Listen and understand that Hollywood is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until this series is dead.
How do you best destroy something? Think about it in human terms. You don't want to kill someone you hate. You want to torture them while keeping them alive, hopefully forever. It's essentially hell--eternal torture. So the best way to kill a series is not to stop producing it, but to keep making bad iterations of it again and again and again and again. That's why I always say it's best to let a series rest in peace than keep it 'alive' just to torture its mangled meat sack of a body. Nobody agrees with me.
Yeah man, and it _thematically_ fits too; the T1000 being all computer-y himself, so it's ok if it looks slightly strange and unnatural (unlike, say, the whole de-aged actor weirdness of the later movie products)
@Navarro Dodge I watched T1 and T2 last month, and i'll say that T2's effects still holds up well. T1 though, a lot of the effects just didn't hold up. Two examples are in this video even. But like you said, both are still great films.
I mean genesis kinda did that, movie opened with the resistance fighting a fuck load of terminators, Emilia Clarke was in the sewers for a while and Matt Smith played the terminator queen.
In the future Skynet sends a terminator in the past to kill Schwarzy before he can kill the predator, so there you have it : Arnold as a commando has to fight Arnold as a terminator in the jungle, AND a predator. You're welcome, Hollywood.

otto andersson I still have the most respect for Salvation. It came closest from escaping the “future robots try to kill someone who will be important in the future” plot which is literally every Terminator plot ever. But at least they put somewhat of an interesting twist on it by having it take place in the future, and this time Kyle Reese is the figure which must be protected so that he can be sent back to the past. Plus, I give that movie’s team and not Dark Fate’s credit for creating a human who is turned into a half-Terminator, which is a cool idea that I think is fleshed out a little better in Dark Fate. I know conventional Hollywood wisdom is to steer clear of anthology-type series’, but I think the Terminator franchise’s best chance of success is to do more stand alone movies in the Terminator world but that don’t have much of anything to do with time travel and don’t touch anything the original two movies did. We haven’t seen really that much of the future war, so why don’t they tell some stories there? Or maybe instead of just trying to assassinate one person from the resistance at a time, they have a whole hit list of key humans that the humans have to try to save. (Again, something brushed over but not really done in Salvation.)
@@bradenhogan2 I agree with having respect for salvation. I think it's 75 percent a really good movie. Despite being pg 13, I found it more frightening and atmospheric than dark fate. I just think the politics of the future wasn't done well (not that it can't be). I also think Helen Carter Burton is an awful actress mostly (and especially in this film). I loved the the idea of a cyborg. I guess Tim pool did too because he stole the idea and it was actually okay. Salvation sis it better tho
@@ChristopherBushman The Terminator movies are like if taco bell used time travel to keep sending the same meal you ate yesterday, but each day substituted one of the ingredients with a different bodily fluid until it becomes an unrecognizable mess of shit.

