i forget, did they keep the whole "t800 is the good guy this time" plot point in their pants until the movie came out or did they blow it immediately for advertisements

arguably the movie itself did a bad job of concealing it

dont remember there being any indication that arnie was the good guy until that scene in the mall with the shotgun in the box of roses

I'm well aware, the real t 800 would never say "no problemo" or "don't have a cow" or "cowabunga" or whatever other dumb poo poo they wrote to make a killer robot appeal more to the TMNT crowd of babies in diapers whom the movie was written for.

dang it that was about the robot killing machine becoming more human thru the power of friendship. its fukcing heart-warming or some poo poo.

its like the dang "no future but what we make" thing even applies to the dang robit because he can choose humanity over beep boop exterminate directives

that scene where the t1000 is pounding down the road on foot after their car as arnie unloads on him was fantastic & really makes you feel like theyre fighting something entirely unstoppable

I don't understand why they keep remaking movies like this.. it's ALWAYS an abysmal failure. Surely someone in Hollywood must understand the idea of "a product of it's time". Imagine if Arnolds career started today, Commando would be so badly panned it would kill any future he had and probably bankrupt the company that made it.

because we used up all the IPs sometime in 2007 and studios are flailing around in a panic trying to cope with this horrid new post-originality world
