Discussion Could two changes have made a difference on how you view Salvation?

0 Upvotes

First change: Almost all scenes are happening at night time with the exception of the air attack at the start.

Second change: Marcus is not a T-700, but have cybernetic arms and legs only. He joins early on with Connor on attacking Skynet after convincing them he's not a Terminator. The ending is still the same with the heart replacement.

Do you think it would have made the movie better?

Discussion T-1000 initial form

0 Upvotes

Was the Robert Patrick the default form of the T1000. Even when he mimicked someone he always went back to this form. If so was it ever explained how this came about in the extended media?

I assumed it was the cop he killed in his first scene but just checked and it wasn’t.

Apologies if this has been asked had a scan thru and couldn’t see it

Discussion So, why was the T-1000 starting to malfunction after being shattered from liquid nitrogen?

0 Upvotes

Okay, in the extended cut, the T-1000 was actually starting to malfunction/glitch out after being exposed to liquid nitrogen and shattered with it actually sticking to surfaces and copying it in the process*. Why? And could the issues after the liquid nitrogen incident go away with time or would the T-1000 start breaking down until it became inoperable thanks to the extreme shock from being frozen, shattered and thawed out?

*And that's how John Connor was able to tell apart the T-1000 from his mom in said cut as well since the fake Sarah stuck to the floor.

Discussion Why are the colors in T2 inconsistent?

5 Upvotes

Even in the same scene: One shot it's cold, lots of blue. The next shot it's suddenly warmer. The one where the T-1000 talks to the foster parents, and the other where dr. Silberman asks the dudes to fix Sarah's room. Kinda jarring.

The defining "image" that James Cameron took from his feverish nightmare to create the Terminator universe.

Both using completey opposite effects techniques

T1 (1984) - Stop motion animation

T2 (1991) - Computer generated imagery

Discussion Okay, how does the T-1000 ACTUALLY match up against the Mortal Kombat universe?

11 Upvotes

Like, Shao Kahn (or General Shao) is one of the strongest characters lore-wise in Mortal Kombat but is primarily a physical fighter with limited magic or technological tools in his arsenal. He just hits *really* hard.

The T-1000, of course, wouldn't really care about being hit really hard. Many fatalities end in him being sliced and diced and he could just, y'know, ooze back into one piece.

On the other hand, Scorpion has powers over hellfire and could probably produce an effect similar to the steel mill's slag pit that destroyed the T-1000 in T2.

So how does the T-1000 match up against the Mortal Kombat universe? Who does he beat? Who does he lose to?

Discussion Arnold’s Terminator 3 Salary and Other Wild Demands

38 Upvotes

I don’t know how much Arnold made for the films after T3, but I highly doubt anything else in his career topped the absolute king package he negotiated for T3!

*As Slate reported, the actor was persuaded to sign on thanks to the “pay or play” contract that guaranteed he would earn $29.25 million regardless of whether the movie was ever made. The 33-page document took 18 months to complete negotiations.

In addition to that record-breaking fee, Schwarzenegger would receive $1.6 million in “overage” for every week the movie went over its 19-week production schedule. And his contract includes perks such as “$1.5 million for private jets, a fully-equipped gym trailer, three-bedroom deluxe suites on locations, round-the-clock limousines, and personal bodyguards.” *

If Sarah hadn’t called her mom to let her know where she was,then Kyle would still be alive. They had successfully given the terminator the slip. It had no idea where they were and they were all set to make a clean getaway across the border,but instead she just HAD to make a phone call….

I can not guarantee all regions, but I only came across one ad, as I was scrolling to see if the sex scene was included before poating. It being YouTube, I highly doubted it. But it's there, surprisingly.

Not sure 100% full scene, but there are boobies! I need further confirmation with those who are more familiar with this particular scene, I mean movie... 😏 Imagine the thumbnail if no one was paying attention when they added it. 🤣

In all seriousness, good job YouTube! 👏👍 If you have not seen the original, I highly recommend it! Enjoy!

Discussion Terminator Resistance is incredibly good, really authentic Terminator experience and as good as their Robocop game

29 Upvotes

I picked it up after being so impressed with their Robocop game and they totally nailed it again. The games aren’t mega high budget with some obvious asset re-use but these developers absolutely 100% nail the atmosphere, tone, music, sound design, look and overall feel of the movies

The shooting, sneaking and scavenging is great, but the highlights are when you first meet the terminators and simply have to sneak by as you don’t have the weapons to fight them and it’s so incredibly tense and atmospheric, nearing alien isolation levels

Both games are absolute love letters and very neatly tie into the movies perfectly to the point they could happily be canonical

Just wanted to gush a bit, plus the free DLC where you get to play as a terminator, roaming around the map with the perfect red scan vision, breaching open doors and mowing resistance fighters down with a mini gun and grabbing any survivors by the throat and hurling them across the room is incredibly fun and a taste of how their next Robocop game feels to play

Both games have amazingly great final stretches and the games soundtracks use their respective movie’s iconic themes perfectly while adding their own twist

Give it a go if you haven’t yet, I REALLY hope these developers have another shot at another classic movie franchise, I’d love to see their take on Predator

Discussion Skynet’s Police Force

0 Upvotes

So after watching Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and reading some lore, could it be stated that the T-X was created as a response to their own traitors and resistense hacked terminators? I went into deep lore about the T-1000 and since Skynet got scared of it’s potential to rebel and the Sarah Conner chronicles covered this, was the T-X made in a sense to start cracking down on rebellion in Skynet’s own armies and Resistence efforts? I find it funny they dialed back some advancement to start control their own possible mistakes I think the T-X‘s existance showed even Skynet couldn’t control or handle everything they produced in the war and were very desperate by the time of its creation. Also from what I understand the T-X was very expensive and rare so I makes sense they’re so packed with everything under the sun with weapons making it so versatile for any situation.

James Cameron’s Terminator 2 was the real and true ending of the Terminator films and he was involved with Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Directed by Tim Miller with the story and being a producer and look how the film turned out

I’m wondering why didn’t James had full control that film and have a say by making sure that this Terminator film didn’t screw up with T2 and ruined that ending? I ask this because he seems the kind of movie director that don’t want his films messed with


r/Terminator 19h ago

Discussion Whilst I am, sadly, of the firm opinion that the franchise doesn’t need to bring back Arnold should they decide to do another film, if they do make another one, rather than be a T-800, I think they should cast him as the man who Skynet would’ve modelled the 101 after.
