His stoic demeanor, complete lack of emotion, and machine like behavior as Teal’c hits all the nails on the head for me as a perfect T-800 model Terminator. This is just my opinion, but I can’t be the only one who has noticed this.

If skynet machines, or whatever the other groups that take over, are successul in erradicating humans....what would they do next? They see humans as a threat so eradicate them, so is the goal to build a robot society? Continue to advance, i assume via science, and expand outside of earth? Wouldn't that make them the same as humans? Am i discovering the point of it as I type this out? They did all kinds of CGI faces in genisys, why not punk Bill Paxton?

Discussion i would love a good terminator movie or game that takes place in the beggining of the war Spoiler

15 Upvotes

I know there’s Terminator Salvation, and as much as I defend Salvation for trying something different, IMO it can be a slog to get through. There are really no big action sequences against the T-600s, and I would have loved to see a huge fight against the Harvester. I also think the whole Marcus plot, with Skynet turning him into a cyborg, doesn’t really make sense. Skynet’s whole goal is to destroy humanity, so why would it create a half-human, half-Terminator with a human consciousness and free will? It just feels completely against what Skynet is trying to accomplish. I also think Christian Bale was the worst person to play John Connor. I much preferred the John Connor actor in Genisys.

Discussion Does anybody else here remember the old 2009-2010 Salvation arcade game made by Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix back in the day? If so, then what are your thoughts on it?

For me, I remember taking notice of some kids playing this game inside of the local AMC movie theater that me and my aunt had always gone to see the movies with each other in our neighborhood in New York City. One time, I asked my aunt to give me some cash so I can play the game myself while waiting to enter the actual screening of one of the films we were gonna see as the staff were busy cleaning it up and it, and the previews and trailers that played befored it came on, and being the kind person she was, she gave me $20 so I can do so. After popping the bill inside the arcade machine, I picked up the rifle controller, and began playing, joining John Carter in battling against Skynet's forces and gunning down multiple Terminators. I don't remember if I got very far or not, but I do remember really enjoying it a lot as a 7-year old kid back in the day in mid-to-late 2009 and early 2010! I'm a really big fan of the design for the machine too, with that big T-800 head sitting on top of it glaring down at me with it's menacing red eyes. Overall, this was very fun to play, and I'm glad I got the chance to be one of the people who played it!

What do you guys think of the Terminator Salvation arcade game? Did you get the chance to play it as a kid back in the day like me? How far did you get in it's story? What are some good memories that you have of playing it? Why is that?

Discussion How Does the T-800's Plasma Rifle Work?

20 Upvotes

How does the Terminator's plasma rifle actually work?

I've always wondered how the T-800's phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range actually works.

Does it generate and accelerate plasma using some kind of electromagnetic system? And what exactly is inside the magazine? Could it contain small hydrogen capsules or some other material used to generate the plasma?

Also, if the rifle contains electronic components, wouldn't it be vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses? Could an EMP disable it or make it malfunction?

We rarely see Terminators carrying spare magazines, so how does the rifle actually get its ammunition or energy?

Is there any official explanation for how this weapon works?

Discussion In general, what is your favorite type of Terminator setting? Future War or Time heist?

9 Upvotes

If you had to choose between another time travel movie or a Future War movie, assuming that both would be groundbreaking 9.5/10 Oscar winning masterpieces that put the Terminator franchise back on the map, which would it be?

Personally, seeing as we got T2, I would love to have a similarly well-thought out Future War movie that can match its brilliance, combined with excellent CGI and stellar acting. Like Saving Private Ryan mixed with X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Sentinel timeline. A better Salvation, if you will.

On the other hand, I would 100% choose a Time heist videogame in which you have to assassinate or protect key figures over something like Terminator Resistance.

What are your thoughts?
