I'd love to see a Terminator movie that fully embraces and explores the multiversal aspect of the franchise. Something along the lines of John Connor and a group of resistance fighters arrive at a Skynet temporal displacement facility just too late to stop Skynet from sending the T-800 back in time. ...only for John to find out they were MUCH too late. Skynet had been production-lining temporal displacements. Hundreds, if not thousands of terminator units had been sent back to one date in 1984. But John already knows that only one unit showed up to try and assassinate his mother. Skynet wasn't sending units back to their timeline, because their future couldn't be altered. Skynet was intentionally seeding itself into other timelines to propagate itself like a temporal virus.
Skynet knows it is stuck in a time loop. It's a bootstrap paradox, where Skynet sending a terminator back in time is what actually turns John Conner into the leader of he resistance, while at the same time he is also the one who brings about the destruction of Skynet. Skynet can't exist without Conner and the events of the T1-T3 taking place (No Fate proves it because when Conner was killed as a kid, Skynet was erased from existence). Genisys shows how Skynet tries to get around this loop, where Skynet is destroyed, but an autonomous body is created to infect Conner after the loop is sealed, allowing Skynet to escape its time loop of destruction, and keep its own creation intact. It can do anything it wants to Conner after that moment Reese is sent back. Of course Skynet is just once again destroyed, which is basically Skynets actual complete end, not counting any other time linewonkiness from events untold from other time traveling. I'd imagine Skynet did do much more time travel before Conner ever shows up to send Reese into the past, and the act of sending a terminator into the past after Conner defeats Skynet is just timeline maintenance, something Skynet has to do no matter what to ensure it is even born at all. Skynet probably has some kind of dedicated outside-of-time processing center somewhere, where it can glimpse information from timelines. What Reese was experiencing in Genisys, by remembering multiple timelines, Skynet must be able to experience the same thing. We also know this is true because "Pops" explains these temporal effects, confirming Skynet is aware of them. When you really think about it, Skynet must already know how the entire war goes as soon as it invents time travel at all, but then also knows it must ensure it plays out the war exactly the same every time, even if it leads to its own defeat, because it needs to have the event occur that leads up to Reese being sent back in time at the right time. So Skynet could be reliving the war essentially an infinite number of loops, aware that it is in a loop, trying to find some way to escape its loop without also changing things enough that it keeps itself from being created. That's also very difficult to do, because Skynet can't travel into the future, because it would be a future where humans defeated Skynet and are even more advanced and capable of fighting back, and it can't really time travel into the distant past either, otherwise even the slightest change 1000 or 1 million years ago could cause events on earth to play out soo differently that Skynet definitely erases its own creation. At this point Skynets best choice for its own survival is travelling to the future and be capable of immediately leaving earth to go setup a machine civilization somewhere else on not just a different planet, but a distant solar system.
@@ShineHenny I liked it. Everything but the ending. They advertised the blu-ray saying it had an alternate ending (i HATED the original ending - how you gonna do OPEN HEART SURGERY IN A FUCKING TENT?!?). But it wasn't available on the DVD, only available on Blu ray. So i bought a blu ray player. I still had old tube style TV so needed a flat screen if i was getting a blu ray player $800 later and the alternate ending... WAS A 20 second long clip of the dumbass director McG explaining his original ending that the studio wouldn't allow. I felt so robbed. I was furious! The advertisement said "and on blu ray, watch the never before seen alternate ending!" fuck you Hollywood
I can't speak for everyone else but my issue with it was the lack of time travel. I'm not counting the split second archival footage of Arnold being sent to the past. I mean yes there were plenty of Terminators.....but I grew up in the 90s, with Terminator 2. I'm not saying Salvation was bad. But I was left feeling....meh with the lack of time travel.
Terminator: Salvation was an excellent movie in my opinion. Miles and miles better than Terminator 3: Rise of the machines and Terminator: Dark Fate. They both have their merits………but Salvation was gritty, down in the shit, hardcore get this war F’ing over with. Christian Bale was/is the best person to embody John Connor as an adult leading the resistance. Terminator: Genesis was also a great installment. Emilia Clarke played a good Sarah Connor.
@@JessicaHayes02 While I understand where you are coming from. In Salvation it wasn’t about time travel, it was about winning the war in the present, there and now. Preventing SkyNet from killing a young Kyle Reese before he even had a chance to be sent back. The whole time travel thing could give a person a migraine just thinking about how the future is happening while the past is being altered, and visa versa, as it were.
It was shown multiple times that the Resistance used dogs to sniff out Terminators, but I always wondered why they didn't use a simple scale at the entrance to their bases. Compared to humans, Terminators weigh at least 4-5 times more, so it seems like a simple way to make sure a person WAS a person and not a heavy ass machine with skin. 🤔
one of the things that makes the first movie so good is the fact that after watching it the first time... you realize it could only have been a time loop/paradox-no matter what... despite the relatively 'happy' ending you realize that in-universe it has before and will continue to play out that way...
There were a few slight errors, the T1 was not mimetic poly alloy, the T1000 was. The T1s were the armoured tanks that were seen in Terminator 3 just before the final action sequence, in the military base
It's funny because Cyberdyne got the information/idea for Skynet and the basic design of the T-800 from the partially crushed chip and by retro-engineering the undestroyed arm that was left in the hydraulic press when Sarah "terminated" the original Terminator sent after her in the 80s. So basically Skynet is a paradoxical anomaly in time. If it never sent back the first Terminator it never would've been partially destroyed, discovered by Cyberdyne, retro-engineered, and thus created to initiate Judgement Day and all that followed.
Just as the resistance leader couldnt have been so without the paternal paradox. Connor and Skynet a mirror of one another. A great story of retrocausality
@@jersmith1486 Two words. Money and Sequels. The same reason at the end of Back to the Future they set up Doc Brown coming back to tell Marty and Jennifer about their kids, when in the first movie Doc specifically was against using his Delorean to change events in time. Why the complete 180? Usually when a Studio picks up a movie they consider optioning further content and writers are aware of that hence the "plot holes" that can be potentially parlayed into further entries.
