Conner led a rebellion, after the machines won. Terminator was an attempt to go back and squash the rebellion before it started.
By Terminator, the rebellion hadn’t (yet?) been successful, and all it did was ensure the leader of the rebellion would be born. The second was an fight over ensuring/preventing the paradox caused by the first.
I didn’t follow things after that, but, and I thought the second was not as good as the first so I gave up on the franchise; but in none that I saw was Skynet ever prevented. The fact that the third movie, which I didn’t see, happened means that the MacGuffin in the second movie wasn’t needed for Skynet to happen.
That is a pretty rare take! Most consider it one of the examples where a sequel is better than the original (and T2 is considered one of the best action movies of all time).
T3 portrays the actual moments of the rise of skynet, so even though I don’t normally recommend it, for purposes of this discussion I wish you had seen it 😂
Skynet did win.
