And what would you even do? Continue from Genisys? Continue from Dark Fate? Pretend 3-6 never happened again? Remake the original? These are all bad options.

My brother and I were talking about how to add something new to the Terminator franchise recently and we thought why not go back farther in time. The very rough idea we were throwing around was that Arnold as a human is a sort of a an aging Nikola Tesla type in say the early 1920’s or 30’s and is responsible for the beginnings of the robotics and technology that lead to cyberdine. He’s essentially thought of as an old eccentric inventor that most people choose to ignore.

I know there’s major holes but we were bored and just spitballing.

Then it’s the human resistance that goes back in time to kill human Arnold in an effort to prevent his “technology” from ever evolving and becoming what it became. And if you want to throw in a cybernetic organism then you could have sky net send a Terminator to protect him against the humans trying to kill him.

That’s about all we had and of course I’m not sure how you take an idea like that and somehow make the resistance the bad guy and cyberdine and sky net the good guy.

Feel free to laugh and tear apart my idea or ignore it all together!
