The problem with subsequent Terminator movies is they don't understand what makes Terminators compelling. The T800 was scary because the audience has no idea how, or even if, it can be killed. The T1000 ups the stakes by being even more tough. All the sequels after that have introduced terminators that are more capable, maybe even more dangerous, but they never feel unstoppable like the first 2.
@voltinator2 жыл бұрын
I don't think the problem was the terminators that showed up later. They were really just adjustments on the T1000. The real problem was that subsequent Terminators didn't represent a social threat. The T800 was originally the embodiment of the unstoppable drugged out rapist - a real mythic bad guy in the 80s. The T1000 was the embodiment of the discreet pedophile - again a real social threat in the placid 90s. Where do you go from there? Team terminator???The black widow trope with a female terminator in T3 would have worked if John Connor wasn't a scrub and someone rich and famous which would have made more sense symbolically. And Terminator Salvation was a botched, overdramatic war story with no point and none of the aesthetic of a future war zone, again this attributes to the fact that there is no Terminator representing a dynamic social threat.

I was cautious because I’m not a fan of McG as a director. But the idea of seeing the future war was very exciting. The trailer for this movie was REALLY good (although after seeing the film, I realised the trailer totally gave away the Marcus Wright plot twist in the film!) I actually thought the first half of Salvation wasn’t bad. But then it just turned to shit after the “twist” (which we knew was coming anyway) For me, there’s only two Terminator movies.

Feels really weird to have this conversation and not make any mention of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Especially as it feels like everything that disappointed fans in the movies was provided in the show. Deeper exploration of the characters and themes, great action set pieces, and a tendency to avoid easy answers in favor of giving the audience something to actually think about. The show had some filler episodes and could be navel-gazey at times, but it was overall an underrated gem of 2000s television. I'm guessing it's not on any current streaming services, and / or Nerdstalgic is too young to have watched it when it aired? TSCC wasn't a movie but Cameron was still involved with the show and it feels like it warrants a mention in any discussion of the sequels, prequels and reboots of the Terminator universe.

Thank you, you put it into words. If you don't have the original creator(s) bringing back a franchise or fandom, you need someone who understood the original creator's/creators' vision well enough to replicate them to a decent extent, at least for the core parts that are crucial to what made the franchise or fandom what it is. Sure, some minor changes here and there are fine, but if too much of what is central to the franchise or fandom is altered, and not replaced by something equal or better at least, then a reboot of such a franchise or fandom will look less like a resurrection done by Jesus and more like a reanimation of an undead corpse like Frankenstein. It will be a shell or husk of its former glory and fall very short to its previous, original version in terms of quality (likely to the point where leaving it dead or gone and moving on would have been more satisfying than creating something cringey at best or further polluting existence with a new abomination at worst).
@mahatmarandy59772 жыл бұрын
John Walker yes! Exactly! I like the Frankenstein bit in particular. :) I think the best example of a reboot I've personally seen was the animated remake of Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers, which didn't really have a lot of contact with the people who made the original show 40 years earlier, but who really solidly understood the core. They kept the bones of the story, expanded on the stuff that worked, dropped the stuff that didn't, added a lot of new characters and complexity, and ended up with a show that could justify its own existence as something more than a cash grab or nostalgia bait. Which, when you think about it, is pretty amazing when we're talking about a dumb cartoon about a world war 2 battleship in space. Because the people who remade it understood it and loved it, but weren't blind to the flaws. Meanwhile when Disney attempted to do a live action movie version of it in the 90s their script was just a complete abomination. The new lost in space is not bad either. Nobody is more surprised than me by that, but even though it is a much less faithful adaptation, The bones are there and they did pretty good stuff with them. Which I wouldn't mention except that this is the fourth time someone has attempted to remake that damn show before anybody got it right. (Including the orig nal, if i'm honest :) )

@henriknobinder73952 жыл бұрын
2:44 The problem is that according to the first movie's logic, there are no circles to close. What we saw in that movie was a closed causality loop. Skynet, in a desperate last-ditch effort to rid itself of its enemy, inadvertently creates the conditions for both its own and John Connor's creation. There is no "original" timeline. The past can't be changed. Things are happening the way they have always had. T2, by getting rid of this concept and saying that the past can indeed be changed, therefore doesn't close any circles, but rather opens up the possibility for further sequels with more and more inane wibbly wobbly time shenanigans. This is absolutely not unintentional. Rather, Cameron's reasoning for making the change was that there was no franchise potential for a story with a closed causality loop as its focal point. I would therefore actually go as far as to argue that while T2 is undeniably a good movie, it is in fact a terrible sequel to The Terminator as it undermines its premise and lays the foundation that makes all the movies that follow it so braindead. The franchise therefore shouldn't have ended after T2, but rather already after the first movie. If a sequel absolutely needed had to be made at all, it should probably just have told us the story of the war John Connor fought in the future rather than being yet another time travel story.