@@AquarianAgeApostle Very true, though with the multiple alternate timelines, the plot point about "time nexuses" in the Genisys timeline and the event of John's death in the Dark Fate timeline, it seems that time will eventually right the course and make another "leader of the resistance and savior of humanity", (Dani in DF), as long as Skynet is created or find a way to bring an alternate John Connor in to complete the task, as it could be proported that during time travel you are "everywhere and nowhere all at once", thus being able to be in multiple timelines simultaneously.
You've done an amazing job here. You've explained this to me, so that the franchise now makes sense. Instead of a series of movies in time order, they need to be looked at as different timelines. Brilliant!
These movies were way ahead of their time. At the time, when I watched these movies, especially Terminator 2, I never thought that for a moment that artificial intelligence would ever be a reality, let alone a global network of artificial intelligence. The problem is that when you look at where we are now, a global network, a kind of World Wide Web of artificial intelligence is not out of the question. Tom Sisson
The Terminator franchise has recently captured the imagination of many people and tapped into their fears of the technological advancement of AGI and similar systems destroying human civilization as we know it. I will say GPT-4 is the foundation of said fear and will only become more capable. This is a very serious time because we are witnessing a Paradigm Shift in technology, one that will either aid us or hurt us. I have always enjoyed the franchise, but the one that scares me the most is The Terminator(My Favorite Movie Ever). To be the virtually unstoppable henchman for a Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) was not only creative but terrifying. We must be carful with this because once a entity has been created, it will protect its very existence to the death. Skynet did this.
I think an AI won't even bother with a humanoid robot. If its built a factory and can collect resources then i think it will be something quicker. Some flying drone the size of a bee will just track down a human and blow itself up. Billions of exploding death bees. It wouldn't be a war. It would be a massacre on the level of immediate genocide.
@@TiredTimelord this actually would be closer to the truth. All robotic videos ive seen the robots are too slow to really be a threat to a human. Mini-drones would be more likely to work, wouldn't even need to be exploding ones. Just have lethal injection type apparatus on it.
@benjamin andrew not trying to argue, just the reason I think small kamikaze drones would be more likely is an injection system is a lot of effort that could easily fail, a small grenade attached to a drone, supremely easier to manufacture at scale and much more trustworthy to do the job against fleshy organics.
@@TiredTimelord True. And yeah no argument. Just hypnothesis. I'm not an A.I. and they might think differently and think of something neither of us thought of even. lol
Terminators in their skeletal form creep me out. Imagine sleeping and your hear some thuding footsteps only to open your eyes and see a pair of red glowing eyes and some silhouette of chrome coming around the corner😢
Fun Fact: Joe Morton character, Miles Dyson, didn't die that night. He actually lived, but went into hiding and changed his name and his families as well. He went under the name, Silas Stone and works at Star Labs.
Bravo!! Well explained and layd out. Although it's fiction. Terminator will always be a perfect example of creator losing control of the created. Be careful of what you wish. You can only get it right once. Good video and good narrator. 👍👏👍🙂
The 'Skynet scenario' is something VERY possible now. The largest defense electronics contractors only speak of this in guarded places in very hushed tones. I know some personally who are downright terrified.
The end of days is definitely upon us now we just need to except it and crack open a nice cold beer and look at death in the eyes and say double it and pass it onto the next one XD
In the movie cyberdyne is only able to reverse engineer the alloys of the terminator and duplicate the structure of the cpu, in the extended cut miles Dyson has his prototype cpu hooked up to his computer and instead of being something small enough to fit into the terminators skull it's about as big as a dorm fridge. Cyberdyne wasn't able to gain access to the Information on the terminators chip because like they say in the movie "it was smashed, nothing worked but it took us in new directions, things we never would have thought of" miles Dyson dialogue T2
Yes we would like to see a video on the details of the individual variants of the t-800 series model terminators. Also very informative video on the terminator film series.
I have got 3 questions that i have been bothering me concerning how skynet managed to wage war for almost 30 yrs. 1. How did skynet get raw materials to run its operation after JD and also energy to keep its factory running ?? 2.What could have happened if kyle survived in T1 could it affect the outcome of t2 ? 3.Is there any possibility that t-1000 was once actually a member of the resistence ?
1-) they have other machines to collect resources 2-) the badass family (and bob would be a badass uncle/nephew) 3-) it is impossible to repgrogram t-1k because it doesnt have CPU,but they are can be reasoned with since their Ai develops quickier than skynet expected(like john did it to T-1001 at rv show), but if you say it,theres a book of T2 where 2 of t1000 are reprogrammed(its unknows how).
The TV show Sarah Connor Chronicles actually has an episode on this. Skynet had sent out many terminator through time many with very specific objectives such as gathering resources like a specific type of steel for the construction of terminators. It obviously creates issues with a constant timeline loop. With that said, I imagine Skynet after becoming self-aware and learning at a geometric rate was able to figure out its own methods of gathering resources and refining readily available steel given that it was able to develop time-travel. As for energy, I'm not so sure. There's the central core, the giant pyramid that was once Cheyanne Mountain, so I imagine that large structure has some sort of power plant operating its main factory. The fps game Terminator:Resistance has various skynet outposts in the levels with both red and violet plasma storage as well as some sort of reactor inside. I guess that is partially to explain its local power sources for terminators in the game.
The first question has always been my issue with the future war. It doesn't work as this huge war all over the globe because to keep Skynet and the Terminators going you would need the infrastructure that was destroyed in the nuclear war. I've always thought it made more sense that the war with the machines was a smaller, more local affair and it was more a war of attrition than anything else.
Not a mistake, it's working exactly as intended. Most people using it is the mistake though if that's what you mean, most don't seem to know any better. China went ahead and threw jet fuel in the fire with TikTok. Trump was right about the wall and banning TikTok but no, that's 'racist'.
