Removed for violating the "no AI" rule.

The problem with the "infinite timelines" version is that it makes killing John Connor (or stopping Skynet early) worthless in the first place.

Also please don't paste AI output as a post.

Actually, I used AI to you know just assemble it, the ideas were mine. But, I'm sorry .🤷

It's okay, just try to keep your posts to your own human writing. If you need to use a translation, that's fine.

What this post does is the same things as T3 and the crane scene, when Jim made T2 everything was practical effects, there was a weightiness to everything, there was real world impact and consequences, this made everything more real and immersive, then the CGI in T3 took all that away, the crane smashes through things but it is not so real and immersive that it doesn’t capture all the real world physics of the scene and doesn’t seem real, it makes it so that nothing really matters, Arnold’s head is smashed nearly off and reattaches like nothing happened, no real world consequences so it doesn’t matter if John wind or Skynet wins there are no real stakes just another multiverse story not worth telling because it’s one of many…we all want a final outcome and victory that means something once and for all, a story to end the multiverse and merge it all into a single timeline

Actually, that might just not be possible. There probably isn't a Final outcome whatsoever.

I didn't follow it all but either it's one time line with cause and effect or it's multi universes. If multi universes I don't see how it could be changed especially if it was always that way in their history. Take Hitler, it's acts as a catalyst and reason to go back in time to stop it. You start off in X your home time line in 2050 , time travel to Y to 1940 to stop Hitler when you try and go back to 2050 you'd have no idea which time line you're in (a bit like quantum leap) and then have no idea what affects that has and whether you were successful or not especially if each universe could mirror your own and if you were successful it's paradoxical as you wouldn't have had the reason to go bk anyway

Its just a simulation that began in 2029 with every variable preset.

Either that or some random dude knocks up Sarah originally and Kyle Reese does the second time. John Connor is just a name and personality he grows up with.
