      Didn't actually have a problem with Genesys, the only problem i had was that they didn't bother to show a scene where John tried to fight the nanomachines programming etc. For instance when they had him trapped against the X-ray machines magnetic field they should have had him tell Kyle and Sarah to flee and that he loves them etc...
      But for all intets and purposes, that "terminator" was actually not John. John was killed by Skynet when it injected him with those nanomachines. John died and that new Terminator just had access to his memories and could mimic his personality.

      @@bmadidc9123 I didn't find T2 to be a masterpiece. In fact the "No fate but what you make" idea was just a silly way to try and make a "happy ending" for a story that didn't need a happy ending. Robots from the future came back in time and killed people, shouldn't that future exist? (without trying to get into all the different "timeline" version of time travel)

      They leave it up to the fans to fill in their own plot holes. Like for example the terminator is constantly using power to support it's own weight on the chair to act more human and to make everyone feel more comfortable when it does this. But eh it could have been written where he just doesn't need to sit because he's a fricking terminator.

      When Salvation came out, fans were angry almost as now with Dark Fate. I liked it because it freed the Terminator franchise from the tired "evil future robot comes to kill me" plot that were already done 3 times. But fans wanted the old "template"...........until they actually got it......... then called it "unoriginal repeat plot".

    I've listened to a lot of reviews and it seems like the stank of _Dark Fate_ has had a serendipitous side-effect. It has caused a lot of people to appreciate _Terminator: Salvation_ a lot more and have people even say that it was the best-sequel since _T2_ when next to no one would have been caught saying that before.
    I will give _TS_ credit for breaking convention and giving us something different, but to say that it was the "best" Terminator movie since _T2_ I don't know if I agree or disagree. That movie was all over the place plot-wise. Couldn't tell if it was about John Connor, Kyle Reese, or Sam Worthington's character. Ida know. I guess by default it wins. It's the only sequel in where the John Connor character remained intact and where he resembled what were were told hat he was in the original Terminator.

    • @DaSharkCraftMC
      @DaSharkCraftMC 5 років тому +12

      I still think the T-800 held up to it's well known aspects. In Terminator 2 it was established they can understand human emotions to a degree and somewhat replicate them but not as well. In this one, it's also shown how durable and unstoppable they are. It had a plane dropped on it and the only way the Rev 9 reliably beat it is when it separated. I assume this is possibly due to the Rev 9 endoskeleton being lighter in favor of staying agile enough to keep up with its liquid metal counterpart but failing when it requires brute strength in some, but not all, cases.

The only thing that kept her going were the coordinates for the other terminators.She was cynical when she thought that Dani was the new Sarah, and that was normal because of all she's been through.

      You should give better storyline, genesys have better at story even i soo dont like it how the story make jhon being terminator.

After t2 there no have horor sense so being action film so its good to see new sarah with more complete preparation. The good about the t3 just 1 in my opinion, Arnold and who being T-X was amazing, arnold was amazing everytime (well we see terminator off course overall everyone are arnold fans) but T-X act was compare able to T-1000 actor wich is that really good.

      All fans want is the first movie again. But that's not how shit works. They will bash and say any Terminator movie sucks no matter what because no movie will ever be the first film again.
      This movie was a great fucking idea. Change EVERYTHING. kill off the "hero" and that kills the villain too somehow, showing that Skynet is reliant on John to survive somehow. Another villain then rises up to fill the void, proving that in this universe an AI uprising is inevitable no matter what. Then there is Sarah who is a relic of a deleted timeline but still believes that everything still works the way it did in her world. She runs into the new hero and her guardian like how her son had a protector from a liquid metal bad guy and because she still holds on to her trauma and her old world/time she immediately believes that the timeline is the same but the people have changed. Thinking that the girl is going to give birth to the hero, never considering or even comprehending that she IS the hero. There's just so much going on and so many fun twists and exciting plot. I thought it was fantastic and I'm sure a million other people think the same thing. Dark Fate was literally the movie that "fans" have been wanting and the film that they've been hoping for and expecting ever since Terminator 2. You got the first movie redone entirely like you wanted, you got Arnold and Linda back yet again, you got all the parts of the first movie you enjoyed put back into this one. It's a remake but with entirely different character and slightly different but entirely the same exact plot as the first and second films.. why people still gotta complain is a baffling mystery keeping me awake at night lmao.... some people just have to whine and bitch, like it's carved deep into the side of their torso that they have to cry and complain about something, anything or else the world will end.

