Hack writer David S. Goyer now TERMINATES the Terminator franchise!



Just when I thought this guy couldn't get ANY worse, he proves me wrong!

After accomplishing the extremely rare feat of a PURE CRAP TRILOGY in Hollywood with DC characters (Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman, and Justice League ALL got lousy reviews, divided audiences and under-performed at the box office), he set his sights on the Terminator franchise next.

Seeing how Terminator 3, Terminator Salvation, AND Terminator: Genisys ALL underperformed at the box office, Hollywood probably challenged Goyer that he couldn't possibly come up with ANOTHER film that would ruin the franchise even more than it already is, or make a Terminator film flop if he had James Cameron, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Linda Hamilton, AND Eddie Furlong aboard to help promote it.

Goyer said "hold my beer...", went to work on writing Terminator: Dark Fate, and here is the result:

MoS and BVS weren't super hits but they at least turned a profit.