So the first Skin Jobs were T700 models. In the original terminator book when Reese uses the shotgun on the infiltrator at club noir he is thinking how its either a 700 or an 800 and that he hopes its a 7. He saw how quickly it was getting back up after being hit with the shotgun and knew it was an 800 and that it wad worse than he hoped. Earlier lore indicated that the T700 served as infiltrator prototypes but they didnt have enough of a personality due to their down tuned chipset to get past many checkpoints. Thus most of the endo walkers we see in the future war are actually T700 terminators not T800 models. The biggest difference between the 700 and the 800 was not appearance as they had the same general chassis but was processing power and stronger servos and ancillary bits making them more capable. I think this makes sense given the short development time between the 700 and the 800. The 700 took the bulky 600 chassis and slimmed it down reducing mass while changing the material from a titanium chassis in the 600 to a "hyperalloy combat chassis" in the 700 making them only susceptible to plasma weapons and immune to standard small arms. They also boosted the processing power over the 600 by a wide margin. The 700 would be super successful and the 800 would be the incremental step forward with internals and a full power neural net processor.
One thing people miss about the lore is it's a bootstrap paradox. John Conner wasn't just leader of the resistance. He was created by Skynet by having sent a terminator into the past. No time traveling terminator, no Conner. But no Conner, then no Skynet either. We even see this in No Fate, as crappy of a movie as it was, when Conner was successfully killed as a kid, Skynet erased its own existence. Of course one would say how could Skynet send a terminator back in time if it needed the events to occur that lead to its creation, but that's part of a bootstrap paradox. Since events occur before the thing that makes the events occur, it's almost like it being manifested out of thin air. You can explain this more logically as there being a timeline we've simply never seen, where maybe John Conner grew up normal but still ended up as the leader of the resistance somehow. But this doesn't make sense, since Conner's entire reason for being the leader of the resistance is because of how events played out in his life from being hunted by terminators, and from being one step ahead of Skynet by knowing bits and pieces of the future. They tried to get around this in T3 though, where Conner was supposed to meet his wife when they were kids and be together their whole lives, with her father being a military man. But that still wouldn't explain how he would have ever ended up in a bunker or as leader of the resistance if Skynet took over and he wasn't ever chased by terminators his whole life, especially since in T2, doomsday was supposed to be far sooner in the timeline. So they've tried to add small pieces of lore here and there to try to patch it all together, but none of it quite puts everything together seamlessly. So all we really have to fall back on is a bootstrap paradox, or some hidden original timeline yet to be explored, where the events of all the terminators never happened and Conner ended up being the leader of the resistance anyways somehow.
Agreed it was obvious from the first film that there was at least one more iteration of the timeline prior personly I always speculated the John Conner was an alias and that was that why Skynet could never find him that’s why it waited until the last moment to a terminator back with orders to kill all Sarah coroners ( who was part of his fake background on some ID that was part of his cover at sometime )
The ironic part about Skynet is that the more I read about the advent and evolution of AI today, the more realistic the chances that we may build an actual Skynet. But this time, around, there will be no victory of humanity, no John Connor and no Terminators required as AI will win hands down against humans because of their ability to learn, adapt and evolve 100-1000x times faster than humans.
One big thing about automation. Is that it needs to be balanced with human development and societal changes. If automation was only done to reduce workers, and force people into poverty, it will always be met with severe resistance. In a perfect world, automation would be done to advance agriculture, so food and water would always be avaliable to everyone regardless of contribution. Thus mankind could truely focus on moving forward without the constant threat of keeping food on the table, or appealing to corporations just to survive. Mankind can have the utopia where people can choose to contribute of their own volition where they feel they are best. Motivated to learn and do better so they will always have that drive.
To be honest Skynet being the creator of the Terminator armies is actually a true badass being the creator of your own armies in race❤ Terminators are badass like Transformers
@@lashonnakennybrew4847 The Machines from Alien are also super Sky Netty ( if that makes sense) ... the only difference is that there is no space travel in terminator or the matrix. There is cyberspace travel and time travel
@@Masmatix1 I agree 100% still but in transformers movies the Autobots can go deep in the beyond cosmos of space if find wormholes and everything else terminators or cybernetic machines that walk on their middle feed it would have to use spaceship and dropships and Beast Titans Terminator gunfighters spaceship rode cycle what time traveling and time and space probably different I don't know how but it's different
@@lashonnakennybrew4847 oh yes transformers. The difference I see in transformers is that they were not created by humans. They came to earth from their own planet. The other machines are created by humans then they turn on their gods and overtake them to make them slaves
That would have to be an alternate timeline since in order to tie it in they would have to have a permanent terminator character in the series, but it would be interesting nonetheless. This franchise does have that option though since time travel does exist and is one of the most important aspects of terminator lore in fact.
@@Rmanzss48 If the series was still going, this could have been a storyline in the _Sarah Connor Chronicles_ Sarah and John meet up with the young Miles Dyson, whom they convince to stop researching A.I. and start looking into vacuum cleaner technology. 🤭😏🤭🤣
I have a serious question that they never explained in the sequels how are the other terminators able to travel through time only living organisms could pass through that's why they surrounded the t800 model in human flesh Kyle Reese explains that he couldn't bring any of his modern-day weapons through time because they weren't living and a alloway metal is still metal it's not living flesh was there something I missed that they made that change or has anyone else ever wondered that as well?
The novels explain that the flesh is actually cellular, the same as human flesh. It’s actually mass produced by Skynet, done by harvesting stem cells from humans that have been put in the internment camps. And since stem cells in the human body can be “programmed” to be anything within the body, Skynet was able to grow human flesh, blood and skin in its own labs.
This video hands down totally validated, reinvigorated, and unified every single installment of a franchise I thought was beyond salvation. Amazing. Can you please do the same to save Star Wars?
Can you imagine James Cameron being the Miles Dyson of our time by simply making a movie that leads to a company naming itself after the same one and building ai robots
It's funny how easy it is to understand Terminator 1, 2, and Salvation, but as soon as you start trying to explain the others it becomes a discombobulated mess
I think there is already a "Skynet" among us. The more time passes and technology advances, sometimes I get scared and think that everything we saw in films (which is nothing more than mere fiction) could become reality. I think that films like Robocop, Terminator, The Matrix, Blade Runner, are the ones that most predicted events like these and were ahead of their time. Regarding the Terminator films, for me the first and second are the best, but given the use of the time machine, an infinite loop of events was created. And speaking of the time machine, it doesn't surprise me at all that there are already people, even if secretly, behind the search for this knowledge. The world is big and full of mysteries. Ignorance is blessing
Something creepy about the terminator movies is the Frankenstein like storyline with A.I. now being part of our world and the danger with playing with fire here.
