The Terminator licensing thing is pretty wonky. So if they JUST licensed the first movie, all you can get from this is stuff from the first movie. And so on. Each movie is so independently wrapped up so that each one would be a separate licensing deal, as we've seen in other things.

Eh? Can't worse garbage than TDF, so I am temporarily cautious.

Though, if it fails I will understand why AI would like to crush humanity.

Yeah, but honestly is there anything out of the first two movies you would want to see?

James Cameron will eventually send a Terminator back in time to make sure there’s no other projects made after Judgement Day

Well that teaser sucked, we didn't even get a preview of what it'll look like, just an implication that it'll take place in the unaltered timeline.

That's the thing right there, though. To even be able to use stuff from T1 and T2 would be two different licensing deals, and every time there's a Terminator licensed anything, they only license one movie or the other movie, never both.

Haha, come on...it does sound interesting. The competing AI.

So, basically plot cobbled together from dozen of books and comic books with a dash of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Eh, nothing new. Doesn't sound bad or woke on paper.

Female fighter traveling back in time to save the future was done in RoboCop vs Terminator and this short comic book series, where female Terminator saves John Connor. And SCC, of course. Maybe somewhere else.

Rival AI...I think it was done only in Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Yeah, the actual last Terminator movie in theaters.

Besides it. And its not like TDF was basically a clip show of all "best moments from previous Terminator movies (but done worse)".

I mean, you can find "evil feminism" in a female savior in a Terminator series all you want, but it was done long time before TDF was even a concept.

It was exactly that, besides from the woke virtue signaling/revenge against white male savior/revenge on anti-illegal immigration. Whole action set pieces were just recreations of action set pieces from T1 and T2 but made "bigger" and generally dumber.

I mean it can't be worse than the last 3-4 movies so I guess it can be fine?

*Andrew NDB* · 07-16-2024, 04:33 PM

The good news is that if it's bad, it won't hurt Terminator any further. The bad news is that if it's good, it probably won't help it much either.

*Andrew NDB* · 09-09-2024, 03:12 PM

Nobody has checked it out yet? I saw the wife watching bits and pieces here and there. Looks like some super weird anime-isms going on there, for sure.
