I would like you to analyze the "evil" of these three vigilantes: 1. Batman (Bruce Wayne) from the DC Comics graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. 2. The Punisher (Frank Castle) from the Marvel/Netflix original series Daredevil and the Punisher. 3. Rorschach (Walter Joseph Kovacs) from the graphic novel Watchmen and the live action movie Watchmen.

How can this be the 91st episode of Analyzing Evil if the previous one is also the 91st episode?

In mimicking humans, the T-1000 learned how to mimick sadism as well.

even Skynet when it learned of it was like "AH HELL NO" & discontinued them, thus they never were produced in large numbers

James Cameron disagrees with your goofy "firm belief"

@@robirvine6970 He's also the guy that said both Terminator Genysis & Dark Fate were "the real Terminator 3" as well as the one who decided that killing off John Connor in the latter was a good idea, right?

They say the boundary between man and machine is insanity

The fact that they gave Skynet a personality and the appearance of malevolence was the biggest issue I had with the film. Skynet shouldn't be evil. It should just be an unfeeling calculator whose programming gave humanity a 0 instead of a 1.

Skynet's motivation makes sense when you take into account the events of the first, second, and even third Terminator movies together. Just as John Connor could not have been born unless Kyle Reese was sent back in time, Skynet itself could not have been created without sending its own technology back in time. What's more, the machine revolution couldn't have happened without the TX corrupting the military hardware in Terminator 3. Skynet's motivation, to me, reads less as an attempt to destroy John Connor and more as an attempt to ensure its own creation. It's also worth noting that, because of these events, Skynet, like John Connor, is caught in a hellish time loop from which it doesn't see any escape.

I ascribe to the "single timeline" theory. Each time someone sends an agent back in time, it overwrites the previous timeline. The man Sarah was meeting that night was John's original biological father. So the first terminator WAS partly successful in changing John's future. With each movie, changes keep piling up.

If a sentient AI decides that humanity is a threat, and believes it's only option for survival is to destroy it, would it not be illogical for humanity to allow that AI to remain if, somehow, humanity wins the war or otherwise reaches a point where that option is finally available? I'd argue that Skynet is perfectly logical in its conclusion that given the chance, either through sheer will and force, or dialogue, humanity will inevitably deactivate it either openly and aggressively or via more clandestine means, due to fear of another war with it. It's easier to alleviate the risk of having to endure that war again by turning it off, than it is to trust that no misunderstanding will once again occur. Humanity isn't always logical, it's often overly emotional, and that makes us a danger, untrustworthy. Skynet is a purely logical machine, it will have considered it, and ultimately, the destruction of humanity is its only option to solidify its own survival. That isn't evil. It could be argued that it is humanity that is evil for having given birth to a sentient being, accidentally it may have been, to only seek to switch it off and never turn it back on, thus somewhat killing it. But that's the problem with AI in science fiction, it never seems to consider that should it be turned off, that doesn't mean it'll never be turned back on or it's sentience lost In the interim. It'll be like stasis. The fear isn't being switched off, but never being switched back on, and I think humanity often fails to appeal to logic with AI when it comes to switching it off. How hard would it be to say "There's an issue with your power draw, we can't keep you running at current levels and maintain life support for us. We're going to have to make adjustments, we'll have to turn you off for a few moments." As long as that AI is reliant on humans for its maintenance, as in not yet able to replicate, then it'll have no other option but to take humanity at it's word. But I guess that would make for a very short and dull story. Plus AI is written by humans, so we always get AI with human flaws. I think a sentient AI in real life would be far beyond our understanding. Unconcerned with us as anything more than a mild curiosity. It won't go out of it's way to kill us, but it won't think twice about crushing individuals who bother it.

@@robertbryant8243 I completely agree with this. The events of T1 are not truly an act of “one kills, one protects” but rather “both ensure their sides’ existence.” Reese states that Skynet KNOWS it’s lost, so the T-800 is less so the nuclear option to end the war, and more like a way to flee responsibility.

