I had an idea for a parody where the Terminator is sent to kill the dude who will become the leader of human resistance, with the twist that Arnie is sent by the humans because turns out the guy sucks as a leader.

I don't get it, because I don't watch films either
Sarah Connor is the lead protagonist in the first Terminator movie. The terminator is a robot sent back to the past to kill Sarah, as she will lead the rebellion against the robots in the future.
Hate (love) to be that guy, but the terminator hunts her because she will give birth to her son, who is the rebel leader in the future. With the father being the time traveler soldier sent to protect her from the terminator.
Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she's leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time
That's a really big stretch. Is my school teacher the person who achieved whatever it is I am doing, or am I? Are my parents?
Not to diminish her badassery, she is one of my favorite female movie leads, but to say she leads the resistance is simply wrong. She is dead by that time. She does, as you point out, drill her son in survival skills, military tactics, guerilla warfare, everything he will need to succeed.
But that still doesn't mean she is the leader of the resistance. By that logic the actual leader would be kyle (the soldier from the first) because he teaches the one who teaches the leader.
Hate to be that guy but he was a kid in that movie. He went on to be the rebel leader, without mom, as an adult, which is what the robots were trying to prevent

I find that unlikely.
I've never even watched the films.
Absolutely unacceptable.
The only terminator movies worth watching were made before she was born.
Luckily we have this nifty technology that allows you to watch movies that came out years ago. It's called "time travel".
Ever tried to get your kids to watch movies from a few decades ago? They thought star wars was a slog.
They were not wrong

Imagine how cool would be if there was a way to see movies after they were released on cinemas.

no shit, at least the first 2. my kids 9 and we've seen them all and watch 2 regularly. looks like it was filmed last year it's so good.
Wouldn’t her knowing what she needs to do damage the timeline?
We need an O'Terminator to hunt down this woman and make her watch them.
Regular Terminator: AFFIRMATIVE.
New, improved, Irish O'Terminator: TOP OF THE MORNING, LADS.
*THAT'S HER, NOW
NEVER FIGHT UPHILL, ME BOYS!
Not a phrase used in Ireland, but it made me laugh.
What’s the best Irish saying that is basically “I’ll be back”/“see you later”
Right so
G'wan I'm gone
G'luck
So imagine T2 but before he goes into the Lava he says that and then gives a thumbs up
You slap your thighs while getting up from a chair and say 'Well...'
Alternatively, one can say 'Take care', which is my personal favourite.
Very popular in the Midwest US, too. Though it's often "Welp," instead of "Well"
