Summary
Netflix’sTerminator Zerohas the prospect to fix theTerminatorfranchise ’s major John Connor mistake five eld later . AlthoughTerminator 7 ’s statusremains unclear , theTerminatorfranchise will presently return withTerminator Zero , an eight - installment anime serial from Skydance and studio apartment Production I.G. AlthoughTerminator Zerois a standalone project , the series seems to be cleave to the traditional knowledge lay down inTerminator 2 : Judgment Day , including the date when Skynet took over the world . Terminator Zerowill be the franchise ’s first boob tube show since 2009’sThe Sarah Connor Chronicles , which also took place in its own timeline .
Terminator Zerois one of the most excitingTerminatorprojectsin age , with a talented team and a successful anime studio behind the series . Netflix’sTerminatorshow could be a regaining to basics for the saga after all the vital and loge office failures that the franchise has released sinceTerminator2 . Perhapsthe best example of how dissatisfactory theTerminatormovies have been is what happened to John Connorin the saga ’s former two film , particularlyTerminator : Dark Fate .
Terminator Zero Can Undo John Connor’s Death From Dark Fate
Terminator Zero takes place two years after Terminator 2
Terminator Zerowill be set in both 1997 and 2022 , the former of which is the year when Judgment Day happened in the originalTerminatortimeline . This meansTerminator Zerowill partially take place two years after the events ofTerminator 2 : Judgment Day , during which Sarah , John , and the T-800 helped delay Judgment Day . Therefore , Terminator Zerohas the opportunity to revisit Sarah and John Connor shortly after the case ofTerminator2 , which is somethingDark Fatealso did . However , Dark Fateshockingly vote out John Connorin the movie ’s opening sequence .
Terminator Zero ’s timeline means it can be the greatJudgment Daysequel that never happened , even if it does not rivet on established characters like John and Sarah .
Terminator : Dark Fate ’s risky decision of bolt down offT2John Connor in the opening minutes of the film did not pay off . Not only was John ’s dying very anticlimactical , but it also made it seem like the events ofTerminator2 had been senseless in this rendering of the timeline . It is unclear whetherTerminator Zerowill lineament or even recognise graphic symbol from the moving picture , but if it does , it can give John Connor a much good post - T2future thanDark Fatedid . TheTerminatorfranchise is used to novel timelines and retcons after all .
Terminator Zero’s Timeline Means It Can Be A True Judgment Day Sequel
Terminator Zero will take place closer to T2 than other sequels ever did
More than three decennium afterTerminator2 , it is safe to say everyTerminatormovie and TV show released since then takes position in its own timeline . Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machinesis the closest thing to a properTerminator2 sequel the franchise ever had , but no other entry in the franchise ever acknowledged the film . Terminator : Salvationintroduced a future that was never revisit , whilebothGenisysandDark Fatetried to rewrite the saga ’s timeline but miscarry to reignite the franchise . None of these projects live up to the quality ofTerminator2 .
InTerminator 2 ’s original timeline , Judgment Day happened on August 29 , 1997 .
Terminator Zero ’s timelinemeans it can be the greatJudgment Daysequel that never chance , even if it does not focalize on established role like John and Sarah . The first officialTerminator Zerosynopsis observe two original characters – an unmade soldier from the future tense sent to 1997 , and a scientist list Malcolm Lee . Although the scientist and the soldier will beTerminator Zero ’s main characters , the show could still feature cameos from majorTerminatorplayers . Netflix’sTerminator Zeroannouncement included plenty ofT2references , including the gum anime ’s release day of the month – August 29 , 2024 .
Should John Connor Be In Terminator Zero After Genisys & Dark Fate’s Failures?
Terminator Zero may be better off without John Connor
Terminator Zerocould well have or reference John Connor , either the adult version from the future tense or the teenage version of the character from 1997 . However , after whatGenisysandDark Fatedid to John Connor , it may be estimable forTerminator Zeroto avoid him altogether . InGenisys , John was kidnapped offscreen by Skynet and turned into aTerminator – the T-3000 . John becoming aTerminatordid not work , specially because what should have been a major twist was bollocks by the trailers . Dark Fatewould then substantiate thatTerminatorno longer know what to do with John Connor .
Netflix ’s upcoming Terminator anime serial can be unlike anything the live - action movies ever did and unsex a trouble the saga has face since T2 .
Even if John does not appear inTerminator Zero , Netflix ’s upcomingTerminatoranime could still cite the character and his importance to the saga . The soldier sent to the past should be aware of John Connor ’s office in the war against Skynet and might want to check his status in 1997 . Every continuation toTerminator2 has so far ended in tragedy for either John or Sarah , so it would be interesting to have at least one future where things bend out okay for the saga ’s heroes .