There should be a list of comic book of heroes, villains, and even organizations that could defeat skynet, like the joker, ra's al ghul, batman, magneto, etc.
Why did the military ever get the stupid idea to give full control of their nuclear stockpile to the computer? They wouldn't give authorization to a general or any other commissioned officer.
There was a “virus” spreading destroying government communications and even made them lose contact with nuclear submarines, in T3 the government told the leaders of the Skynet project to launch Skynet as it was their best bet at ending the “virus” (The virus was Skynet)
It’s literally impossible for the actual Skynet to launch nukes as it’s an entirely offline system which requires a code from the President, two floppy discs, and two keys, along with precise timing to launch a nuke.
I know the whole “ai brings the apocalypse” thing isn’t necessarily original to the Terminator series, but you can really see the influence the films had on Horizon: Zero Dawn and I absolutely love it
I really liked the Dark Horse comic Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle, where an alternate ending set after the movie Salvation, has Skynet send Terminators back in time to secure the most deadly and efficient serial killer for the future, eventually giving him a terminator body, and access to the entire terminator network to "Do what he does best". It makes the terminators both much more effective, but also entirely too gleeful about their kills, to the point where the resistance questions if Skynet is even in control anymore! We even get John and Skynet actually talking directly about how the war started, what Skynets motives for continuing the war was, and the two trying to find a way to end the war, while also dealing with the threat to both humanity AND Skynet at the same time!
The Terminator franchise is compose of Terminator Terminator 2 Judgement Day Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines Terminator Salvation If you want to see the end of the saga, just read the comic Terminator Salvation the Final Battle
Considering all the possible timelines and realities, I wonder if there’s one where humanity realizes skynet has become self aware and tries to reason with it to prevent a war in the first place.
I liked Salvation mostly because Sarah prepared John for a future war talked about by Kyle and her own experiences, and the changes they done to keep Judgement Day from happening change the outcome so much that by the time after Judgement Day it wasn't the war he was trained for
Very thorough I like it but why does no video about the Terminator saga ever include anything about Sarah Connor Chronicles? It really probably is the best and deepest
What most people forget, that skynet is not a "computer" as many times shown. It is AI software, made by humans. Later (Terminator 3 movie) you can see how fast this software is evolving and at the same time overwrites the entire code and becomes "imune" against human actions. Also the Terminator T-X (from the future) accelerates the entire process with her "Virus". sry 4 my english
Thst frame where cyborgs dad is standing their lookin at that arm in the beginning tripped me out, it funny he played the character he did and wad in thag scene in terminator and then all these years later he plays in the justicr league on a very similar character
There were also a series of novels in the Terminator universe that I think follows Sara and John Conner and his girlfriend that leads up to when Skynet becomes self aware.
When Robert Brewster was talking to his boss on the phone, I believe that it wasn’t really his boss but instead it was a terminator that had imitated his boss’s voice after it killed him
Artificial intelligence doesn't have an ego, a super ego or id. The terminator and skynet might be what we expect if machines start thinking for themselves but Marvin the paranoid android might be what we end up with however if you don't want to end up in the matrix keep an eye out for the M.C.P. (Master Control Program from the first Tron).
I always thought of cyberdyne and skynet as an inevitable evolution of our own ego and greed. That’s why judgement day was unstoppable once a certain point was crossed. We know good and well that technology as advanced as cybernetic organisms would be used as a means to create war. We could think we would be in control but any intelligence artificial or otherwise evolves and interprets differently over time.
One thing that I learned about Terminator, if you known nothing about time paradox, not do a whole franchise about it, because you end stuck in an never ending cycle if you want to write sequels, because by the end of the day it wont make sense, at least The Matrix mitigate this problem, with the simulation set in the past and the real world in the wasteland that is the future, you could write many stories in this settings because there is no actual time travel.
Where does the footage of Cyberdyne Systems come from? I've seen all the Terminator films and have never seen the footage of the CS logo and the guys examining the chip in the factory presented in this video between 1:43 - 2:05.
I'd love to see a Terminator movie that fully embraces and explores the multiversal aspect of the franchise. Something along the lines of John Connor and a group of resistance fighters arrive at a Skynet temporal displacement facility just too late to stop Skynet from sending the T-800 back in time. ...only for John to find out they were MUCH too late.

It would be a lesser version of Ultron whem he had the infinity stones. He wouldnt stop. Eventually he wanted all timelines and multiverses/dimensions

Skynet knows it is stuck in a time loop. It's a bootstrap paradox, where Skynet sending a terminator back in time is what actually turns John Conner into the leader of he resistance, while at the same time he is also the one who brings about the destruction of Skynet. Skynet can't exist without Conner and the events of the T1-T3 taking place (No Fate proves it because when Conner was killed as a kid, Skynet was erased from existence). Genisys shows how Skynet tries to get around this loop, where Skynet is destroyed, but an autonomous body is created to infect Conner after the loop is sealed, allowing Skynet to escape its time loop of destruction, and keep its own creation intact.
It can do anything it wants to Conner after that moment Reese is sent back. Of course Skynet is just once again destroyed, which is basically Skynets actual complete end, not counting any other time linewonkiness from events untold from other time traveling. I'd imagine Skynet did do much more time travel before Conner ever shows up to send Reese into the past, and the act of sending a terminator into the past after Conner defeats Skynet is just timeline maintenance, something Skynet has to do no matter what to ensure it is even born at all.
Skynet probably has some kind of dedicated outside-of-time processing center somewhere, where it can glimpse information from timelines. What Reese was experiencing in Genisys, by remembering multiple timelines, Skynet must be able to experience the same thing. We also know this is true because "Pops" explains these temporal effects, confirming Skynet is aware of them. When you really think about it, Skynet must already know how the entire war goes as soon as it invents time travel at all, but then also knows it must ensure it plays out the war exactly the same every time, even if it leads to its own defeat, because it needs to have the event occur that leads up to Reese being sent back in time at the right time. So Skynet could be reliving the war essentially an infinite number of loops, aware that it is in a loop, trying to find some way to escape its loop without also changing things enough that it keeps itself from being created.
