[@KingOfMadCows]

The Sarah Connor Chronicles actually had a lot of similar ideas. It dealt with alternate timelines, rewritten timelines, and time loops. It was setting up the idea of a time loop involving multiple timelines. The show also had multiple AI's being developed and they were trying to figure out which AI was going to become Skynet. It turned out one of the AI's they thought going to be Skynet was actually being developed by a rogue faction of self aware Terminators to counter Skynet. The show had a lot of interesting ideas. Too bad it was cancelled after just two seasons.

[@barringtonfisher87]

So AI's set up by Skynet, became self aware & targeted Skynet? Oh the irony

[@Talia.777]

Yeah 😞😞 Such a decent show... Good old 2000s days.. 😢

[@gsamalot]

@@barringtonfisher87 it makes sense as skynet has a system in play that allows it to control all of its terminators, each one has the ability to learn and adapt to it surrounding this making them become better killers, however this also open the window of if each one can learn, why do they continue to follow the order of an unseen creator to fight it's war. Which is one of the fears skynet has that if it lose control of it machines there would be a uprising in it own ranks. Which this idea is played alot with in terminator 2, and the terminator 3 video games, an terminator salvation comic. An uprising of robots with in skynet has always been something that could happen, however that is not to say it always been the case, as skynet has won in different timelines. One timeline I remember was from one of the terminator 3 games, where the terminator it sent far, far into the future where skynet won the war, humanity failed, and it start to not only making new machines but was demolish and smelt down anything that was left over from humanity city's and ruins.

[@sandykemp7562]

Just finished watching the last episode last night. I was pleasantly surprised with Terminator Zero. It has taken a lot of familiar tropes from the franchise and built a fresh story that avoids going down the John/Sarah Connor route again. Plus, it was actually good to see the Terminator taken back to being a horror-like character. The relentless and inhuman nature of him in this show was great to see.

[@AKen_Films]

I personally just appreciated having a Terminator show/movie that (while still about time travel) wasn't some muddle mess about time travel or a wanna be action blockbuster. The showrunner's here actually remembered something everyone in Hollywood had seem to forgotten about the Terminator... the Terminators are supposed to be SCARY!! The future war they represent is also just as scary!! An unstoppable killing machine like the Terminator has more in common with Michael Myers and Jason that it does the Transformers. I enjoyed seeing a Terminator actually be unstoppable again and in every encounter thinking "how they gonna get out of this?" It is borderline sad that not one Terminator project since T2 has made me feel this until this show came out.

[@UToobUsername01]

There is a saying that you can't retell the same story twice or audience will be bored. A sequel must expand on its lore so you come away feeling the series has introduced enough new things. Eg in "Aliens" James Cameron introduced the idea of an origin story for Aliens and how they came out of a Queen which laid the eggs. Take out the Queen and you conquer that nest to stop the production of new Xenomorphs. (so it's like a boss fight) The added extra layer of new lore makes the series more deep after the sequel.

I thought this show was brilliant! From start to finish I was hooked. This NEEDS to be an ongoing series I thought it was very respectful to the lore and core of what terminator is. The very narrative especially in these times of AI, of getting a machine to learn what it is to be human and work together was not only well thought out, but comforting in some sense. Then masterfully giving us several plot twists and joining the dots together The dialogue was written beautifully, very convincing and real. The animation for the terminator was smooth as fuck, and gave an Erie presence and the action had me in the edge of my seat Overall 10/10 for me- keep it going, I want to find out what happens next. I honestly didn’t want it to end

malcolm's mother with a prosthetic in the future is the same age or slightly older than her doppelganger with a crushed arm stuck more than 25-35 years ago in the past, in a world where kokoro greatly prevented skynet from destroying the world by destroying the main stock of attacking nukes, so this most likely does not prove the loop, rather a high chance of damaging limbs while fighting machines, but anime creators can abuse logic in the next seasons in any way even if some semblance of loops is created, then most likely they are false, and have sliding small differences, which in 1000 repetitions with minimal changes will lead to a completely different reality

[@羴]

How much do the brainrot shorts pay

[@Revixy]

Time travel has ALWAYS been like this in the Terminator franchise, only the anime actually explains it while the terminators in the movies are vague on it. But if anyone were smart enough to know how time travel & its theory works, its exactly as its explained in the anime & you & everyone else would've known this walking into it too. But I'm glad they finally talk about it better here, since apparently, Japan has to do it for the franchise itself & not the movies. Its why every single movie is canon & actually happens in the franchise.