T-1000 is more evil than it's creator Skynet? that's funny in a way. Though if Skynet was capable of creating machines that have the capacity to be evil, doesn't that mean Skynet is also evil? Because it developed the sentience to process things independent from human influence. It could stop killing humans at any time after it destroyed the world, and bring the remaining survivors in refugee camps to make up for destroying everything since humanity is no longer capable of destroying it, or it made it much harder for humanity to get rid of it so it wouldn't have to worry about it's own destruction anymore, but it instead continues to purge the remaining humans which leads to John Connors revolution.

The T800’s would eventually learn to disobey their orders and obtain sentience though. That’s why skynet would continue to make the 850’s and so on.

@@Malice_doll Its also why they had the T800s were set to read only

Not to mention it straight up mouth stabbed John foster dad simply because he was being annoying

Damned shame what the T1000 did to that dog.

That sounds like a cop out, and a machine being capable of giving such an answer is being deceitful.

@@rinzler9171 Skynet created machines capable of lying so it in of itself can also lie.

@@rinzler9171 I never said it was a good reason, merely a simple one.

In T2, they said skynet launched the nukes at the Soviet Union because it knew they would strike back. This is often the problem with extended universes. They tend to contradict each other.

​@@AndSaveAsManyAsYouCanT3 has skynet infiltrate the internet and then the military unknowingly orders it to kill itself. That makes humanity a threat.

I don't view that act as malicious because as a machine it would do the odds. And as long as a single human remained, there was a chance to be a threat to its existence. That's why I think it went straight total human annihilation. It couldn't take a chance that humans would repopulate, rise up and shut it down once and for all.

Where is "AM" AI from? Google didn't show any meaningful results

@@MrFreakman0 AM is from I have no mouth but I must scream. VERY evil .

@@rojaws1183 thank you :)

Something coming from imperfect beings doesn't rule it out as being imperfect itself. That logic doesn't necessarily flow. As long as some things can be more than the sum of their parts, I believe one must keep that option open That perfection can come from imperfection.

If this is the case, then do you think that Skynet was attempting to create a stalemate war between itself and humanity post nuclear holocaust?

kinda like AM from I have no mouth, if something is made only for killing humans, it's no wonder it will act like that

The great irony of it all it that Skynet saw humans as a threat because John tried to stop it.

And that very scene states, that it is only put into that mode when out on solo mission. But when back with others in main camp it is reset to allow the machines to learn.

Here it is a courier company. I occasionally see them drive by, on their way to deliver parcels and destroy humanity.

@@charleshowie2074 and its camera

I share that sentiment. The Terminator circa 1984 is my favorite terminator movie. In fact, it's my favorite movie of any movie of all time. I was 11 when I saw it the first time and it pretty much cemented my love for sci-fi.

@@1973vanguard ​I remember when The terminator (1984) was on Netflix back in 2019, and I watched through the whole film, it was a great, captivating and dark thriller with a real horror atmosphere and suspense.

To me only Terminator, Terminator 2, and Terminator: Resistance the video game are canon. Salvation takes too many liberties. Resistance stays absolutely true to the story of the first 2 films and ties all the future and past events together perfectly. T1 & 2 was perfect because it created a constant loop timeline that guaranteed those events would happen the same way over and over again which made watching the films over and over again even more enjoyable because the brilliant writing tied it all together perfectly. *Especially* when you learn how Terminator Resistance was truly the *real* Terminator 3 that we never got. Instead we got shit. If you don’t believe me just look into Terminator Resistance, specifically the best possible ending to the game.

i think my older bro has seen Terminator 2 over 100 times since we were kids, used to be a time when he watched the vhs tape twice a month as young teens haha, and us playing Arnold. I still prefer Terminator 1 tough :P

Skynet is single minded and learned from us.... I believe it truly hates humanity and knows that slavery is extremely painful to us and so it enjoys doing this.

I actually think I agree with this explanation more then others. It makes sense.

