Which would make sense. Genisys wasn't profitable anywhere but China.

I’d like to know if they have any input on anything. They seem to be at the bottom of the ladder to me.

The Tenchant thing is not a new thing. We are only learning about it now. You don't get a movie greenlit with only half or less of finances in check... you get it greenlit with 100%.

Even if the deal was made from the start I think it’s pretty easy to figure either Skydance, Paramount or Fox, or a combo, invested the most since Tencent would be the newcomer and it’s an American franchise. Paramount distributed Genisys. That first article you posted I guess kinda makes it seem they’re the main people behind it but I just saw it as Tencent wanting to get in on some of the profit because China apparently really likes Terminator. Edit: Here’s another link about the general deal if you’re interested. It’s more about growing Skydance than changing anything.http://deadline.com/2018/01/skydance...na-1202269479/

First look at the main cast of Terminator 6:
Looks like very... eh, progressive?

Why is there a sixth Terminator movie in the works? Why are there any Terminator movies after the first one?
The second movie implied that you could change the future by going back in time, but somehow not erase the paradoxical child. The third said you can delay the future, but you can't change it in any other way. The fifth says you can even completely alter the circumstances and literally nothing will change. But we saw that timeline was on a perfect loop in the first movie. Here are facts laid down by the first one.
It's so obvious that there's no real room for a sequel. |

The second still revolutionized special effects, though. I see it as more of an exercise in successful branding that happens to have an insane degree of nostalgic appeal for lots of people. A prototypical modern "summer movie" that happens to have more depth than the average film of its type. Quote:
The real question is, why did they decide to make John Connor a transgender twink for this new film?

Probably PG-13, too.

Terminator 3 was very underrated. I know people dislike that it undoes the ending from T2 and proves the future is still set in stone, but if you view it as just a fun action movie, it's pretty entertaining. A lot of good action set pieces too and it's held up well since it came out way back in 2003.

T3 was decent. Didn't like the TX controlling cars B.S., hated the super awkward/creepy/weird "You remind me of my mother!" line and would have certainly cut the "talk to the hand" business... but other than that, I really dug it just fine.

Others have complained about that promo pic. Just stop people. There’s nothing to read into. All movies get promos that nobody gives a second thought to.
It’s ridiculous that every piece of material released for anything has to be scrutinized. I’m 100% convinced some people are just cynical about stuff simply for the sake of it. It is absolutely a thing to be against stuff or to act like it anyway. I’m sure there’s a word for it.

I check my usual forums for updates and when I saw it was just a picture that was released I honestly thought...oh that’s it? well nothing then. Now I find it turned into a whole matter and it’s like this turned into a topic? This generic picture with 3 characters that we already know of?

What do mean “archetypes”? That they’re purposely female heroes or something?

If Sarah raised John to be a soldier in the first movie, that implies it's set in a stable time loop, the photo just clinched it. This means that the mission to destroy Cyberdyne in the second one makes no sense, because we already know they can't change anything. |

Hilariously T3, which I like, sort of "fixes" it. |
