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.

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.


Absolutely. The first left the door open very wide open for a coherent sequel without really having an idea for what it might be.

What they eventually got was easily one of the best sequels ever made. That movie however was clearly supposed to be the end. Humanity had successfully used the time travel angle to not only stop the machines hail mary attempt at victory in the judgement day timeline, but stop judgement day from even happening in the time travel timeline. Case closed. There's a reason no other movies were made for like 12 years despite T2 doing absolutely insane box office for an R movie.

It's no surprise everything after t2 has been mediocre to terrible.

Dark fate will bomb and hopefully they'll just let the damn ip die in peace. We'll all just pretend the first two are the only two and be happy.

The claim to being enlightened just shows the arrogance of the Hollyweird elitist. If it's a good movie no one is going to give a shite that the leads are women. Plenty of successful action movies have had female stars. It's a preemptive attempt to shield himself from criticism and comes off as insecure.

I think it mostly just shows they don’t have any ideas to continue these franchises that are being kept alive by execs trading off the IP

Showing how Kyle Reese was sent back in time should’ve been a great movie. But they fricked it up.

Saw the first TV commercial for it tonight during football.

Holy hell it looks worse than you could ever possibly imagine.

Everything about it looked cheesy and awful. It's going to be terrible and also bomb spectacularly.

What are they talking about? I, for one, am looking forward to the courageous take that brown people want to save the world from SkyNet, too.

Is someone about to argue that the Terminator franchise has never had a strong female protagonist? Does Linda Hamilton have a penis?

Sometimes I wonder.

But T2 and the Sarah Connor Chronicles were already about her being a badass.

And T3 was all bout getting Johns lieutenants which included his wife, who wasnt a badass yet, but was adaptable and would become one. And Sarah made sure her coffin was full of explosions.

I can't remember anyone but Kyle and John from 4.

Skipped 5.

Even in 1 which was more scifi slasher flick she was still scrappy.

Given the amount of steroids Linda supposedly took for T2, I imagine the little man in the boat got a lot taller.

SkyNet never existed in this film. The program is called Legion now.

Are you telling me you wouldn't want a throw down with T2 Linda, rub that big ole clitty until she surrenders and bang that drum until it falls apart?

Or more likely for me back then, be thrown around and wonder why she wasn't my gym teacher?

It's not like it'll seal up and close from steroids, and any woman that you gotta climb and or wrassle for it is gonna be a fun time.
