When Skynet cloned Sarah Connor to get the Terminator out of her, how come she still has some of her memories? Pretty sure that's not how cloning works.

In the comics Skynet sent back a terminator and a fat dude full of guns one time.

Oh poo poo, is that the one with one female and 2-3 male terminators that went in with him? I think I still got that comic at my parents house. They punched it out of his stomach or something.

He shouldn't have even been able to go back in time by in-universe rules. He was entirely metal.

Also, artificial skin on a nuke, blah blah blah

It would have been pretty cool if instead of him coming back just like Arnold they sent back some random hobo so you think oh poo poo that's the good guy like the other movie, but nope he just starts vomiting up dozens of gallons of liquid metal.

*skynet sent all terminators at the same time. he knew exactly where john Connor was, so he sent his best machine after him. The info on Sarah Connor was very bad and vague, so he sent his second best machine after her. they arrived years apart only from your perspective.

well then why didn't the terminatrix get sent after rear end in a top hat adopted teen john connor

that boob inflating trick would've had him dead in seconds

don't know who terminatrix is, but john Connor is gay and the distance where you can properly appreciate a nice pair of boobs is in gun range anyway. I'm not sure how much of an advantage that would be.

THE GREAT MANBABY SUCCESSOR

iirc the canon for only sending two back was the energy/physics or whatever behind the time machine, like it was experimental tech and skynet could only send two through before it fell into the resistance??

The T-1000 was already malfunctioning from attempting to time travel without being encased in living tissue. It new it had a limited time to complete it's mission, and limited transformations. That's why it was very conservative in it's transformation choices.

yes, but from skynets perspective there was also no advantage in sending back more than two terminators. he didn't have any other leads on the Connors and with no pictures of them, there was no chance of finding them randomly in other times. sending more than one terminator into a single time would not make much of a difference, since one of them is unstoppable anyway. he did not anticipate that a resistance fighter would be there to help, but even with their help the Connors are completely outmatched in a direct confrontation. the theme of both movies is that human ingenuity and flexibility is a weapon all on its own and can defeat a much stronger opponent.

It's just the plot of the first movie with better graphics. The ending would have been different but they scrapped that to go with a voiceover about the future.

My friend had an idea for a movie where they send back on Terminator every day since the day Sarah Connor was born. That way if the first one fucks up, the next day there are two, then three.

The movie itself would just be Babies Day Out but with an army of Terminators.
any skynet can only send back 1 thing and then timeline changes and there will be a different skynet that is unaware of any other previous timeline skynets but as long as john connor survives he keeps getting more and more terminator disposal experience
john connor isnt the savior of humanity because of destiny hes the savior of humanity because he happened to be the first person skynet sent someone back to terminate and failed, thus setting up its own demise

by 2010 some green t-800 is getting sent back by skynet and john connor just loving hadokens that bitch through the wall

in terminator 2 the T1000 was white because he represented the imperialist policies of the US, the tentacled might of an unseen malignant force terrorizing innocent people under the cover of law

in the remake it is an Asian cop: the rise of the Chinese Red menace
