The REAL Terminator 3 | Terminator: Cybernetic Dawn

[@Woopywomp]

That rant about atari leading back to terminator was the highlight for me of this show.

I honestly didn't expect Rich Evans to appear in this episode.

You know what makes this video excel? The mini-history lesson on Atari as an analogy of the pizza-and-arcade business battle of the 1980s, which itself was used as an analogy for a single moment in the BOOK THEY'RE DISCUSSING. Glorious.

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

“We gotta get our disgusting Rat to get children to play our stupid video games while eating our disgusting pizza...” 😂 😂 dead. This is why I watch back issues. You need to do stand up Sal.

[@mikewitts1333]

If I remember correctly, the reason it was called Terminator 2: Judgement Day - Cybernetic Dawn was due to licensing. Dark Horse had the rights to, and was publishing, comics based on the original Terminator movie at the time. Malibu got around that in order to make its own Terminator comics by licensing the rights to make comics based on Terminator 2, hence the name. God I'm such a nerd 🤓🤣

[@asiydah.6817]

The energy in this episode was electric. I love it when they do books that they enjoy and Jason is such a welcoming addition to the couch! I hope to see more of him. Also that "chocolate and peanut butter" sounds really fun!

[@BNutsTV]

That rant about Marty Mcfly’s dad becoming the new Biff had me cracking up! 😂

[@Deadpoolzilla]

Biff: I am...inevitable George: and I...am...George *punch*

[@diegocobos6605]

So glad the Atari tangent wasn't cut. It was one of the best moments in the episode seeing you guys so entertained by Jason and Atari's history.

[@brendanwoods7278]

I come back to this episode almost exclusively for the Chuck-E-Cheese Atari tangent, its a wild experience we don't see the likes of 3 years later

[@majorsmind]

Agreed. 100%

[@priceyyeti4058]

Yeah, Jason! I've got nothing witty to say. I just like seeing returning people on the couch.

[@WhelmedButReady]

23:44 The exact moment Sal stops himself from creating a Gremlins 2 Tangents video

[@jhonatanpaguay4907]

this whole video is a tagents video

Best tangent ever

[@BBmetalhead04]

This was basically an extended episode of Tangents, and I loved it.

The Chuck E Cheese and Atari tangent had me pause the video to check myself.

That long time travel tangent is the shit I love for

[@radicalraddish6292]

This episode is too nerdy. I love it.

[@DWViking4]

Honestly the tangents are some of my favorite parts of the show. You can honest have a Back Issues called tangents thats just yall moving from one subject to the next talking about nothing.

[@alexsilva28]

Elseworld Exchange tangent episode when?

[@jasondennison8911]

I truly don’t know what’s more horrifying, the Showbiz bear or what it says on that poor child’s shirt😳

[@IzzysIssues]

Hopefully the bear didn't follow those instructions

[@loki_l_1380]

I still remember how excited I was as I kid seeing that Terminator 3D stage performance in Orlando.

[@thedruid1151]

Holy shit I forgot about that thing. I remember being scared shitless that the terminator statues were going to get down and walk around at some point. So glad they didn't.

[@antgto]

I was excited for it at Universal Studios Hollywood, and I was an adult. Was fortunate enough to see it just before the attraction was closed.

[@thewilhelmscream7912]

I saw the hollywood one too and it was a tie with the back to the future ride as I rode them each before they closed them down, what a waste!!!!

[@thewilhelmscream7912]

@@Akkbar21 They were both the ones in universal hollywood and it was so awesome!!!! Blew me away and I was so bummed they didn't last more than a month after I was there, and the studio tour was so good too, seeing a giant king kong, so dope!!!

[@TheSpartanCat]

I can't believe Rich Evans finally appeared on Back Issues

[@alexsilva28]

Hopefully not the last time

[@Grievousish]

The real Terminator 3? What do you mean by that? There hasn't been a terminator movie since T2, because to follow up that classic would just be insane. Good thing no one's made an attempt. Yes indeed......

[@SmokeysVideos]

I can only hope that Sal makes the gang sit thru the insane garbage that is Aliens vs Predator vs The Terminator.

[@architeuthis3476]

I haven't read that one, but it sounds like a great episode of _Back Issues_ _Judge Dredd vs Aliens vs Predator_ would be a good one too (that one I have read & its what most people would call a guilty pleasure)

[@SweatyMornin]

This honestly makes me want to rewatch terminator 1 and 2.

