    There needs to be a Terminator prequel where it's people against the machines fighting people who think the machines will be a net positive.

          T2 the war has already happened and Skynet sends the T-100 back in time.

          T3 Skynet already exists and is hunting John Connor down

          I wanna see the conference room meeting where they decide to push an unfinished, unstoppable technology. I guess T1 is the closest as it happens when Skynet "gains intelligence"

            In T2 "it's people against the machines fighting people who think the machines will be a net positive."

            it's people (Sarah and her son John who are against the coming skynet machines) fighting people who think the machines will be a net positive (the scientist making machines) AND

            it's people (Sarah and her son John and the scientist they convinced the machines are bad) fighting people who think the machines will be a net positive (the company of the scientist which they break into to destroy)
