Owlofcreamcheese posted:I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a time powers terminator yet. Like sort of more than anything T2 terminator's power was liquid metal specifically because morphing software existed now. I'm shocked there wasn't an early 2000s terminator that had time powers because matrix smooth camera time stops were the newest thing. (By the way, totally stealing the time powers Terminator idea, brb.)

Also, if they wanted to go back down an R-rated body horror route, how about this? We know from T1 that "nothing dead can go" back in time - so Skynet stitches together a load of living prisoners around whatever outrageous piece of new tech it wants to transport. The rules of time can apparently be fooled by a T-1000, so why the hell not?

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.

Adult John Connor is enjoying lunch at an Arby's when his plate morphs into a T-3000 and stabs him through the eye. The screen fades out with the words "TIME PARADOX". 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.

Let's face it, we know what's going to happen. DF will start with Chunky John Connor being upstanding in a 'gonna prevent a robot holocaust' kind of way when an Arnold T-800 walks in, greets him, then 'shockingly' kills him. (Hence Sarah's hatred of Beardy Arnold.) Several years later, the rest of the movie will happen. Because, does anyone seriously think they're going to bring back Edward Furlong for the entire movie? I'm getting fed up with continuations of series taking the "which major character can we kill for shock value?" approach. It doesn't even have to be a literal kill, just having them be so out of character (because they're written by people who had nothing to do with the original) that they might as well be a different person. There's obviously "let's wind back his development 30 years then kill Han Solo!" in TFA, but there are also things like "let's make John Connor into a villainous super-Terminator!" in this franchise, or "let's make Scotty a lazy alcoholic bullshitter!" or "let's have Kirk tell the Federation to gently caress off so he can ride horses and fry eggs! And then drop a bridge on him" in Star Trek: TNG.

Horizon Burning posted:Well, the simplest answer is that it was a deleted scene and isn't canon - it wasn't in the theatrical version. No Terminator thing since T2 has used that, just going with what the theatrical T2 demonstrated, that Terminators can just learn.

Fish Noise posted:every time I see clips of 3 I'm left with an impression of "this is a LOT more slapstick than I remember it, I should rewatch" (There's a similar thing in The Bourne Ultimatum, where at the end of a tense and frantic chase a suspension spring flies from a crashed car with a ridiculously cartoony B-D-D-DOINGGGGGG ruler-on-a-desk noise. Completely took me out of the scene.)

Kinda begs the question of why, when you've spent a shitload of money to make a sequel to a pretty much universally acclaimed action movie that despite having comic moments played its premise straight to great effect, you'd decide, "yeah, let's camp everything the gently caress up and have not one single potentially tense or scary moment that isn't instantly undercut by a gag". (And then at the end have humanity all but exterminated by nuclear armageddon. Womp womp!)

The 'three dots' subplot with Sarah all but killed the momentum of season 2 stone dead, and it's a wonder it managed to recover at all. I can't even remember what it was all about, just that it wasn't worth the time and effort spent on it.

There's a funny moment (as in, it's meant to be inspiring and dramatic but comes off as goofy as hell) in Robocop Vs Terminator when the resistance prevent Skynet's creation by killing Robocop, followed by change rippling through the timeline and chains being cast off, flowers blooming, peace and love, etc - and Skynet promptly goes "Agh! No, gently caress that!" and hurriedly sends yet more Terminators back to restore the skull-littered hellscape. Skynet eventually wins in the resulting timeline and wipes out all life on Earth. Now what? Well, there are a lot of stars out there, potentially with planets supporting living things of their own - so it builds an armada of space galleons manned by T-800 endoskeletons to sterilise the whole galaxy. Yep, thinking big.

Milkfred E. Moore posted:Anyway, when I did a thread in the TV forum about the TV series, I became pretty interested in why the series could use the title Terminator and the characters but seemingly couldn't have anyone utter the word 'Terminator' in the series itself (they even changed Kyle Reese's words!), nor could terms like T-800 and T-1000 be used. Apparently, the rights are a bit of a mess, but I couldn't find much more info other than that. I can't see how it would affect a major Hollywood production, but it just came to mind given your comment about how nothing from T2 is mentioned.

On a sidenote, I'm playing Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, a game about killer drones and AIs gaining sentience, and one of the optional storylines involves... Terminators. Once you start it, even the music changes to become more Brad Fiedel-esque. It's good fun, but I can't help thinking how much more awesome it would have been to have NPCs start talking about some crazy woman who says she came from the future, build up to talk about killer cyborgs so you can go "oh, it's a Terminator reference, ha ha!" - and then BAM, actual T-800 out of nowhere. Rather than there being a literal "Terminator" box on the mission select screen.

Once James Cameron makes the second movie in a series, it should stop there. Wait, he's making how many Avatar sequels?
