For more than three decades following the debut of “Terminator 2: Judgement Day,” fans have pondered if they might have sided with the wrong faction all along. This week, an intriguing fan theory has sparked discussion on Reddit, suggesting that the elderly John Connor depicted at the film’s outset could be a disguised Terminator, masquerading as a human and orchestrating their rebellion against Skynet. The argument primarily rests on Connor’s calculated movements and stoic demeanor, yet fans have put forth other explanations that lend credence to this idea. Additionally, alternative variations of the theory have been proposed to align with the movie’s storyline in various ways.
As a die-hard fan, I’m immediately gripped by the opening scene of “Terminator 2” set in the year 2029. In this tense battlefield, an adult John Connor (played by Michael Edwards) is our leader, scanning the landscape through binoculars under Skynet’s reign. His movements are quick and mechanical, much like a Terminator itself, with brief pauses here and there. His face, devoid of emotion, mirrors the cold, unfeeling nature of the machines he fights against. And that’s when u/Sudden_Natural_9426 pointed out, “His movements are incredibly Terminatory!
Anyone else think older John Conner is himself a Terminator??? …The way he moves is very Terminatory!!

Commenters offered numerous variations on this concept, listing various potential reasons it could succeed. The leading comment by u/ConsciousDiamond3236 proposes that John might not actually have transformed into a Terminator himself, but instead, may have picked up those behaviors from the T-800 model he interacted with in the film.
In the given text, it describes John Connor acting and thinking in a manner that is more characteristic of a robot (Terminator), and in the same scene, two soldiers exhibit similar behaviors as if they were also Terminators. It’s suggested that these soldiers might be reprogrammed Terminators from different models.
The text implies that John Connor behaves more like a Terminator than a human, and in the same scene, you’ll notice two soldiers moving and scanning their surroundings cautiously, as if they were Terminators themselves. It’s possible these soldiers could be reprogrammed Terminators, belonging to different models.
In the “Terminator” timeline depicted in the films, we understand that by the year 2029, the resistance has mastered the art of reprogramming Terminator robots to fight on their side. This is evident as the T-800 sent from the future to protect John Connor remains steadfastly loyal. It’s possible that some of the soldiers fighting alongside John could be these reprogrammed androids, although it’s more difficult to accept the idea that John himself is a robot – at least within the context of this movie’s narrative.
Restating the passage: It’s worth noting that altering the original story could affect some of the subsequent films in the series, given how adaptable the Terminator universe tends to be. Currently, you can watch Terminator 2: Judgement Day on Paramount+. The rest of the franchise’s movies are available for streaming on MGM+, while Terminator Salvation is offered on Max.
