots in T4? Did Skynet really believe building these things was an efficient way to kill humans, or could those resources have been better put to use building land based machines to kill people where most humans actually live? Instead, we just got a re-cap.
Uh, humans need water. Many survivors would get it from a source like a river and boil the water. Hydrobots could kill humans there sneakily and also travel along sewage pipes and other underground water filled tunnels easily...which as we see in the first movie, much of humanity retreated to. Imagine the city of Venice with hydrobots. It's really not that weird. Also your suggestion to build land based machines is kind of eh. They should focus on building aerial machines because the human race is not going to be building more helicopters and planes, thus aerials would have an advantage even as just recon. The land based would just root them out.
Or like what happened with Manzro Scabada, after he flew off on the back of the flying robot
@@Radb707 they show in the opening of T2 that the skynet aircrafts are easier for humans to destroy so id assume thats why they focus on land based machines instead but I still dont think the hydrobots were very practical when skynet can create basically anything like the T1000 which would be infinitely better at infiltrating via pipes and sewers than the weird worm machines we saw
@@Radb707Terminator, do you use brute force to kill humans?
"No, i kill them *sneakily* "
Look at crocodiles and their ability to kill land based animals that come to the water to drink or swim. Same idea.
Ironically, Skynet created John Connor. If it weren't for Skynet, Connor wouldn't exist
Yeah, and Connor is fated to win and send back Reese to complete the cycle. What comes afterwards is something interesting that no one has explored. What happens after they are free of the predestination paradox? Fate would truly be what they make it.
Not really. Skynet made the time machine for something, before all time travels. Or maybe, the first time machine was created by another ''thing'' and in that new timeline the first skynet was created.
In the comic books they say Kyle Reese wasn't really John's father. Sara Conner was dating someone and already pregnant before she met Kyle. Sara just tells John Kyle is his father so no one well know who is real dad is.
@@haymaker710 John Connor's real father is James Cameron.
@@Ninja-Hayate You are correct
I thought this was going to ask the questions about the stuff that showed in the last few movies like "who sent the terminator to save a young Sarah conner" or "why that female in Dark Fate had coordinates tattoo'd on her side that led to "Carl" the terminator". I didnt care to know any of these question in the video.
Everyone already knows this shit 🤣😂 Where are the 10 Unsolved Mysteries??
+1
They are hiding
I was hoping we would see what happened to the T-800s arm that got stuck in the gears and chain in T2. They threw in the chip and arm from the first one. We never saw them throw that in too and considering that once the machine started rolling again after this T-800 broke it off, they might not have been able to find it too easily before the emergency services (eventually) turn up to the steel mill. After all, that one guy did sound the alarm to clear the building so someone outside of there must have been alerted by that 🤔
Damn good point
That would require more research and work than necessary to get pretty much the same number of clicks.
without the chip the arm is just an arm
totally agree with @corpuschristi6149 just a mechanic arm has no significance in developing AI
Never thought of this thanks

Gotta love how quick these guys get churned out.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is probably better than the rest of the film sequels after T2, cheesy at times but a lot of more insight into Skynet and various terminators not always fighting but conducting more sophisticated plotting and investigating. We got two seasons at-least, highly recommended.
I still prefer the sequils to dark fate. Dark fate was a dumpster fire
@@demon56345 It was and a slap to the face with what they did to John Connor, even Furlong was surprised they stooped that low.
There's apparently a Terminator anime in the works these past years with Netflix and the creators of Ghost in the Shell. Pretty excited about this one, a lot more opportunities to really explore the Skynet and human resistance developments over a much more broad timeline.
wrong.
@@demon56345 dark fate wasdn't that bad , biased
@@daegnaxqelil2733 The first few minutes were a plot hole field of epic levels and later parts add more plot-holes
1A: Since sending the T-1000 was literally SKYNET's final act in the original T2 timeline how was Carl sent back? If Carl was sent before the T-1000 the Resistance would have picked up the energy pulse from the Time Displacement Equipment which is how they knew that SKYNET had sent two Terminators back.
1B: Why didn't the Resistance send a protector for John or at the very least have Uncle Bob warn Sarah and John that there were more Terminators out there?
2: How the hell did Terminators sent by SKYNET keep arriving after the timelines had diverged? Once the events of T2 took place any Terminators sent back by SKYNET should only arrive in timeline branches where SKYNET is created specifically whatever branch they are sent back from.