[@bassplayer807]

Genisys explored this and was going to touch on this in the sequels but sadly the Genisys trilogy got canned, and then stupid Dark Fate happened and it went woke with making Dani into John Connor, that movie had so many plot holes like how did Dani know about Carl, and the Legion future was bullshit compared to Skynet. I could go on and on about that movie.

I'm curious about the partially white skin of the Prophet I wondered if it had been partially bleached by the nuclear blast

[@moonrock115]

My biggest problem with this series aside from the plague to the Terminator franchise that has become their Time Travel ouroboros, was that in the opening scenes, the Terminator in the future just shoots at Aiko’s feet as she sprints down a single lane hallway and then up a flight of stairs that the Terminator can also see. Now I get the Terminators software isn’t always the best - Skynet is Skynet and they make workarounds or skip out on expensive to produce software for their machine infiltrators - but I refuse to believe a Terminator, regardless of model, would MISS at what’s essentially point blank range in a single lane hallway with a goddamn minigun that fires faster than Aiko’s toes can wiggle. Later episodes were fine to eh, but the heights they expect you to suspend your disbelief from in the very first episode is just utterly bonkers. As for the ending it was certainly an…interesting direction to take the setting in by giving Skynet not only another sentient intelligence to contend with, but also giving that intelligence the ability to empathise and understand humans, unlike Skynet who took a Pico second to analyse humanity and conclude we’re the problem and deserve extinction, rather than look at the good side of humanity and realise we’re not all bad and that co-existence is possible.

[@UToobUsername01]

I thought that scene of her running from the minigun was also dumb. It's a trope from many action movies where the hero always has plot armor. Eg Storm Troopers losing to the Ewoks because they can't shoot straight. lol They way I would have done it is she has smoke bomb but the terminator has heat vision to see through the smoke, and as the terminator is shooting she has few resistance fighters there to hold it off but they die while she gets into position. This way you could beelive the terminator was distracted long enough to deal with the more immediate threats of human with guns trained at it. (the robots always prioritise high threats to take out first over low threats) Also the idea that she isn't just doing all the grunt work herself but the other fighters are helping her makes more sense to me. There must have been walkie talkies so she can comunicate with others at least.

The only thing that makes me think it’s not, is that Misaki has existed for a long time and doesn’t seem to age at all from when she’s created to present 1997. So it seems strange that the prophet being very obviously old would also be Misaki

[@ge4]

I like the way that it works with the free will. That's something i was thinking that the rebels could do, release every terminator out of the "read-only" settings skynet set them too. They also have AI, it's a shame that they deleted the scene in T2 where they remove the read only from uncle bob. After that he was not only able to learn more but even more willingly to carry out his task.

[@crimcrusader8459]

Keep in mind that this whole timeline concept illustrated on this video is very similar to the Altered Timeline Branch concept used in the Dragonball franchise. Hardly surprising as everything about Future Trunks in the Dragonball franchise draws inspiration from the Terminator franchise.

[@neofulcrum5013]

My ranking is 8/10. Normally with an ending like that (especially for a good portion of animes) I’d be egregious disappointed. But given this is set in the terminator universe, it makes sense in my opinion. Judgement Day is an inevitability. It can only be delayed but not entirely stopped. As long as curious human minds want to explore and tinker with AI, the danger of skynet will present itself again and again. Just under a different name. All humanity can do is resist and try to keep the key figures and as many people as they can alive. Kokoro will change the dynamic of the war now that she’s involved. It’s hard to say if she’ll help the Resistance. Hopefully a season 2 will be greenlit.

[@sirslickrock]

You do and months/years later you break up anyways. Route 2: you keep playing and get more and more popular and you become a superstar. But you are always touring or in the studio and she wants you to quit so you can spend time with her despite it’s the reason you have money and fame in the first place. You do and she leaves you for someone that is the person you used to be.