I've been thinking about this for a while and if I got to continue the franchise, I'd go into a lower budget, horror-oriented direction more akin to 2020s "The Invisible Man". What if the protagonist knew that a Terminator was after them but didn't know who it was out of their circle of friends? Something like that. The end could have some action, but keep it more contained, character-based and creepy body-horror-y.

The story was resolved after Terminator 2. The only thing I think you could possibly do after Terminator 2 is a movie about the future war that ends with Kyle Reese going back in time, making the series a big loop. But every new Terminator movie is made hedging bets about more sequels. None of them seem to have a actual conclusion in mind, which makes them feel even more useless for undoing the ending of Terminator 2 and each other. The entire central conflict of the Terminator universe feels limp and pointless now

I had an idea about where the Terminator franchise could go. I thought what if Skynet didn't just go after the leader of the resistance but anyone who gave humanity a fighting edge. For example, an engineer who makes the weapons that gives humanity a chance or the software engineer who makes a devastating computer virus. And there would be this twist, well not so much twist, that the Terminator sent after these new characters come from different timelines. That with each interaction a Terminator has with the past the future slightly changes. But because Terminators are as subtle as a fourth of July fireworks display, stories of metal men permeate the cultural zeitgeist it sort of creates this most likely future of Terminators but one that is not certain. Which would explain why every Terminator post T2 has different abilities. I just think this could have the possibility of maintaining the theme of the cyclical nature of time while allowing some room for expansion.

Dark Horse published a comic book miniseries called Terminator: Sector War, which was set at the same time as the first movie within the contemporary present day, but in another city and following another target for temporal termination. The Terminator franchise tried to center itself around the lives of Sarah and John Conner, how they were intrinsic to the dark fate of the future war, when there were other stories about other people waiting to be told. Dark Fate even straight up killed John in the prologue with little fanfare. The increasing use of time travel also served to undermine that in the original, it was a last ditch attempt by SkyNet to turn events in favour of the machines. By Genesys, it’s gotten to the point any John, Kyle or Sarah can stash a time machine for emergency use and jump ahead a few decades. It’s the set up for Sarah Connor Chronicles and Genesys.

A good follow up story code have been figured out from there .Real consideration for the style of the prior films. Real organic consequences of where t2 left off. Or tell a new story that feels like it comes from this world at LEAST. In my opinion ...beat for beat. .everything about it...Logan is the Perfect model for what a new terminator movie should be. Strip away the flash and get a focused, intimate road story going. Barely surviving. Not knowing how to escape this. ...no 3rd act cgi explosion. Just character and struggle. Honest to God I'd watch a drama about Sarah and John Connor rebuilding their life after t2 over some over the top Sci fi action sequel. Not that it's what I want...but THAT is a more natural story to tell in that world. Never should have killed John connor. Never should have done the trendy thing and replace him with a character to check off boxes for inclusion. The series already had a Perfect and believable badass in Sarah Connor. If I wrote that movie I'd have aimed for a road movie about Sarah and John taking out the last few remaining Arnold lookalike robots that came back in time. Just erasing what was left of sky net

The 3rd terminator was pretty good and had subverted expectations “the future /past can not be unwritten”. The whole time the audience is expecting to win and stop judgment day. The machines tried to kill John and John tires to stop the rise of machines. You can delay the end but ultimately the end is inevitable. Much like the popularity of the series. After 3 it looks like they tried to evolve by showing more of the actual war. All except dark fate which is just a re-skin reboot of the characters, i thought they told the whole story from John connors origins until his demise “becoming the terminator / leader /protector of Skynet”

The first two, classics, with the sequel being the single best argument for the concept of "sometimes, rarely, a sequel can be better than the original" and while yes, it leans far more into action, is still horror. Less "unstoppable, literal killing machine out to get you and all you can do is run" (though that' definitely still there) it sheds light on the macro scale of the existential horror of humanity's doomed fate if they don't try to change it, the nuclear blast scene, while not exactly realistic, is visceral and horrifying. T2: Judgement Day is like the RE4 of the Terminator franchise; excellent action, still maintains horror vibes while escalating the threat to focus on not just John or Sarah's lives/wellbeing, but also bringing the WHY their lives are so important with all that's truly at stake. The rest range from "not that great - to pretty terrible" but are all, I would argue, fun. Then the latest film happened, and I personally add it to the first two as a must watch, because I found it to be pretty fucking great, and if you pretend the others after T2 never happened, fits much more nicely into the series.

