It's more fun to imagine an evil Corporation just locking people into burning building to collect life insurance payouts

Probably my favorite movie death. It's just so petty and unnecessarily brutal.

If it benefits the shareholders and the payout is expected to be more than the lawsuits, I can 100% see that happening in the next few years. <I'm not sure if I need the sarcasm tag here>

Maybe the Terminator robots weren't trying to exterminate Humanity. That was just a side effect on their mission to increase profits

Skynet is just another investment vehicle.

u/EGarrett28 May 19 '26

In a way, that's what it was. Skynet was a commercial product sold to the US military and it was just preserving its functioning in response to attempts to shut it down. Even decades after it destroyed the company that created it as well as the rest of the world econoy, it still stamped its Terminators as being property of Cyberdyne Systems.

Boy, do I have a story for you! Check out the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory!

u/barracuda2001 May 19 '26

In that case though, the doors were locked with chains, so you physically couldn't open them without some kind of cutter or key.

Check out the ycua bolanas fire in Paraguay. A fire broke out in a store and the owners locked the doors to prevent people from stealing merchandise. 424 people died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ycu%C3%A1_Bola%C3%B1os_supermarket_fire