The actor History / plotline / character backstories to the Terminator franchise: Finally, Plinket's dementia is entirely appropriate, maybe _he's beating this terrible affliction!_ \😂/
Deep fake is what they should've done with Edward Furlong's and Linda Hamilton's faces in that beginning scene instead of the more expensive digital de-aging. At least that would've saved them more money to put into the other lackluster effects in this otherwise dead-on-arrival movie. 😒
@@vietnamd0820 Mike enjoyed it to some extent, and there are often times that I find myself in a more "Mike frame of mind." If I wanna get drunk and watch a dumb movie about robots and time travel then I will. I've paid money for worse experiences than that... much worse.
@@MarsofAritia No, a reboot is still within canon but is a remake in all other ways. Force Awakens is a reboot of A New Hope because it has the same structure and elements, but still has returning characters. A de-boot is when say Terminator 4 is a sequel to Terminator 2 and it canonically ignores 3. I'd say I prefer Rich Evans's definition though, which is when they try to remake a franchise (Doom 3, DmC Devil May Cry) and then that fails so they ignore it and just continue with the previous canon (DOOM 2016, Devil May Cry 5).
@@Horatio787 You're mistaking reboot with "soft reboot". The Dark Knight movies were a reboot because it discards all the previous Batman films. Terminator Dark Fate may be shit, but it still maintains canon, thus qualifies as a sequel, just tries to fulfill the same functions as a reboot and remake... (So it's a REquel!) Well actually, people already have a word for that. It's called a "retread".
The funny thing is like Halloween they do and they don't. They say none of the past matters but then they do a bunch of the same shit that happened in T3 and Salvation anyway.
@Man on phone If you want a vision of the future, imagine сomputerised old man Pacino's boot stamping on a human face to a Dunkin Donuts jingle - forever.
They could have gotten Norman Reedus to play John Connor instead of killing off the character just because Edward Furlong is incapable of handling the character in his current state. Norman Reedus resembles Furlong much more than the other 4 guys.
A precious few still exist out there, like rare, twinkling jewels among all the mush-piles of whored-out cinders (Someone should compile a list of 'em......Just don't show it to any hack producers....) @_@
I see it thanks to the High Seas (i'd never pay money for this) and RLM are _really_ digging to find anything nice to say about it, to the point it somewhat seems like they're scared to say anything too negative because of backlash from a certain group of people... Probably why they pretty much gloss over the blatant politics/ideology that's infected it. As a Terminator film it's absolute #@#! and a disgrace. As a standalone action film it's 5/10.
The Terminator with restrictions on its mode from Skynet doesn't feel remorse, but then again who the fuck reset Carl's chip, and since Skynet doesn't exist....wait what?
To be fair, Kyle had been fighting them his entire life, so probably not feeling very charitable toward them in terms of seeing them as anything other than killers.
Terminator: Salvation threw out Terminator 3, and Terminator: Genysys threw out Terminators 3 & 4, and Terminator: Dark Fate threw out all of them. So the series is effectively two movies and four fanfictions.
Thing is, Dark Fate also kind of threw out T2. John Connor didn't survive anyway, the sacrifice of Arnold-bot and Dyson didn't matter, the apocalypse wasn't stopped. T2 might as well not have happened as none of it was important.
@@fnordiumendures138 wrong. They did prevent the the judgment day. Skynet was replaced by Legion. In the end it doesn't mater because we human will always create AI. Declare AI unethical and prevent human from creating it then we might have peace.
There's a few things in Salvation that directly connect it to T3. The character of Kate Brewster is still around and is now John's wife (like the T-850 revealed in T3), the new Judgement Day happens in 2004 and T-1 units (with a redesign) show up. Salvation's intention was to start up a new trilogy, but at the same time it still followed on from T3's plot.
@D Ceased Rich was the original Plinkett. He played Plinkett in short films released before the Plinkett reviews. Then Mike took the character of Plinkett for the reviews. Then Rich took up the mantle of Plinkett again in Half in the Bag.
The opening skit is one of the best HitB openings ever. The Terminator franchise really gives Star Wars a run for it's money in being more creatively bankrupt
FFS, why can't they focus on giving John connor development so we can eventually get to the John connor that saves humanity. The character always gets sidelined.
Personally I find the whole war in the future to be the least interesting thing about the franchise. It's just a catalyst for the time traveling robotic assassin
If I had an infestation of mice I'd create a robot cat with a titanium exoskeleton and then create a time machine and send it back to the 80s (in my house) to kill the first breeding pair of mice just after it was built. That's common sense
You don’t understand, skynet is much too bloated and over swelling with resources to actually be effective and get anything done, sorta like modern day America
The epilogue of T2: The Director's Cut showing Sarah Connor watching John and her grandaughter playing in the same park that would have been destroyed if Judgement Day had occurred is the true ending of the Terminator storyline. I so wish that ending had been in the theatrical ending...
You are joking but at this point, I would be open to a Terminator film directed by him. Tim Miller was a bad choice. Shit, bring in Lars Von Trier to direct a Terminator film. Sure it would be fucking nuts and depressing as hell but it would be at least something new.
I'd heard that Ed Furlong was super bummed because he apparently spent months getting into shape so he wasn't Bloat Connor after they "cast him", only to find out they were just using his likeness/voice for a death scene.