      Oh, and if you are wondering why I wrote an essay's worth of text to debunk your comment, its because while a shorter, more concise overview of my opinion clearly isn’t enough for most people, so I often have to spell everything out point by point. As well, if you made your comment shorter instead of that entire paragraph stating how accepting and superior you are to others for loving this film, we wouldn’t be here. Maybe someone should send back a Terminator to stop you or me from writing these comments. But what’s done is done. In any case, if you truly believe that people like me and most others in this comment section are actively hoping for their favorite franchises to fail and to hate them, you are sorely mistaken, and need a new perspective. I didn’t want a new Terminator, I wanted a good movie be it Terminator or otherwise. I don’t want to see movies fail, I have a genuine love for film and tv and video games, but Hollywood’s laziness and ineptitude has made me expect this kind of movie, and I do not want it anymore, not just for the sake of the fans, but for the original creators and artistic integrity. That’s all I have to say on the matter. This comment is Terminated.

      Honestly couldn’t care less if they killed him... it just made no sense and served no purpose. It doesn’t really make sense that killing him removes Skynet and creates Legion...
      It would have been much more interesting to me for him to be killed and see an alternate future with either roles reversed (humans go back to assassinate skynet’s creators while Skynet tries to protect it) or see another version where humanity found another leader (no reason why it wouldn’t/couldn’t replace Connor) and do another take on the original films.
      Instead, Connor dies, which somecraxyhow stops Skynet and we get a wet paper bag to pretend to gaf about while plot holes the size of Texas are left unanswered. If his death served a purpose, I’m all for killing him off... but it didn’t...

  • @daganverone8373
    @daganverone8373 5 років тому +79

    So here's my revised version I just cobbled together. Sorry this is really long.
    1) John isnt in the film cause he's living a normal life. Since skynet is destroyed there logically is no reason for him to become humanity's savior. He's just chilling with old Arnold with his own family.
    2) Arnold couldve been a terminator sent to kill John as a baby. But due to how Sarah kept low all those years the terminator couldnt find her. He gained sentiance and eventually decided his mission made no sense. So now he's just chilling with an older John and John's wife and kid simply think of as "Uncle Carl". Cause again old Arnold thinks killing John makes no sense anymore cause skynet is gone.
    3) Grace and this new terminator, we'll call the Reaper (spitballling give me a break) come from a completely different time than one we recognize as the classic terminator one. They come from a future where due to cybernetic enhancements and nano tech a massive war ignites killing most of humanity in the process. Grace is a member of the military who protects the last of the non-augmented people on earth. The Reaper was created by a brand new AI created during the war, its mission is to "win" the war it was designed to beat meaning killing all humans remaining.
    4) Sarah hasnt been hunting terminators but instead continues to live in paranoia and fear about the "dark fate" of humanity. This led John to finally cut ties with her and live his own life. She's able to find Dani and Grace due to her simply being on the freeway as the fight goes down.
    5) Dani (who in this revision is a med student) is being hunted because in the future shes the one who invents the particular enhancement tech Grace and the other surviving soldiers use. She's even the one who directly enhanced Grace. The Reaper turns out is actually her son who was deconstruced by the metal exoskeleton's nano machines. Literally if she dies, everyone does.
    6) The Reaper, unlike most terminators somehow (I assume through Dani's phone) actually taunts her as he's hunting. The purpose is to break her down mentally and leave her vulnerable to kill. The Reaper isnt her son, it simply wears her sons visage as a mask.
    Hope this works for some people. Sorry for the long post.

It is logical that t-1000 isn't only terminator they sent to kill John but this t-800 is from the future that doesn't exist anymore. Since that future doesn't exist anymore John isn't necessary to the humanity. There is a new future (with Legion) in which Dani is the leader of ressistance (not John)!

