Terminator: Garbage

[@baw5xc333]

I hate how Sarah Connor is acting all “been-there, done-that” like killing Terminators ain’t nothing but a thang... But in the original Terminator, Kyle Reese was afraid of them, and took them very seriously. And he came from the future where he routinely fought them off.

[@NANOTECHYT]

Exactly. This film is just about strong wahmen, without any regard to the franchise it's supposed to represent.

[@artwork8650]

VOLTEC No its not just about strong women. You had the women fighting along side Arnold. Enough. This movie is not woke like people think. You feel it is. But its actually not. The roles flipped because this film is about two realities! And Sara Conner developed more hatred for the Terminators. Her character stayed true. The SJW is not in this film. Even the border scenes were just situations of what the characters do if they were placed in this situation. They are running away from a Terminator. When Grace opened those cages it was not a political statement. It was a distraction so she could cover herself to protect Danny. Logically anyone would do that if your running away from a killer robot. Lastly you can't say this film is woke. Because they all supoorted second Admendment on the shooting range scene. When Armold says " Welcome to Texas." Lol so get a grip. I liked the movie. I can tell when things are SJW. This wasn't that. Also since Terminator 2. Sara and John always lived by the border. You actually had conservative ideas in this film if you pay attention.

[@hackerman7835]

Another thing: Edward Furlong (young John Connor) was taller and obviously stronger in T2 than Natalia Reyes (who's 5'1") is yet he was never portrayed as a match for the T-1000 and never attacked him, while SHE can apparently take on something even more advanced than the T-1k...

It's so easy to just tweak a few things to make this not a complete trainwreck. Even changing some lines to something else could be neat. Like instead of "I'll be back" they could've twisted it to "Stay here if you want to live", making it a play on the "come with me if you want to live" line and therein showing how Sarah is no longer the defensive, but the aggressive element.

[@James-lh3sn]

i get, why this seems to be a rediculous concept.. but actually it is not! it all boils down to the questsion.. WHAT IS AN A.I.?? if it is a real conscious intelligence, with 20 years time to evolve, it is very likeley, that it will develope some kind of personality. we have seen glimpses of it alreaady in "T2" i am programmer by myself, and i know, that we currently have nothing on earth, that comes even close to a real AI. Our software is only faking it, by executing pre-defined solutions to our requests.. a real AI, must be something, that works on its own.. having at least a vague solution for every situation/request (like a human has).. and the terminator movies are ABOUT AN A.I.

[@1337fraggzb00N]

@@SmileThePlanet well, you are right. It actually would make sense. After killing John, the Terminator was out of tasks, so it had two options: self destruction or looking for a new task. As it is against its programming to self-terminate, the most reasonable option would be to blend in and pretend to be a common citizen. "Hollywood AI" already passed the Turing-Test, but today's science is yet still far from it. What contradicts the whole thing in "Dark Fate" is, that the movie "Terminator 2" told us, that Terminators out in the field have restricted capability of learning, so it would not have been able to blend in. I see this as a flaw in the script.

[@SmileThePlanet]

@@1337fraggzb00N exactly right! lets not forget, that he was programmed to pretend to be human.. so he still had this task to execute

[@Urza26]

@@1337fraggzb00N It's possible that 'in the field' refers mainly to the future. Where Skynet needs to continuously reinforce this 'limited learning' restriction. Not sure how to explain it, but maybe there's some kind of signal from the main Skynet core that does this. And maybe Skynet removes this limited learning restriction itself from the models it sends back. After all, the terminator in the future needs only to avoid detection for a short while. But a terminator sent back in time needs to learn a whole lot more to avoid being detected.

[@skynet0912]

For me, the biggest problem i had with the movie was actually something James Cameron said in an interview about Dark Fate, which infuriated me to no end when i watched it! In the interview, he mentions that he is tired of doing the "chosen one" stories, so he wanted to do somethign completely different with Dark Fate... This is a great idea, as John Connor being the chosen one and needing protection of some sort is getting old, but all he ended up doing with Dark Fate is to copple together a Frankensteins monster of reused plot from the first two movies, and trying to sell you on the idea that it's new. - It's no longer Skynet, it's Legion now. - The character who needs protection is not Sarah or John, but BOTH. - The terminator isn't a metalic skeleton or liquid metal, it's BOTH. - The leader isn't american anymore, but mexican. - The protector isn't a man, but a woman. - She isn't a robot, and she isn't human, she's BOTH. This would all be okay if they did something new with it all, but in the end, and i don't understand why no one told him this, Cameron ended up making what is possibly the most cliché chosen one story ever, while also somehow making the exact same movie as if Terminator 1 and 2 were 1 movie! I'm not even joking, Dark Fate is the EXACT same movie, just with different actors and settings