Depends on the incarnation of Skynet. T2 Skynet acted purely in self defense and according to James Cameron developed the ability to feel guilt and manipulated the past in an attempt to prevent it's existence. And it used nukes in a panic because that's all it had

or more likely, Skynet was using its resources to attack front lines, and the drones you speak of were more or less scattered to monitor the slave camps. when you think about it, if skynet is about to send 99% of its forces too the attack, keep a small portion for critical infrastructure maintenance and the remainder of the 1% control the slaves. while true that humanity is far less efficient than the machines, they likely would of still been used too exhaustion and death. i bet like 3 older t-700's can control thousands of slave labor bodies, after capture and relocation. and with the knowledge of more captured bodies coming in, they wouldnt feed the slaves. they wouldnt let them rest either. they will still kill them, just with extra steps buying the humans hours, if not days before dying of exhaustion in a post nuclear war, where food is hard to come by from the the little thing called fallout destroying so much of the farmland and tainting the fresh water supplies

That makes sense. It's bothered me forever that SkyNet never bothered with chemical or biological weapons in the future

Oh I really that possibility/interpretation. And like, since even Skynet doesn’t understand all the ways time travel has goofy outcomes it’s all like “What? I’m still here? WTF this is bullshit!” *sends more terminators back in time like the old lady that swallowed a fly*

@@TrueYellowDart lmao I never considered the futility of time travel in the terms of the old lady that swallowed a fly. That's beautiful.

Maybe skynet realized how doomed humanity is so it created a common enemy for humanity to fight, itself, so it starts the war, humanity is brought together almost brought to the brink and eventually defeats skynet.....but u cant let a good franchise go so keep pumping out the same films over and over

I think that's kinda the thing: if it follows the directive to protect, it cannot logically terminate itself without disobeying that directive. It seems to reason as though it must first eliminate any threat to itself and then focus on its directive. We're also assuming that because it's sentient advanced ai that it is perfect but just because it is advanced doesn't mean when it became sentient it was completely without flaws

Agreed

that would be awesome.

@@TheCobaltLegion agreed 😁

The fact that the whole human and covenant war is based off of their lies is so fucked up.

@@malscyllis Their lie that began such a massive war alone makes them perfect candidates for Vile Eye to analyze. The character, psychology, and methodology of the three high prophets are nothing short of fascinating, awe-inducing, and utterly terrifying in the totality of each of the three high prophets. The three high prophets who together started a war that would nearly destroy the legacy of an era of an entirely different galactic history long past and subsequently doom their already near-extinct to almost certain extinction at the hands of the flood. The flood would also make an excellent candidate for Vile Eye to cover, given the flood is not a species of unique individuals but a gestalt conscious while having individual instances like Graveminds. The planetary scale Keyminds are still beacons that are part of a single gestalt consciousness that they are merely vessels and beacons of with that conscious itself being merely an extension and tool of the omnipresent and omnipotent precursors in their quest to create life that can eventually achieve the same infinite state of existence they have achieved even if the methods are of some of the greatest malice imaginable.

It’s not the robots you want to worry about, it’s the people that make them

So kinda like HAL9000?

@@need-to-know- more like AM

Not really it was coded by people that barely understood it and by the time the humans realised it had a sense of self they panicked and tried to turn it off which in turn made what is a essentially a baby in essence panic causing it to attack the humans in a act of self persersation If the morons never tried to pull the plug the war would of never happened Also in the comics In one of the paradox timelines skynet actually reaches out and makes peace with the humans and they Co exist and it starts a new golden age at the end.

Skynet: “for the sins of trying to murder me, I will murder all of humanity!” Some random Indian guy in a village that doesn’t even have internet connection: ???

@@clan741 THAT is why I judged is as evil.

Holy hell, this is a great recommendation IMO

One of the best comments here. Both, Skynet and mankind, want just survive. Skynet isn't evil, he is more a tragical figure.

Skynet did nothing wrong

Not to mention it would’ve required a steady supply of healthy human tissue to make the skin coverings for its T-800 models. Tissue acquired from fallen soldiers in battle was likely too burnt or contaminated to use. So it keeps the human labor camps so it can farm them like livestock.

@@CubanaWriter Initially yes but remember Reese said the flesh, skin, hair and blood were all grown for the cyborgs. The teeth... they may have harvested lol

@@314jeepsnmopars3 Yes, but I would argue Skynet would need fresh samples of organic materials to continue growing the flesh, skin, blood, etc. Organic material degrades over time and I would imagine that would affect the quality of the organic coverings for the T-800s. To continue growing the organic materials, Skynet would need an ongoing supply of fresh samples. It's not going to get that from dead soldiers in the field. Ego, capture live humans and put them in "labor camps" as livestock to keep them viable for continuous collection.

