That said,theTerminatorfilmshave stuck to a somewhat consistent set of rules for the most part.

Considering that Skynet created the first time machine,the creation of time travel inTerminatoris a paradox.

For something to be sent back in time through the TDE, it must be surrounded by living tissue.

Whether other objects such as weapons can also be covered in living tissue and sent back is unclear.

Instead, it creates a new timeline.

The existence of infinite timelines solves a lot of plot holes inTerminator.

Terminator Zerodoes not feature Sarah or John Connor.

Unlike the T-800, the T-1000 was not covered in living tissue as far as we know it.

Its human skin was actually a mimetic polyalloy, which is what made it a shapeshifter.

It deals with the idea of the future being inevitable, such as in theTerminatormovies.

However,perhaps the movie that most resemblesTerminatorin terms of time travel is Rian Johnson’sLooper.

The relentless pursuit of key human figures by time-traveling cyborg assassins known as Terminators is central to the narrative.
