I wish they would at least come up with some creative new Terminator designs. Everything is either, T-800, T-1000, or the second layered on the former.

Donnerberg posted:They tried that in Salvation with Markus the reverse terminator, motorbike terminators and building sized killbots. Underwhelming stuff. They might as well just stick to what works and make something other than a 2 hour video game cutscene. Like Firstborn said, a new horror movie would be nice. It Follows got a lot of praise, and that was basically Terminator 1. The best parts of T2 are all the high tension scenes where the T-1000 just won't loving stop too. I don't really consider the bikes or giant mecha "Terminators" The first two were pretty clear that Terminators were infiltration/Assassin units and all the other things were just killer robots. I'm saying come up with some cool infiltration tactics. A dog that's a terminator, a child, one that wears the corpses of resistance members, just something besides the first two.

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.

It's because the later movies forgot Terminator's are infiltration units. Going around leaving too many dead bodies is a hindrance to his task. The three Terminator assaults we see in the original, the future flashback, dance club and the police station, all follow that methodology. He lays low and doesn't cause trouble, and only then once his target is there does he activate attack-mode or whatever and start wantonly killing. In the end he seems to only kill when he has no other option. Even at the police station he tried asking nicely at first, only attacking when it was clear there was no other way to get to Sarah.

"Instead of using this head start to set up an inescapable trap or stop it before it happens, lets just skip all this valuable set-up time and warp to the very moment of disaster and wing it with no preparation or planning!" God Genysis and TSCC were dumb.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted: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. 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.

Star Wars has generally been the exception to the rule that tie-in games are inherently bad. We got like 2 decades of great video-games out of it. It's pity that the license is now in the hands of EA who will never do anything but the most focus-grouped anti-consumer trash with it.

The T2 T-800 really got a bum deal didn't he. Kills himself to make sure there's no more future tech lying around to create Skynet and immediately a bajillion more future robots pop in leaving their fancy computer chips lying around. Might as well have just stuck around so John has a cool robot dad.
