Yeah no, this is about entertainment too, and SMG is a far cry more entertaining than you, not least of all due to effort. I couldn't give less of a poo poo about what you think is 'wrong' about what they write.

Guys, we're discussing substance abuse issues and you're trying to debate the merits of your shitposting? They should bring back "Old" John Connors, Michael Edwards.

Groovelord Neato posted:no more EU bullshit, nerd. I’m referring to the last lines of the movie Terminator 2. “The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope, because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.” What is the hope, specifically, to you? Keep in mind that John Connor’s plan in Genesis is to make humanity immortal via nanomachines. Does your hope differ?

Do got to wonder what the T-800 would've done if Sarah had an unlisted number in the first movie. Would he have gone to city hall and check the records? The DMV? Oh god, I just remembered Sarah's little scooter. Why wasn't there a chase involving that?

I think it looks good. It won't knock people on their rear end like 2 did, but that might well be the best sequel ever (might be Godfather II or Aliens, also).

Davros1 posted:Do got to wonder what the T-800 would've done if Sarah had an unlisted number in the first movie. Would he have gone to city hall and check the records? The DMV? Originally the Terminator was going to kill every person named Sarah Connor and then cut their leg to see if the tissue matched the description of what little medical records existed because in the future all Skynet could dig up was that her name was Sarah Connor and she had injured her leg at some point. This was when the script was going to focus a little more on Paul Winfield/Lance Henriksen's detectives and have more of a slasher feel to it. Then at the end when she pulls that piece of shrapnel out of her leg was when she actually got the wound in question making it another closed loop thing. There was another iteration too where she already does has a visible scar at the beginning that's pointed out. Evoking the traditional literary plot device wherein if you show that someone has a scar on their leg in act one you better have them squad a robot in a hydraulic press in act three.

It looks better than the original teasers, but those have soured my feelings about what I just watched. I think they're still showing too much, and a lot of the action still looks boring and unimpactful, but the story and acting might actually be decent. I would've preferred not having the "I'll be back" at the end. The non-chalant hero trope is so overplayed in a John Wick action world.

And the trailer does sync up with the supposed plot leak. Chuds are going to like it, those are Mexican cops she's slaughtering, not Americans. And supports the bit of the leak claiming that in this new timeline with the new not-Skynet, the original Terminators were humans voluntarily enhanced with cybernetics to become super-soldiers before not-Skynet went rogue and seized control of them through their implants.

Salvation was so funny... Blair hits on Marcus for a good 20 minutes, and when it comes time to assert the machine's humanity, she says "I looked at him and I saw a man". Yeah you sure did! Cracks me up

In the time-travel setup that Terminator uses, as soon as they go back in time, does the current future cease for them or continue on? In the original terminator Skynet was losing, as soon as it sent he terminator back did that future cease to be? I suppose not if Reese was subsequently sent back, so even if Skynet, that future was already a fuckup for that Skynet either way it turned out?

It depends on the Terminator movie, the first one is a predestination paradox closed loop. All the subsequent ones seem to be that the characters are in an orphaned timeline where the future they are from ceased to exist.

It struck me after seeing the latest trailer that the horror aspects of the original movie are completely gone. The T-800 was a robot skeleton encased in a cloned skin bag of rotting meat (cf: flies buzzing around, the "gently caress you, rear end in a top hat" guy complaining about the smell). That adds a new level to the nightmare; not only does this thing pursue you and never, ever tire, but it literally smells like death. Now, the T-800 is a robot skeleton encased in living, healthy flesh that can age into a grizzled grandpa. The kind of killing machine you'd want as your neighbour.

To go a little more in-depth, T2 just says "You can change the future and prevent stuff like the robopocalypse". 3 onwards operate on that weird logic that bad stories like where you can change stuff, but apparently the time-space continuum is an angry god that consciously makes the same stuff happen anyway.

The eventual outrage over the Latino-looking nu-Terminator murdering several dozen CBP gestapo and incidentally freeing a bunch of detained migrants should be some nice advertising once the conservative media machine notices it. I don't know if it looks good but it looks entertaining. Something I wouldn't mind seeing in IMAX maybe but nothing I have high hopes for.

Everything about the movie looks like a very expensive disaster. The Internet is excited about the movie because the studio has been putting Cameron's name front and center, but even by his own admission he merely consulted on the story and he occasionally sent script pages from the Avatar sets when he wasn't happy with something. So it's not like this is his baby.

I'll never not find it hilarious though that like, of all of the poo poo going on in a Terminator movie that could potentially make it rated R this was the hill you were trying to die on?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6vFM7ExvpE

Cameron ruined Terminator by introducing the T-1000. Ever since then it’s always liquid metal / nano-machine bullshit that looks dumb and overused on these impossibly unreal situations that are just an excuse to burn CGI money while shouting “it’s advanced!”. It’s loving bullshit. Genysis had the ultra bad terminator loving PHASE in pulses through the T-800 as an attack. It was loving ridiculous.

It’s loving bullshit. Genysis had the ultra bad terminator loving PHASE in pulses through the T-800 as an attack. It was loving ridiculous. I think the big issue is that the T-1000 made sense as an evolution of the original robot which was intended as an infiltration unit. The T-1000 is a better infiltration unit. It doesn't have built-in laserbeams or anything, it just can copy thing well and as a side effect can kill effectively with its bare hands-turned-into-knives. (And honestly the T-800 could do that too.) Yet in the case of both of them neither machine was intended to win a battle on their own. Even the T-800 in the original film taking on the police station was more it taking advantage of shock and awe. Every Terminator since then has been like a combat machine designed to kick rear end and that isn't really the point of Terminators. They're not actually the most effective killing machine Skynet has. They're just the only one it can reliably send back without the military shooting it with a bazooka.
