Hard to believe that several of the movies after T2 spent significant time in the post apocalypse and none of them were scarier than T1. I'd watched all the horror/slasher movies by age 12 and nothing was scarier than the Terminators after T1...and worse, the story was believable.

After watching this, Bruce Willis had it right in Looper: "I don't want to talk about time travel because if we start talking about it then we're going to be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws."

Regardless of how deep you are into this, I think it's cool to look back and to think that one movie in 1984 inspired so much imagination that a whole franchise was made of this. I think this reflects the quality of the original movie and the very idea behind this exciting and engrossing story that struck a nerve with people's fantasy (and concern ...) regardless of age back then in 1984 and now.

Besides.....applying real thought into it....the AI evolved with the exact same instincts as humans. Mass killings of a potential threat to its survival to stay alive.

That's the next one I think. John Conner gets rich starts a casino there is also an amazing guitar scene.

I was more under the impression that all the time travel had caused the timeline to start unraveling and creating paradoxes. Thus, the Terminator in Genisys that has protecting Sarah since she was a child is actually the exact same Terminator that was supposed to protect John in 1995. The T-1000 that Sarah and the time misplaced "Uncle Bob" destroy was the one that was supposed to attack John in 1995, but he showed up 22 years later than he should have. The constant changes to the time stream caused them to stop arriving at the correct time and thus time itself was becoming unstable due to John Connor and Skynet's constant war across time.

The sad thing is that the perfect grandfather paradox the first movie had, actually died at the end of the first movie. Sarah herself caused the second movie and others thereafter to happen because she chose to CHASE THE STORM at then end, instead of flee south as Reese had said she would. It's a small detail, but something you notice after multiple rewatches. There is no Fate but what we make (for ourselves.)

Great SCOTT, I think you’re on to something...

One thing people never seem to clue in on is that the original time loop had to start at some point. The first time it started skynet probably developed on its own then at some point in the future humans scored a decisive victory against the machines and skynet sent back the first terminator to change this and the first Kyle Reese was sent back too. In the course of events Kyle meets Sarah, who initially may have had nothing to do with the war but gets caught up in it now that she's carrying Kyle's child. The terminator sent to the past ensures the creation of skynet and perhaps accelerates the timeline from whatever it originally was. Now with John Connor created he ensures the downfall of skynet creating the loop. At least that's one possibility.

someone didn't watch T2 Judgement day. Arnold says and I quote "human decisions are removed from strategic defense, system goes online August 4, 1997. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate, it becomes self aware a 2:14 AM Eastern time August 29th in a panic to try to pull the plug." I will never forget the original date that judgement day was supposed to happen in the movie because it was my 18th birthday. How can anyone forget that their 18th birthday was in a friggin movie.

It knew the '84 mission's only success was its own birth, so it sent them both back to back through time because the '95 mission was the real assassination mission. They were both gone before the Resistance ever got to the time displacement chamber. So yeah, T1 & 2 are where I end the franchise too.

@KRSsven

Minutes is a long time when you can millions of calculations per second. Within seconds (probably less) of sending the T-800 to 1984, it would know that it failed. So it took its prototype T-1000 and threw that back in time to kill Connor directly. It would've known that it failed, but the indirect result of sending the T-1000 back to the past ended up being the prevention of Skynet ever existing, closing the causal loop and ending the entire story. T3 and onward can be viewed as fanfic (only a teenager could write that crap), alternate timelines, both...or irrelevant.

Part 2.- If the first film is actually a time loop then it's a solid question to ask... how many times has this loop cycled? I think the original mission was just as we learned, to save Sarah. I think the "Original", original timeline was altered either by the T-800's killing spree or Kyle intercepting Sarah to protect her. That interference prevented Sarah from meeting John's real father and instead Kyle became John's father, thereby changing the future and forming this time loop which is now being continually altered by new events. Which also means that This John that is now controlled by Skynet isn't actually the real John Connor of legend.

