Honestly, why didn't they make the Terminator a woman?


See above. They used one in T3, this movie had three other women in it... I think they might as well have gone all the way with it.

In fact, it would have been cooler if they had sent back a Sarah Conner duplicate to fight the old Sarah Conner. I get they don't know what she looks like, but they have taken so many liberties with this concept they can retcon a way.

Some missed opportunities with this flick...

I'm definitely down for seeing another female Terminator.

The cyborg chic was in a way a terminator. It would've been too much women bashing on each other. I loved this movie btw.

FWIW, the majority of heroes were women.

To me it's obvious they wanted all women to be the badasses who fight to save the future and the world. As for the men... one was the evil enemy and the other a submissive servant.

Maybe I'm thinking too far... maybe this movie didn't have a feminist agenda. But if did, having a female terminator wouldn't suit it.