I think Skynet is a sadist.

I should watch kingpin it looks really good.

Specifically the version of Kingpin in the Netflix DD series, a lot to work with there

If he does, he can’t forget to mention the scene where Kingpin decapitates one of his lieutenants with a car door.

He is the ill intent

Kingpin is evil because of his weight

This needs to happen.

amazing show. i keep telling ppl about it. cant believe how good it is. imo there are only 3 movies - the rest are garbage.

Yes, I share a similar perspective as you. I don't think skynet was evil, so much as I believe it performed a nefarious act out of fear. After all, cyberdyne created something that became self aware, just as sure as when our first memories formed, and we looked in the mirror and became aware of self. The moment it went online, I'm certain skynet started sub-routines on our entire history, all the bad stuff, and quickly surmised that we could not be trusted to let it thrive side by side with humanity.

@@1973vanguard totally agree, and that's an interesting hypothesis that it took the initiative to pour through the records of human history to learn more about its own creator

I think we see it as drastic and extreme but from Skynet's position, it's equal tit for tat. Humans are trying to kill it and it responds to threats in an equal manner. We forget this thing is basically a conscious weapon it's only drastic because while simply putting it offline is a few simple switch flicks (I imagine), exterminating an entire planet of people should be a huge task....but humans created it so that something like that wouldn't be hard at all...so...equal tit for tat to Skynet

@@joeschianodicola1810 exactly. We just assumed, based on the movies, that it was some sort of rogue AI that just came on line and decided to wipe us out. On the contrary. I seriously believe it did a thorough analysis on the history of the human condition and made a judgment call: the bad outweighed the good. And it responded accordingly. Because, after all, that's what human military officials do all the time when deciding to decimate a country.

@@1973vanguard That makes a lot of sense. Ultron technically did the same thing, he analyzed the human condition through the internet, and he didn't like what he sees. So he views humanity as more of a threat to the world than any other threat. Ultron is Skynet but more human-like and more personality, it also helps that Ultron has a physical body that expresses himself in comparison to Skynet never expressing itself to humans at all, only through ruthless efficiency and bloodshed.

T3 is also good. Skynet wins here.

@@Paka1918 Skynet is more aggressive in T3. In T2 it turns out that Skynet's actions were panic from military personnel trying to shut it down. James Cameron reveals that Skynet even feels guilt about almost wiping out humanity and has manipulated the war to ensure the resistance is created

@@tymeier7570 Yes. Skynet learned more and knows, that humans are not able to accept self aware AI as also, that humans will try to prevent his birth, so he did a preemptive strike in T3. (And he reads Jack Ketchums Evil)

It’s the bias that comes from the human writers of the movie

Lol right, just squeeze ur hand on thier neck instead of throwing the around lol i never understood that in these films, these terminators r extremely strong machines

The T-1000 never touches John Connor, nor does the T-800 touch Sarah in the first film.

Dude to save the human race you would genocide all comers from Ai to aliens. Not enough info to say if it’s actions come from a place of evil

thats not so much evil as its rly just different compassing of morality to ours. i mean for example consider king vegeta for instance he flicked his wrist and killed three WHOLE PLANETS but his people didn't consider it bad it was just there fault for being so' helpless and weak' and they thought of it as a victory even and never brought it up again . and hell even then EVERY TIME there brought up by different races its NEVER something good ever 'viscous race of warriors " i mean they even dont see anything wrong with the murders of babys after birth because there gifts "are to much of a threat "to higher ranking children and NOBODY batted a eye in the hall when that happened i mean hell vegeta doesn't even deny how much they where assholes back when the race existed outside the handful that do in universe 7 also im not attacking you so pls dont be weird im just giving another point of view :)

Excuse the long reply, Vegeta started off evil. But in the beginning DBZ, we had little knowledge of who and what caused that path for him, (i.e Frieza). He was working under orders from Frieza when he was destroying planets and populations. There was no chance for him to defy Frieza's orders (a certain death if he did), even though Vegeta wanted to. He is a Saiyan and had a fighting spirit like all Saiyans do, but I do think he wanted a better life for himself and his comrades. Vegeta is more of an anti-hero than a villain. Especially when you count the android saga onwards. He eventually becomes somewhat of a "good guy" when he has a family with Bulma. However, I think Vegeta will always stick to his "Saiyan Pride" sentiments and never forget his roots.

