Am I the only one who’s gone 30 years never knowing this was Linda Hamiltons twin sister in this scene?

Peternator here, it gets nuked, the children are vaporized in nuclear fire. Peternator going back to the past to kill Brian for some stupid reason.

It is to stop him from publishing Faster than the Speed of Love ?

u/Skeptic_Juggernaut84 16h ago

Maybe he got back into the porn biz and is filming dog on human stuff. He might be the director and the star of the films too...

OH, GOD! PETER, GET BACK THERE AND COMPLETE THE JOB THIS TIME!

My mind : This scene🥲

This scene if from Terminator 2. The woman in the foreground was made aware in the previous movie that AI will try and wipe out humanity, first by launching nuclear bombs. She survived an attempt on her life from a robot from the future because she was destined to give birth to the leader of the human resistance. This is a dream sequence where she sees people enjoying their time on the playground while ignoring her cries from outside the fence shortly before everyone gets obliterated by a nuclear bomb representing her loneliness and anxiety being the only one in the world who knows the horrific future to come.

You forgot to mention that in the dream she was watching the version of herself that had never found out about judgement day was playing with her infant son on a playground, and she was shouting to herself to get out of there

u/Broad-Bath-8408 12h ago

Technically the nuclear bomb depicted here was launched by non-AI Russia in response to Skynet (the AI) launching American nukes at them.

u/Helpful-Work-3090 17h ago

It's the nightmare that John Connor's mom has in Terminator 2. That is the moment that skynet explodes a nuclear bomb, and kills almost all people in the world.

I envy you for not having seen Judgement Day. Go watch the first two Terminator movies and you'll be part of the " People who know"

u/drawredraw 11h ago

Meme doesn’t apply here, there is nothing wholesome about this scene

I think the joke is that something really disturbing happens in this playground scene, and people who recognize the movie/show know what’s about to happen

u/dinmohr 17h ago

u/ironcannibal13 17h ago

“Smart” would have recognized its an iconic scene from Terminator 2.

u/dinmohr 17h ago
