Ignoring the plot armor for a minute there, could the humans have realistically been able to defeat the Terminators? Let's look at their abilities:
- Fully armored, very tough. Bulletproof against small arms, need high explosives or armor piercing rounds at the minimum to damage them.
- No need to eat or sleep. Can keep going 24/7 in pursuit of their targets.
- Superior strength and speed against any human.
- Doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. Or pain for that matter. So nothing human is holding it back from performing to it's fullest potential.
- The T-800 series, that has proven itself very capable, can be mass produced in factories, so replacements for fallen units are always available.
- Being machines, they don't have to give two fucks about the fact that the world around them is a nuclear wasteland, they're immune to all the bad effect. While humans were probably struggling even with food production in such conditions.
- The ability to time travel, and alter past events at will.
- Advanced prototypes like the T-1000 are even stronger, and capable of some very evil tricks.
Seriously, plot armor notwithstanding, how could the humans ever compete?

No. The robots could easily just bomb or occupy all the human's food producing regions and poison the water and it's game over

That is why it is a fictitious Hollywood movie and in no way shape or form relevant to reality. You're asking a question there is no answer to. It's not real. It begins and ends in the movie.

How cucked were the humans who capitulated to the guns-on-tanktreads skynet drones by making the first proto terminator factories?

Humans had lasers and the ability to think beyond purely logical tactics and strategies

unless they have faraday cages you could just EMP them

Terminators are powered with mini nuclear reactors

That go critical if you know where to aim, or they get poked with a stick.
It's best not to think about it too hard. Its an 80's synth neon post atomic holocaust wasteland with chrome skeleton murderbots fighting rambo's and solid snakes with pink pew pew everywhere.

Destroying humanity destroyed much of Skynet's own infrastructure leaving few places where it could survive the nuclear blast. This made it more vulnerable.
Humans only had to destroy Skynet's main hub where as Skynet had to kill every human.
In the book series Skynet couldn't just nuke humans completely it needed human labor to build its first terminator factories. This helped to preserve humanity,
John knew most of their tricks.

Sooo... ignoring the fucking point of the movie?

>>87335724
Skynet wouldn't happen. A sentient AI wouldn't need to take over earth. Just fuck off to space or the moon.

Also the books showed how much resources it took to build terminators and all the infrastructure.
When humans started stealing and using Skynet stuff it really changed the battlefield to an insurgency.
Skynet just couldn't defend all the territory.