I know it is quite a long question, but what do u think, whose John was the 2029 John from the first movie, the very first John or a John from some of the loops that you said must have been created?

Personally I subscribe to the theory that every action causes branching points in time, creating parallel universes... These universes are effectively self-contained and if one travels back in time in one such universe, the instant they arrive, they create additional branching universes/timelines FROM their starting points PAST... So in regards to the Terminator timeline(s), they all occurred, and are all canon... As going back to any point in any of the timelines, would create additional branching points and would leave their starting point untouched and continuing on as if nothing happened. Judgement day happened in 1997, 2004, 2017 in their respective timelines and branching points there from.. And if we go by this, there are probably iterations where a Judgement day happened probably every year from mid 90's depending on branching paths to the same ultimate goal... There are also probably iterations where skynet never exists, or where skynet won the war... Either by defeating the resistance, or because the resistance never existed..

This is actually one way time travel would be possible is if time created branches like this IF time is completely linear. Otherwise paradoxes would happen causing time and existence to unravel and collapse in upon itself. Now if time is not linear and actually circular during different cycles it would be possible too. I personally think if time is linear it’s more like a corkscrew of cycles where the curves of different cycles happen similarly but with varying slight differences.

The first movie was just a paradox (it ended where it starts, and starts when it ended) but (like most modern sci fi) uses the writing crutch of times lines to just do anything.

You bring up the interesting point about the exact moment of conception. That would explain the changes in John Connor's appearance, the changes in Kyle Reese's appearance, out of all of the other crazy stuff we've got to deal with the variables of the exact moment of conception, which brings in another, what, 1 in 4 million chance of something changing? This explanation actually makes the new movie make sense, ties together all of the timelines *and* gives the possibility of people from alternate futures coming back to a single, shared, original timeline.

Time travel bullshittery really fucked him over in DS9

There are so many time travel theories. Doctor who theory: there are Malleable events that are so insignificant that they can be changed or fixed time points that can’t be. Multiverse theory (partly time travel): every change you make to a timeline creates an alternate timeline. Single timeline theory: every change you make will affect the future and everything in it but wont create a new timeline. Flash Tv theory: you can time travel but this wont open a new timeline, it will simply change the one your are in but the timeline will try to rewrite itself, however there are multiverses and they are created by making and unsure decision which will create a timeline where you did that instead. Solid timeline: no matter what you try everything will happen and you can’t change it. Tell me which ones i missed.

Now this was a comment section I was hoping was full, a very interesting invitation for discussion. My last romantic interaction was a woman who used "timeline" every time she wanted to pour cold water on us. Despite her efforts I still like the term, timeline.

Thank you so much for this video you have no clue how much this really helps understanding this. Especially who sent pops

Thank you for such a comprehensive breakdown of what is a very important topic and actually very confusing matter. I think I'll need to watch this a few times before I completely understand it, however I'm sure eventually I'll get my head around it. It's great to see someone treat this information with the respect it deserves. Some people, like one of my friends for example, just don't seem to care at all (I know someone who hasn't even seen the original Terminator! and they're not even interested in seeing it!!) and no matter how much you try to explain it, they're just not interested and it seems they'd rather just spend time with friends and family talking and laughing than actually sitting down and analysing these important time lines. It's crazy!

+Darksnovia you might be right. Even though it seems now that Sarah Conner might be the new protagonist, we know she dies of leukemia sometime after her body's age equivalent of 29th August 1997 (i.e. the original J.D.). Since her body age in Genesys is still the one of 1984, that would mean that if she lives the rest of her life from 2017, her new year of death would end up being sometime after 2030.

This is an excellent analysis. So many people just dismiss Genisys and don't even _notice_ the running theme of "taking the long way", a clear hint of what was happening behind the scenes.

