Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:It's also canon that the Terminator smelled like poo poo. Of course the later movies abandoned this, establishing that not only does the cloned skin regenerate, but it even ages in real time. The obvious reason for that was so they could have an aging Arnold come back as an older Terminator in future movies. ElectricSheep posted:Fantastic OP! Petition to add in the Terminator ride/show from Universal Studios where Arnie grabs Edward Furlong and they go forward in time to fight the T-1 Million and destroy Skynet or whatever, it's been a while since I saw it Genuinely forgot it existed, I’ve actually never seen it. I’ve only been to Universal Studios once, and it was so long ago that the T2 3D ride was still under construction at the time. egon_beeblebrox posted:I like pretty much all the Terminator movies and the show, but Salvation is way more boring than a Terminator movie with Michael Ironside in it should be. I like Salvation, the “twist” is cool (and completely spoiled by the trailers, naturally). The Harvester attack and subsequent moto-terminator chase is great. https://youtu.be/1xOPmhQnC3w?si=1NsCWcmOhwNTiiUr https://youtu.be/HRuLB1phE1Q?si=G0uxmtrn2AqZvJNZ The fight with the T-800 at the end of the movie is cool too. https://youtu.be/iFvZwA_G2io?si=mb-HRn8vbTT2XKZP BiggerBoat posted:I still think that the only real way to freshen up the Terminator franchise is the simple approach to just making it a period piece and setting poo poo in the old west, WW2, the civil war or some poo poo and play off the "not with these weapons" aspect of T1. It worked out really well for Prey. Dicking around with conflicting timelines and tangled continuity is not only not very interesting, but really hard to pull off without creating more questions than it answers. BttF pulled it off but it's tough. - T-800 in the old west getting hit by a steam locomotive with a stick of dynamite in the cow catcher, which explodes - T-800 marching across No Man’s Land in WWI, getting shredded by machine gun fire - T-800 in ancient Egypt, the characters defeat it by sealing it in a tomb.

I never had that toy, but I did manage to grab the Terminator Salvation remake of it, which actually features one of the few clear depictions of what Marcus’ endoskeleton looked like. https://youtu.be/A1qsQgbJ48A?si=HcwZphWjVCLXS6A6 redshirt posted:The end of T3 redeems it.

At The Tesco posted:yeah i really liked the ending of T3 and they should have continued the franchise from there. instead it feels like they just kept trying to make a terminator 2 sequel Well, I mean, they did try - Terminator Salvation is a direct sequel to T3. If you want more Future War stuff, though, I very heartily recommend reading the “Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle” comics by J Michael Strazynski. It successfully chains off of the ending of Terminator Salvation, loops in the future war plot points from T1-T3 (including John Connor getting killed by the T-850 in 2032), features parallel storylines in the past and future that are written in such a way that they both affect each other without spoiling how either one is going to play out as they unfold, and provides a satisfying ending to the war at the end of it all. It’s very cool.

I absolutely love the second act in Terminator in the police station. You get that classic horror movie 2nd act "oh we're safe now, thank god!" feeling for a bit - while Reese is ranting like a madman in the background that everyone here is hosed! Then of course everyone there is hosed, the Terminator is here.

I agree that there's a lot of corny poo poo in T2 but none of it is really terrible enough to ruin the experience for me. I genuinely dislike bad acting and forced dialogue (like you cited) in movies that are trying to be serious but this movie gets so much right that I can genuinely overlook its rather minor flaws. It's been said to death but Aliens is to Alien as Terminator 2 is to Terminator and that's hard to argue against. Flaws aside, I absolutely LOVE all four films and consider them among my all time classics. I think that Terminator is the better overall film than T2 simply because it's tighter and more basic but, depending on my mood, sometimes I want to ramp that poo poo up and T2 is just always such a loving blast to watch. I mentioned I was on LSD the first time I saw it and I definitely recall being the only one laughing during certain scenes that were supposed to be taken dead serious but I still left the theater thinking it was incredible.

Just wanted to say thanks for making this thread Xenomrph Also wanted to say that Brad Fiedel’s score for T1 is one of my all-time favorites, and his T2 score is great also. https://youtu.be/2Ci7wVW-Aik?si=nCE3dZ4HfkhtJtOB

I agree with many of your points but want to point out so hard that establishing these hate/love dynamics sucks so much when trying to compare two things you love. Like, I literally love T2 as a movie, it's one of my favorites of all time. BUT I think the original is even better. But when trying to discuss the differences why, can it not be helped to be a "hater"? I will watch any and all of them whenever, because they are all amazing.

Comedy option: Sarah Connor somehow ends up hooking up with the T-800 instead of Reese and not only does it fail its mission to KILL SARAH CONNOR, it is how John is conceived. Hijinks ensue.

Terminator OST is the best thing about the movie. And that T2 playset looks rad. I miss when toy companies use to just make poo poo up but still seems like it could be a plot to a Terminator movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FErhk4kSMkI
