I genuinely hope we never see Joker to be honest. Or if we do, it's a very, very minor screentime.
He was rejected from Warcraft? Wow, that's depressing as hell.
Problems? Like COVID? Also, stop spamming your trash youtube link.
This thread is worse than the show itself.
This is how I feel whenever I have a slight urge to rewatch Hereditary.
"It sent it to Connor's next known location."
No, but that's the thing. Why send it to his next known location. Why wouldn't the T-1000 have been sent to 1984?
"Because the T1000 wasn't created yet."
This doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter if the t1000 is created in 2029 or 3029 lol. You can send it to whatever time you want; it's time travel!
he apparently didn't. lmao
"I also knew it was a rip-off of Ghost in the Shell"
It is not a ripoff of Ghost in the Shell.
I say this as a person who owns all the manga, both animated films, the live action film, and the first SAC series, and thought the Matrix was overrated back when it came out.
If you're gonna have an opinion, at least bullshit a little bit less than the wachowskis.
Then you're old enough to remember that that was before social media was so ubiquitous...and so important.
"That is the version that I think i can convince people of as they like to think time travel "creates" new timelines."
It may be easier to explain, and easier for people to understand, but there is absolutely nothing within the multiple continuities of the Terminator films and tv show that remotely suggest that there are multiple timelines. Theorizing in this manner is now effectively fanfiction, which is fine, but it's not really interpreting the films as they are.
The other guy himself admitted: "That is the version that I think i can convince people of as they like to think time travel "creates" new timelines."
lol it's convenient to explain and to understand, but it's completely baseless as far as the Terminator franchise is concerned. None of the sequels nor the tv series even suggest the idea of multiple timelines.
I'll concede on the exact point on whether or not Skynet was defeated. You're right; Reese is not a reliable source. The guy is crazy.
But I still argue that T1 as a film is designed around a bootstrap paradox. It's a time loop. The fact that the loop doesn't exist in T2 IS a retcon. I wasn't referring to Skynet's survival as a retcon actually. edit: Actually, I was. I lost track of the multiple threads we were discussing here. lol
This position remains the same even if Skynet was not defeated. The deleted scene actually boosts the time loop interpretation. Kyle Reece is always the father of John Connor as established by the gas station scene. Skynet is always the source of Skynet now established by the factory deleted scene. You don't need the timeline-changing events of T2 for any of this to work. As someone else nicely phrased it, the concept of changing the past was BOLTED onto to the franchise.
Perhaps he did have the idea of a sequel, but it is possible to have a sequel like T2 without the timeline changing. edit2 (in which case, as we both agree, the T1000 most likely must have been sent later. But again, illogical upon scrutiny because why send the t1000 to a different time?)
Hmm, that's a good point about Jaws...
I'll have to rethink my position on whether Godzilla is a villain or just an amoral agent.
This. Maybe if OP didn't pirate his film, he'd realize.
Yeah, the guy's just trolling. Someone actually basically answered him a month ago. OP's whole issue is based on the idea that Godzilla is a villain in this movie. It's very clear that Godzilla is not a villain in this movie. He's a fucking amoral force of nature.
Obviously, man was able to create a prehistoric creature whose lifespan predates humanity's. LOL
I didn't care for it either, but I think that was like his "spiritual sequel" if I recall correctly. So yeah, what you said.
There's been some movies I've watched growing up only on TV, and I never fucking knew they were censored until I was much, much older lmao. Tremors is guilty of this. I thought the stupid curses were part of the redneck humor lol
I'm not really sure that it's overlooked. Adam Sandler's always dealt with some really fucked up themes, but he treats them "in good humor". I'm not sure if that's the right phrase. The point is, he satirizes a lot, or at least, used to in these movies.
Sure, he didn't throw her out of a window like he did Ben Stiller in Happy Gilmore. But...you know, it's a happy ending. In an ideal world, he should have a loving mother. He already got a fucked up dad.
He's always been real. I don't always agree with him, but he's pretty straight up with his beliefs.
