You really expect me to believe humanity would be able to defeat millions of these fucking things? Not a chance in hell

John Connor, initials = JC
the savior of humanity

woah dude

wouldn't these things rust like crazy near the ocean after a few years? Just hide on the coastline and let nature do the heavy lifting. Especially in sandy areas, any kind of protective finish would be blasted away from sand in the wind, and grinding around in all those joints. Not to mention that any kind of heavy rain and all those exposed electronics are getting fucked up and shorting out.

Would peeing on them short the electronics?

Wouldn't hurt

That's some nice circuits you fellas got there. Would be a shame if this EMP device got activated

what is an EMP

What do robots need teeth for?

biting people if their arms are strapped down?

They were actually easy as fuck to defeat because they have no armour panels that can stand up to a phased plasma rifle. The point of that scene was to show that Skynet was losing so hard that it had to put everything in the field to try and stop the Resistance, even the units that were made for infiltration. The terminator units are only threats to unarmed malnourished civilians and people of the past where they don't have the weaponry that the Resistance had. Skynet normally used the Hunter-Killer tanks and drones of various sizes to do the actual fighting against Resistance holdouts.

I imagine that's why they had to keep making new versions. Like your magical emp devices won't do shit to the liquid metal terminator

They had whatever plasma rifle in whatever range

This feels like headcanon.

Like your magical emp devices won't do shit to the liquid metal terminator

If anything it would be even more susceptible to an EMP than the older units, though? They could have their electronics shielded and the rest is metal and pistons, while the goop is just made up of millions of tiny blocks that only stay in shape because of electricity.

People often assume it's the most effective tactic to win a war by using aircraft, tanks, missiles and big guns to level every target.
If you want to just take out the people and leave the infrastructure intact, you have to send in human-sized terminators that can fit into and move inside human infrastructure.

Electromagnetic pulse, I won't go into the physics but essentially it causes most circuitry to experience a sudden spike in current which then shorts them, often damaging the components in the process. EMP is a side effect of nuclear detonations and can also be produced by specifically-made devices. I don't know of any which are in common military usage but should the need arise I'm sure they could be manufactured.

I doubt skynet could manufacture a million of them

Who said there were millions? Remember, Skynet destroyed the world's industrial base in its nuclear holocaust. The second it fired nukes it would have to begin taking over 100% of production all the way down to mining and handling shipping logistics.

EMP?

still no future resistance movie

Well in any case Skynet was losing, I don’t think they resorted to time travel just for fun.

fade in

it's some sort of encampment in a post-apocalyptic place

children play around

adults work on building houses and farming

an old and tired Arnold Schwazernegger appears

he walks robotically and barely talks

he helps in the farm and the children love him

we cut to two adults looking at him

"So, you feel safe with him around?"

"with Grandpa? Yeah, he wouldn't hurt a fly if it looked human"

"dunno... I still think one day he's gonna just wake up and *kwshh* us all"

"relax. This is a safe zone. We fought to liberate it. Now we can raise the next generation of fighters. Like John says, it's the most important job"

"you're right"

later that night

camp gets raided

it's fucking terminators

old Arnie tries to do something, but his killing instincts dont kick in

the terminators want him for some reason

John Connor played by Colin Farrell shows up

they kill all the terminators before they can get to him

Arnie is confused, scared

he looks at John, who gives him a warm smile, the one you give an old friend

"w-what is happening to me? what is this?"

Connor extends his hand

"Come with me if you want to live"

r8 my teaser trailer

they are primarily made to be infiltration units. you can't be inconspicuous with missing teeth

Do you know how to make one of those? Hell do you even know where to find one and how to use it? Keep in mind more than half the planet got cooked in the nuke war so unless you know how to make them in bulk emp is a cop out answer

There weren't millions. There were probably 10s of thousands at most. Remember they had to put humans in labor camps because they didn't have enough "manpower" to build what Skynet wanted

thats the beauty of it, takes a military tactical genius like John Connor to pull it off, Salvation was done terribly cause it didn't sell him as a leader and the casting sucked
not if they had flesh cocoons

Literally just use huge magnets. Think about it.

almost

finally get one set in the future

it follows a retarded half-terminator and has stupid giant terminators instead of hunter-killers

show future John for two seconds on T2

he looks like the leader of humanity, perfect casting

make future John one of the main characters in Genisys

cast a fat fuck who looks like a used car salesman

make a "twist" where he turns into a terminator

put the twist on the posters so there's no surprise when it happens

That wasn't even the worst casting in that movie, either. That would have to be Kyle Reese.

Terminator Resistance actually portrayed the Future War like fans always wanted. Better than any of the movies and actually given an appropriate length to slowly play out and allow you to get immersed and enjoy it. The neon purple, dark, apocalyptic aesthetic was perfect.

r8 my pitch:

present day

a trashy girl played by Moner or Cailee Spaeny is being picked up from juvie, again

she's a troubled kid, moved from foster home to foster home, dad is in jail, the usual

an old friend of her dad is coming to pick her up, he's been bailing her out for years now

he's played by Arnold, and is a very unassuming kind old man

his car is RAMMED by a big fucking truck

Henry Cavill steps out, he's the Terminator, and starts fucking shooting them

Arnie locks in and takes the girl out of there

they stop by the prison where her dad is. He's John Connor, played by Tom Hardy

the apocalypse never came so Sarah ended up raising a conspiracy nutjob who became obsessed with fighting tech companies, afraid one of them would be the one to do it

without a war to be a leader, John is just a weirdo who gets into fights and gets jailed a lot

Arnie is a Terminator sent in the late 90s after Sarah died, he stayed and is growing old

it's said that Arnie is the last machine they will be able to send, the resistance is losing the war and their time machine broke

John is a ripped paranoid soldier, essentially replacing his mother's role from T2

All 3 escape and prepare to fight

John can only conclude that Judgement Day has moved forward, and his daughter will now lead humanity

usual T2 shit happens

in the third act she gets captured by the terminator, who reveals she's not the future leader of mankind. She's a figher in the future, but she's made Connor soft, he now worries too much about her, like any parent he puts her life above mankind.

As a result, they are losing. So a rogue resistance faction sent the terminator to kill her and turn Connor into the hardened man they need to win.

Arnie and Cavill have a final brawl and both blow themselves up

As news of an impressive mega-AI being revealed to the world, called SkyNet, father and daughter hit the road to stop judgement day

This leads into a sequel where Cavill will be a good Terminator

His name is also a reference to John Carter, which Cameron ripped off for avatar.

I don't think anyone cares what you think

the resistance is losing the war and their time machine broke

Bullshit. From the very start it's been clear that Skynet only tries the time travel because it's hours away from losing and knows it. It's never going to win the future war.

Well, they couldn't defeat them, that's why they had to send people back in time to try to prevent them.