[@madelaki]

Prometheus was a great movie, it just wasn't Alien. It was a separate movie set in the same universe, with expanded horizons. It introduced philosophical themes that you practically never see in american cinema, and the mood was set expertly, as one would expect from Scott. Realistically speaking, neither Alien nor T2 were likely to get sequels that were as good or better. That just doesn't happen often. Unlike what you see in other media, most movie franchises are one hit wonders. There are endless examples of great sequels in the realm of books or videogames, but in movies not so much. Sequels that basically recreate the original (e.g. T3, Genysis, Dark Fate) obviously fail to amaze the way the original did, since they're merely imitating something great years later. Meanwhile, sequels that try to take the franchise in new directions tend to be hated by the audience for daring to be any different from the original, regardless of the film's objective quality. It's a kneejerk psychological reaction from people but it's not inevitable, since you can do a good job of rehashing an old movie (or a bad job of trying to introduce new things). That's why T2 took off the way it did; despite being relatively similar to The Terminator, it was crafted so masterfully that nobody cared. And on the other side of that coin, while I thought Prometheus was a more than worthy successor to Alien (again, while being its own movie and not just a repeat of Alien), I hated Salvation. I thought it was a badly written movie full of plotholes and a terrible combination of drawn out boring scenes and overly spastic action scenes. I suggest you look up the videos that certain youtubers have done on Prometheus, especially regarding the original script. "Kroft talks about movies" has dozens of videos on the topic. That content should give you a clearer idea of what Prometheus really was. It's not an 'easy' movie. It's not nearly as accessible as the average blockbuster, and it certainly isn't without its flaws. I don't deny the flaws it does have. But a lot of the issues that mainstream youtubers have with it are actually total misconceptions. Several aspects of the movie went over most peoples' heads. Deliberate vagueness was misinterpreted as weak writing. It's not. The movie is just more philosophical compared to its peers.

[@ngchloe4877]

Thinking about an idea for an actual Terminator 3: What if John, rather than being the leader of a resistance group, was the leader of a group of terrorists. My thought process is that with how Sarah Conner was traumatized by her encounter with a Terminator, John went through a similar experience, and ended up being paranoid that something like the Terminators and skynet might happen again, leading him to be paranoid, and using his leadership skills to become a charismatic terrorist that wages war on tech corporations or something along those line. This leads to a company/government/thing, making a more weak dollar store terminator to hunt down John and take both him out, which would lead to his group falling apart, coming full circle and having John getting taken out by a Terminator an arguably good thing. This isn't a perfect idea, as I have to ignore the major fact that John had a good relationship with a single Terminator, which might affect my idea. It would also be controversial to kill John, which is a problem, but as long as it doesn't feel too forced, it can hopefully work with people

Since they changed the future (judgement day is happening later) the human Arnold doesn’t get involved in the war in this new timeline. They could use Arnold as a human character. Adds to the suspense because he could actually die. But no we get the genisys plot again except that genisys did the terminator storyline better somehow....

I liked Salvation because it was bold enough to actually depict the Future War. I think it got a bad rap for not having the iconic plasma rifles, and for the subplot with Marcus that distracted away from John a bit too much, but it was a step in the right direction. One or two more movies with Christian Bale would have closed the time loop and ended with John sending Kyle back in time -- like they were sitting on a golden formula and just gave up on it for no reason.

I reckon T2 is a great movie, but a terrible sequel. A big thing in T1 was that fate was inevitable, while it's the opposite in T2. T1 is essentially a horror movie, with a sci-fi monster that they can't really hurt; while T2 is an action movie with a secondary protagonist that can just about go toe-to-toe with the antagonist. There are also minor points, like how the liquid metal man shouldn't have been able to time travel since he has no skin. It feels more like a separate movie that was heavily inspired by T1, rather than an actual sequel.

@@MilanousMedia I mean, not necessarily. These are movies about time travel, and with time travel you can always come up with an explanation for why Terminators are still being sent to the past. It could be that the new terminators are being sent by the Skynet from the time before Sarah and John stopped Judgement Day because "time is a circle, not a flat line" or something like that. Or use the same reason used in Dark Fate to explain why a Terminator killed John: Skynet just sent a bunch of terminators to different points and times and they remained there even after Skynet was destroyed; you could say one or more of those terminatos had the mission to kill Dani, who (in the future that now will never happen) saved John from something, or taught him something that he would later use to fight against Skynet, idk, let's just say she had an important role in John's life. This way you have a reason to have John not be in the movie, they could just say he's hiding somewhere because there still are terminators going after him, and Sarah's out there hunting them down and that's how she end ups meeting Dani, and then you could go full circle having Sarah protecting a young naive girl in a more small scale low budget adventure like T1 was.

