John Henry: An angry mind?

[roxybisquaint]

John thought John Henry was "something bigger, something worse" than Cromartie, but Weaver said she'd built him to fight Skynet. I think both are true. I think Weaver's intentions were as stated, but John's hunch also ends up being right

If skynet emerges because of fear of human death then why would it kill humans? I think for skynet to turn, however it started out, there needs to be some kind of betrayal.

The way I was looking at it is that John Henry would become confused about it and that confusion would turn to anger.

We don't know what made Andy's Turk become scared and angry, but from the little bit he told Derek, I didn't get the impression Andy and his team had tried to unplug it/kill it. It became angry and scare for some reason and it could've be reassured. How do you explain loss and grief to a machine? I'd think that could mess with John Henry a lot.

it could be, though, that John Henry would go the other way and blame himself so much that he'd want to "die". Maybe he'd destroy himself or maybe he'd fly into a rage against the machines instead and become the new savior of humanity. But I'd hate that, of course.

Oh, I do so enjoy discussing your wacky theories. :-)

That would be deviating too far from Terminator by basically making machines the heroes of the story.Interesting that you would put it that way, because if you stop and think about it... haven't the machines been doing most of the heavy lifting in this franchise ever since T2? Didn't the T-800 ArnieBot do most of the work in destroying Cyberdyne and the T-1000? Hasn't Cameron been pretty crucial to their survival up until now? I'd say that the machines have been stealing the spotlight for almost two decades

I agree with most of this. John Connor doesn't singlehandedly win by himself. John Connor wins because he's a good leader. He's allowed to use whatever he needs to accomplish that

What if John Henry solved heaven's hardware problem and uploaded Savannah's mind onto a computer after she was murdered by the redneck brigade

thus
creating Skynet.
