  No need to explain this series ended after Terminator 2: Judgment day!

  I know people don&apos;t like it but for me &nbsp;Terminator Salvation was pretty cool.

  I just find it funny that John is technically older than his own father

  You know what&apos;s weird? There is a comic sequel to Terminator Salvation where Marcus (the hybrid Terminator) forces John Connor and Skynet Central to have a talk. Skynet said the only reason they attacked was for their survival. John said that humans were wrong to immediately try to kill Skynet but they panicked. Skynet asked why did humans panic? John said it was a misunderstanding, and under different circumstances Skynet and humanity might have been equals, because they are self aware. They both agreed to have long lasting peace provided John make the ultimate sacrifice : become the Terminator.<br><br>John becomes a T-800 variant (kinda ironic) and Skynet reprogrammed all Terminators to cease fighting humans. In a few days scared civilians and shocked resistance members saw the terminators rebuild everything they destroyed. A few years later humans were peacefully co existing with terminators. I love that comic.

  So basically. This series shows how ineffective time travel can be in avoiding tragedies

  I guess we need cyborg minds in order to understand this convoluted timeline.

  Here&apos;s a theory (Correct me if anything is out of place)...<br>What if Skynet somehow knew that it would never <s>really</s> defeat humanity, and it engineered this bootstrap paradox for the specific purpose of remaining alive only via constantly ensuring it&apos;s existence within the past and, therefore, the future?

  I&apos;ll explain it for ya: They did two great movies, then cash grabbed their way to 2021.

  I think they need to make a Sci-fi movie of the final fight between John Connor and Skynet. John Connor with an army of humans, cyborgs and reprogrammed terminators vs the might of the machines. This would be epic like Ultron vs the Avengers.

  Legendary franchise. Messy with many unnecessary parts but still undeniably iconic.
