Hey, you want a full circle ending for the franchise? An alternative ending to Judgement Day. The terminator lives and John and Sarah go into hiding. Skynet keeps sending back terminators to kill him, but only find the hero terminator, who calls himself John Connor. He eventually leads the rebellion against skynet and wins the war. Because John Connor was always a terminator.

[@angolin9352]

Awesome idea to wrap up a terrible (minus the amazing first 2 films) franchise. It had exactly 0 chance of happening, though, because the purpose is not to make a good movie, but to milk a franchise dry. Both of the first 2 films could have wrapped up the series, but the bad movies (3 and every film after) left it open for more movies, because the goal for those films was to make money, not good movies.

It bugged me so much how Grace was so antagonistic towards Sarah for no reason other than to seem tough. Like come on, she saved both their lives, has experience killing terminators, and understands that Dani is the key to humanities victory over the machines so she'll protect her no matter what.

[@haku8135]

Except she's not the key because we JUST LEARNED no matter what you do, the future will not change. They can't stop it, everything is hopeless. What stupid writers.

[@Axterix13]

I kind of understand her antagonism, though. Sarah wants to kill the Rev 9, while Grace wants to run. And given that the Rev 9 doesn't take any damage until the final sequence, I'd say, yeah, wanting to stand and fight was pretty stupid. The only reason they manage to fight at all is because the movie makers make the rev 9 push main characters, rather than stab/cut like he does with everyone else.

It makes perfect sense that all the stuff they did would screw up the timeline, and to the point where it follows: "Your savior is no longer your savior because Skynet, which you'll recall was on the verge of defeat in T1, ended up basically causing itself to be retconned out of existence, and the only reason why it's still aiming at John is because that's the information they had when they spammed all these T-850's, but no, one of their robots combined with John's mother and the lead scientist for Skynet to Pogo-paradox Skynet out of reality". What doesn't make sense to me is that it causes the exact same concept to happen almost _exactly_ the same way. And I gotta agree with Doug, which doesn't often happen lately, that the fake-out that Danni's gonna give birth to the leader of the resistance instead of be the leader? That was so freaking obvious I could see it a mile away.

Honestly the thing about Sarah thinking it was going to be Danni's kid, makes more sense when you consider she was a airhead waitress in the 80's and now she's beating the NSA. Her life got RUINED, and it wasn't even about her. It makes sense that she's bitter and that she thinks this poor kid is just collateral.

[@shayla106]

But it was about her because she raised him, John even states that his mom raised him to be a soldier. But I guess people have an issue with not being the center of attention. So no her assuming that it would be Danny’s son makes no sense.

[@TotallyHuman]

@@shayla106 "Hi, yes someone tried to kill me, because I'm a mom" not, "Because I'm a influential figure who saved the world." Not. "Someone tried to kill me because I raised a kid right." No, they made it clear that the goal was to kill jc before he was born.

[@yeldarb141983]

Except that her being bitter that it's not her, doesn't really work here, although it does make a convenient segue into what would have been a better film. The whole thing was set up so that the leader of the resistance was a woman anyway, so why not just make it Sarah Conner? Hell, you could have her fall apart, be depressed and angry, then decide to get her revenge, finding new purpose by tracking down and killing the terminator that killed her son. You could even have the movie end with her surviving judgement day and being the one who leads the human resistance. Besides, there's two big holes in this film with the t-800, established in previous films. 1) the t-800s learning computer is locked down and can only be reactivated by shutting him down and resetting his cpu, as shown in t-2) I hate that I'm calling back to t-3 as that movie sucked, but one of the things that it got right was that skynet would have had some sort of secondary mission for the t-800 once it completed its mission to kill John Conner., most likely to insure that nothing interfered with skynet's own creation. There's a third hole, but that one goes back as least as far as t-3 and arguably even t-2, depending on how you wanna look at it, so I'll leave it alone for now.