3: How did Carl find John? Remember the reason the T1 T-800 and the T-1000 were sent to the locations and points in time they were sent to is because that was when SKYNET knew roughly where Sarah or John was. Even if SKYNET had some idea where John was a few months after Judgment Day there is no reason to believe he and Sarah would be in the same area in the new timeline.
Not a plothole but why would a franchise which has always included moth human females and human males in its protagonist teams suddenly decide three women and a robot is a good team makeup? Even if they absolutely needed to kill John, and IMO they could have had him injured and thus unable to fight in the field letting Dani lead while he joins Sarah in the teacher and advisor role instead, they could and IMO should have had at least one human male on the main team. Give Dani a second brother, have one of the group they crossed the border with join them, or even have Sarah's military contact join the team. There were lots of ways to do this and have it make sense and kept with the men and women fighting side by side theme of the franchise.
Man, Terminator and T2 were such flawless movies. I'm so glad they stopped there, and didn't make any more sequels.
When it comes to dogs, I think it's not just the servos but the lack of emotions from terminator models, which explains why Carl's dog was completely clam with Carl.
I want to know how Arnold in the first Terminator just disappeared after he crashed the police car in the first Terminator in the parking garage where he just vanished and no one saw him get up and leave? It makes no sense to me. A massive body builder like Arnold with an endoskeleton underneath just vanishes like that?
I seem to vaguely remember a quick scene - possibly deleted scene - where a manhole cover behind the car slowly closed, suggesting he snuck into the sewers.
Could be thinking of a different movie, though. 🤔
@NarwahlGaming yeah that was a deleted scene. I remember the terminator went down into the sewer and stumbled upon the Turtles lair. They kicked his ass so badly that James Cameron thought it would be a bad idea to release that footage in the movie. You can only find it on the German blue ray version.

Dogs bark at Terminators for the same reason they bark at those yapping puppy toys which do backflips. It freaks them out to see something alive when they can tell it is not a living thing.
Terminators have ultra sounds that humans can't hear either from their nuclear power source or ultraband short range microwave radios & other wireless networks they use to communicate between all Skynet assets. It drives the dogs insane. Why dogs hate thunderstorms as it does actually hurt them psychologically, for Terminators, turn that up to 11.
Its because they have no soul.
@@imeverywhereandnowhere56 - Then why do not dogs bark at Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris?
My biggest issue with the Terminator movies is, how does Skynet make them if it nuked the planet? All the power plants, gone. All the manufacturing facilities, gone. Sounds like a death sentence for Skynet.
I have been saying this for years. Who built the factories and created the massive supply chain needed to create the robots? At the end of T3 there is no supply chain or factories rolling these out. None of the robots at the base in T3 are capable of doing this. Skynet is only software.
3:31 - According to actual nuclear scientists the nuclear detonation in T2 was one of the by far most accurate in the history of cinema. James Cameron and the leading exec in the special effects department were proud and freightened at the same time to hear that acknowledgement by these actual scientists.
The T-1000 is limited by mass not weight. They are different things. That means it can adjust it's aize by adjusting the density of it's body.
I noticed that too.
I wonder if the T-5000 and T-3000 nano machines could implement something similar...
@@GTA2SWcity I think it is likely. It is almost a necessity for a shape shifter.
We need a movie of the first timeline
More like a TV series. Starting with how the events of 1984 (T1) and 1995 (T2) played out without time travel messing with history and tell a logical way for John to be born, how Skynet was created and how John survived Judgment Day and rose to become leader of humanity.
@@MegaJetty1 exactly. His dad being from the future where he already exist is the dumbest paradox to date, in a big movie anyway. They could say his original dad is Kyle's older much brother or uncle or even crazier, his own dad. But due to the time travel the new dad is the next generation. My head hurt just writing this.

The T-1000 is made of Mimetic Poly-alloy. The T-800 endoskeleton is made of Hyper-alloy.

@@josephclayton8702 That was Sarah Connor Chronicles, my info comes from the O.G. films and their novels.

@@josephclayton8702 I hear ya, it's all good. Much as I like Sarah Connor Chronicles and how it expanded some of the lore, it's still hard to take all of it as gospel for me. Still, it did try to expand whereas the movies after T2 barely did that.
@@MegaJetty1 they went way beyond left field after T2. WAY BEYOND!!! 😆
In the first movie, why did the T-800 ask for a plasma rifle in 1984? It had to able to compute they didn't exist yet.
They didn't have full records as most were destroyed in the apocalyptic events.
He had to test how far along humans were at that point.
