John rings his foster parents. The mom answers and we learn during the conversation that she's the T-1000 in disguise.

Which means before the phone call he didn't know was happening, the T-1000 was chopping veg and presumably going to have a lovely dinner with the husband. I get waiting to see if John will call and give up his location, but why keep up the pretence, why keep the guy alive, why even bother changing your appearance for a phone call. Why is he chopping veg?!

Maybe the T-1000 is a big Dana Carvey fan.

Doesn't it kill the Dad (through the milk carton) whilst on the phone to John? It's presumably blending in, and the moment it's not neccesary it drops the pretence.

I also get the feeling that T1000 was waiting for John to come home, and during the phone call it realizes that he hosed up the dog's name and alerted John to run. Or recognized T-800 voice modulation or something and knows that blending in became irrelevant.

There's a deleted scene where the T-1000 goes into John's bedroom and finds something that indicates the dog's real name and that's when he realizes he's been tricked.

Sure I remember it as the T-1000 killing the dog and reading it's nametag, but it's so long since I've watched the film I could be misremembering.

Can a T-1000 turn his arm into a Capri-Sun pouch and drink it himself or is that too complex?

It never occurred to me that limiting his forms to other people or swords and knives was a cop out for the FX limitations of the time. He can create fizzy hair for the foster mom as well as complex clothing patterns and textures, but for weapons it's swords and hooks and that's it.

I always thought it was a little weird that dogs automatically detect Terminators and go apeshit whenever they’re around but none of the dogs at the Mexican gun compound react to Arnold at all.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
My only problem with endgame is that when they come back from getting the stones and Nebula and Widow are missing everyone asks about Widow and nobody even thinks about Nebula. I know she’s a member of the family and Nebula isn’t, but you’d think maybe someone would at least notice, especially the guy she went on her mission with who was standing right next to her one second ago.

Also shouldn't Rhodes have noticed Nebula's not burned arm when they got back? I figured that would come into play somewhere and maybe it did and that footage was later cut, but you had past Nebula going to great lengths to look like present Nebula, but with a perfectly good left forearm. The act of damaging current Nebula was too deliberate not to have been deliberate.

Also, what's the rule on spoilers? Is it after a month? Or can we say any movie that's made 2 billion dollars doesn't need a spoiler tag?

I thought they all came back at the same time so even though Nebula spent more time in 2014 it seemed like she was right behind him to Rhodes.

I seem to remember a brief shot of Past Nebula putting on or taking off a glove on that arm to hide that it's not burned but I may be mistaken.

Yeah, their return devices bring them all back a couple of seconds after they left no matter how long it took or where else they went (like the 70s.)

Let's wait another couple weeks. I agree with you that most or all of the people that care about Endgame spoilers are likely to have seen it already, but it's better to be courteous just in case, I think.

I really, really appreciate it. I haven't been able to see it yet due to the nature of my work. Hopefully next week or the week after I'll get the chance though.

Thanks for all the spoiler tags, y'all! Please keep it up for a little while longer. Not all of us have 9-5 jobs that allow us to catch a movie after work or on the weekend.

I think it’s fair to assume she might have a stronger aversion to upgrades than the others after spending so much time....”disassembled” while conscious.

Also for Nebula, she said that every time she lost a fight to Gamora that Thanos upgraded her. So maybe she either doesn't know how, or refuses to, work any more on the cybernetic part of herself, since she probably didn't consent to it to begin with.

Whatever Nebula has installed in her, it's light years ahead of Earth tech. Rocket told Stark he is only the smart person here, and considering the tech we've seen on GotG he's not wrong.

Nebula's problem wasn't that she was hacked, it was that her neural network automatically interfaced with the past version of itself. That's not the sort of thing that you'd expect to void the warranty.

I have to say I did love the movie, because while it was formula it was happy and had its funny moments without being super saccharine. I mean technically Howard should have wanted a Ditto's body because then he could still look like himself! My guess for your question would be Howard just doesn't think of the ones like Dunsparce as 'real' Pokemon, just crap ones.

What I don't get is why did Mewtwo need Tim in order to split Harry and Pikachu again?
