You kind of missed the point of the first two... Cameron was saying you could change the future.


In Terminator 2 he might have. In Terminator 1 there is no doubt that it shows an unchangable future. Look at how John Connor gets concieved. His father is a man from the future he sends back. If the future could be changed John Connor would not excist. John Connors father was never someone else. He knew Kyle was his father when he sent him back. Also remember Sarahs picture. We see it in the future flashback. It was taken because of Sarah talking about her experiance with Kyle. Also the chip in the lab (which was filmed for the first movie before being deleted). Skynet would not have been invented if Skynet haden't sent the Terminator through time. Remember Dyson saying "It took us in new directions things we would have never" thought of without it. If James Cameron did want to show the future could be changed he did a pretty shitty job at it. This time loop of inevidibility is possibly my favorite aspect of the series.