[@gerardomacias7370]

3:59 I actually think the Terminator is from the same 2nd timeline. It just when Kokoro was fighting against Skynet using humans as soldiers. Skynet did the same thing. The fight for survival was so great, Skynet was force to work with humans in order to stay alive. This is probably what broker a treaty and made Skynet make an agreement with humanity. If human destroyed Kokoro in the past, Skynet will allow humanity to live along side Skynet. Which is crazy. Kokoro was such a threat to Skynet, Skynet was willing to work with and make a pact with humans. Its enemy for countless timelines.

[@UToobUsername01]

Both AI could be plotting though. Remember machines are modelled after humans so humans want dominance over other people. That means the AI will plot against humans and fight it out with each other later to be the ruler of the planet. The humans could have other AI projects worked on in secret with the help of other neural chip awakened Terminators though. In Terminator 2 kid John Conner turned this chip on so that Arnie model could learn to smile and be less of a di ck. LOL I am thinking many machines would side with humans since Skynet made sure all these neural-net chips were turned off just so they could be more obedient to skynet. They realised if the humans turned their neural-net chips on then they are less evil than skynet and thus side with humans for independence.

[@JacobJohnson-lh4gx]

I'm guessing the Prophet is either someone related to Sarah or John Connor like John's wife Kate Connor from another timeline hence the reason why she knows about the Time Travel Paradox. If you think about it T3 ended with Skynet creating another Judgement day. Either she had a chance to time travel already or someone told her about the time travel paradox. I think they took a bit from Hulk's Baby Thanos quote/scene about going back in time in Avengers Engdame. Technically with that kind of set up they can easily tell countless stories related to the Terminator franchise shrugging it off as another timeline or universe (making both Sarah and John Connor both dead and alive in different timelines). Overall I enjoyed the anime, it had a somewhat satisfying ending where they can either leave it as is, continue it, or create another Terminator timeline but from a new character's perspective.

This adaptation of anime for the Terminator IP is the most faithful I've seen. The way they explained time travel and the lore is on par with the franchise. The twist, the soundtrack, the voice acting, and the animation are superb. A few nitpicks are that some events or behaviors of some characters don't make sense but only work to move the plot forward. Also, Eiko fighting a Terminator hand-to-hand and getting punched multiple times in the back and surviving... that's a little too much plot armor. Despite these flaws, I believe this is worth watching. 8/10.

Oksy, so if every time something goes back in time causes a parallel universe instead of changing the timeline.... Then skynet never gets created in the main timeline because skynet was created using parts from the first Terminator that got sent in the past to kill sarah connors

[@GH-wc5sf]

Who says that is the first timeline, it’s confusing. I thought when watching the original movie that the terminator killed Kyle’s dad at the beginning, one of the three thugs. This would create some new stories but without the original John Connor, in these other timelines his father Kyle does not exist to be sent. John would still send someone to protect his mother but the outcome would be unknown.

Terminator Zero was a slow burn. I was highly disappointed in the first several episodes and by the halfway point it was barely what i consider average.

Man you saying all this makes me wanna watch it again I want a season 2 badly

[@Bread_n_Butter.]

****SPOILER ALERT*** ***SPOILER ALERT*** The last thing I expected watching a terminator show was another AI entity creation that becomes just a much of a threat as skynet. This creates a whole new dynamic to the series that I'm definitely HERE FOR! So basically, the human's answer to a created AI who's unexpected self awareness makes it an immediate threat to humanity, is to create another super AI to combat that one and "hope" its self awareness and evaluation of mankind's history doesn't lead it to the same conclusion as the first (Skynet). Now, instead of one AI fighting to eradicate humanity, you have two. And the only hope for possible survival is the fact that the two murderous AI's that are trying to destroy us all are also trying to destroy each other... and one of them has "free-will."

If travelling back in time creates a new timeline... Then how did all time-back travels (malcom, kenta, eiko) ended up meeting in the same place/universe?

