New Terminator Movie: Skynet decides to try quantity over quality. It sends hundreds of terminators back in time all at once, in an attempt to inconvenience John Connor so heavily in his day to day life that it drives him to suicide. John Connor's late for work because his alarm clock was a terminator and it went off late. Terminators infiltrate John's workplace and have an office party that they don't invite him to. John has intimacy issues because every woman he dates turns out to be a terminator. Terminators replaced all the cereal in John's house with plain unflavored cereal. Terminators keep resetting John's router so that his neighbors can steal his wifi. John refuses to get therapy because the last time he tried it the therapist turned out to be a terminator who was also pretty bad at being a therapist.
Listen and understand that Hollywood is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until this series is dead.
In Terminator 1 it makes sense that they just send one robot back in time, because we are told that Skynet had basically lost and it was a last ditch effort.
Terminator in 1984 : - "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." Terminator now : - "I need to help Alicia with the groceries."
