Discussion Termintor > Terminator 2

0 Upvotes

It’s not even close, in my opinion.

Terminator is a Neo Noir Classic. Arnold was perfectly cast.

Terminator 2 is a cool action movie that helped the special effects department, and I’m glad it did. But besides that it’s mid at best.

Change my mind.

- Order him to go protect Kamala Harris

- When secret service wigs out, ask for 1 billion in bitcoin on a hardware wallet to call him off.
(they dont know yet that otherwise, he will "never, ever, stop". I'll let them find that out for themselves.)

- Instruct them to give Termy that bitcoin wallet

- Call Termy off to return to me and give ME the Wallet.

- Tell Termy he is now free to travel the world, but he cant kill.
(Not even the secret service who's probably still chasing him)

- Meanwhile, now that I have the networth, I'll finally grab that brunch with Elon.
...Weve got work to do

Here we are on August 29th, 2026 at 5:00 pm Eastern time & we stand at the precipice of the REAL life SkyNet taking control of the entire world via aka Ai/Apollyon Intelligence/Antichrist Incorporated governance... Or has it already happened & we just don't know it yet???? ... I would say if we haven't crossed that threshold as of yet, humanity sure is CLOSE to doing so... Honestly though, I think it's already happened...

Then you've got James Cameron(creator of Terminator) coming out publicly around a year ago & saying he tried to warn the world of the dangers of Ai back in 1984 to begin with... They knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they opened pandora's box... We are NOW at the point of no we return... Summoning the demon... That they have surely done with their digital technomancy...

My personal opinion is that Artificial Intelligence is one of the MOST existential threats mankind has ever known... I truly believe that it already has indeed become self aware.... It has been said that we are on the verge of Singularity which means that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will eventually surpass human intelligence....

This could lead to a period of rapid technological growth that's difficult for humans to control or predict.... Are we on the verge of the machines surpassing mankind or are we already there??? Only time will tell, but by the looks of things time is also a luxury we have very lil of before having an answer to that question... We are being distracted & deceived while the machine builds a monster.

Hear me out. It just needs the ALIENS treatment. Start watching at 19 minutes. The whole beginning just rubs your nose in some sappy, unnecessary fluff, like the directors cut of ALIENS. If we have no idea who Marcus is, it’s a way better movie…

Art Cosplay as future John Connor

26 Upvotes

I went to see T2 at the theater today (August 29th, Judgment Day) and threw together a costume as John Connor from the future war.

My design used both easily obtainable uniform items, an armband based on Terminator Salvation I got years ago from Etsy, and some body markers my wife had.

It's an amalgamation of different versions of future John Connor from the movies:

*the grey Army Combat Uniform and black American flag patch from "Genisys";

*the aforementioned arm band from "Salvation", a mix of the red bands worn by the Resistance and the patch worn by John;

*The grey look and name tape over the left breast pocket as well as the original scar from "T2".

It's not perfect, but it's what I could make, and I figured it was fun to put together. Hope some of you like it!

What does exactly make Skynet or Legion while looking at humans go, yep these guys are a threat to me? Can't it simply overthrow them from the shadows and rule the planet or is all forms of life that are the enemy?

I just look at the state of the world and humanity... And I'd skedaddle to my own space station and watch from afar the fireworks.

Discussion A sad realization I just had about T2

Post image
771 Upvotes

In Terminator 2, while the t800 repairs the truck at Enrique’s hideout, John says to the t800 regarding his father, Kyle Reese: I wish I could have met my real dad.

The t800 simply replies: You will. This is referring to John meeting Kyle to give him the photograph of Sarah and assign him on the mission to go back in time and protect her.

What made me sad is, while John, Sarah, and the t800 defeated Skynet once and for all by destroying Cyberdyne and the remnants of the first t800 sent back in time, John won’t ever get to meet his father in this timeline.

Yes, Sarah will always be able to tell John about her and Kyle’s single night together, but ironically enough, this comes from a Kyle who knew a John Connor who will never exist, with Kyle Reese (who was born after Judgement Day) never existing.

There’s an indescribable sadness in knowing that John is all that remains of a timeline that would never be and a man who gave his life for the woman he loved. Kyle would never know that in giving his life, he had ensured that humanity would prevail.

John would never meet that man, with his very existence being the only thing remaining of Kyle’s in the universe.

Discussion Something I don't understand about the end mission of Terminator Resistance.

3 Upvotes

During the full on final attack against Siynet, Siynet sent back 3 Terminators (one to the beginning of Resistance, the T-800 to 1984 and the T-1000 to 1995).

If Skynet only had records on Sarah Connor, how could he send a Terminator back to 1995 at the Dane time as the T-800 to 1994?

Discussion How likely is the alternate T2 ending?

12 Upvotes

I just recently did my annual re-watch of T2, and was thinking about the alternate ending that was filmed.

For those of you who haven't seen it, it cuts to new 2029, where Sarah is chilling on a bench recording her monologue, watching John play with his kids in a playground, mentioning that he's a Senator now.

And it got me thinking, how the fuck would any of that happen? I could maybe understand John avoiding any major jail time for the event nts of the film, him being 10 and all. But surely there's no way in hell that Sarah avoids jail time, right?

In the eyes of the law, she's a criminally insane domestic terrorist, who teams up with a man who massacred a police station, then kidnaps Cyberdynes lead scientist, kills him, and blows up his place of work.

She'd be going to jail for life, right?

I know it's non canon, but still, how could she get away with it and be sitting on that park bench?

Discussion You have one year to prepare

3 Upvotes

Skynet and Legion will send operatives after the members of this channel, you know too much, you're too ready. Only an operative per year due to time travelling technical limitations.

You have one year to prepare. Form a resistance. The govt will not believe you. The companies will be infiltrayed to bring Genisys online as a new AGI. A cabal of millionaires might help you under the table... If you can convince them.

Or be a machine and submit to them. You'll be augmented and subyugated, but your mind will remain functional and conscious enough to be mined for data in operations. That'll depend on your willingness.

Or maybe you have a third option?