"Why Don't they all just go back in time?" "Why don't they just go back to the time of the Dinosaurs? Wait. Is that how Claire Danes ended up in Jurassic World?" Hot damn what an amazing skit.
The fact that they pointed out how dumb it is that the advanced AI of the future never think to just send a nuke or bio weapon back in time instead of killer robots that continuously fail the task... …I think even if it is completely rebooted at this point I can never conceptually take this series seriously again.
One of the saddest things about blockbusters in the 2010s is that "FULL SPOILERS" has gone from a word of caution to a relief that you don't need to actually watch any of the movie.

I choose 3 and salvation sans Helen Carter
please no not Mass Effect 3 again
otto andersson I still have the most respect for Salvation. It came closest from escaping the “future robots try to kill someone who will be important in the future” plot which is literally every Terminator plot ever. But at least they put somewhat of an interesting twist on it by having it take place in the future, and this time Kyle Reese is the figure which must be protected so that he can be sent back to the past. Plus, I give that movie’s team and not Dark Fate’s credit for creating a human who is turned into a half-Terminator, which is a cool idea that I think is fleshed out a little better in Dark Fate.
I know conventional Hollywood wisdom is to steer clear of anthology-type series’, but I think the Terminator franchise’s best chance of success is to do more stand alone movies in the Terminator world but that don’t have much of anything to do with time travel and don’t touch anything the original two movies did. We haven’t seen really that much of the future war, so why don’t they tell some stories there? Or maybe instead of just trying to assassinate one person from the resistance at a time, they have a whole hit list of key humans that the humans have to try to save. (Again, something brushed over but not really done in Salvation.)
@@bradenhogan2 I agree with having respect for salvation. I think it's 75 percent a really good movie. Despite being pg 13, I found it more frightening and atmospheric than dark fate. I just think the politics of the future wasn't done well (not that it can't be). I also think Helen Carter Burton is an awful actress mostly (and especially in this film). I loved the the idea of a cyborg. I guess Tim pool did too because he stole the idea and it was actually okay. Salvation sis it better tho
"These movies are like taco bell, there's 5 ingredients and they just put 'em in different order." Very succinct Mike observation, as ever

Terminator: Deep Fake was the best parody title I've ever heard.
Deep fake is what they should've done with Edward Furlong's and Linda Hamilton's faces in that beginning scene instead of the more expensive digital de-aging. At least that would've saved them more money to put into the other lackluster effects in this otherwise dead-on-arrival movie. 😒

the should make a Terminator: Boyhood Edition where a new Terminator attacks John Connor on every birthday for twelve years.

How about calling it a "de-boot" when they make a movie that ignores previous installment
Rich Evans actually called DOOM 2016 a de-boot in the PreRec episode on it, so he might actually be the first.
@@MarsofAritia No, a reboot is still within canon but is a remake in all other ways. Force Awakens is a reboot of A New Hope because it has the same structure and elements, but still has returning characters.
A de-boot is when say Terminator 4 is a sequel to Terminator 2 and it canonically ignores 3. I'd say I prefer Rich Evans's definition though, which is when they try to remake a franchise (Doom 3, DmC Devil May Cry) and then that fails so they ignore it and just continue with the previous canon (DOOM 2016, Devil May Cry 5).
@@Horatio787 You're mistaking reboot with "soft reboot". The Dark Knight movies were a reboot because it discards all the previous Batman films. Terminator Dark Fate may be shit, but it still maintains canon, thus qualifies as a sequel, just tries to fulfill the same functions as a reboot and remake...
(So it's a REquel!)
Well actually, people already have a word for that. It's called a "retread".
I'd prefer to call it "This shit again?"
The funny thing is like Halloween they do and they don't. They say none of the past matters but then they do a bunch of the same shit that happened in T3 and Salvation anyway.