_"Phased plasma rifle in the 30 watt range."_
_"We don't have 30s but, here's a 15."_ would have told him, too.
It's also why he went and took out ALL Sarah Conners - because they didn't have specific records on her.
You forgot one important unanswered mystery: We all know only flesh covered metal or liquid metal mimicking human flesh can go through time. So then, how did the metal Terminator head travel through time with Sarah & John in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"?
This is just a theory on my end but I believe T2-3D Battle Across Time, may be the answer to that. While it was a theme park attraction that had to condense the plot, it showed the Terminator come out of a time portal fully clothed on a motorcycle with a shotgun. I believe with each trip back in time changing the past, Skynet in the future is learning and upgrading, so the Time-Displacement Equipment can eventually create a portal instead of instant teleportation and permit non-living stuff to go through. Again, just a theory.
8 things that anyone with more than 8 brain cells already knew about the Terminator franchise
“8 Unanswered Questions about the Teminator Franchise that either everyone knows, never asked, or nobody cares about.”
Truly 5-Star content. 🍆
Originally Skynet didn't launch the nukes - or if it did it took orders from the government to do it. Remember Kyle's line from the first movie "Nobody knew who started it." It became sentient in the aftermath and that's when it decided to wipe out humanity's remains.
But because of T1 and the hardware left behind Skynet became sentient sooner, before the war. This also explains why the T-800 in T1 moved so relatively slow and clunky but in T2 it was more fluid because the T-800 advanced sooner too.
Same model,,
Nobody knew, but it was skynet.
The biggest mystery is who built the factories and created the massive supply chain needed to create the robots? At the end of T3 there is no supply chain or factories rolling these out. None of the robots at the base in T3 are capable of doing this. Skynet is only software.
Here’s one. Why did the more advanced Terminator try to force Sarah to “Call to John”, when he was perfectly capable of imitating any human voice perfectly himself?
Because the T1000 was malfunctioning. There is a deleted scene where John was called by the T1000 impersonating Sarah and that was when John looked down and saw the legs were "glitched" with the floor.
Some people think that the T-1000 became self-aware and started to enjoy torturing its victims. Well, I don't believe so because it was just minutes ago when it killed the truck driver quickly and effectively.
@@SpielSatzFail The T2 novel points out that the T-1000 was ALREADY self-aware before it was even sent back in time. It was so advanced for a prototype that it was the one thing Skynet actually feared, but Skynet took a chance sending it back to kill young John. It would either complete it's mission or it would fail and Skynet can wash it's hands of it. It already had the free-will that the T-800 lacked for the first half of the movie before John and Sarah reset it's CPU, yet it still chose to carry out it's mission, so it's reasonable that it did learn to enjoy torture. Killing the truck driver was just the T-1000 learning what's like to be pissed off over it's target eluding it. The first T-800 could be argued to have been the same way in T1 when he told the guy "Get out" with that pissed off "Don't F with me" tone and face.
@@MegaJetty1 you're right, I remember having heard about the fear Skynet had about the T-1000! I wonder if this was already canon coming from Camerons mind when writing T2, or even earlier since he stated that he had the idea of a T-1000 for the first script but didn't have the technical possibilities (nor the money) to make it work.
Terminators give off a chemical scent...
In Mortal Kombat 11. The Terminator said dogs can smell the chemicals underneath the skin...
These don't seem like mysteries... just things that happened.
I would think that a terminator not having a heartbeat would also be a giveaway to dogs.
I may be dumb and missed an obvious answer, but I always wondered why the T-1,000 was able to use the Time Machine. Skin May look real, but it’s a Liquid Metal. Shouldn’t the magnetic field cause a problem or blow up?
Theories are that either it has the power to keep itself functional in the TDE or it travels in a flesh cocoon.
It mimics flesh too. There's a small part that is organic. At least that's what I think in my head canon.
In T2, the T-1000 never once tried to make itself into a the T-800 despite making physical contact with him first in the Galleria fight.. seem like the T-1000 also made some odd attack choices fighting T-800 in T2..
Always wondered who actually built the terminators in the first place and please bear in mind skynet is a computer program.
John's father would have been the guy Sarah was supposed to go on the date with, but with everything set into place by the time travel event altered the timeline. Causing the guy to cancel his date with Sarah, thus giving Kyle the opportunity to Father John from there on.
thank you! i figured he cancelled his date with her because of the news stories of the other sarahs being killed and didn't want to put himself at risk.
