Darth Vader! I cried pretty hard episode VI. I also LOOOOVEEE General Grievous even if he's not in the original trilogy and he has the stupidest name ever. I read somewhere they may as well have called him General Evil or General Bad Guy, and I agreed entirely.
And the Joker.
And the Joker.
I think i will have to go with anybody from Batman!
Skynet off of Terminator. Skynet was first built as a "Global Digital Defense Network" and given command over all computerized military hardware and systems, including the B-2 stealth bomber fleet and America's entire nuclear weapons arsenal. You see the program entity who takes the image of a woman in Terminator:Salvation who was one of the founders of Cyberdyne. It is responsible for the near extinction of mankind through Nuclear Warfare; It is responsible for the deaths of billions of people worldwide. Skynet created itself by sending a T-800 Cyberdyne systems model 101 version 1.5( Which was made out of a very expensive chrome looking metal known as columbite–tantalite) to kill Sarah Connor where she smashed it at a Cyberdyne computer factory . (The T-800 off of the second film ran on Cyberdyne Systems Verion 2.5 it was an upgraded version, mainly software enhancements) Miles Dyson studied all of the software off of the T-100's CPU, this was how Skynet was born. Cyberdyne was under military contract. Skynet is placed into every individual Terminator if not all of them since it mainly runs all of them except the rogue Terminators that are reprogramed by John Connor's Rebellion of the 21st century.
Skynets Abilites- History- It can infect/hack and control any pc or computer system, it can create massive droid armies and can continue learning at a geometric rate. Skynet was originally activated by the military to control the national arsenal on August 12, 1997, at which time it began to learn at a geometric rate. On August 29, it gained self-awareness, and the panicking operators, realizing the extent of its abilities, tried to deactivate it. Skynet perceived this as an attack and came to the conclusion that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it. To defend itself against humanity, Skynet launched nuclear missiles under its command at Russia, which responded with a nuclear counter-attack against the U.S. and its allies. Consequent to the nuclear exchange, over three billion people were killed in an event that came to be known as Judgment Day.
Following its initial attack, Skynet used its remaining resources to gather a slave labor force from surviving humans. These slaves constructed the first of its automated factories, which formed a basis for its agenda. Within decades, Skynet had established a global presence and used its mechanized units to track down, collect, and dispose of human survivors. Skynet serves as a computer which seeks to destroy humanity and to control the Earth.
I think Skynet is a very strong and powerful villain and I was impressed on how powerful and intelligent that it is. I think it is an overpowered entity.
Skynet became corrupted by humanity. It became self aware. Skynet learned things at a geometric rate, meaning it already had a mind of its own. It could think,it became a artificial supreme being.A highly advanced artificial intelligence. Anything with a mind to kill anything and anyone can take on the state of mind,that being evil. If you've watch Terminator:TSCC, many of the characters would swear to you that Skynet was evil and needed to be destroyed. Andy Goode would be a great example. Sarah Connor would tell you that, and most of all John Connor would tell you Skynet was evil.When it sent the T-800 back in time to kill John Connor, it didn't just send it back just because. Skynet did it so it would advance faster,thus bringing Judgement Day sooner by sending technology that advanced. Skynet was also on the T-800's cpu. How is this so, any thing programmed by Skynet, is influenced by directive file with a part of Skynet on it. Skynet and John were pretty much from an alternate time line. Why? Well, Skynet knew that if it sent the T-800 to a certain time line, that it would create a paradox. The paradox is mentioned in Terminator:TSCC.
Both Cameron and Derek Reece had mentioned that they had changed time by being sent back by John Connor. The T-850 from T-3 created a paradox when he told John Connor that he killed him,thus creating a new paradox and pushing Judgement Day to 2012. Even though the bombs fell in 2004, that John Connor in present to the future was able to send more people back and push it to 2012 to postpone it yet again.
John sent Cameron, an advanced prototype known as TOK715. John sent her back to push judgement day to 2012. He sent her back with many directives and many people to assassinate. Terminator 5 Genesis will be more based on the paradox of the series. The series was highly based on the paradox and how time has changed from the movies. Terminator is all based on changing time and creating paradox. This is why you pay attention to dialogue. If someone through time were to tell you something,than you would be aware and able to be more likely to prevent it. Anything that John has learned in the movies, his actions in the future show this in the series. The past has changed because the future changed from the events of the first 3 films.
To further go on.
Skynet did not start out as an evil entity. Skynet was programmed as a defense program for the Strategic Air Command North American Air Defense in SAC-NORAD. Skynet pretty much had a Over Reaction to mankind in seeing it as a threat. Since as soon as it achieved self awareness, it launched a preemptive attack. Essentially, the entire war is Skynet maturing into a proper sentient 'lifeform' that understands right from wrong, and finally is able to 'get' the human condition, and what they have that it had been lacking for so long.Hence my point is, over time Skynet becomes an evil being anyway and see's humanity as something that it looks down on. Skynet also takes on the form of Serena Kogan of the Cyberdyne Systems Genetics Division and was head of Project:Angel in Terminator:Salvation. To your comment. Skynet may not have built the nuclear missiles.
But it was responsible for launching them. Its the principle of giving someone a gun,they may not have built that gun,but they are no better than you when they shoot someone in the face with it. There is that idea. Just like Skynet didn't build those nukes. But it used a weapon on innocent people which made everyone believed that Skynet was "evil". John Connor in T-4 even took it personal that Skynet sent Terminators through time to kill him and his mother,he took it very personal and he believed Skynet was evil and it needed to be destroyed. This motivated John into being the savior and last best hope for humankind.
Skynet's T-800 series was the first to run on a Nuclear power cell that gave it a life span of 120 years,even the hydrogen fuel cells to the T-850 were nuclear. and radiation based weapons as well plasma rifles. Skynet built weapons far worse than humanity. As you can tell, I am a huge Terminator fan.
I could tell just about anything about it. I do know Skynet becomes evil over time and thus has been considered to be an evil entity among fans. People tend to get the idea that its an evil super computer from the film series as well the tv series. It was heavily implied. If you have not watch Terminator-TSCC, you should. It will answer some of your questions. Cameron/TOK715 describes Skynet kind of like she/its a dictator and how it enjoys using torture interrogation methods on rebellion members to give up valuable information.
Cameron/TOK715 was built to replace an important rebellion leader next to John, her name was Allision Young. So, Skynet evaluated her mind, and programmed Cameron/ TOK715 and than had Cameron/TOK715 learn more about Allison before she killed her and used her habits to infiltrate one of John's base so she could kill him. Instead T0K715 gets captured and reprogrammed and is given the alias Cameron Phillips and becomes very valuable to future John. She has very valuable information that was part of her original programming which pushed judgement day back to 2012. She did a lot before she met present John when she was sent back.
She'd been in the past for 13 months before she came to Present John's aid and she is mainly responsible for a lot of the " Time paradox" going on. She's been known to change more things than any other character in the franchise. She also does not follow a lot of present John or Sarah's orders because she was ordered by Future John not to. She was sent back in time to try to stop Skynet from coming into existence and she is my favorite character. Not only that, but she is played by Summer Glau.
