Yes. Sadly. They brought Linda Hamilton out of mothballs for an angry affair designed to "fix" problematic aspects of Terminator lore (white savior, woman destined to only bear said savior, and so on) while taking the opportunity to attack current political situations (ICE bad, border patrol bad). While adding really nothing new to the pot and, in fact, voiding what little we still cared about within the franchise.
It's just so strange. I can understand why Salvation failed on a basic script level, as in they needed to work on more drafts and maybe they would have had something. Fundamentally, Genisys and Dark Fate were just so bizarrely opposite of what fans would actually want while making their whole media push be about "THIS ONE is the TRUE sequel to Terminator 2!" Because both sh** all over it. SkyNET? Never mattered. There's this other thing (Genisys in Genisys, Legion in Dark Fate), and that whole future timeline is gone anyway.
