Marcone, John Connor, and Time Travel via terminator series

Nah.  I see they have a really convoluted time travel theory that isn't consistent across movies.  They do have some time travel theories that work within particular movie or some subset of movies.  But that really misses the mark. This thread really isn't so much about Time Travel as it is about John Connor's origin being based in it and his birth being targeted because he plays a pivotal role in the defeat of Team Bad's plan.

That said, I do need to watch the movies, all of them. I've seen the cliffnotes in other writeups and they do show a VERY complicated, contradictory, inconsistent overarching theory but that there does exist some parts of TT theories that attach in different movies.

They did a money grab for more movies.  Here is how it was supposed to end.

I admit, I cherished mine idea after movie 2 that Skynet was only trying to destroy humanity to kill John Connor, because they copied the chip from the first one to build Skynet. John connor being out of time actually creates the time loop of Skynet's existence(something they hinted at in a different way in Genesis... a shame, cause Genesis could/would have tied all the other timelines together in a 'the Magicians' sort of way). So Skynet exists to destroy John Connor and since they know he will be born into humanity, it target's humanity before he is born/during his life.

An added plus with having marcone being involved with time travel, it gives him more time to have developed his martial, combat skills.  It gives him more time to have been a marine.