Pretty sure this is meant as a pre destination paradox. Meaning there was never anyone else. It is not like there as a slot where John was waiting to fill. The whole ordeal turned John into a military general and without the trauma no one would ever learn specific means of dealing with autonomous machines that look him.
Even then without John Skynet would not exist. It would have a different foundation layer for development, a diesel engine instead of a gasoline one. We would get nothing but AI bots selling us cat NFTs if it was not for John.
Well, back in the days when Terminator movies were not a dog crap I was hoping for a movie that would explain how Terminators function. You know, how they get made, programmed, how they get their skin, how they are able to go through a time machine without exploding themselves and stuff like that. Or like how they are able to talk and act like humans. How they are able to have their own voice and what happens to them when their skin gets old and whatnot. Everything in details. This would be actually a good movie to watch.
First off, they are created on an assembly line like most machines. Then, they're placed into a machine that produces and bonds the human like artificial skin to the endoskeleton ( which is why dogs can smell them and alert people to their presence). Also, their voices are part of their advanced technological makeup since they're automated by default. As far as going through the time displacement field of the machine, somehow the artificial skin can mimic the bio-electric levels given off by humans, it can travel through the time machine without trouble
@@josephclayton8702 And all of this would be better explained officially in some kind of a movie. All tho hollywood is more busy to produce fail after fail than trying to make something really cool and enjoyable.
@deathcold_longplaysua4846 they don't make money by making things make sense. They have to confuse and discombobulate those who don't know better and will spend money watching regurgitated crap
Theres only one Lore mystery regarding The Terminator Series. 1: They made a movie after 2!
2 was my favorite. Saw it as a kid by myself in a theater inside the mall. Had they've waited until they had a thorough story differing plot it could have surpassed JD.
You really have to suspend reality completely and not even bother with explanations because the more you question it, the more ridiculous it seems. Take for instance the whole time travel thing. You cannot bring a gun, but the terminatrix was a machine that was a living weapon. Also, the next question is why the 80s? Why not go after the very first recorded Connor family and they never explained how Skynet knew John Connor was its sole problem. Stuff like that.
I imagine they knew connor was a problem if they interrogated captive humans or traitors.
And how far back would Skynet have to send this Terminator to kill the first recorded Connor? And what would stop another person from taking the name further down the line after the Terminator stopped functioning? Or maybe there was a survivor that the history books didn't record and they moved away and started fresh in another city. Skynet went for the most direct version of events: kill the mother before he was ever born, or kill mother and child if he was already born.
These aren't unsolved mysteries. The title should have been: "The Terminator Series for Dummies".
How about asking why Terminator-Karl needs a bed an house to sleep in, after he completed his mission to kill John?
Before any time loops then there would have been a different father for John Connor. The way he's been raised in the later movies is completely different from what Kyle suggests. However, every single time jump changes timelines, resulting in different events happening - and in Sarah Connor Chronicles they even reference these timelines where Derek Reese has encountered a completely different timeline to his love interest.
Kyle was always the father. That’s why John gave him the photo.
@@roadwarrior1459 there had to be one original timeline without any temporal meddling where John Connors father was NOT Kyle Reese. It may even have been Sarah's scheduled date who cancelled on her. (We don't know why he cancelled the date, after all)
@@gunbladelad7772 no it was a time loop. It was always Kyle. Cameron has stated this multiple times
@@roadwarrior1459No matter what there had to have been one timeline without any time travel where John Connor had been born to a different father. The time loop of Skynet sending terminators back to kill him could NOT have started without it. No John Connor, no need to send Terminators back to kill him.
Of course, the Terminator franchise now has so many different timelines that it's crazy - you can assume at least 2 new timelines for every single temporal jump (one where the mission succeeded and one where it failed)
@@gunbladelad7772 the photo of Sarah shows you are 100% wrong.
Here's a fun thing: they called it a 'Hyper Alloy' for the T800s but that was a mention of a meta material before the name was coined.
I'm sure dogs can smell the metals and alloys of Terminators rather than the normal human pheromones. Even with the skin, I'm sure the underlying metal frame is still pungent to them. Add to that that they move around unlike other metal smelling objects and I'm sure it would be obvious to a dog.
Dogs also have incredible hearing and im sure the exoskeleton underneath the flesh and blood makes some sound that they can tell its not a "friendly".
The thing about dogs was either explained in the original terminator or in a reissue expanded edition, but it was all done in a voiceover, saying that dogs could actually smell the difference between a human and a terminator covered in human like skin
The real reason is because all the skin used to coat the Terminators is made of thousands and thousands of peoples’. Like a pot of soup but of human material. So of course dogs can sniff out an atrocity as that.