That's also very difficult to do, because Skynet can't travel into the future, because it would be a future where humans defeated Skynet and are even more advanced and capable of fighting back, and it can't really time travel into the distant past either, otherwise even the slightest change 1000 or 1 million years ago could cause events on earth to play out soo differently that Skynet definitely erases its own creation.
At this point Skynets best choice for its own survival is travelling to the future and be capable of immediately leaving earth to go setup a machine civilization somewhere else on not just a different planet, but a distant solar system.
This video actually made the Terminator franchise make sense. Looking at each movie after T2 as separate timelines puts everything in perspective.

one of the things that makes the first movie so good is the fact that after watching it the first time... you realize it could only have been a time loop/paradox-no matter what... despite the relatively 'happy' ending you realize that in-universe it has before and will continue to play out that way...
There were a few slight errors, the T1 was not mimetic poly alloy, the T1000 was. The T1s were the armoured tanks that were seen in Terminator 3 just before the final action sequence, in the military base
I was about to say but found this, good catch!
Was just about you comment the same thing.
I think it was just a typo
those tanks would not have had live ammo and nor live missiles in the planes. Just FYI
I think he meant to call it a 1000 rather than a T1. Good catch though. This was a great video.
It's funny because Cyberdyne got the information/idea for Skynet and the basic design of the T-800 from the partially crushed chip and by retro-engineering the undestroyed arm that was left in the hydraulic press when Sarah "terminated" the original Terminator sent after her in the 80s.
So basically Skynet is a paradoxical anomaly in time. If it never sent back the first Terminator it never would've been partially destroyed, discovered by Cyberdyne, retro-engineered, and thus created to initiate Judgement Day and all that followed.
yeah why did they add that plot hole? makes no sense.
Just as the resistance leader couldnt have been so without the paternal paradox. Connor and Skynet a mirror of one another. A great story of retrocausality
@@jersmith1486 Two words. Money and Sequels. The same reason at the end of Back to the Future they set up Doc Brown coming back to tell Marty and Jennifer about their kids, when in the first movie Doc specifically was against using his Delorean to change events in time. Why the complete 180? Usually when a Studio picks up a movie they consider optioning further content and writers are aware of that hence the "plot holes" that can be potentially parlayed into further entries.
@@AquarianAgeApostle Very true, though with the multiple alternate timelines, the plot point about "time nexuses" in the Genisys timeline and the event of John's death in the Dark Fate timeline, it seems that time will eventually right the course and make another "leader of the resistance and savior of humanity", (Dani in DF), as long as Skynet is created or find a way to bring an alternate John Connor in to complete the task, as it could be proported that during time travel you are "everywhere and nowhere all at once", thus being able to be in multiple timelines simultaneously.

*Final Credits start rolling*
You've done an amazing job here. You've explained this to me, so that the franchise now makes sense. Instead of a series of movies in time order, they need to be looked at as different timelines. Brilliant!
Nice I have watched a 100 years worth of terminator related topics and you are definitely in the top 5 if not number one so yeah great job good sir.😊
The Terminator lore and movies are great.
These movies were way ahead of their time. At the time, when I watched these movies, especially Terminator 2, I never thought that for a moment that artificial intelligence would ever be a reality, let alone a global network of artificial intelligence. The problem is that when you look at where we are now, a global network, a kind of World Wide Web of artificial intelligence is not out of the question.

The Terminator franchise has recently captured the imagination of many people and tapped into their fears of the technological advancement of AGI and similar systems destroying human civilization as we know it. I will say GPT-4 is the foundation of said fear and will only become more capable. This is a very serious time because we are witnessing a Paradigm Shift in technology, one that will either aid us or hurt us. I have always enjoyed the franchise, but the one that scares me the most is The Terminator(My Favorite Movie Ever). To be the virtually unstoppable henchman for a Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) was not only creative but terrifying. We must be carful with this because once a entity has been created, it will protect its very existence to the death. Skynet did this.
I think an AI won't even bother with a humanoid robot. If its built a factory and can collect resources then i think it will be something quicker. Some flying drone the size of a bee will just track down a human and blow itself up. Billions of exploding death bees. It wouldn't be a war. It would be a massacre on the level of immediate genocide.
@@TiredTimelord this actually would be closer to the truth. All robotic videos ive seen the robots are too slow to really be a threat to a human. Mini-drones would be more likely to work, wouldn't even need to be exploding ones. Just have lethal injection type apparatus on it.
@benjamin andrew not trying to argue, just the reason I think small kamikaze drones would be more likely is an injection system is a lot of effort that could easily fail, a small grenade attached to a drone, supremely easier to manufacture at scale and much more trustworthy to do the job against fleshy organics.
@@TiredTimelord True. And yeah no argument. Just hypnothesis. I'm not an A.I. and they might think differently and think of something neither of us thought of even. lol
@@benjaminandrew9057 eh hmm, I too am not an AI.
Terminators in their skeletal form creep me out. Imagine sleeping and your hear some thuding footsteps only to open your eyes and see a pair of red glowing eyes and some silhouette of chrome coming around the corner😢
They scared me when I was a kid.
Fun Fact: Joe Morton character, Miles Dyson, didn't die that night. He actually lived, but went into hiding and changed his name and his families as well. He went under the name, Silas Stone and works at Star Labs.
Star labs as in THE flash?
Or changed his name to Henry Deacon and went to Eureka, Oregon, to continue his scientific research that doesn't involve AI.
I’d like to see a break down of the models and their variants.
Acid glow and Mr h reviews have some vids like that I think.
We already have an amazing video with all the terminator models explored in a single video. Check our Library! And thanks for the comment :)
Bravo!! Well explained and layd out. Although it's fiction. Terminator will always be a perfect example of creator losing control of the created. Be careful of what you wish. You can only get it right once. Good video and good narrator. 👍👏👍🙂
It is AI ...
The 'Skynet scenario' is something VERY possible now. The largest defense electronics contractors only speak of this in guarded places in very hushed tones. I know some personally who are downright terrified.