[@austincole7286]

This episode is so entertaining I gotta keep going back in time and rewatch it

[@MyJourneyConcludes]

Oh WOW, I didn't know Dan Abnett worked on so many other prominent sci fi franchises. I know him for basically being one of the best writers for the Warhammer 40k franchise.

[@adambuckley2270]

Sal dropping the book made me chuckle so much

[@infernaldisdain8051]

YAY JASON! And the rest of the Crew too, but JASON! Edit: What's even better is that this episode is full of Tangents!

[@sircasmanmarvellolover1323]

This is my all time favorite because of Sal taking a break in the middle of the show I laugh so loud I couldn’t breathe

[@ragemonkey117]

Listening to this while I'm leveling up the Terminator in Mortal Kombat. 👌

[@the_rose_garden01]

I've come from the future to say that Dark Fate was alright, but Sarah Conner Chronicles is still the best

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Back Issues is the best comic book show ever.

[@hyaena23]

Didn't saw this episode just because i am not really a big terminator fan, but since sal is working on the new comic i am doing a little marathon of terminator back issues ❤ loved the last bit of discussion. Love form México :3

[@adamsos]

I loved that you took your time with rants in between the story. It made me feel like I was there.

[@kazual6149]

Yeessssss with the Rich Evens photo!! Also glad to see Jason back!

[@TevyaSmolka]

Yay terminator content this is going to be tons of fun

[@ultimate_lance]

I want BIFF IS INEVITABLE on a shirt

[@alexsilva28]

Lol doesn't Doc Brown mention in part 3 that Biff is like the one constant in the universe? 😆

[@Bfromxthestreet]

You guys are hilarious and your conversations are amazing. This is one of my favorite episodes of an already favorite youtube series

[@SpeedRoarMan]

Sal predicted Way of Water two years ago.

[@jonathanshaw9704]

This is a better T3 than T3. On the idea is that the early Skynet time machine tests only sent the Terminators through TIME and not SPACE AND TIME, there by messing up the locations where they land and stuff. Along with the organic material factor as well.

[@allydrawsthings]

this is like a whole episode of Back Issues:the tangents and i love it

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

this episode was freaking great. God i love the tangents. I haven't even seen a single terminator movie and this was still a funny ass episode

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

[@gerbill13]

is it wrong that this is 100% better than all of the movies after T2?

I got the time to watch this and this was a damn good episode. I like that they kept the likeness of the actors from the films and I would love to see this as a film. Well I would’ve if it came out in the 90’s

[@sammienievesjr9055]

I've been trying to find THE Back Issues that got my friend into the show, and I think this is the one. The REAL T3 is hard to pass up.

[@DTooth7]

Dan Abnett also wrote some of the best Warhammer 40k novels so he's deeply entrenched into the Sci-fi world

[@EightPageProductions]

Loved this episode and all the directions you guys went off in

AWESOME!!! I’m a big fan of Terminator, T-2, and Salvation. Robocop as well. 🤖

[@willmartinez1606]

Bomb ass episode. On my second watch already an as always New Jersey represents.

[@Sicod79]

Wow, this comic predicted the MCU Damage Control AND the subsequent 616 Damage Control which was a private/public partnership at the Federal level and then created a similar concept years before. Amazing Abnett!

I did notice that arm the first time I saw T2, and was basically yelling at the screen at the end about how they were right where they started.

He can simulate it.

[@ianmckee4726]

@@comicpop I suppose that makes as much sense at anything, considering its a liquid metal kill bot from the future.

[@architeuthis3476]

When I first saw T2 as a kid, the T-1000's lack of skin bothered mee so much I hated it and didn't watch it again until a few years ago. Upon rewatching it, I got over it because its a kick-ass action movie, even if the sci-fi is absurd (the strength of the first one being that it works really well as both an action film and a sci-fi film). There are other problems as well, but that's the one that bothered mee most

[@ianmckee4726]

@@architeuthis3476 Although i suppose that the living tissue stipulation did come from Reese, who isnt exactly well versed in how the time travel works. I do think it would have been dsrkly funny though if skynet had to send like a whalenor something back in time, something thst the t1000 could be inside without killing it long enough to get back.

[@architeuthis3476]

@@ianmckee4726 It was pretty good writing to have a simplistic explanation like "something about the field generated by a living organism" and when questioned further saying simply "I didn't build the fucking thing!" He's a soldier with casual familiarity with it, not an engineer.

[@Vamroc]

It only works if "Terminator" time travel operates on a sliding scale and so long as there is even one percent chance of the Terminators coming to power Skynet will continue to exist at some point in the future no matter how far in the future that might be so Sarah must make sure that probability is ZERO percent across all possible timelines.