I always thought if the mechanical stuff being heard didnt freak em out maybe the smells of the synflesh and blood werent exact ( i believe later on they started growing skin harvested from prisoners. Or both before the real flesh and after maybe there is a stench given off by the power source heating the fluid. Heating the flesh. Poisoning it. Making woerd smell. Something like that
The biggest mystery remains who John Conner's first father is. It couldn't possibly be Kyle Reese. The first John Conner was born before the first Kyle Reese was born.
Kyle traveled back in time before he was born and did John's mom. It was a stable time-loop/predestination paradox. What part of that is unclear and why do I keep seeing comments like this?
So 8 not 10 and you didn't say anything we didn't already know.

I always wondered how they were able to send the machines back
I have a question, would the joker be a greater threat to skynet than john connor?
Skynet: Anyway i started blastin
You should change the title to "11 Minutes of Terminator Facts Every Fan Knows"
Biggest mystery:
Why they never went back to the sci-fi tech noir horror origins. There's been 6 movies, 5 action flicks, and 1 horror flick. All the action flicks flopped except T2, maybe a serious horror thriller Terminator movie would be a hit.
I would guess that dogs can both smell something "off" about Terminators and can probably hear their inner machinery
T-1000 can mimic similar size and mass. Weight is a different measurement.
If skynet invented the time travel machine, why didn't they realise john conner could have only been born because of it and not invent it or destroy it?
OK so here's the kicker....
The Terminator series is a prime example of how they could take an amazing story and turn into a sad fucking joke. Predator is another,more atrocious example, but at least Arnold quit contributing to that mess.
I do love the Terminator franchise I do
I don’t really believe there was love between Reese and Sarah. Just fear induced ugly bumping.
A cyborg is a human with robotic parts not a robot wearing a skin suit, look it was the 80's I get it they didn't do research back then, it's how we end up with a movie called RoboCop when the guy is literally a cyborg but I guess CyborgCop doesn't sound as cool, not to mention that whole parsecs in Star Wars.
I dont know if it wasnt doing research as cameron is usually ocd about details. And wouldnt it be called a android instead of a robot as its in a human form? Or maybe not as when people think of android they think of for example David instead of a walking chrome skeleton from hell with eyes that burn down to your soul and very white teeth smiling as they punch through your chest and pull out your heart, lol.

THe reality is they would have seen better than humans at night. smh. Fighting skynet during the day would have been the best.
Where is cpu in the mimic poly alloy? If there was no Kyle in the past how could there ever be a john Conner in the future to send him back? Still some holes.

How did the t1000 go back in time? It’s Liquid Metal?
Exactamundo
The most logical way to achieve this would be to encase the T-1000, T-X and all other infiltrator units with human flesh -something that Skynet obviously is capable of manufacturing. Once the time trip is completed, the unit would shed said flesh and proceed with the mission. "Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go." -Kyle Reese

When you realize if skynet had just killed Kyle they would have won:
Why do they use dogs in the future to ID terminators, when they could just place a bathroom scale at each base entry?
I still have a theory sarah was pregnant early days just before she met kyle reese
Unfortunately, the dog thing was already told in terminator as a voiceover by Sarah Connor, and that was either in one of the expanded additions or the original
Has to be surrounded by organic flesh when time travelling….they should have grown a huge pumpkin and just hid in there. Sorted.
I mystery that I was always curious about was if Skynet had succeeded in annihilating humanity after Judgement Day what was it's next logical step? I mean with no enemy to fight what would it have done?
Robot orgies and cocaino
I still don't get where the terminators came at first? There was no factories making any kind of humanoid robots, so where did those come? Industrial robots can manufacture very limited variations, so those machines had to made by humans. Most advanced models in Terminator 3 are somekind of cheapo versions of Daleks.
Awesome
“Here’s the kicker”
My theory about Kyle always being John's dad is that were never actually see the original future and all the ones we do see are the result of time travel. My idea is that there was a future where John didn't exist. That future's Kyle got sent back in time for some other reason then eventually met Sarah. They fell in love, conceived John and created the first timeline where John was leader of the Resistance (Not necessarily the one T1 Kyle came from though it could be.)
The story of the Terminator-franchise, before it got butchered by Terminator Dark Fate was a stable time loop.
There was no "original timeline", it always was the one presented in The Terminator and Terminator Judgement Day as the two movies which are the most consistent in this movie series.
You missed that Kyle Reese told the story of John Connor to young Sarah Connor.
