This is probably a Higgsfield ai UGC video guys. Just saying, he has odd lighting and I think I've seen versions of this general face on Youtube UGC clips. 'User generated content' is a marketing hype right now cause you can fake real people pretending to like your products. In this case, this is a zany mishmash of conspiracy-idea guy LLM prompt that combines movies thoughtfully into shorts.

This is a -- find the guy's real ig and confirm it for yourselves moment. Or he doesn't exist.

So the terminators grandma was a snow blower?

u/alanskimp 7d ago

Well it all evolved from elements in the ground

So I have an even MORE mind blowing theory that expands on THIS guy's theory.

The Air Force XR1000 robot that ended up on Gilligan's Island had AI that was so advanced for the time that the castaways were convinced that it was alive.

When it landed on the island, the Air Force considered it lost. However, after it walked back towards Hawaii under the water and ended up being picked up by the shipping vessel, the Air Force realized that the project was a success despite not saving the castaways due to its memory tapes getting erased by Gilligan's lucky rabbit's foot.

The Air Force continued development of the XR1000 model and its parent project. However it realized that legs weren't reliable due to limitations of joint/bearing technology at the time. So the legs were replaced with tank tracks, and the design eventually evolved into the SAINT units we saw in Short Circuit.

I enjoyed the storytelling and Short Circuit was one of my favorite movies growing up. I studied engineering because of that film.

u/alanskimp 3d ago

Robotics?

u/Mother-Run7097 3d ago

Electrical then I switched to computer engineering. I was almost pulling my hair out. 🙈

Cool I'm CS

Nice! My husband is a pulmonologist and our son is a humanities major; Philosophy and Anthropology to be exact and we could not be happier.

u/Yeasty_Moist_Clunge 7d ago

I like the chant the Terminators sing in the future segments.

T-800's kick your ass

T-1000's kick your face

T-X's kick your balls into outer space!

A fan theory needs some semblance of 'evidence' to support it, anything.

There's nothing here. Just some nerds hamfisting 2 movies together.

You could literally do the same with...I dunno...Space Camp? 🤷‍♂️

u/metricwoodenruler Model 101 7d ago

Wrong!

It's just one nerd.

u/CP_Rail_8514 7d ago

This could have been summed up with a photo of Johnny 5 and a HK tank and/or a T-200.

u/JosephBlowsephThe3rd 6d ago

Total honesty: every time I hear Kyle Reese saying "it can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with," my brain always finishes it with "It just runs programs!"

u/JeevesVoorhees 7d ago

That must mean T-1000 evolved from a thermostat.

u/Desperate-Pen7530 6d ago

Don't forget that in Halloween 3, season of the witch, the silver shamrock corporation sends out cyborg infiltrator units to terminate undesirables.

Not everything has to be about skynet

Also that Rocky IV terminator at Paulie's Birthday https://youtu.be/cku6oPGWW7Q

The song they use is so out of pocket

Anytime someone starts off with "What if I told you...?" you know they are goimg to be talking guff

u/mistasnarlz 7d ago

Cool and fun but no.

u/Agreeable-Peak-6546 7d ago

I like it. I'd hate to be dying and hear "Johnny 5 is alive".

u/RisingGear 5d ago

I mean the HK tanks do look like hulked out Saint prototypes

u/StarKillerZero 6d ago

Jesus Christ I despise these fan theory videos

u/ThaEmortalThief 6d ago

lol this was great. I was waiting for him to then connect the matrix to this theory as where the terminators went after we blackened the sky, but that’s okay… the lsd didn’t quite kick all the way in yet.

u/BlackStory666 4d ago

There's like 9 disjointed "what ifs" in there. Using the same logic I could argue that Terminator got tech from Spaceballs.

Johnny V IS Skynet!

u/SunsetRider500 7d ago

The theory that the T-1s were super similar to Johnny 5 was around when Terminator 3 came out in 2003, we all saw how similar they are

u/Wurschtbieb 6d ago

Guy is saying:
Short Circuit has robots
Terminator has robots
Rhymes something together
The end.

u/mediacommRussell 3d ago

If they weren't the same studio, writers, or directors, this theory has no legs. Sorry. But it was fun nevertheless.

u/Vague_Certainty 5d ago

Supposedly

u/Pataconeitor 7d ago

Honestly, the portable laser weapon that was powerful enough to blow up battle tanks and armored carriers would be a MUCH bigger deal than the robot itself.

u/Iateyourpaintings 6d ago

I knew somehow Steve Gutenberg was responsible for the end of the world.

u/Sh3nrA 5d ago

This is brilliant. That entire franchise is entirely incomplete.