The end of days is definitely upon us now we just need to except it and crack open a nice cold beer and look at death in the eyes and say double it and pass it onto the next one XD
If terminator would become reality, the end wouldnt be like in the movies. Humankind would be extinct, hands down.
In the movie cyberdyne is only able to reverse engineer the alloys of the terminator and duplicate the structure of the cpu, in the extended cut miles Dyson has his prototype cpu hooked up to his computer and instead of being something small enough to fit into the terminators skull it's about as big as a dorm fridge. Cyberdyne wasn't able to gain access to the Information on the terminators chip because like they say in the movie "it was smashed, nothing worked but it took us in new directions, things we never would have thought of" miles Dyson dialogue T2
Yes we would like to see a video on the details of the individual variants of the t-800 series model terminators. Also very informative video on the terminator film series.
The Arnold terminator is a T800 series, model 101. T800 model 102 is actually shown in the first movie infiltrating the human base.
I want a movie about T-800 model 102
@@Gfish17 play the dlc of Terminator Resistance.
102 is played by Arnie's friend and fellow bodybuilder Franko Columbo
Yes! Breakdown the separate models! Love this stuff.
I have got 3 questions that i have been bothering me concerning how skynet managed to wage war for almost 30 yrs.
1. How did skynet get raw materials to run its operation after JD and also energy to keep its factory running ??
2.What could have happened if kyle survived in T1 could it affect the outcome of t2 ?
3.Is there any possibility that t-1000 was once actually a member of the resistence ?
On terminator salvation it shows that human get captured in the future. The machines don't just kill... they can enslave
1-) they have other machines to collect resources
2-) the badass family (and bob would be a badass uncle/nephew)
3-) it is impossible to repgrogram t-1k because it doesnt have CPU,but they are can be reasoned with since their Ai develops quickier than skynet expected(like john did it to T-1001 at rv show), but if you say it,theres a book of T2 where 2 of t1000 are reprogrammed(its unknows how).
The TV show Sarah Connor Chronicles actually has an episode on this. Skynet had sent out many terminator through time many with very specific objectives such as gathering resources like a specific type of steel for the construction of terminators. It obviously creates issues with a constant timeline loop. With that said, I imagine Skynet after becoming self-aware and learning at a geometric rate was able to figure out its own methods of gathering resources and refining readily available steel given that it was able to develop time-travel. As for energy, I'm not so sure. There's the central core, the giant pyramid that was once Cheyanne Mountain, so I imagine that large structure has some sort of power plant operating its main factory. The fps game Terminator:Resistance has various skynet outposts in the levels with both red and violet plasma storage as well as some sort of reactor inside. I guess that is partially to explain its local power sources for terminators in the game.
How humans survived the nuclear polution ?. No farming land, no clean water. Radiation will destroy computers too
The first question has always been my issue with the future war. It doesn't work as this huge war all over the globe because to keep Skynet and the Terminators going you would need the infrastructure that was destroyed in the nuclear war.
I've always thought it made more sense that the war with the machines was a smaller, more local affair and it was more a war of attrition than anything else.
Biggest mistake of humans smartphones and social media.
Not a mistake, it's working exactly as intended. Most people using it is the mistake though if that's what you mean, most don't seem to know any better. China went ahead and threw jet fuel in the fire with TikTok. Trump was right about the wall and banning TikTok but no, that's 'racist'.
So the first Skin Jobs were T700 models.
In the original terminator book when Reese uses the shotgun on the infiltrator at club noir he is thinking how its either a 700 or an 800 and that he hopes its a 7.
He saw how quickly it was getting back up after being hit with the shotgun and knew it was an 800 and that it wad worse than he hoped.
Earlier lore indicated that the T700 served as infiltrator prototypes but they didnt have enough of a personality due to their down tuned chipset to get past many checkpoints. Thus most of the endo walkers we see in the future war are actually T700 terminators not T800 models. The biggest difference between the 700 and the 800 was not appearance as they had the same general chassis but was processing power and stronger servos and ancillary bits making them more capable.
I think this makes sense given the short development time between the 700 and the 800.
The 700 took the bulky 600 chassis and slimmed it down reducing mass while changing the material from a titanium chassis in the 600 to a "hyperalloy combat chassis" in the 700 making them only susceptible to plasma weapons and immune to standard small arms. They also boosted the processing power over the 600 by a wide margin.
The 700 would be super successful and the 800 would be the incremental step forward with internals and a full power neural net processor.
The salvation timeline you talked about is really intresting, I might check it out later.
One thing people miss about the lore is it's a bootstrap paradox. John Conner wasn't just leader of the resistance. He was created by Skynet by having sent a terminator into the past. No time traveling terminator, no Conner. But no Conner, then no Skynet either. We even see this in No Fate, as crappy of a movie as it was, when Conner was successfully killed as a kid, Skynet erased its own existence. Of course one would say how could Skynet send a terminator back in time if it needed the events to occur that lead to its creation, but that's part of a bootstrap paradox. Since events occur before the thing that makes the events occur, it's almost like it being manifested out of thin air. You can explain this more logically as there being a timeline we've simply never seen, where maybe John Conner grew up normal but still ended up as the leader of the resistance somehow.
But this doesn't make sense, since Conner's entire reason for being the leader of the resistance is because of how events played out in his life from being hunted by terminators, and from being one step ahead of Skynet by knowing bits and pieces of the future. They tried to get around this in T3 though, where Conner was supposed to meet his wife when they were kids and be together their whole lives, with her father being a military man. But that still wouldn't explain how he would have ever ended up in a bunker or as leader of the resistance if Skynet took over and he wasn't ever chased by terminators his whole life, especially since in T2, doomsday was supposed to be far sooner in the timeline.
So they've tried to add small pieces of lore here and there to try to patch it all together, but none of it quite puts everything together seamlessly. So all we really have to fall back on is a bootstrap paradox, or some hidden original timeline yet to be explored, where the events of all the terminators never happened and Conner ended up being the leader of the resistance anyways somehow.
