Amph Come with me if you want to live: The Terminator Thread

The movies need to be interesting, and they just aren't. The first one was, simply by virtue of being the first. The second, while one of my favourite movies, I don't think was really interesting in a cerebral way, though if someone wants to make that claim, I won't argue it. For sure, though, from the third and up, they've just been mindless explosions, and if you want to keep it going after 5 movies, you have to provide more than that.

Edit: unless it takes place in the future war, in which case I might be fine with one last entry of mindless explosions. But I want it to be over! When are they going to win? They've been fighting this enemy for five movies already.

 

North Korea says hi.

 

Go to Aliens route.

Call the movie "Terminators"

Have Skynet send a ton of hard to kill terminators back in time to kill all of humanity. Not just one persons.

But instead of Age of Ultron, there are no Avengers superheroes.

 

TSCC was decent as far as stuff past T2 goes. If James Bond can work post cold war (although Putin wants it back) so can Terminator.

 

The problem with Terminator action sequences is that we live in a post Transformers and other modern day blockbuster audience world.

Plus with the real world A.I. and robotics as they are now, no one's scared of Watson becoming sentient. We're just scared of him winning more money than us on Jeopardy.

 

There needs to be at least one more movie and one more TV show (or two movies or two TV shows), because both Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams need to get a chance to play Sarah Connor.

 

I'd rather we get new characters. Those two would make good cast members for it though.

 

North Korea can barely get a toaster to work.

 

You make me laugh. If Uncle Bob were here, he'd laugh too.

 

DEADLINE: He’s Back! James Cameron To Godfather ‘Terminator’ With ‘Deadpool’ Helmer Tim Miller

He’ll be back! James Cameron, who regains certain rights to his prized creation The Terminator in 2019, is godfathering a new iteration of the film that might finally get it right in drawing a close in the battle between humans and Skynet. Sources said that Cameron, whose copyright reversion happens 35 years after the release of the 1984 classic, is in early talks with Deadpool director and VFX wiz Tim Miller to direct a reboot and conclusion of one of cinema’s great science fiction tales.

Beyond caring, but thought you might be interested.

 

OMG, why?!

Why Jim? You're about three movies TOO LATE!

 

Maybe if we have luck we get a great terminator movie. Hope dies last.

 

Cameron returning to his baby is good, but too little too late in my opinion.

 

I'm up for a conclusion, but if he's planning another trilogy, I just can't be bothered.

 

As far as the story goes what if Skynet won without using Nukes? All Skynet haves to do is cut all power for a few weeks.

 

Skynet goes back to 2016 and rigs a couple of elections.

Or, Skynet goes back to 2016, sees the results of a couple elections and knows it just has to bide it's time, and we'll take care of the destruction of humanity ourselves.

 

Vote for me if you want to live!

 

I am so goddamn happy at this!



Consider me a dyed in the wool Terminator fan (More Terminator stuff, forever and ever, please) and I'd love to see Cameron working on it again and the visuals in Tim Miller's stuff is pretty darn excellent and I think he could make a movie that looks just as amazing as a Cameron film. So happy day!

 

Ender Sai what is the number of 'and' allowed to be used in a sentence before a hand should be chopped off?

 

When beloved franchises go off the rails, I think most of us are (decreasingly) amenable to the idea that the next one will set things right. Oftentimes the promises are empty, but with Cameron's involvement I do cling (with slippery fingers) to the hope that this one could give the series a wrap-up worthy of the first two films.

 

Arnold can't come back to the franchise though, right? I feel like if they write the script for just for the sake of an actor they're doing a disservice to the story.

 

Sure, he can. That's the point of the multiple 101 models. He's gonna want to be involved and Cameron will want him in it. Had Cameron done T3, Arnold would have been in it.