If he would come from an alternate timeline, he could not have known about John Connor.
@@michaelstaengl1349 The future is changeable without overwriting what came before. We know that because Sarah and John were still concerned that Judgment Day might occur in 97 after T2. If the Kyle Sarah knew came from the new future they wouldn't have been expecting Judgment Day until 2003. IMO the way that makes the most sense is a Terminator multiverse with the attempts to change the past and the future creating new timelines without destroying the older ones. And again we don't know that the first timeline we saw was the original timeline or if it was the result of a timeline split.
If there was no original John then how did Kyle get Sarah's picture...
@@cykesrevenge He gets sent back in time for a reason that has nothing to do with Sarah. May he accomplishes his objective and survives maybe its a long term deal like Derek's assigned mission in Sarah Connor Chronicles. He meets Sarah, they fall in love, and give birth to John who sends Kyle back in time once Skynet tries to assassinate Sarah in the past. Nothing in the idea requires him to have a picture or know what she looks like before meeting her.

The resistance defeats Skynet, Skynet sents a Terminator back to 1984, John sents Kyle, Kyle travels back in time, falls in love with Sarah, he fathers John, about eight months later, a pregnant Sarah leaves the USA, a kid takes the photo. At a day in the future, Sarah gives the photo to John, Jophn gives the photo to Kyle, at a moment, Kyle losses the photo to F.-Columbu-T800, a bit later the resistance defeats Skynet, Skynet sents a Terminator back to 1984.
John Connor is the result of a stable time loop, there's no need for a hypotetical "original John".
This was a weird video. Telling us plot points of the movies known by everyone that’s watched them has nothing to do with unsolved mysteries of the franchise 🤨
"Skynet is operating at 60 teraflops a second."
Funny, there are modern GPUs that do more than 80 teraflops a second already.
Also, if it's just software then it wouldn't be measured in that way, that's a hardware measurement. Strange choice for a movie that has the main twist at the end be that there was no hardware, no mainframe.
I highly recommend watching the classic movie; Colossus: The Forbin Project, which i believe could be the inspiration for Skynet.
They aren’t all made of that mometic polly alloy or however you spell it so that is incorrect if you did your research you’d know the endo’s have a coltan endoskeleton not that made up material sorry if I misspelled it
Be safe ? tha last phrase made me doubt that there is a T-1000 around
I have a question the first time ever the Kyle Reese was sent back. I don’t think anyone knew he was the dad because at some point Kyle Reese is from the future John Connor was born before all that Mayham so John Connor had to have had an original father probably a deadbeat dad before Kyle Reese? Because the first time travel attempts if Kyle Reese is from the future, how was John Connor even ever born? It had to have been someone else before Kyle Reese?
Personally, I think time travelling in the past is impossible.
But travelling in an alternative past is possible.
So that can mean that the first John Connor might not have been related to Kyle Reese,
It was simply because Sarah had a one night stand and assumed that it was meant to be that way and named her son John and trained him to believe the same.
Skynet created Skynet
You need to completely ignore anything aside from The Terminator, T2, and Dark Fate.
Everything else is just not really canon.
Especially dark fate have to be ignored.
The infiltrators have a coltan endoskeletons under their skin
There'd only be a few thousand of them ever produced then...
None of these are really mysteries guys
Also, in the original script, they wanted O.J. Simpson to play the terminator because it was supposed to be an unassuming every day man looking person to make it easier to infiltrate then they went with intimidation factor with Arnold Schwarzenegger
They also originally wanted the role to go to Lance Henriksen (Sgt. Vukovich).
I kinda doubt that this video will reveal what the T-1000 was doing while John Sarah and The Terminator was hanging out in the desert
There is a real SKYNET in Japan hopefully won't become and destroy everything like in the movies.
While I do love your channel? Yeah.....none of these were really mysteries within the franchise. You want something to explore?
1. Who reprogrammed "Pops" in Terminator Genesis? How far in the timeline is Pops originally from?
2. Where did Skynet (the T-5000?) Come from? Why did it not terminate John Conner sooner? We all saw it was waltzing around within his ranks the whole time. It could have ended him or assimilated him at any time. Why wait until he defeated that version of Skynet?
3. Pops helped build Cyberdyne System facility. How the hell was he not aware of the core sitting below the complex?
4 Why the heck did Genesis (or however they spelled it) have so many obvious plot holes that were large enough for an HK Tank to rumble through?
5. What was Dark Fate's excuse?
There's some real mystery for ya.