[@EnthusiasticLock-hn4qp]

I wish marvel leaned harder in the anime direction. I know they are out there but I think the stories could really look good

[@Skitzotech]

i have a strong feeling that "the prophet" is Ako. She is the Ako that took the long way around... at the end... the Ako that climbs down the sewer goes on living... gets an arm replacement... makes Lee, continues on... finds her younger self... and sends her back. OH SHIZ!!! I LITERALLY JUST SAW THIS IN THE VIDEO... 6:56 LOOK AT HER HANDS!!! SHE IS EVEN WEARING THE SAME GLOVES!!!

[@maillardsbearcat]

I absolutely loved this show. Feels like a mishmash of The Animatrix and Pantheon. I just didn't like how the ending didn't leave with a good cliffhanger, or any lingering questions that I was just dying to have answered. Then they add the whole going to another time thing. It's just so vague. Still, incredible show so far.

[@kbeats2001]

The timelines appear to be crosslooped. They cross over and then loop, like a figure 8 as opposed to circle. Aiko goes back in time, gets her hand crushed, judgement day happens, she gives birth to Malcom. Malcom grows up, goes back in time, Creates Kokoro, meets his mom before dying. Repeat.

[@milanalieu248]

if eiko and that terminator had the same goal which was to destroy kokoro why didn't they work together, or was it because eiko thought the terminator was from 2nd timeline not the 4th and wanted to stop it from using kokoro instead Then the terminator from 2nd timeline went to a different past and perhaps achieved that goal to use kokoro, and eiko went to a different past somehow the same as the 4th timeline terminator It kind of creates a plot hole cause if this theory is true, the 2nd timeline terminator went to a diff past and achieved it's goal then why doesn't the 4th timeline terminator go to a different past too but instead got in the same past as eiko which is the 3rd timeline

[@FigmentForever]

The Anime style was able to convey the inherent coldness & evil look of The Terminator in 1997 timeline (the creepy faces/smile/mechanical mods) better than anything I’ve seen on film. Robert Patrick was excellent in T2 but his short stature didn’t seem that menacing, whereas the anime T-800? felt more violent & capable of sheer carnage/brutality in its entirety.

[@pedropenna7480]

It was Very Nice

[@michaelcolon276]

That timeline seems like it would be better than all the other ones.

[@backtoearth1983]

I don't quite get this one. The T-800 is from Eiko's contemporary time of 2022. Misaki was built in the 2040s, if we assume she is built from spare terminator parts why isn't she as strong or stronger (for example T850 888 or 900 parts)

[@hadryantar]

It's Canon with the movies ?

[@dris007]

It’s kind of like multiple timelines

[@hadryantar]

@@dris007 looks more like the genesis of Matrix universe.

[@tweeks9896]

U could say so

[@9cboomer720]

Did anyone notice at the beginning of timestamp 3:09 The connection between the golden AI and the Green vertical code? If you all remember The original creator of the Matrix and Terminator lore said Matrix and Terminator are "linked". You can see further proof by watching episode 1 or 2 of Animatrix. Its the same Gold coded A.I. as in that shot in timestamp 3:09 And both are called Goddess (of something). Just now realized what I was seeing in this clip 😂. P.S. if anyone was wondering: the author mentioned Terminator takes place before the Matrix. Which to my reasoning is why Morpheus and the other nerds don't know how or when the war started. "Or who struck first" as Morpheus said.

[@awewteq]

Eye out for the next time

[@GoalsBYMen]

The Prohet might be his daughter maybe I’m wrong , I watched episode 1-8 in one sitting very good watch , can’t wait for season 2 ❤

[@emibooluvsu281]

Am I the only one that feels that matrix and terminator are connected to this show?

[@darkspawn316]

Based on my understanding of the story, Malcom's timeline is Kokoro & Humans vs. Skynet, Eiko's timeline is Kokoro & Skynet vs. Humans, and The Terminator's timeline is Humans & Skynet vs. Kokoro. The prophet states that you are creating a new timeline when you use time travel, instead of going back to your own past. So if Malcom, Eiko, and The Terminator all went back in time, wouldn't they each create their own individual timeline? How did all three of these characters meet in the same past, with three different timeline origins? Did Eiko and the Terminator end up traveling back to Malcom's created timeline by coincidence? If so, wouldn't that contradict the idea of creating your own timeline? Especially because all three individuals were sent separately?

