    Can a Terminator survive without Schwarzennegger? Because he is way too old to be a Terminator anymore and he shouldn't be playing one as much as I love him. But no other character has ever stood out apart from the original Sarah, Kyle, John, Terminator and T1000.

    I mean he was too old last time too and that hardly stopped them.

    Yeah but look at the quality of that film.

    If they could find someone to carry it and simultaneously close out the series by wiping out the third and fourth and fifth films, then let Cameron have at it.

    The TV show already did that but was canceled before it could resolve itself.

    Watching a terminator completely fucking murder every last stupid blue cat person it can find and win might be the only way I see another movie in either of those franchises

    And I intend to keep it that way.

    I enjoyed TSCC, but I'd hardly call it essential viewing, so this is a stance I can endorse.

    Yeah. T2 just has an ending that's really too definitive for me to want to go on.

    OK, look, I am all about Summer Glau, and I've heard that TSCC was a good show, but ... this image might be the most ridiculous thing I've seen related to Terminator outside of the inflatable boobs in 3. And I've seen Genisys.

    It's a pretty great movie

    I'm never sure if I like the first one or the second one more

    I think it might be an instance of a consistent product versus one with higher highs and lower lows

    Also the wildly different aims of the two films, to the point of fitting into different genres, makes direct comparison kind of difficult. They're both among my top favorite filmes and which one I prefer kind of depends on my mood, I think

    I'm decidedly an Alien over Aliens guy

    And I think I lean towards Terminator over T2, which would fit the pattern

    T2 is incredible, arguably the best action film of all time

    There's sooo many stand out scenes, it is ridiculous.

    For the longest time my child brain thought that he voiced Tommy Pickles and you could not convince me otherwise.

    T2 has good action but I had trouble pushing through Furlong's grating performance back in 1991 and I have trouble pushing through it today. Ultimately I'm just not really a Terminator fan. It's one of those franchises wherein I find more appeal in the concept than I've ever seen in execution.

    Also, yeah, Alien >>> Aliens.

    I didn't like terminator and then after 2 they made a huge amount of garbage so I've never gone back to watch it

    But clearly it must be great if they've tried like 5 times to recapture it

    It's definitely very different from The Terminator so don't let your feelings on that movie get in your way.

    terminator 2 has bobby budnick in it and is therefore superior to all other terminator movies automatically

    I probably favour Alien as the subjectively better film over Aliens, but I find Aliens easier to watch because it's just so goddamn enjoyable.

    Wait, we're classifying The Terminator as horror? Hard disagree.

    And yeah, T2 : The Terminator :: Aliens : Alien insofar as ratio of differences to similarities.

    Edit: screwed up my comparison!

    Terminator isn't horror, I wouldn't say

    But it's more of a thriller than an action movie, and thrillers and horror get lumped together a lot, so I can see the logic there