And before anyone points it out? The T-5000, or Skynet, is obviously far more advanced than the T-3000, or John Connor, was. Pops mentioned that Skynet was experimenting with the Phase Matter technology so some time must have been needed to perfect the technology.
@@livingchutoy5422 Except the fact the t-5000 was from a different timeline. Why didn't he travel further back in this particular timeline? smh
A-a-and, let's see if the current pro-AI faction had enough brains to pay attention in class, so they'd do all they could to keep AI from going into Skynet mode.
So John Connor knows Kyle is his dad eh? And John is OLDER than his dad???
You have to kill the father and Skynet wins
The mystery is easy. T1 and T2 are cannon. Everything else beyond those first two is just well funded fan fiction.
Wait! Wait! LMAO what the hell do you mean "...it's like a real life chameleon"??? 🤣 Instead of just imaginary chameleons, which is apparently all we've ever had here in real life lol
I mean they'd damn sure need to be imaginary if chameleons can do the all that the liquid metal terminators could Rather than just camouflaging themselves to match the colors of there surroundings lol
The rest of the video was good. Lol
None of these were mysteries. Just basic trivia
Wait...there are more rhan 2 Terminator films?!? Wow! I was intentionally ignorant of that.. 😂
no kyle reese cannot be johns father because of the paradox. when he got sarah pregnant that altered the timeline.
It's a time loop. He was always John's father because he always did/would/will travel back to become the father.
@ChakatBlackstar thats called a paradox. implying the future happens before the past. which it doesn't.
@@shadowgb It can happen when there's time travel involved.
@ChakatBlackstar no it cant. hell even kyle himself said there is no fate but what we make for ourselves. the future cant happen before the past.
@shadowgb Kyle is a soldier, not a scientist. He has no idea how time travel works. Realistically, predestination is the only way it should work when traveling back in time, lest a grandfather paradox be created. The only other option would be traveling sideways in time (i.e. moving to parallel timelines, something Genisys confirmed was a thing.) But the first movie was always predestination.
The most problem thing is Nuclear Weapon not only kills human even destroy all computer network so how skynet survives ?
Hard to say, the continuity is all over the place. The original stated that Skynet had a central core located at Cheyenne Mountain, it's likely self contained and unaffected after the bombs dropped. While in 3 Skynet was software spread out across the internet.
Actually Kyle Reese is NOT John Conners original father. That’s not possible. John had a completely different biological father in the original timeline. Also in regards to that John actually got most of not all his great qualities from his mother. The father didn’t matter. However the new John with Kyles DNA may have become better than Johns original biological father
Agree! Sarah Connor is the ultimate badass!!! Without her there is no John
I think John's original father was Sarah's roommate's boyfriend. The actor who played Slider in Top Gun also played the boyfriend but I can't remember his name. He survived against the Terminator longer than anyone not a main character. There isn't a lot of background on that guy but he was strong, healthy, and resilient. Plus, he was the only man in her life for John's birthday to be close.
Another possibility is the first Terminator movie isn't the first timeline. Maybe a Terminator already went back and killed John's original father because there were better records of him for Skynet to hunt him with. Only it didn't change the future enough so they had to go back for Sarah, since she was the more important person.
@@asimpson164Sarah was dating a guy with a Porsche. He is most likely the father. It also means that John was already conceived, and he is not altered in any way.
You all here surely don't understand the concept of a stable time loop which has two or three key-years.
A stable time loop is what we see in the movie The Terminator.
1st = The Resistance wins the war.
2nd = Skynet sent a Terminator back to 1984 to remove Sarah Connor from the timeline thus securing his victory.
3rd = The Resistance in the future sents Kyle Reese back to 1984 to protect Sarah.
4th = Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor fall in love and make John Connor.
5th = The Terminator fails to kill Sarah and becomes the template for the development of Skynet.
6th = The way into the future is secured. Skynet is being developed and John Connor was born 9 months after the events of Terminator 1.
7th = Skynet wipes out most of humanity.
8th = The resistance forms.
9th = John Connor becomes the leader, he knows many things about Terminators.
10th = The Resistance wins the war.
11th = Skynet sent a Terminator back to 1984 to remove Sarah Co..... and so on.
It's that simple but unfortunately many too used to think in a linear way.
The Terminator and Terminator Judgement Day were the only two movies which are consistent in their depiction of this stable time loop.
All other movies played around with the timeline and messed it up by creating the waves of alternate reality timelines until Terminator Dark Fate butchered even the last remainder of the original stable time loop which was ignored by all other Terminator movie producers.