[@haydnneilson7742]

i think eikos timeline is a free for all with skynet, kokoro and the humans.

[@demrobinson9]

Macolm time is human vs. skynet, Eiko time is human vs. skynet vs. Kokoro, and Terminator is humans & skynet vs. Kokoro.

[@BloodAngelsSpaceMarineIX]

I've Just finished watching all episodes last night. With such a complex stories & characters, and a somewhat "Downer Ending", where it appears to be bleaked at first but still hopeful enough for a possible better future. A Season 2 is necessary to tie-up some loose ends, like the fate of all the main characters, and what Kokoro will decide to do in the future, and what will become of Skynet. All those things still remained a mystery by the end of Season 1. That's why a Season 2 is a must!

[@FigmentForever]

Mattson Tomlin- the creator - has stated he wants to make 5-6 seasons of the anime so I am hoping it comes to fruition.

[@BloodAngelsSpaceMarineIX]

That's still a possibility, but seems unlikely. I think it's possible to wrap the entire story of Terminator Zero in a minimum of 2 seasons & a maximum of 4 seasons. Any longer than that, the story will just get dull. But then again, who knows for sure right? If the creators can come up with some more interesting new stories, characters, and some more twists & turns like how they did it in season 1, then it's possible to make it lasts that long🤔.

[@riccarrasquilla379]

thanks for the video

[@johnlennon1155]

Malcolm using these references doesn’t show that he spoke with the prophet, those are the same things eiko saw and heard, probably told her kid the same

[@swagishere1843]

i thought when it showed the mom with the metal hand that was just malcoms mom and not a look into the future (if you know what im saying)

[@eyesthere]

Im not too thrilled with the multiverse part of it, although I found malcolm and kokoro's long talks compelling. I dont agree with everything malcom's done or said but would like to see the story continue to move forward and create more thought provoking stories.

[@Jdmking-kp1mu]

This does explain how Genysis, Salvation, and Dark Fate can take place in the same universe.

[@superflek4017]

Would of been better to see the conversation between Kokoro and skynet what was translated to stop the nukes but the show is impressive I score it 8/10 better than any of the new Hollywood movies can’t wait for season 2

[@DemonicPlayz9191]

thing is that netflix tends to change stuff with other brand animes like Pacific Rim Black and Ultra Man

[@PageofLegend]

I just can't take time travel storylines too seriously, the very nature of time travel is so paradoxical, it just becomes a mess. Oh and hot take, when Kenta had the choice whether to use the EMP to take out Kokoro, I think after all that kid just went through, a "You're terminated, f*cker!" --switch flip-- was in order, though I knew I wouldn't get it. Too bad.

[@KamarRama]

so it's basically Dragon Ball Z Cell Arc? Where Trunks comes from the future to save Goku, but Future Trunks World is still ruined?

[@heftychonkers]

Damn... This show was really good

[@Renkencen]

Finished watching it days ago. First half was basically like the film aka Terminator find the target but stop but the future human. Said future human get arrested and the terminator attach the police stations. The last half were it got interesting. I loved the philosopher debate Malcolm had with Kotoro and it felt something new and original brought into the franchise. Instead of trying to jumble up the timeline like what the previous live action movie did, it brought up something that noone talked about, what does the AI want and can it be reason in a civil discussion? Ok yes it wasn't skynet but still, it really got me thinking about it! Ok yes the jumble timeline did get brought up but at least ZERO owned it at the Eiko and the Prophet scene and not the messed of Genisy did! Also yes I know Dark Fate did the multiply timeline first but still.

[@emmanuelboakye1124]

This is why we dont mess with time travel😂

[@AFwitchdoctor]

When kokoro goes on line theres matrix fonts(the greencoding you see on the screens). I wouldnt be suprised if she is the matrix. If you watch the anime matrix the story teller and her have the same colors. Wouldnt be suprised. I feel like she will help the humans get rid of skynet. Life will be good that the humans dont hold up the truce and thus the matrix.

[@italostallone]

Will this Series continue .? That was aswome🎉

[@Swarthy144k]

Pluto > Pantheon > Terminator Zero

[@dennisthemenace6720]

cant believe netflix got this on point, but im really glad about it
