What I didn't like with "Gremilns 2" was that they could have had Gremlins invade Times Square, the Empire State Building and the Statue Of Liberty. Instead it was contained inside a building.

I think yall forgot that Terminator was a time-travel tale. Just because John Connor got killed in Dark Fate, didnt mean he was dead forever. Which is why one more time jump before that, could pop him back into the story very easily.

[@draygoon69]

For me, Terminator deciding to pretend the other sequels didn't exist is what killed it. It's just lazy. Instead of writing a story to correct any missteps, you just pretend it didn't happen. Killing of John Conner could work in the right story. Independence Day 2 suffered more from changing the pacing and not giving anyone time to shine, then it did from not having Will Smith. I rewatched it a few days ago and unlike the first that took place over a couple days and let you see the effects it was having. Part 2 seems to happen in like 12 hours (an assumption as it's not really stated) where they did not give any character buildup at all. I'll still never understand the hype behind Blair Witch. I am surprised that this list went after the 3rd entry and not the 2nd as Book of Shadows is often the one people dump on. But making it a real horror movie and not the idiotic found footage style. I would add another terrible decision for X-Men is their insistence on doing the Dark Phoenix story. It's not a story that can be done in one or 2 movies. It was a huge comic book event that spanned over a year. They would need to build up to it over a few movies before taking it on.

[@shill1444]

[@BrianHartman]

To be honest, I think several of the movies on this list actually suffered from coming too late. A Star Wars sequel that happened back in the 80s could've had slightly older versions of the original cast that delved into some of the Legends stuff (like Han and Leia's relationship, Luke and Mara Jade, the Empire's recovery from the Battle of Endor, etc.) The sequel trilogy suffered a lot from not being connected to the original trilogy outside of the cameos. Similarly, if Independence Day had been followed up on immediately, maybe they could've gotten Will Smith at a better price/when he was less in demand. I think Dark Fate even had that problem. If you followed up T2 with Dark Fate as the next movie, instead of having John Connor alive in the public imagination for decades, you wouldn't have had that negative a reaction to his death. To be honest, though, I've always thought that T3 was the right way to go. Not a perfect movie by any means, but it always made more sense that a) John lived, and b) Judgement Day happened. Without John Connor surviving, you wouldn't be able to get the T-800 coming back to save young John, and without Judgment Day succeeding, there would be no T-800 or T-1000 in the first place. Dark Fate breaks the continuity because it sets up a type of Grandfatehr Paradox.

[@bheast86]

if they used Kingsberg for X-Men four times, then it means it worked at least three times. Not putting Will Smith in the Independence Day sequel shouldn't be surprising - the number of fictional US service personnel killed onscreen in the 21st century possibly exceeds the real-life number, so they should live with it (and it's not as if the character had been particularly compelling in the first place). You can't blame Maria Bello for that Mummy movie: There was already too much wrong with it (one shouldn't worry about diversions from reality in a fantasy movie, but it dam well happened here); changing the female lead in a knowing fashion was almost the only plus point. One might not have known where GREMLINS could go after it went .Meta', but that doesn't mean that it wasn't effective. I would observe that many of these 'failures' were far less deserving than the 2009 STAR TREK of finishing their franchise; instead we had a trilogy based on ignorance of its source material, general sense and storytelling principles, and kicked off multiple TV series with much the same flaws that lasted for more seasons that did the '60s original

Blair Witch was a decent movie until the end, when it completely fell apart into an utter joke.

[@dhenderson1810]

They killed off John Connor because Edward Furlong was unavailable to appear in lost of the movie. What other way should John Connor had been written out?

Just cast another actor.

Gremlins 2 DOES NOT belong on this list!

Yeah, I would rather be forced to watch the Star Wars Christmas Special for 24 hours without stop than ever watch Rise of Skywalker again.

i actually liked Terminator: Dark Fate, I think the move away from John Conner was exactly what the franchise needed... If you didn't watch it for such a lame reason, go watch it... you have my permission.... It basically opens the door to the multiverse for Terminator, now almost anyone can be a "Savior" and "Terminators" can be anything..