[@MathVersion01]

I think it kinda makes sense considering the Terminator killed John and not her, that after all she's done she is not even considered as a threat by skynet. She's also must be really upset to have survived to her kid, so I can picture her thinking that way after all this years. But the excecution is not good, I don't see why Grace would not reveal that information to them (at first I though it was because she was in love with Daniella and it was just hard for her to reveal about the future, but no...)

[@Shadowkey392]

5:39 actually the other films ARE still canon. You see, thanks to the existence of time travel, all the films in this franchise are simultaneously in the same continuity and different continuities. There’s actually a scene in the film that hints at this, when Grace states that Skynet doesn’t exist in her future. The implication is that there are multiple possible futures, the evidence for this being the fact that, despite Skynet not existing, the original T-800, manufactured by Skynet, DOES exist, which it couldn’t without Skynet. Coupled with the fact that, in Genisys, it was established that there are other timelines, this means that the ORIGINAL timeline does, in fact, still exist.

@@thewolfofwallstreet627 i don't think Skynet ever knows there were terminators in the history. because the biggest secret about time travel is that it could be done. if Skynet knows there were terminators, he would instantly know 'time travel is possible', then it would devote way more resources into time travel, and gets it way faster. then, there would be a terminator army sent back in time to kill the entire human race, rather than one John Connor. so, what i think is, terminators do change the future, each terminator is actually sent by a different Skynet, and each Skynet never knows there were terminators in the history, or doesn't even know time-travel could have worked. instead, every Skynet does time-travel blindly, out of desperation, as a final struggle before gets destroyed by humans, so every terminator always is under-prepared and working alone, because they don't know there are/were others to cooperate with. this hopefully could explain all those sequels.

With Skynet and Judgment Day gone, so should John Connor. Because the time loop has ended.

What would've been more sense is John disappearing and Sarah always seeing the visions of John here and there, talking to here. Sometimes she has visions of herself inside a padded cell. Sometimes she is being hunted by a lurking stalker. A psychological thriller. Then end it with her realizing by ending Judgment Day, she messed up the timeline.

It can learn to mimic human behavior, notice that a lot of people are married and old single dudes just standing places is considered suspicious, so he could learn the standard date algorithm, find a desperate woman and make a decoy family. Would he develop self awareness or compassion though? Doubt it.

[@tuckershuff1441]

A better idea could've been to have it do just that. Have it power down and go pretty much catatonic. Then have Sarah take the non-functioning chassis and put it into storage to study/keep from Cyberdyne. Then when Grace and Danni come alone, have Grace help her power it back up and then reprogram it to fight for them so they'll have a new drone. Eliminates the family element and gives Sarah and the Terminator more weight in the story.

Be it SJWs or poor writers what I can’t handle is these people who want to make a girl power movie don’t understand and diss on the movie that actually does it right. Sarah Conner didn’t just give birth to the leader she raised that leader. Her role for the future was just as important as her son’s, John would be nothing of it weren’t for his mother who taught and raised him to be a soldier. In T2 even after she had given birth to John, her role in The story wasn’t finished, she needed to guide and protect John for the future. Even Skynet, a machine which doesn’t understand emotions and philosophy, knew she was still a threat. If the T-1000 fails to kill John then plan B was to kill Sarah, killing her means John losses the guidance he needs to become a leader. Wether Sarah or John dies, the leader is never born and Skynet still wins. Sarah Conner wasn’t a womb, she was a mother