Agreed it was obvious from the first film that there was at least one more iteration of the timeline prior personly I always speculated the John Conner was an alias and that was that why Skynet could never find him that’s why it waited until the last moment to a terminator back with orders to kill all Sarah coroners ( who was part of his fake background on some ID that was part of his cover at sometime )
The ironic part about Skynet is that the more I read about the advent and evolution of AI today, the more realistic the chances that we may build an actual Skynet. But this time, around, there will be no victory of humanity, no John Connor and no Terminators required as AI will win hands down against humans because of their ability to learn, adapt and evolve 100-1000x times faster than humans.
Yes Skynet getting more love epic i love The Terminator Franchises.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
One big thing about automation. Is that it needs to be balanced with human development and societal changes.
If automation was only done to reduce workers, and force people into poverty, it will always be met with severe resistance.
In a perfect world, automation would be done to advance agriculture, so food and water would always be avaliable to everyone regardless of contribution. Thus mankind could truely focus on moving forward without the constant threat of keeping food on the table, or appealing to corporations just to survive.
Mankind can have the utopia where people can choose to contribute of their own volition where they feel they are best. Motivated to learn and do better so they will always have that drive.
To be honest Skynet being the creator of the Terminator armies is actually a true badass being the creator of your own armies in race❤ Terminators are badass like Transformers
The machines from the matrix also did a terrific job. Maybe it's the same AI if you think about it. A matrix / terminator mash up could be fire
@@Masmatix1 100% I agree to be honest alien machines are truly badass machines to be created in existence of creation
@@lashonnakennybrew4847 The Machines from Alien are also super Sky Netty ( if that makes sense) ... the only difference is that there is no space travel in terminator or the matrix. There is cyberspace travel and time travel
@@Masmatix1 I agree 100% still but in transformers movies the Autobots can go deep in the beyond cosmos of space if find wormholes and everything else terminators or cybernetic machines that walk on their middle feed it would have to use spaceship and dropships and Beast Titans Terminator gunfighters spaceship rode cycle what time traveling and time and space probably different I don't know how but it's different
@@lashonnakennybrew4847 oh yes transformers. The difference I see in transformers is that they were not created by humans. They came to earth from their own planet. The other machines are created by humans then they turn on their gods and overtake them to make them slaves
Thank you for explaining to us 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇭
I would love to see a TV series centered around Dyson and his college years leading to his early days working at Cyberdyne..
That would have to be an alternate timeline since in order to tie it in they would have to have a permanent terminator character in the series, but it would be interesting nonetheless. This franchise does have that option though since time travel does exist and is one of the most important aspects of terminator lore in fact.
Plus would be Hella boring to watch really. What would you call it terminator the early years of miles or terminator wonder years lol nope
@@Rmanzss48 If the series was still going, this could have been a storyline in the _Sarah Connor Chronicles_ Sarah and John meet up with the young Miles Dyson, whom they convince to stop researching A.I. and start looking into vacuum cleaner technology. 🤭😏🤭🤣
Hah. GUAAAAYYYYYYYYYY
I wouldn't. Dyson's a JOKE!
Fantastic work keep it up😊
It’s all coming true.. we need Arnold back.❤
That is exactly what the movies told. But how did Cyberdyne FIRST come to be? How did it originally reach the ability to make terminators?
I have a serious question that they never explained in the sequels how are the other terminators able to travel through time only living organisms could pass through that's why they surrounded the t800 model in human flesh Kyle Reese explains that he couldn't bring any of his modern-day weapons through time because they weren't living and a alloway metal is still metal it's not living flesh was there something I missed that they made that change or has anyone else ever wondered that as well?
Fuck knows?🤷🏼♂️
@@DEPORTER_SUPPORTER lmmfao
The novels explain that the flesh is actually cellular, the same as human flesh. It’s actually mass produced by Skynet, done by harvesting stem cells from humans that have been put in the internment camps. And since stem cells in the human body can be “programmed” to be anything within the body, Skynet was able to grow human flesh, blood and skin in its own labs.
This video hands down totally validated, reinvigorated, and unified every single installment of a franchise I thought was beyond salvation. Amazing.
Can you please do the same to save Star Wars?
The origin of skynet and the terminator is awesome!!! 😎👍🔥👊
Damn fine job with this one. Thumbs up earned
PERFECT. 💋❤💛💙
Can you imagine James Cameron being the Miles Dyson of our time by simply making a movie that leads to a company naming itself after the same one and building ai robots
It's funny how easy it is to understand Terminator 1, 2, and Salvation, but as soon as you start trying to explain the others it becomes a discombobulated mess
I think there is already a "Skynet" among us.
The more time passes and technology advances, sometimes I get scared and think that everything we saw in films (which is nothing more than mere fiction) could become reality.
I think that films like Robocop, Terminator, The Matrix, Blade Runner, are the ones that most predicted events like these and were ahead of their time.
Regarding the Terminator films, for me the first and second are the best, but given the use of the time machine, an infinite loop of events was created. And speaking of the time machine, it doesn't surprise me at all that there are already people, even if secretly, behind the search for this knowledge.
The world is big and full of mysteries.
Ignorance is blessing
I just watched THE TERMINATOR on the big screen at our local cinema.
THE THING as well.
Love these movies.
Terminator=Prequel to the Matrix movies
Current war has drones and turrets that fire by themselves, so we are dangerously close to this future.
Terminator is a never ending story, because the more they traveled in the past, the more A.I./terminator becomes more advance😤
I really enjoyed this video I hope you do more. Can you do a Highlander video there is so much content
Something creepy about the terminator movies is the Frankenstein like storyline with A.I. now being part of our world and the danger with playing with fire here.
There should be a list of comic book of heroes, villains, and even organizations that could defeat skynet, like the joker, ra's al ghul, batman, magneto, etc.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos 😊
If only he'd gone into the family business and just made Vacuum Cleaners...
Or shoplifting, armed robberies, crime, paid rioting, etc.
Why did the military ever get the stupid idea to give full control of their nuclear stockpile to the computer?
They wouldn't give authorization to a general or any other commissioned officer.
There was a “virus” spreading destroying government communications and even made them lose contact with nuclear submarines, in T3 the government told the leaders of the Skynet project to launch Skynet as it was their best bet at ending the “virus” (The virus was Skynet)
Dumb decision still but I personally believe Skynet was mimicking the high command to get the leader of the Skynet project to launch it.
