'Terminator' fans triggered by latest Hollywood SJW effort

I'm not a a fan of the Terminator films, but I thought Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) was amazing. She was portrayed as an incredibly strong powerful woman, and also happened to be beautiful, which seems to be a sin these days. To me,she was a true feminist, not the ball breaking, vagina costume wearing marchers of today, who seem to see all men as the enemy.

I'm so fcuking sick of the pc world we live in now.

I don't go to the cinema for politics

Cinema has always been soaked in politics, ideology, religion and whatnot. 'March of the [****ing] Penguins' even has it. 'In the harshest place on Earth, love finds a way'

They're ****ing Penguins Morgan, g'way with your pseudo-religious anthropomorphism.

So...........John Connor is now Joan Connor?

No wonder the T800 had trouble tracking him down.

They could have at least put Linda Hamilton in the middle. I've nothing against women being in lead roles but replacing the main cast with an all Female cast doesn't help at all. The Terminator/Ghostbusters(Original) etc..were created, not to push an agenda on people but just to be entertainment for people and now we have all these being recreated just to push an agenda. Women= Right, Men = Bad. Who should young boys look up to when they keep getting this stuff shoved down their gullets?

Jaysus who cares, it's gonna be ****e anyway.

I went to see Wonder Woman for the women in skimpy outfits, and stayed for the action, great movie.

I went to see Black Panther for the action, and all I got were men in skin-tight leather outfits grappling with each other - bloody awful movie.

Jus the poster alone for this Terminator movie brings back long repressed memories of Demi Moore in GI Jane when she snarled at her commanding officer... actually I won't spoil it for the lucky few who managed to avoid that godawful heap of shyte, but anyone who's seen the movie will know the scene I'm referring to :pac:

I actually don't have any issues with this and I was very much all about pooping on the Ghostbusters remake and whatever they did to Oceans whatever number it is.

But in this... Sarah Connors is tough as nuts, that Mackenzie one looks bad ass, I'll be going to check it out and I've no problems with the leads.

Riddle101 · 10-08-2018 03:32AM

I gave up on the franchise after T-3. They completely lost the plot with the movies now.

suicide_circus · 10-08-2018 03:49AM

the only saving grace is that it's a sequel rather than a remake.

This is what i don't get, Sarah Connors particularly in the 2nd one was hard as ****ing nails.

They also are going to have Arnie in it, and a kid playing young John Connors. The time changing stuff lends itself well to this movie as well.

Not quite sure what the issue is.

It's funny that a poster of 3 members of one half of the population is normal, but a poster of a different 3 members is sjw or pandering and literally the worst thing ever

super_furry · 10-08-2018 07:28AM

Doesn't take much to trigger the broflakes these days.

I mean it's not as if Terminator was a film about a kick-ass woman in the first place.

Also there was already a very strong female character in this franchise back in the 80's.

But again you have the same problem. They are trying to put their SJW feminist values in to a movie whose fan base in mostly men.

The "Oceans" movie franchise was another one they replaced with all female cast - again a flop.

It does seem odd to repeat this experiment if it isn’t succeeding. Surely money will eventually talk.

Also: enough with the reboots.

From what I can gather this one is a sequel. If nothing else people suddenly seem to care about the Terminator series for the first time in over a decade.

The Doctor Who syndrome I call it.

Let's ram things down people throats for the sake of it.

They aren't being smart, just idiotic.

Nothing wrong with decent and strong female leads but if they don't concentrate on making good and interesting characters and stories first it just ends up being a crap film.

You could easily say the same about **** movies with weak male characters. It goes both ways. The problem isn’t Hollywood trying to push an SJW agenda or being pro-feminist. The problem is ****ty writers not being able to write interesting characters.

The Ghostbusters remake was pretty good all round, assuming you're not the sort of pathetic, insecure moron who uses terms like "sjw". It certainly wasn't any worse than the originals, which were bad at the time and haven't held up well either. If it was flop it wasn't because the original films' fans were men, they were children. Unfortunately many of them still are.

You go girlfriend, tell it like it is('nt).

um7y1h83ge06nx · 10-08-2018 07:47AM

For me the problem is the shoehorning of female actors into characters we all know as male. Hand on heart I would be equally outraged if they made an Alien remake with a male Ripley.

Why not have original female characters like when one poster mentioned 3 billboards?

What male characters? John connors is in it and gabriel someome is the new terminator

ancapailldorcha · 10-08-2018 07:58AM

If people are really annoyed about this, why not just vote with your wallets and not see it? It's been decades since the last good Terminator film.

I'm so tired of modern whinging and whining culture.

No, the problem is a lack of balance. There's no attempt to bring in both male & female roles to act together. Instead, as in Terminator, Oceans, and Ghost busters, all the main characters have to be female. Everything becomes
"Team Female". All these sequels follow the same format... and it's pathetic.

Hollywood is pushing a SJW or feminist agenda because we're not seeing films with strong male and female roles acting together (which is what we had previously). Instead, we're getting this effort to show "strong"/"smart" women working together against obstacles which are male/masculine in nature.

Wonder will the Terminator central AI still be portrayed as being female?

Blazer · 10-08-2018 08:00AM

I remeber the BSG remake and Starbuck and Boomer were women. I remember thinking goddamn stupid gender balance bull**** and nearly didn’t watch it.
Luckily I did and it turned out to be one of finest tv shows ever that had both excellent male and femail actors in it.
The terminator poster looks like some real gender pandering bull**** though in fairness which will really backfire on them if the mainly male fan base said to hell with it.

Ah don't be spoiling it for the boo-boys. They haven't even seen this movie and it's the worst ever made! There is always a chance that good writers were involved and there will be interesting characters, but it is easier for people to write off the film straight away and then they can always say "I told you so" if it is crap (as it is expected to be crap solely due to the other Terminator films).

I did the same with the Ghostbusters remake when it came out. Then, I had to vacate my flat one night and it was the only thing on at the cinema. Turned out to be quite good. Not genre defining but a very good laugh.

You're confusing AI's/Characters. I wasn't talking about the Terminator personality. I wasn't referring to Arnies Terminator or any of the physical terminators that chase our heroes around the place. I referred to the mainframe AI Skynet, which did have a female personality in one of the movies.

You also referred to ALL the characters being replaced with women.