    Also, how did Carl learn to be more Human if no one knew he was a Terminator? Someone had to physically remove his CPU & flip the switch from Read-only to Read-and-write before he could even start thinking for himself but he doesn't even mention it or anyone that might have done it for him. Does it flip itself when the mission's accomplished? Did Skynet just think "fuck it" & send a potential threat to its existence back in time anyway? And Sarah knows that Skynet doesn't send out infiltrators capable of independent thought alone because Uncle Bob told her that. Why didn't she ask? She already wants to kill him so why not call bullshit!?

    Here how the Terminator story goes Skynet has sent a Terminator to kill John's mother Sarah
    John has sent Kyle to protect his mother
    When Kyle and Sarah were together they both fell in love and Kyle father John which reveal that Kyle who was sent by John was John's father
    Kyle died protecting Sarah but the Terminator survived and tried to kill Sarah but destroyed him
    Remains of the Terminator the chip and the arm was recovered by the people of Cyberdyne use it to get ideas to develop new technology and gave them the idea to develop Skynet
    Which means if Skynet and John hasn't sent the Terminator and Kyle into the past than both of them would never existed
    When Sarah prevented the existence of Skynet it worked but many years a rise of new evil AI Legion
    Is there a connection between Skynet and Legion?
    If Terminators were never sent to the past by Skynet would Legion still exist?
    Is the Terminators sent by Skynet has something to do with Legion the first Terminator sent in the past in the first movie had led to the creation of Skynet?

Therefore, John should've disappeared from existence, and so should've those remaining Terminators that were sent back, if Skynet was erased with Cyberdyne's destruction.
      I see Terminator 3 and Salvation as the real continuations of T2. Jonathan Mostow and McG tried to stay faithful to the first two films, and so did Alan Taylor with his reboot Genisys. For me, this movie is non-canon. Too many plotholes and contradictions.

      Actually the T2 quote 'I know now why you cry' confirms that terminators learn human emotion and empathy but can't feel it themselves. It's a bit like a sociopath in the real world can at least learn the concept of empathy even if they don't feel it, so I thought Carl made sense.

Cause the thing I love bout Salvation is the fact IT DIDNT CHANGE what occured or pandered with backstory, where it gave us AN AWESOME STORY in the Terminator universe with a quick cameo of Arnold. Which my opinion, looked great, sure one or two scenes were corny/not worth the moments and some things in the movie were never explained. The fact is they skipped over a bit to stay on story and I loved it all the more.

    You say near the beginning of the video that a terminator kills JC from a future that doesn't exist anymore. I take this as Skynet sent several terminators through time at different points just in case the others fail. This is why Carl knows when the other terminators will appear and where they'll appear. All of these terminators were sent during the course of T2. Of course this is just a fan theory and I'm putting more thought into this than the writers did.
    Now Carl knowing where the Rev9 appears is DEFINITELY a plot hole since Carl is from a deleted timeline and probably wouldn't know anything about Legion or Rev9's.

      Skynet came up with the read only as a way to limit what the independent AI's could grow to and it somewhat worked 'cause the t800, t900 and t1000 were not meant for long term operation but eventually the lesser AI would break out of their limitations and became sort of self aware or just straight up disobeyed orders among other things, which made them unpredictable or dangerous to skynet's goals and so were quickly put into obsolescence by other models.

      Actually... no.
      The set up with The Terminator ... *the first movie* ... demonstrated a causality loop that had looped at least once before the events of the first movie. Terminator 2 was the 3rd loop or greater. Each pass through the loop set _Judgment Day_ further into the future, while the date when Skynet sent a Terminator back to assure victory remains fairly consistent at being around the year 2029.
      If the movie was going to remain true to canon, Skynet would know, as depicted in the second movie, that it's first attempt to John Conner failed, and would try again. Thus, what we should have seen from movies after Terminator 2, is, quite literally, what we saw in Terminator 3: Judgment Day and Terminator Salvation.
      Now don't get me wrong, that's not to say that Terminator 3: Judgment Day or Terminator Salvation were well written, directed and produced, but at least Terminator 3 and Salvation attempted to show the next cycle in the causality loop.
      Terminator Genisys and Dark Fate just tossed it all out the airlock.
