Seems worth mentioning that Gynysis isn't completely undone, because there is still Pops Terminator and Young Sarah Connor, But Not GoT Lady. Also, it goes without saying that the comments to the new trailer on Youtube are horrible trash complaining about women in action movies. Like, holy poo poo.

Darko posted:They keep changing the future so every time one comes back, it's some other super hosed up monstrosity. It would be kinda good if they actually ever addressed this, because it makes a lot of sense and would make for dramatic tension. It turns out you can avert your future, but you cannot avert the future in general and it seems that Skynet is a part of that general future, no matter what. So there is always going to be some kind of robotic nightmare coming back for you, and torching Skynet's toenail now will only make the next nightmare be a different color. That's one of the reasons I like Genyisis more than most here do. The movie attempted to play around with time fuckery a bit instead of treating it as a way to get the Terminators from then to now. grate deceiver posted:Also evil terminator guy looks like a dork. I actually like that. You can't replicate Arnold and actually shouldn't try if your original pitch is "infiltration", let the subsequent models look dorkier and dorkier. Like, have a scene where somehow Future Skynet observes present day America and decide how its shapeshifter's basic look is going to be, and it turns out it's that dork.

MisterBibs posted:Regarding Dark Fate, I can't shake one of two amusing concepts: either James Cameron (known bully) borrowed liberally from the Terminators he didn't make because he's gonna show them how to do their stuff (Terminator who thinks shes human, etc) better, or he's watched so little of the Terminators that weren't his, invented them alone, and nobody has the stones to tell him that they've already been done. Or, he's seen them and thought "I like that, but can it be done differently/expanded upon". That would make him look less of a miserable rear end in a top hat though, so I guess that option is out of the window.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Constant time travel means it's a really low barrier to entry to just name everything canonical. Every single movie and comic and game and ride all happened, the ones that didn't go well happened in some other time line that is gone now. In other words, why give a gently caress about any two consecutive entries into the canon? Like, what's even the use of a canon if that is your way to treat it? "Oh don't worry, it's just timeline #446313 where Sarah Connor and T800 had a half-machine baby, it's still canon!"

I saw Terminator and many other action and horror movies at a ridiculously low age, too. Which is precisely the reason I'm not gonna show them to my five year old son. I am not a healthy man, and neither are all of you, like Jesus Christ.

Where the gently caress are all these new Terminators coming from? The timeline is so hosed at this point I'm expecting the X-Men to show up. There have been a lot of Terminators on that time travel platform. Just a whole bunch of naked Schwarzeneggers with one sole naked Robert Patrick.

LinkesAuge posted:I would actually do the opposite and go back to the "normal" T800 as villain. The T1000 worked as antagonist for the T800 but the T800 is a much better reflection (in its design) of what Skynet means/represents and was at least to me always the most terrifying version (it is a human skeleton afterall) and it also felt more "real" due to the very physical/grounded nature of its design. Yeah, T1 Terminator was frightening because he was Jason with a purpose, but looked just human enough. Like, Arnold isn't exactly Mr. Inconspicuous, but in the movie looks human enough that it would take people ten seconds to wonder what is up with this improbably buff punk, and within those ten seconds he'd terminate you. Or the people who protect you. Or your mother, to find out where you are.

galagazombie posted:One thing they could do (and this applies to a lot of movies) to make Terminators threatening is that if they touch you you're dead. None of this "picks up and throws against wall" crap. If one gets his hand on you it immediately crushes your neck like a soda can. Play up the inherent lethality of something with hydraulic presses for muscles. That's pretty much already the case with the T-1000 and upwards models, though. Like, they have knife fingers, if you aren't a Terminator yourself your best chance is to just leg it when they come for you.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Again: in Terminator 1, the robot kills a dude by repeatedly tossing him into drywall and windows. Despite having a gun. It takes an extremely long time in contrast to the short work Termi makes of people before, but that was just him shooting people. There is never a question about the outcome of the struggle, it shows off that you can come at Termi and he will just throw you around until you die/he gets his gun and then you die.

No way that dude ends up leading humanity to victory. They sent the wrong Bean, Sean would have sired their savior and then he'd have died like a boss.

A period piece Terminater would probably still have to end with the good guys winning, which then means that a motherfucking badass killing machine from the future was chumped by, I dunno, a Renaissance painter and their unlikely ally, a funny leper. Which I guess helps to establish why Skynet lost the war. It got in one lucky shot with the nukes and then spent the next 20 years loving up every possible strategic decision.

Now there's a completely different AI in the future named Legion seeking to kill the leader of the human resistance against it by sending a terminator back in time, and now the Connors et al are derailed into trying to help protect Legion's target. Meet the new DOS, same as the old DOS.

God Genysis and TSCC were dumb. They left it to pops to prepare for stuff in Genisys, I guess the hypothetical sequel could have explored the zany stuff he had been up to in that time.

Suddenly it's 1984 again, and a T-800 appears from a time bubble. Then another. And another. And another. We go into time-lapse mode, pulling back ever further as the world becomes covered with Arnolds from an infinite number of alternate timelines, eventually collapsing into a black hole under their weight. The end. Groundhog Day, but Bill Murray is a Terminater. All You Need Is Terminate.

The thing is, Skynet only starts sending back Terminators after it won the war, making it an unofficial entry into the Bill & Ted saga.

Groovelord Neato posted:the T-1000 is sent back from the same future the T-800 was to kill sarah connor. every other sequel is "uhhh judgment day still happens but later". That's still loving dumb, though. In T1, the T-800 was the last ditch effort to turn the tide by defying the laws of nature and whatnot. In T2, the T-1000 is another, far superior last ditch effort, sent along with the other one, but, you know, to a later time. As... a failsafe. Why not send the two assholes to T1's time? Imagine Kyle Reese fighting off Arnold only to turn around and get shanked. Skynet had the means to dogpile Sarah Connor with nightmare robots in 1984. It didn't for *reasons*, and that got us the action blockbustet equivalent of the loving Hellraiser franchise.

Things seem mostly alright living with Sarah for a while, but his flashbacks start getting worse, turning into increasingly intrusive and horrific hallucinations, and it is no longer clear what's real or not anymore as other Resistance members, Terminators, and implications of human experiments by Skynet begin appearing. In the end, he's back in the infiltrated shelter with the burnt photo, dead. Remake Repulsion, but the main character is Terminator. Call it Repulsinator.