They could have gotten Norman Reedus to play John Connor instead of killing off the character just because Edward Furlong is incapable of handling the character in his current state. Norman Reedus resembles Furlong much more than the other 4 guys.
Acts like how the kid acts as well just with a deeper voice
And have kojima write it. Actually this would be a good video game!
Norman is way too old. Furlong isn't on drugs anymore they could have easily got him again.

@@ahall9839 whatever
I'm just going to listen to this rather than go see the movie.
Good choice. Mike and Jay made a bigger effort coming up with explanations for the movie to work than the filmmakers did making the movie.
Same, I have zero interest in watching this and I think T2 is probably the all time best action movie
I see it thanks to the High Seas (i'd never pay money for this) and RLM are _really_ digging to find anything nice to say about it, to the point it somewhat seems like they're scared to say anything too negative because of backlash from a certain group of people... Probably why they pretty much gloss over the blatant politics/ideology that's infected it. As a Terminator film it's absolute #@#! and a disgrace. As a standalone action film it's 5/10.
Same.
Same here. Thinking about it, I haven't watched any terminator besides 1 and 2. That story is told, let it rest.
Kyle Reese: It doesn't feel remorse.
Terminator: I'm sowwy.
I got more feels from that clip from T1 even with Dark Fate and Jay interrupting than I did from the last 4 Terminator movies.
The Terminator with restrictions on its mode from Skynet doesn't feel remorse, but then again who the fuck reset Carl's chip, and since Skynet doesn't exist....wait what?
UwU
Neil Goldberg
Skynet does eventually learn remorse though after it annihilates the entire human race
To be fair, Kyle had been fighting them his entire life, so probably not feeling very charitable toward them in terms of seeing them as anything other than killers.
Terminator: Salvation threw out Terminator 3, and Terminator: Genysys threw out Terminators 3 & 4, and Terminator: Dark Fate threw out all of them.
So the series is effectively two movies and four fanfictions.
Actually it is implied Terminator 3 is canon to Terminator Salvation although it's never outright stated whether it is or isn't.
Thing is, Dark Fate also kind of threw out T2. John Connor didn't survive anyway, the sacrifice of Arnold-bot and Dyson didn't matter, the apocalypse wasn't stopped. T2 might as well not have happened as none of it was important.
@Zeno Blues Katherine Brewster is in it and Judgement Day takes place on 2004 instead of the original 1997 date. T3 definitely is canon to Salvation.
@@fnordiumendures138 wrong. They did prevent the the judgment day. Skynet was replaced by Legion. In the end it doesn't mater because we human will always create AI. Declare AI unethical and prevent human from creating it then we might have peace.
There's a few things in Salvation that directly connect it to T3. The character of Kate Brewster is still around and is now John's wife (like the T-850 revealed in T3), the new Judgement Day happens in 2004 and T-1 units (with a redesign) show up. Salvation's intention was to start up a new trilogy, but at the same time it still followed on from T3's plot.
It's insane how much better the original laundry day scene looks and sounds compared to the new one in a side by side
"It was supposed to be the start of a new trilogy" should have been the tagline of Terminators 3-6 lol
It should be the tagline of every piece of shit farted out by Hollywood studios over the next decade.
Linda Hamilton saying "I'll be back" in the most unemotional, bored, and uninterested way really matches my enthusiasm for this movie.
I don't want to be back.

T2, was john puberty, T3 was john in his 20s, T4 was john in his 40s as a resistants fighter.

You can’t make a sequel a perfect film with a perfect ending about preventing a future from happening. Terminator 2 is the perfect sequel.
The extended Rich Evans sequence was worth the budget of Terminator: Dark Fate alone.
“Those darn terminators” directed by Richard Linklater. It took 10 years to make.

…I think even if it is completely rebooted at this point I can never conceptually take this series seriously again.
Humans have to create Skynet, then it becomes sentient. If you just nuke the humans, no Skynet.