Seriously though, I know that they wanted a racial minority female to be the savior of humanity this time around, and that is perfectly fine with me, but having that be the case and having the character of John Connor retain all dignity is NOT "mutually exclusive". This is even possible if John is dead just so long as this new protagonist is his daughter. This is actually fully possible since the racial origin of Hispanics in the first place is that racially European men from The Iberian Pennindula reproduced with indigenous women from mainly Mesoamerica and The Andes Mountins, so, in an infinitely better explanation that what the hasbeen creator of this movie came up with, have it where John met and fell in love with an Aztec, Mayan, or Mixtec women, having the protagonist with her, until one day when she was six or seven, five fricken terminators show up and try to kill not him, but his daughter. The Mesoamerican mother manages to kill one with a javelin that she grabs off the wall under some metals before being killed, and John being mortally wounded while killing the other four, living just long enough to tell his daughter how, in a dead timeline, he was the warrior who led an army of the last humans against the machines that had killed nearly all other humans, and won, and for this reason, they sent machines to the past in order to kill him before he could ever oppose him, and yet, this very action made it so he, his mother, and a few others were able to prevent the apocalypse from ever occurring. Going on, he told her that the very fact that they tried to kill her could only mean that SHE was now the one to lead humanity's army, and the future thought averted was merely delayed by a few decades. In addition to preserving John's dignity, this also serves to make the new protagonist a much better character than what we got, as that kind of trauma before the age of ten, the pressure she feels at being humanity's savior, and the fear of more robots coming would leave her paranoid, an expert at hiding and sneaking around, and to have spent the last decade looting the corpses of those dead from The Mexican Drug War and using these weapons to train, becoming rather good, though not quite an expert, at guns, unforchunately also preventing her grandmother Sarah from finding her. This would have led to her being a much more interesting character from the get go, the heir to her father, and would have also made the interactions between her and her grandmother much more meaningful. Hollywood should hire me to fix their scripts for them.

I actually saw a decent idea on a review of Dark Fate of instead of Arnold, it's John that Sarah goes to instead. This idea that they grew apart because John believed they had finished the fight and saved the future so they could relax and be a family again but Sarah could never let the idea that Skynet could never be stopped. Or maybe she'd spent so long preparing for Skynet and the apocalypse that the idea of it finally being over leaves her feeling empty and unable to be a normal mom. It kinda seemed neat in a 'What can a savior do, now that there's nothing needing saving?" kind of way. They meet up again, John talks about the family he's made for himself, the normal life he's managed to live up to this point that Sarah never had. Like Sarah picks up a photo of John and his family and has to struggle not to cry. Sarah: "Cute kid, what's his name?" John: "I named him Kyle, I...may not have known my dad but at the very least I felt like I should honor him somehow. I felt like you'd approve too. I would have named him after...well you know, but he never had a name, did he?" Sarah: "He didn't...but I think they'd both be proud of you if they saw you." John: "Well...I had a great role model." Sarah: "Yeah, that tin can was more of a father figure than anyone I ever tried to be with." John: "You know that's not what I mean. I missed you Mom, it took me years to finally understand but I get why you couldn't go back to a normal life. Do I wish things could have been different? Of course I do. I wish you could have been there to see my graduate college, or there when I got married, or there when Kyle was born, but I know you've been lurking in the shadows protecting me from any possible threats. I just wish I could've been strong enough to take the reins and protect you and let you live your life." Sarah: "Honey, I was a waitress at a two bit diner before I met your Dad. I didn't have much of a life before or after." They reconnect after Sarah finds out that John still did his prep work too because she had drilled it into him so much and he still had those fears that Skynet may come back in some form too, he was just better at hiding it and tried harder to move on. John helps them fight the Rev-9 until he heroically sacrifices himself to save Dani, symbolically remaining humanity's savior just by passing the torch. Is it perfect? No, but I just feel like it would have been different in a good way.

She's the Virgin Mary, and nobody cares about the Virgin Mary beyond her role as a babymama. And this motherhood obsession is in a lot of Cameron movies.

I saw Circle recently, wasn't bad.

[@angusng816]

I want Nostalgia Critic to review Outcast (2014). It's so bad.

[@stickmanstickian]

Better add Meggy's Destiny to that list, cause he acknowledges Smg4.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Definitely Superman 3. It's my least favorite movie ever, or at least it was before I watched Nutcracker 3D.

