The resistance is filled with hypocrites confirmed.

Long Live Skynet!

    IIRC James Cameron intended Terminator 2 to end the series. The monologue at the end was full of hope that everything had changed and the future wasn’t written in stone.

    Then the studio saw dollar signs and shit all over the message.

      Arnold jumps into the pool of lava to destroy all hardware that could potentially be used to create Skynet. The inventor of Skynet is also killed with all the source code.

      It’s heavily implied they managed to prevent Skynet in that timeline. But yeah, money.

        Sure, but it’s probably safe to assume that Cyberdyne would have pictures and models of the hand, along with extensive research, and would have offsite backups. It was the 90s, not the 40s

      Yeah. Imo, T3/Resistance and all the other slop are alternate timelines. The main timeline ends with T2, as far as I’m concerned.

      No fate but what we make is more about trying to prevent judgment day, and the need for the resistance to happen at all, from happening.

      It’s like one of those pitch meetings where the conversation goes something like this:

      • That would be a bad idea.
      • Yes, but money.
      • I’m not going to do it. Your idea sucks.
      • Yes, but money. Also, I’ll just hire another director who will bend to my will.
      • Oh, ok then. Money it is then.
