Skynet terminator salvation
If Marcus was under Skynet’s control, why not just let the Hydrobot kill him? And I’m not talking about the “Throwmenators”, I’m talking about a Hydrobot attacking Connor and Marcus saving him. But it didn’t really make a lot sense, Skynet seems tactically stupid having many chances to kill Connor and Kyle Reese, who somehow knows Reese his Connor’s father, yet they don’t. So they reshot it to establish Marcus as an infiltration prototype in a convoluted plan to kill Connor. But that leaked online and everyone thought it was stupid, I wasn’t crazy about it myself. Marcus’s original origin was he was one of many Terminator hybrids left behind, that Skynet was in charge of the machines, it was a race of Terminator hybrids led by Helena Boham Carter’s character who believed the human race would eventually destroy itself and humanity’s “salvation” was to terminate most of it and convert the rest into machines. Then the story arc of what Marcus was leaked online meeting negative results. But they wanted Bale in the movie, so they rewrote the script to make Connor’s role larger. Problem was Connor was barely in the script, in fact some complaints people had with Salvation was that Connor was barely in it, and there’s a reason, because his role was originally much smaller. The problem with Terminator Salvation was it was convoluted, but it’s understandable how it happened: first Christian Bale was offered the role of Marcus, but he wanted to play Connor. I’ve been saying this for years, but I finally figured it out.
