| Topic | Do they explain why the T-800 looks older in the new Terminator movies? |
| ParanoidObsessive 10/29/19 7:34:56 PM #19: | GEKGanon posted... There aren't separate timelines, there is no John A, B, or C; it is one jacked up loop. That's what it means to be a paradox. John only exists to send Kyle back because Kyle went back to father him in the first place. The entire reason Kyle has the photo of Sarah and is the one chosen by John to be sent back in time is because John already knows from Sarah that Kyle is his father, there is no unknown father. Which, again, asks the question, how did the loop begin in the first place? How can John Connor send Kyle Reese back to become his father before he exists in the first place to send Kyle Reese back? And if it IS an ontologically stable time loop with no beginning and no end, then how could they alter events at all in T2, when literally everything they did should have been part of a preexisting stable time loop that couldn't be broken, because that's how ontological paradoxes work? And like it or not, Cameron's explicitly said that multiple timelines exist in the Terminator films, which gives rise to this sort of thinking in the first place. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