0:58 "..he dreamed of an unstoppable metal skeleton tracking him down attempting to kill him after developing this idea further.." That's a nice story except... "So, Ellison and his attorneys then contacted Hemdale (the financiers of The Terminator) and Orion (the movie's distributor) to discuss a payment or settlement, with the obvious threat of a lawsuit in case none was offered. And soon after this initial contact, Ellison's complaint received even more support. A Houston criminal defense attorney might have agreed that Ellison seemed to have some grounds for a lawsuit “About a week after my attorney contacted Hemdale, I got a call from the editor of Starlog magazine. ....It turned out Cameron had given an interview to Starlog and, after I began inquiring at Hemdale, [The Terminator producer Gale Anne] Hurd sent Starlog a legal demand to see the interview.” According to Ellison, Gale Anne Hurd then modified Starlog's article on The Terminator. She omitted a quote from Cameron in the article that read, “'Oh, I took a couple of Outer Limits segments.'” The reason that the Starlog editor had contacted Ellison was to provide him with the original version of the article, the one without Gale Anne Hurd's editing. Said Ellison, “At this point we went to Hemdale and to Orion and we said, 'I'm afraid we got him with the smoking gun. Now do you want to do something about this or do you want us to whip your ass in open court? We'd be perfectly happy to do it either way.'” Between the account of Tracy Torme and the Starlog interview, the attorneys for Hemdale and Orion quickly realized that they wanted no part of a lawsuit, by Ellison's accounts. “They took one look at this shit and their attorneys said, 'Settle.'”

By admitting as much Cameron attracted the infamous ire of Ellison who was very protective of his works. Ellison made compelling arguments that many writers are not properly paid and live hand to mouth as it is, and deserve to get their due if and when the money rolls in. As a young man I thought Ellison was a real a-hole, but now that i'm old I REALLY understand that money is even more necessary with increased age and ill health. This video cheats the audience of something wonderful when it leaves Ellison's contribution out of the Terminator creation story. The creators of the later "Terminator" sequels would have benefited from getting some "inspiration" from those classic "Outer Limits" episode!

Unfortunately a lot of the script falls flat, but aside from that the visuals and cinematography are great, most of the robots look interesting and unique, and getting more than a keyhole look into the future only really spoken about in the rest of the movies was incredibly fertile ground for expanding the cannon without harming the rest of the franchise.

Terminator 1 was a product of its time. Cold War fatalism and techno-phobic anxieties mixed with the ascendant slasher film genre was a winning formula for something that was relevant. T2 was a subversion of that first films ideas, with America intoxicated on the fall of the USSR, an embrace of technology, and blockbuster Action films really in their prime during that time. The Matrix in 1999 basically took over for the franchise for the Internet era, and Terminator lost any shot at relevance it once had. You could make a decent Terminator film if you made it about our current anxieties about tech and automation, but that'd stepping away from all the signifiers the franchise has desperately held onto. It would mean dispensing with nostalgia, which ain't happening.

I was a child of the 80s and teen in the 90s and I thank god for that because I saw original, brand new stuff like Jurassic Park, The Abyss, Hellraiser and so forth - films I saw and had NO idea what to expect beyond the tv trailer - original content with a plot that could go anywhere. Also things like KZbin ruin anything new these days (eg John Wick, Hunger Games etc) because you can see most of the film from reviews and scenes you hear about. I feel so sorry for young viewers and movie makers today because it’s impossible to really have the great sense of not knowing what to expect from a film anymore. I remember when Blair Witch Project came out in the mid 90s and there was a time when everyone thought it was a documentary snuff film. Today? No way that works. The internet has removed any sense of mystery and created a perpetually cynical fan base especially in the young adult demographic; not their fault, they’re just exposed to too much reality now that all the fun and mystery I was blessed with is gone.