Dune (1984)

[@glennwelsh9784]

The issue with Dark Fate's Arnie learning emotions and developing empathy goes back to T2. There's an entire scene in T2 explaining that the T-800's ability to think for itself and learn is hindered by its AI chip inside its skull, and John and Sarah literally had to cut his head open, pull out the chip, and shut him down in order to turn on his learning ability. So how in the hell did Dark Fate Arnie ever do that? Or even choose to do that? So the whole point of Skynet hindering a Terminator's ability to learn and empathize becomes moot.

[@FutureDeep]

Deleted scene. It's only in the extended version. It was a very well shot scene but I agree with the decision to remove it. It makes no sense to have a Terminator unable to learn certain things.

[@chukyuniqul]

@@FutureDeep also you would think the operation woulda been done by connor in the future.

[@windowsVD]

@@FutureDeep That's explained in that very scene. Skynet prevented them from leaning too much because they risked becoming self-aware and going rogue against Skynet beyond their intended programming. They could still attain basic information, but could never learn enough to go beyond their own programming. Makes perfect sense if you ask me, especially seeing as it's exactly what happens by the end of T2 where it developed its own moral compass. It learned the value of human life through John and chose to sacrifice itself to ensure that Skynet could never be created even going against John's orders despite being programmed to follow his command. Plus if all Terminators could just gradually learn on their own and form more human traits, it kinda goes against what was established of them in the original. Remember what Kyle said? "It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, fear, or remorse! And it absolutely will not stop, EVER! Until you are DEAD!" If anything, it makes more sense to keep that scene in, otherwise you'd have to assume its newfound learning capabilities was due to it being reprogrammed by John and not a default capability that all Terminators inherently possess.

[@windowsVD]

@@chukyuniqul That could be easily explained by adult John and the Resistance not being able to predict what the Terminator would do once it was no longer bound by its programming and figured it would be safer if the Terminator would only pursue the Resistance's intended goal. What if the Terminator came to the conclusion that humans were an oppressive cancer that needed to be wiped out? You know, like in nearly the majority of movies about artificial intelligence? They were fortunate enough that young John taught it good human values.

[@chukyuniqul]

@@windowsVD oh come on, that plot point was hackneyed even back in the 90s. The only explanation is that since the timeline can not be changed in t1 and 2 connor knew he would have to do that himself as a child to...idk, see how the 'nators innards work.

[@klimmr]

19:18 It's like the Boomerang Twist in WandaVision. It was Wanda all along, no it was Agatha All Along and a Vision brought back to life. NOPE, it was Wanda all along and she created a new Vision.

The terminator living in the cabin in this looks like a peek at what might have been if the T800 from the second movie was allowed to live.

[@SakuraAvalon]

These movies just ruin his sacrifice. As we now know, if he hadn't died, nothing would have changed. Well, except he probably would have stopped John from dieing from the Terminator sent back by the Skynet...that doesn't exist...anymore...

[@EvanTomiko]

It had more sense when the T800 is reprogrammed to be good. Here still a murderer with his mission completed. Now he wants to have a family...what?

[@davidgantenbein9362]

@@EvanTomiko And lets better not think about it too hard or we may remember that T2 actually defined why this wouldn’t happen as Skynet doesn’t allow the terminators to evolve in any way (Skynet had some level of intelligence after all and didn’t want any competition from an evolved terminator in the past).

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@davidgantenbein9362 Didn't T2 address this directly, by the T-800 saying that there's a chip that stops them from having full freedom, to prevent them from ever turning on Skynet?

[@davidgantenbein9362]

@@SakuraAvalon Exactly, that chip would prevent the T-800 from Dark Fate to depart from his original programming. So who removed it and why would he have allowed anybody to do so? It makes no sense in the original context (and it’s supposed to fit in the original context).

[@chicostephenson]

i was pissed at this movie the second they killed john connor. that just basically said that all the movies we've seen and loved mean absolutely nothing. i have a hard time getting past that.