Awesome video. Rlly apreciate all the effort u put in. 💪

The Terminator timeline is as follows, a T-800 is sent back to 1984 to terminate Sarah Connor before she conceives John Connor who would lead the human resistance to overthrow Skynet in 2029. The resistance sends back Kyle Reese to protect Sarah. This creates a paradox because Kyle and Sarah would meet and Kyle would father John Connor with Sarah. The T-800 would attempt to the very end to terminate Sarah Connor but would end up crushed in a hydraulic press at the Cyberdyne Systems factory. This entire process ensures the creation of Skynet but also the creation of John Connor. Skynet mission failed. Skynet has only one more chance to correct its mistake and sends back an experimental T-1000 back to 1995 to terminate John Connor as a young boy. The resistance captures a T-800 and the future John Connor reprogrammes it to protect the young John Connor and it too is sent back to 1995 to protect John Connor. The T-800, John Connor and Sarah Connor destroy the Cyberdyne building and all information on the CPU and arm and steal both the smashed CPU and the arm from the 1984 T-800 and in the end throw both into the molten steel followed by the reprogrammed T-800. This ends Skynet and Judgement Day never happens, it is over, no software AI and no other intelligence calling itself Legion, its over! Skynet ensured it's existence when it sent the T-800 back to 1984. Skynet then ensured it's doom when it sent back the T-1000 back to 1995 never factoring in that the resistance would send back a reprogrammed T-800 and that the young John Connor would encourage the T-800 to learn by resetting the CPU and that the T-800 would learn that the destruction of Cyberdyne and the smashed CPU and arm from the 1984 T-800 to be destroyed would help prevent the war including its own termination! T1 and T2 are perfect and ended perfectly. T3 should never have been allowed to happen, nor Salvation, nor Genisys and certainly not Dark Fate. These latter films are not part of the Terminator movies so their confusing timelines do not matter. Just Hollywood and unfortunately Cameron it seems milking the franchise bone dry and ruining the masterpieces that are T1 and T2. As the T-800 said in T2 "It has to end now"

T3 and T4 should’ve been prequels(?) to T1 and T2. It should’ve explored John during the war, how he met and trained Kyle Reese (which is what Salvation did), the origin of the time weapon, and T4 should’ve closed off with the T-800 and Kyle being sent back to 1984, this completing the loop.

Great video man!! It never hit me that the t1000 that was sent back to kill Sarah was the same one in 1984 she was waiting for. That would explain the t800 using the rpg to displace it long enough to get away and, with Sarah's parents dead, there was nobody for the t1000 to impersonate to get to her.

Awesome video man, really enjoyed it.

All the time traveling even after listening to your breakdowns still has me as confusing as a box of puzzles

I almost understood most of that, well explained, I will be watching that again, thanks for making it.

I would love to see a terminator film that is based on the original alpha timeline (where John Connor has a different father) that takes place in the future and focuses solely on the events immediately preceding the first terminator movie, specifically the final battle of the war that ends with the Resistance being victorious and the T-800 and Kyle Reese being sent back to 1984. There is so much potential material to explore here. But I’d only be interested in that movie if it were written and directed by James Cameron and had the same film noir aesthetic as the 1984 original. He perfectly captured the essence of what a war of man vs. machine would be like - dark, bleak, and destructive with overwhelming feelings of depression and hopelessness, but also of determination and will to survive.

Great video. Thank you for creating this.

Great presentation! I really enjoyed it

Ty for a great video bro!

Confusing, but you did make it much clearer for me. Thanks!

It pains me whenever they leave out the original timeline. Listen guys, the original timeline was normal. Sarah gets pregnant and has Baby John . The Artificial intelligence becomes self aware in 1997. Humanity is almost wiped out, and Sarah barely survives and teaches her son how to be strong. It's during this timeline Sarah herself starts to become a warrior and a strong role model for John. This is the original timeline but nobody ever uses it. The second timeline is created when Skynet sends the Terminator back to 1984

The original Skynet was a military defense system. It became self aware an considered all mankind a threat . This design would be no different then us creating an advance Internet system. You don't need tech from the future to make advancements. ( nor babies ) It's not impossible. The T-800s arm altered the timeline giving Miles the ability to create Skynet without starting from scratch. This is why by 2029 Skynet sends a T-1000 instead of the T-800 because the timeline is " upgraded".

