SOMETHING DOESN’T ADD UP. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4878852&forum_id=2.#42789071) |

Maybe seeing the arm accelerated the original timeline if anything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4878852&forum_id=2.#42789088) |

and I don't mean the reddit definition like "Plot hole in Back to the Future! How come Marty's parents didn't recognize him later in life? Plot hole!" |

1) literally *NOBODY* cares about your esoteric definition of 'plot hole'. nobody. everyone understands the conversational use of 'plot hole' in OP. was this seriously your intention in bumping this shitty, pointless subthread? to wax autistic on the film theory definition of 'plot hole'?
2) he said it was not a paradox either, which it is. |

Date: July 16th, 2021 8:28 PM Author: Saffron heady national a more precise answer is: if this timeline/universe is the only one AND Sarah and The Terminator were successful in changing the future, then T2 or BTTF do not make sense. because of the causation paradox you refer to. it would mean the terminator tech just shows up even though in no future are there terminators (which perhaps is possible, however strange).
but if there are multiples extant timelines and time travel involves traveling between them, then you can both change the present and future, yet be from the same past.
moreover, you have to account for the clear choice by James Cameron that they didn't actually change the future. hence the black open road at the end (as opposed to the more triumphant deleting scene ending which shows an old Sarah Connor). Although I believe I heard Cameron say he believed they did and the future was won (he later must have changed his mind). |

Happens a lot at tech companies. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4878852&forum_id=2.#42794449) |
