No it's lazy writers who think by pushing "wokeness" they don't have to create complex well written characters. Because when it comes to minority characters all you have to do is half arse it and promote it like it's come great accomplishment

I saw Linda Hamilton was gonna be back I was like..umm ok..this might be good. Then I saw her photo on set and was excited. Then I saw the trailer and my constipation cleared up. Not gonna go see that horrific looking movie.

Good grief. No one hates female characters. People love female characters who are interesting and compelling. What people don't like is hamfisted preaching and one dimensional portrayals.



This. They could have made a female Terminator and not have the entire cast be practically female. Look at Alien, Fury Road, etc. all movies with great female protagonists. This is obvious SJW shite and I rarely say that type of shite on this board because most of the time it’s silly. This time it’s not. This is clearly an SJW push. The two dudes in the film are a 65-year-old man and the other is the villain it’s TLJ type shite.

Jesus


People don’t hate the female characters for being there. They hate them because they fricking suck and are unnecessary as frick.

Which one of the Ghostbusters was preaching again? That movie didn't suck because the characters were female. It didn't suck because the female characters sucked. It was just kinda half-assed all around.

And Edward Furlong. You rarely say this kind of thing, so you'll go hard at a movie you haven't seen yet with some assumptions based solely on the marketing so far? Saying the phrase "SJW push" throws into question everything else you said. That's conspiracy youtuber vocabulary.

The trolls review bombing Captain Marvel fricked everyone over when it comes to the audience score.

Fury Road had an absolutely terrible female protagonist. If it weren’t for Max they’re all dead 20 minutes into the movie.

Ya, it did. And it was "kinda half-assed all around" because the focus wasn't making a good movie, it was on "grrrrl powah! boys are dumb!"

I mean it wasn't even subtle.

I met Furlong at a con a few months ago and he was overweight and had a hang over. He better go on an intense workout regimen.

This movie looks like one big attempt to dial down animosity against illegals. "See! They help fight SkyNet, too!"

Bumping this thread as reshoots apparently:





POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!
















Brought back Furlong, meaning John Connor may not be killed off in the first act after all.

Absolutely mind boggling that they’d retcon the 3rd-5th movies just to immediately kill off the character that the first two movies revolve around.

They should probably just let the Terminator franchise die. It was an awesome idea that spawned 2 great movies but if you think about it the concept really doesn’t lend itself to further sequels very well.

I think a guy who looks like a melting Gary Sinise will come off fine as the warrior hero humanity needs.

I was pretty hopeful this would be good. I loved McKenzie Davis in Halt and Catch Fire. Im guessing this is just going to turn into a DL and watch at home.