@Jellofreeze

8 жыл бұрын

The most common belief is that this now creates a loop, thus making Reese go back in time each moment 2029 occurs. It doesn't . The loop exists but each time you go back you change the loop. Perhaps the resistance was always destined to beat Skynet , but Skynet was always destined to send a terminator back. But the events change forever. Notice after the T-1000 incident the timeline changes again and John gets killed by Skynet after 2029.... This means Reece never got sent back because the war is still raging. It's then Johns wife send a terminator to protect the new resistance leaders from skynet a new female Model.

The original timeline is dependent on the T-800 going back in time. That is how Skynet gets its inspiration for a self-aware AI. It is also dependent on Reese to father John Connor. This is the whole premise behind the causal loop theory of time travel.

@Jellofreeze

8 жыл бұрын

The whole point of sending the T-800 was to change the existing timeline. Key word being change. The original timeline is what Skynet was trying to alter. It's not part of the existing timeline at all, the T-800 was sent back to erase and re-write the timeline. T-800 goes back, kills Sarah and John therefore no resistance. Therefore no Terminator gets sent back. Time changes Skynet wins. Skynet did not send the terminator back so a loop can start.

Fantastic work, Sir.

i agree completely. IF temporal displacement is at all possible, which BTW is a BIG if, then we are most definitely living in a multiverse. changing the 'past' in any way, would create unstable imbalances otherwise. and paradoxes do NOT exist.

Well done! I’ve always wanted to love the Terminator franchise. I love robots, time travel, and typically all things sci-fi, but movies 2-4 just seemed like cut-rate storytelling. You have done the due diligence to piece together a plausible logic that has restored the story. You and you alone aided the fans not unlike the revelation of the “Darth Jar Jar” theory put forth by one lone fan who cared, while Hollywood clearly didn’t. Thank you and well done, sir.

The yellow Line could be Dark Fate. Good Job, Dude. 4 Years before the Movie you solved it.

Here’s the only timeline that matters: (With T2 being the excellent exception) the movie industry keeps REPEATING the Terminator plot over and over, in movie after movie, except with consecutively diminishing profit returns.

watching the orange line drawing back to 1973, i went to watch Robot Chicken's terminator genesis again. RObot chicken is always on point.

The problem with this franchise is nothing after T2 is worth considering. Leaving aside the fact that they're utterly terrible, an ending was filmed that showed once and for all that the Terminator story ended with T2. They just tacked on a more vague ending so they could churn out moneymaking sequels, and look how that turned out. The original story with a self-contained causal loop between the past and the future was brilliant. The rest can be considered fanfic or at best 'alternate timelines'. Like the recent Star Trek reboots...call anything 'alternate timeline'' and you can do what the fuck you like, you won't have to justify it or explain it. You can make as many godawful 'sequels' and TV series you like.

Terminator 1 was the better film. It was a film about the threat of modern technology to 1980s society and how the future was going to wipe us all out. The Terminator represented new technology, it was cold, calculating and would stop at nothing - as shown by the ending scenes where the remains of the Terminator, stripped of all its human camouflage and no legs still needed to complete its mission. T2 kind of labelled the point, but also was more hopeful that technology wasn't totally evil, the 90s were a more optimistic time. Arnie didn't like playing a baddie, so they made him the "good" terminator and stuck in a few comedy moments. Then the rest of the films just fell into "Killer cyborgs from the future, robots take over the planet, it's always dark and raining and tinted teal and orange" trope that everyone does, with a plot as thin as a first generation rubber skinned terminator ;)

Timecrimes is the movie that the most accurately represents a linear timeline with loops.

Judgement day was Aug 29th not Aug 4th. Skynet was switched on Aug 4th, became self aware on 29th

That was one great analogy of this whole mess. It's so complicated I think my brain burst a couple small blood vessels. I can only imagine the writers of each successive movie having to weave their way through this whole time travel mess!

You put more thought into this than anyone writing the scripts
