Wouldn't sending back a terminator to kill John Connor create a different timeline where John connor never existed?

Wouldn't sending back a terminator to kill John Connor create a different timeline where John connor never existed?

Just by the fact that they're able to talk and do things after Skynet sent back a terminator means that John Connor would not have died in the timeline they were in, as the changes in the future would've happened the exact moment the terminator was sent back in time.

They're basically trying to save a timeline they're not in for no reason at all, and since there's infinite universes there will always be a universe where they don't manage to save the world, which means that it's pointless to do so.

This whole movie is pointless

This thread is tactically dangerous.

pick one

ALSO
Since the past has changed, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese will not fuck at the same time, which means that as soon as Kyle Reese got to the past, John Connor would not have been born.

Which in return means that the future of the timeline is in is not the same as the one they have in the timeline at the start of the movie.

Which means that the particular timeline Kyle Reese is sent back to would be techically impossible to reach from the future of another timeline

Well, it is yet another false start for a new Terminator franchise

Just turn off your brain, bro.

What if we sent a weaboo into the past the get John to start watching cuckime so that he could never reproduce and thus wouldn't have Sarah come save him?

I cannot self-terminate.

Jane Connor will never exist now that Genisys flopped.

Thank G-d.

This one made sense.

What if their goal was to create a timeline where there is a "Jane" Connor?

Terminator Geni-cis

Well it doesn't matter, nobody would've seen it unless they were sent to the past and then to the future of that past

The real question is: why wasn't it called GeniCIS?

vs

Yeah, totally makes sense

Still a fun movie

No, it doesn't. It has the same problem as OP's movie.

The only story where timetravel actually made sense was The Prophet, a NWN module series.

Hail Mary.

This is retarded, past history was changed as soon as the terminator had left the future - assuming its mission was successfull.

But you know what's depressing? If we trust BTTF2 over the multiple timelines theory, then the world in the first movie is still there. The real Doc is dead, ledft in a parking lot all night and probably afterwards discredited and linked to terrorism. And Marty's already estranged family, now is looking for him when he disappeared for no apparent reason.

SAN DIMAS TIME

John Connor shouldn't even exist. In order for him to exist he must already exist, which is an impossibility. Skynet would never be threatened by the human resistance, would never lose the war, and would have no reason to send a terminator back in time to kill someone who doesn't exist.

Basically the entire Terminator plot is built upon a retarded paradox that has no basis in logic or reason outside of something a child would think up.

James Cameron started the plague of the "badass" female character. Sarah Connor in the first movie was alright, but from the second onward she got played up more and more as some badass while John the "savior of resistance" never is seen actually rising to that mantle.

Would it have been so hard to make a future war movie that doesn't suck?