[@andyz2861]

You’re hardly alone. What made it worse was that they clearly had nothing worth replacing it all with. It wasn’t “we have this other character who is so awesome that you’ll get over the loss of John Connor.” It was a grown adult who is less of a charismatic leader than the ten year old who died. Not to mention that it makes no sense. If they stopped Skynet, how did it send another T-800 back after being stopped? If they didn’t stop Skynet, why was Legion there instead in the future? But, plot holes like that take all of ten minutes to notice, which is more thought than the writers gave this script.

[@ladychrya9379]

@@andyz2861 It's time travel nonsense. John Connor exists because time travel exists because Skynet wanted to kill John Connor.

[@-Zikade-]

What makes it even worse is that they did nothing with it. It was like "O hi we killed this chosen one only to replace him with another chosen one whose only defining quality is that it's a girl." Bruh! Like NC said maybe it could have been interesting if it was just about Sarah and the Terminator dealing with John's death but nope, they had to insert another chosen one there.

Terminator series ended at T2, with the original ending

[@SkullKid7000]

That scene of Danni in the future being the leader/savior of humanity makes no sense. She looks exactly the same age as she does during the present day scenes. Which makes you ask "Is Judgement Day next week/month/year?". At least with John you see him as a kid during T2 and in the future scenes is shown as an adult. That makes sense since time passes. The other part that makes no sense about Danni's future scene is that they never explain why she is a leader. She gave a little speech. That's all. John was military trained. He created his own future by sending Kyle, another military trained soldier, back in time to not only create him with his mother but to also teach his mom how to survive and pass the knowledge down to himself.

[@CLDJ227]

17:57 Yes that should have been Miles Dyson's son that would have made so much sense.

[@WretchedClown]

As a fan: I totally agree, the visual call out would have been awesome! But in reality: NOPE! This young boy (Danny) witnessed an assassination attempt on his father's life and even put himself in between his wounded father and the same woman with a gun pointed at his head. Then, he was ushered into a room by a slightly older kid to calm him down but never saw the robot arm nor hear the explanation about Skynet and the future. By the next morning Danny finds out his Dad was made to leave the house with the assassin and is now dead?! It's not like John could've filled him in on any of that information later because he is also dead (from the beginning of Dark Fate). There's no amount of explaining Danny's mother could do where he doesn't hate Sarah forever. From Danny's perspective, that wouldn't make sense. The only contact he would make would be to sabotage her.

[@turma8eac]

The new terminator disguise at least is an actual disguise that can blend in a crowd instead of a model or a bodybuilder

[@mikejunior211]

In the original screenplay of 1984 The Terminator, Arnold was supposed to play Kyle Reese and Michael Biehn supposed to play the T-800.

You mean like how the T-1000 was able to blend in with a crowd easily?

7:07 she has health problems BECAUSE she's a cyborg. Her cybernetics are ULTRA taxing on her body, it's basically like super adrenaline. You get a huge surge to strength, speed and reaction time but it strains your body so much that over-usage would kill you.

[@ZackaryBiagi]

I'm still angry at them killing John Conner. It's obvious that they killed him off soly for girl power and no plot relevance, even though it would have been satisfying enough to have Sarah and Grace alone. The franchises whole purpose revolved around Connor and his importance to the resistance. It's still my most hated terminator moment of all time.

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

@threedoubleyou dotcom Yeah but the thing that aggravates me is that they essentially replaced him with a knock off version of John Connor in a mexican chick named Dani, who literally has little to no personality in the film itself. And the way they tried to transition her character from a naive young woman to a military leader bad ass all in one film made her arc feel rushed honestly. I would've rather they just would've gone with their original idea in "Terminator Salvation" where the cyborg guy takes up John Connor's name and becomes the leader of the resistance because it would've not only made it more compelling, but it would've made a lot more sense when you think about it. Since he's a cyborg built by skynet, he's stronger, and he knows more about skynet's defenses than anyone else would. Plus the concept of him using John's name to inspire hope sounds like more interesting than just replacing John with a Latina girl who essentially a knock off female version of the original; minus the personality and likeability..