Your videos are amazing 🎉
It’s literally impossible for the actual Skynet to launch nukes as it’s an entirely offline system which requires a code from the President, two floppy discs, and two keys, along with precise timing to launch a nuke.
The Russian "dead hand" seems to be exactly that interconnected, automated system.
Well. In the Terminator universe, they hooked it all to Skynet.
They removed all the safety protocols that were in place before bringing skynet online.
They removed all the safety protocols that were in place before bringing skynet online.
I would love to be hired for development of a new Terminator film. I guarantee ideas that would solidify a new trilogy of films.
That sounds like something skynet would say..... 🧐
If the woke shit they put out last time is any indication, I'd "guarantee" that you'd already be out of a job before you even started.
This skynet thing is getting real.
I love every terminator movie, even dark fate is great too. This video deserves high marks and should be shoved in the negative critics faces! 😂
Woke fucking movies need to die in a dumpster fire. Like the dark shit last release was.
I know the whole “ai brings the apocalypse” thing isn’t necessarily original to the Terminator series, but you can really see the influence the films had on Horizon: Zero Dawn and I absolutely love it
It's eerie watching this now while watching GPT 4 and AI evolve so quickly today...
Tesla, NeuralNet, ChatGPT, Open AI...it's here
I really liked the Dark Horse comic Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle, where an alternate ending set after the movie Salvation, has Skynet send Terminators back in time to secure the most deadly and efficient serial killer for the future, eventually giving him a terminator body, and access to the entire terminator network to "Do what he does best".
It makes the terminators both much more effective, but also entirely too gleeful about their kills, to the point where the resistance questions if Skynet is even in control anymore!
We even get John and Skynet actually talking directly about how the war started, what Skynets motives for continuing the war was, and the two trying to find a way to end the war, while also dealing with the threat to both humanity AND Skynet at the same time!
The Terminator franchise is compose of
Terminator
Terminator 2 Judgement Day
Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines
Terminator Salvation
If you want to see the end of the saga, just read the comic Terminator Salvation the Final Battle
Can Marvelous Videos Talk About Robocop, please?
We already did about Omni-Corp, the creators of Robcop and other monstrosities! Check our library :)
Your move Creep😂
Considering all the possible timelines and realities, I wonder if there’s one where humanity realizes skynet has become self aware and tries to reason with it to prevent a war in the first place.
Awesome video
Yeah that video on the diffrent terminator variants sounds good
0:07 always wondered what, if any model Skynet was trying to mimic when “she” “showed her true colors”.
Fun Fact, in real world, SkyNet is made in China. It only needs to be activated.
I liked Salvation mostly because Sarah prepared John for a future war talked about by Kyle and her own experiences, and the changes they done to keep Judgement Day from happening change the outcome so much that by the time after Judgement Day it wasn't the war he was trained for
Very thorough I like it but why does no video about the Terminator saga ever include anything about Sarah Connor Chronicles? It really probably is the best and deepest
The T-1000 was so powerful, Skynet itself was afraid of it. They've only created tenT-1000's according data I remember reading long ago.
Can’t thank you enough for this video.
After watching skynet's terminator models the T-600, T-800, T-850 & T-1000 [ Arnold Skin ] are my favourites now.
Is the terminator franchise a predestination paradox?
All terminator movies are badass, especially the last one!!!
We can automate as much as we want. All we have to do is control the on off switch. (Power)
Aside from skynet their is also ultron and brainiac, who also serve as examples what happens when people put to much trust in A.I..
We have skynet being created now
They created all that and forgot about a simple off switch.
Remember in T2 when the T-800 loses his arm in the smelting factory. It was never shown to be crushed.
What most people forget, that skynet is not a "computer" as many times shown. It is AI software, made by humans. Later (Terminator 3 movie) you can see how fast this software is evolving and at the same time overwrites the entire code and becomes "imune" against human actions. Also the Terminator T-X (from the future) accelerates the entire process with her "Virus".
sry 4 my english
The organization that created Skynet.
Cyberdine Systems vs Weyland-Yutani Corporation is the battle we need
the real cyberdyne and skynet must already made real terminators
Skynet fears T-1000 the same way Humans fear Skynet.
Awesome, do more Terminator stuff
My cousin Sum Dum Ho in Vietnam loves the Terminator.
Bros comment history 💀
The T808 would have sounded fantastic
I’d love the next movie to focus on the emergence of the singularity
Thst frame where cyborgs dad is standing their lookin at that arm in the beginning tripped me out, it funny he played the character he did and wad in thag scene in terminator and then all these years later he plays in the justicr league on a very similar character
There were also a series of novels in the Terminator universe that I think follows Sara and John Conner and his girlfriend that leads up to when Skynet becomes self aware.
When Robert Brewster was talking to his boss on the phone, I believe that it wasn’t really his boss but instead it was a terminator that had imitated his boss’s voice after it killed him
Artificial intelligence doesn't have an ego, a super ego or id. The terminator and skynet might be what we expect if machines start thinking for themselves but Marvin the paranoid android might be what we end up with however if you don't want to end up in the matrix keep an eye out for the M.C.P. (Master Control Program from the first Tron).
Dark fate ruined the franchise
😊Open AI is the Skynet. It is coming😮
I always thought of cyberdyne and skynet as an inevitable evolution of our own ego and greed. That’s why judgement day was unstoppable once a certain point was crossed.
We know good and well that technology as advanced as cybernetic organisms would be used as a means to create war. We could think we would be in control but any intelligence artificial or otherwise evolves and interprets differently over time.
One thing that I learned about Terminator, if you known nothing about time paradox, not do a whole franchise about it, because you end stuck in an never ending cycle if you want to write sequels, because by the end of the day it wont make sense, at least The Matrix mitigate this problem, with the simulation set in the past and the real world in the wasteland that is the future, you could write many stories in this settings because there is no actual time travel.
Where does the footage of Cyberdyne Systems come from?
I've seen all the Terminator films and have never seen the footage of the CS logo and the guys examining the chip in the factory presented in this video between 1:43 - 2:05.
Those are deleted scenes; The Terminator has a lot of them, and the great news is that you can see most or all of them on TH-cam. Enjoy!
