    I think the most terrifying aspect was how they just move on to the next target after a kill. Other villains would show some emotion after they get some kind of victory. The sentinels simply don’t, they kill and just walk away. That’s what sets them apart, they’re not exactly villains, they’re a force.

      ​@@Arpin_Lusene It seems like some superpowers are just too much for them to adapt to and they have to resort to overwhelming numbers to deal with such opponents. Clearly the nuke strike worked. It just couldn't kill enough of them. And even when they adapted to Iceman it still took 3 of them to gang up on him which means even a sentinel adapted to Iceman cannot take him on 1vs1.

    Yeah, the reason why the sentinels in days of future past were so terrifying was because they’re based off the super sentinel in the comics known as Nimrod. It was a lot like doomsday from DC.

      Probably not? From my limited knowledge, the Sentinels from Days of Future Past are able to beat the mutants because they basically adapt their powers based on the actual gene that the mutant they're fighting with has. Hulk doesn't have a mutant gene. He's pure gamma radiation.
      Same thing with Thor. He's the Norse God of Thunder. Even if one of the Sentinels were able to hypothetically gain the power of Mjolnir, Thor can just....control it.
      This was shown in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes when Absorbing Man absorbed Mjolnir and Thor just levitated him to space.
      Iron Man would also not have a problem, cuz...well, it's Iron Man. He has suits meant to take on heavy hitters.

    The best way to describe these Sentinels would be "Efficient Cruelty". They are appropriately machine-like in their combat approach and general demeanor - with all the tactical efficiency that entails - but the methods in which they kill their targets can only be called _sadistic._ Like ganging up and tearing Colossus in half, slowly choking out Sunspot and Iceman, overloading Bishop's energy absorption and slowly lowering Warpath into its face-laser. The Sentinels are brutally skilled Mutant killers, but more than that they are inhumanly cruel butchers.

    I love it when machines who are hyped up to be ‘’efficient killers’’ actually deliver on this description. Something that’s frustrating in the later Terminator movies is how much terminators are hyped up as advanced machines made specifically to kill yet fail so badly at this task by just throwing their target around or getting bullied the entire movie.
    The Sentinels actually felt dangerous. A machine so advanced that nothing can stop, quickly and efficiently goes for the kill and can’t be stopped no matter what.

      If an actual terminator grabbed someone, that part of the body would be toast - broken, crushed or snapped off. And then the rest of the body would follow. No throwing around.
      I laughed so hard when the legless terminator in Salvation threw John away twice! Why would it do that if it has no legs to catch up to John before he recovers from the throw? Ridiculous. And it grabs him ever so gently to barely wrinkle his clothes.

    Ultron was pretty terrifying, he was still somewhat on the comedic side looking back. One scene that rivals the sentines was with wanda or Black window I dont remember actually but he basically talked about how he always comes back stronger and as he says that he literally demolishes his own body with a new and improved copy of himself. And the sound effects also were really adding to it. Fantastic scene.

      Ultron isn’t supposed to be charismatic or funny. Ultron’s a cold uncaring, calculating machine who sees humans as inferior and nothing but a hinderance to earth. To give it a personality is to give it a more humanised feel, which contradicts its whole motive.
      A personality along the lines of how Hugo Weaving playing Agent Smith would have been better suited for Ultron.
      What makes Ultron intimidating is that cold, blank expression it has. Disney just always has to have its villains be witty and funny, because that’s what tests well with market research, but this wasn’t a Bond villain, this was something entirely its own. A bit more research into the comics would have been good

      It's because at that period of time humans felt the biggest threats to the planet were mutants. There were people being killed by mutants at the time. Also, the sentinels eventually reprogrammed themselves as to hunt humans as well. Their programming originally had them hunting mutants however because humans can give birth to mutants, the sentinels deemed it necessary to remove all human life as a fails safe from the planet in order to 100% eradicate mutants.

    Days of Future-Past Future Sentinels are akin to the original Terminator: menacing, ruthless, adaptable, nigh invincible, and emotionless. They are also, like you mentioned, in the uncanny valley with their towering bodies with elongated limbs (reminiscent of Slender Man imo), scaly, yet sleek skin (like a cross between a reptile and a panther), contrasting yellow eyes (similar to a wild predator staring back from the darkness), Also worth mentioning is these Sentinels having an intelligence through individual adapations and proficient pack hunting strategies. Despite them using mutant abilites to exterminate their targets (which provides trauma to the living heroes for seeing their dead friends' abilities being used against them and more drama for the audience), the Sentinels resume their orignal darkened forms when finished, which resembles their terrifying mass of shadows that continues its mutant extinction objective
    Of course, this also calls to the future legions of T-600s in the Terminator series. I haven't looked into if the original Days of Future-Past was inspired by Terminator, but it wouldn't surprise me.
    This also awed and creeped me out when I saw this in theaters. Definitely set the tone for the future protagonists and stakes for the past protagonists and the film. Didn’t get that feeling again until Thanos snapped the gauntlet.
    Great summary and great highlighting some of the great works of pre-merger MCU films before their memory fades.
