The more and more I think about this movie, the angrier I get as a long time fan.
Not only does this new movie make T1 and T2 pointless, it says the characters you invested in for the past 30 years are utterly disposable.
I mean the new movie literally has a scene where Sarah says Dani is the new John.
And apparently, this was all Cameron's idea...

And maybe it could have been pulled off with a better script or direction? Maybe something was cut?
I dunno.
But as a long time fan, instead of the Big Twist being an emotional dramatic gut punch, it felt more like a kick in the balls.