@@michaelstaengl1349 I do like that idea. However, time is linear even if perception of time isn't. For a stable time loop the has to be a terminal point of the instant before the loop begins, the last fixed point prior to the loop. That point would have to be the second just before, or possibly even earlier, the first Terminator's time vortex starts affecting the area around it. At that very moment Sarah Connors isn't pregnant. So in the original prime timeline how does Sarah Connors become pregnant? We know John exists in the future in the prime timeline because he wins the war which lead Skynet to send back a Terminator. Kyle Reese was not alive in the prime timeline to get Sarah pregnant but we know someone has to around the same time. The second timeline and seemingly all further timelines has Kyle Reese as John's father. Someone had to be John's father for John to be born and win the war because the machines wouldn't have created a time machine and Kyle Reese would never have been sent back.
I'm sure you know all of this already but I wanted to lay out my thought process for errors I can't/won't/didn't
see.
Now, if we are mistaken about the original timeline because Kyle Reese gives us bad information then it could all be different. It could be possible in prime minus 1 timeline there was not a John Connor, and Kyle Reese found a way to go back in time after the humans lost. He goes to 1984 meets Sarah (randomly) and they have a family where he teaches them about what happens in the future, thus creating a great general who has the knowledge and ability to win the war for humans. If this happened it would be in favor of your stable closed time loop.
None of these were "unsolved mysteries"
First of all the T-800 is not a true cyborg because it can survive without the organic parts. True cyborgs would be Robo-Cop , and The Borg.
The way I make sense of this series is that Skynet needs certain events to happen. Ie it needs future John to send Kyle back to stop the T-800. But I think Skynet puts a flaw deep in the T-800’s program assuring it will not succeed which leads to its own creation. The T-1000 was there to make sure John stays with his Mom and has proper motivation. The X was sent back to get the timeline back on track and make sure that john and others would be in the right place after judgement day. The problem is it leads to a time loop that Skynet cannot break. The crappy movie that is Genasary was Skynet’s attempt at breaking that loop but that lead to more problems.
I remember reading that cameron said skynet deeply regretted its knee jerk reaction of nuking and killing humans, that it was akin to a infant having a reflex it didnt know better or the full effect of its actions. That skynet had guilt and wanted to but couldnt self terminate and so its plan was to kill itself was via john connor and that the time travel was its way of carrying out that plan.
Its interestering but i grew up in the late 80s to 90s and prefer my skynet a hateful crazy genius ai. 😂 and i wouldnt have minded dark fate except for the killing of both john and skynet, i think gabriel lunez did a good job i just didnt like the endo design with its 3d printer design n skooped out cranium, and poor sarah...
Why do people not like Genesys it was one of the better newer movies. Now Salvation sucked and underwhelmed even with Christian Bale although Common did his thing.
@@joshfacio9379 The idea about Skynet is interesting but like you I grew up in the 80’s and find the evil version more compelling. My problem with Dark Fate is with Sarah being in it as a old lady. She shouldn’t have been in it as the hardened warrior because John was killed as a teenager so he never sent Kyle back thus no Skynet. So no Skynet no T-800. Sarah’s life would have stayed the same, so no old warrior Sarah and no Robot playing house.
@@joshfacio9379Makes sense. After all Skynet could push the button anytime. Why not hang around people and try to figure things out without burning all bridges.
Automatic thumbs-down for begging for a likes and subscribes before the video even begins. 🤷♂️
I need a Vacation🃏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You didn’t touch on the paradox of Kyle being John’s father. If Kyle is John’s father, how could John have existed in the first terminator movie, to send Kyle back during the war???……….
That's the nature of a stable time loop which depends on itself and creates itself.
All historic events pre 1984 ➡In 1984 the T800 and Kyle Reese arrives, both battles over Sarah Connor, Reese fathers John, the Terminator gets destroyed ➡ Sarah Connor becomes the women which is the legend to the humans of the future. ➡ Thanks to the surviving parts of the T800 Skynet could be developed. ➡ Skynet destroys much of humanity ➡ The resistance wins the war, Skynet sents the T800 back to 1984, the Resistance under adult John sents Kyle Reese into the past ➡In 1984 the T800 and Kyle Reese arrives, both battles over Sarah Connor, Reese fathers John. ... ➡ In the future after the defeat of Skynet history continues normally.
It's that simple, no need to overthink it. There's no "original John", John always was meant to be the son of Kyle Reese due to this stable time loop.