In Dark Fate, however, they were so determined to push the "strong female hero" trope that Grace isn't in the least bit threatened by the Terminator at any point and in fact spends the entire film beating it into the ground, meaning there's absolutely no suspense whenever they fight because you know she's automatically going to win.

How did the new Terminator find John Connor? It's established that most pre-war records were destroyed, that's why the Terminator was randomly killing people named Sarah Connor in T1 and why the T-1000 had to look up police records to find John in T2. So how does the new Terminator find John? Sarah would have been smart enough to use fake names and live off the grid. There would have been no way for the Terminator to track John down.

According to what you see on the 1st 5 minutes of the movie, Sarah thought it was over and there was no need to go off-the Grid.

When a character can be summed up with "they're a girl" or "they're a Mexican" or "they're the gay one" that isn't a character at all. When writing any type of "strong character" you should focus on their weakness and build up more of that throughout as they slowly overcome it. Sarah Conner in Terminator 2 was hell-bent on stopping the future to the point where she would commit a murder. But then when it came down to it she wasn't able to do it. This was a powerful moment in the show. Knowing that if you pull the trigger you could end the future but at the loss of yourself. Writing a character at all shouldn't be hard. No one should be perfect and flawless. You shouldn't make a "strong female character." You should make a "strong character" that is female.

[@Vasharan]

Right? Humans don't do that. If we finish our bucket list we just keep adding new stuff onto the pile. There's always something more we want, or think we want. But a machine that completes its prime directive? Especially one that is sentient and possibly sapient? Does it change, grow or learn? Or maybe it just returns to its default programming ('blend in with humans until further orders'). The flip side of this question: what happens to a machine that fails its prime directive? Does it do the same thing? Questions we'll never see posed by big action movies these days.

[@Kartissa]

*"Or maybe it just returns to its default programming ('blend in with humans until further orders')."* That's how I'd have explained it, rather than a sudden change of heart. It leaves the possibility open that it's not actually one of the good guys, and is just sending Sarah Conner out to kill other Terminators because they're agents of Skynet's rival. *"what happens to a machine that fails its prime directive? Does it do the same thing?"* In the Terminator's case, if it fails it's task, it's probably been destroyed, so the question is irrelevant. But it *is* something to consider for other AI-based stories.

[@suddenllybah]

@@Kartissa Honestly, having Legion be a rival of Skynet that was crushed in the original timeline, and that Arni still has a sub routine to suppress Legion works to both keep him a robot without being hacked by non-robot overload following humans, and explains why he fights other Terminators.

Yeah, i was kidding with that, they used a water&vaseline spray to make his skin look less human, mercury street-lights to give the shots a colder and more 'robotic' look, and some simple acting tricks like, the Terminator moving his eyes before his head because that's what robots would do, because robots are efficient. ... *HEY, REMEMBER WHEN OLD TERMINATOR HEAD-BUTTED A SKYBORNE HELICOPTER BY JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE IN ORDER TO DESTROY IT?* (and people wonder why the new movies are shit.)

What they never seem to remember is the Terminator franchise started out w a genuinely groundbreaking horror film.

[@Phrygian12]

Same here! I understand that we'd know the ending, but it could be a side story that isn't centered around John. I'd like to see a bit of distrust and paranoia. How is it that the world ended and there are these giant machines killing. Yet this one guy who knows how to destroy them and predict robot infiltrators that look human? Also, how were they able to capture and reprogram a Terminator? John wasn't the only one who lead humanity to victory. There had to be others involved. Heck, the whole point of humanoid terminators being used wasn't to just go around infiltrating hidden areas full of survivors. They could have been created to kill specific targets. People who were valuable in possibly winning. I've been wanting a Terminator film that is taken place during that future timeline.

[@SupermanOG]

They tried to be clever by killing off John but if anything it’s massively backfired and negates T1 and T2 in many ways. I think a T3 should’ve purely been set in the future and covered the war. Then during the film it should’ve brought the series full circle as John sends a T800 to protect him, as the humans had essentially won the war and the machines resorted to sending a terminator back to kill John. Then the latter part of the film should’ve made it clear how the machines failed to change the future, but SARAH/John did and skynet collapses once and for all. The end.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Agreed.

shouldn't have bothered with John actually because there's no Skynet to kill John. John would been really old by the time Legion came, there's no need to kill John.
