Judgement Day
Recently, people have been referencing the Judgement Day that took place in the Terminator Universe, but simply put, they are wrong.
- Judgement Day happened in August 29, 1997.
- That date has never changed because there has never been a sequel which decided to change that date.
- A TV series based in the universe wouldn’t dare change the date a second time just to set it in present day, because that’s just the stupidest idea ever.
tl;dr Terminator 3 is the worst film in history.
The Terminator is Death. It can’t be defeated, only postponed.
In the first movie: the Terminator comes to kill Sarah Connor before she can reproduce: the only way for a part of her to avoid Death. The Terminator is defeated only after Sarah Connor is impregnated.
In Terminator 2: Death returns for Sarah Connor’s offspring, despite her best efforts to protect him. John must accept his own mortality by sacrificing his own protection from Death, bringing John into adulthood.
In Terminator 3: John Connor teams up with a potential mate, but realizes that he cannot defeat Death, and embraces it instead. It’s the least popular movie because it rejects the wish-fulfilment endings of the first two and embraces the reality that the future is set: everyone will die eventually.
In Terminator: Salvation, McG has Batman fight Transformers.

It’s safe to read without watching to latest film, don’t worry.