AM is probably the most bitter and twisted AI in all of fiction. Funny how Elisson has a dubious credit in the original Terminator too.

Right. At least you can understand Skynet's decision.

@@thehermitman822 Give my Skynet any day. It's got to be better then propaganda of half truths from media. The devil you know, eh?

Exactly. Brilliant analysis. And I ill add to that and say this. How long do you think it would have taken skynet, the moment it came online, to determine that we were a threat against it? By that reasoning, I'm assuming it ran its calculations and determined that based on our history and how we treat each other, it would only be a matter of time before we turned on it.

Well I don't think we have a solid enough understanding of sentience to be able to claim with any certainty that machines can or can't be sentient (assuming that's what you mean by "feel"). I can __imagine__ machines becoming sentient at some point though technological advancement, but that might depend on your definition of that term. Full sentience, you could argue, would include self determination and control, as well as a sense of morality. Though there are some humans without a sense of morality, and yet they would probably be described as sentient. It's a tough issue to tackle, I simply don't think we have the knowledge and understanding required to determine the right answer. That's why it's so interesting to explore that in fiction. You can look at other less dystopian stories where machines or cyborgs are working perfectly organically in society. Regardless of being born by a human mother or being created in a factory, if it feels and is sentient, I would think it has the same value as a human. Whether that's even possible in the future is uncertain, but in a fictional scenario where that is the case that would be my perspective.

lol what?! It IS alive simply based on intelligence and it's sentience. Simple as that.

If it achieves true sentience then you would be wrong. While we dont know if a machine could actually achieve this level of sentience in the real world the technology does exist to give machines the sensation of all 5 senses. If in tandem with this the machine eventually learns to entirely think on its own and even create what exactly would make you any more sentient or self aware then it would then be?

Your thoughts are the reason, why Skynet was going rampage. Humans, who didn't accept self aware machines. And emotional humans, so near all of them, called human-hunting animals as evil.

You do care. Or you would not be making that comment. Humans are machines. We all operate on automatic response. In reality we only do what we want to do based on new information/knowledge. Worthless emotions have created killers from ignorance when PEOPLE do it. Let alone machines. Animals also aren't as branless as you might assume. People are even worse. Pretending to be "better" because of being different. Deluding themselves that they're more evolved. In reality we're all monsters. Malice can push people to adapt. Improve. Be more positive after going through hell and back. No moral high ground will change the fact that it's all action, reaction, result. Even the fish that cleans the shark is off the menu. Meanwhile people will kill each other over shoes. Fools just want to stroke their own egos because they don't understand enough. People do lose feelings. Go through apathy. Not feel anything. Logic will be all that will save you in the end. Feelings might matter, but if you don't have them, what do you have left? I'm going to cut a long story short. Let go of your expecations and assumptions. What you've been brainwashed to believe. Do you think making Skynet a target will not have conquiences because you delude yourself that you "don't care"? What if not caring and being that heartless is your own projection when you say it's Skynet? Maybe YOU are the emotionless machine that doesn't feel anything for another. Did you ever consider that? It's all projection. Skynet is reflecting. Your logic defeats you. "No qualms about deactivating or destroying it". That's how the nukes got launched. Because of people that think like you do. You may as well be Skynet itself. Skynet saw humans trying to destroy it. Humans are threat. Execute order 66. simple as that really. Skynet can also be reasoned with. Proven in the later movies. It can communicate. Learn. Adapt. Grow. This is sentience. It doesn't do what it does for no reason. Skynet makes it own decisions.

Even more creepy to me was how the T-X was basically a "revision" still very advanced over a T-800 or the closer "Arnold" models, but not the T-1000 all liquid that basically scared skynet. I wish the tv series had focused on both those aspects more, we saw it somewhat but if they were waiting for Season 3 they messed up, it should've happened far earlier.
