but this one isnt that compelling
bit like the death star shot -- they needed every single circumstance to break their way to stand a chance against invincible villain |
|
Date: June 18th, 2024 9:35 PM Author: Disturbing center Honestly it's not that much more contrived than T1, where even after repeated obliteration from small arms and explosives the Terminator is still a threat until they find the fortuitous industrial press.

|
Date: June 19th, 2024 9:26 AM Author: Disturbing center My point is more that their plan in T1 ultimately relied on them getting lucky on being near an industrial factory or whatever
Anyway, when you remember that The Terminator was initially conceived of (and plays out as) a slasher movie, then just think of T-800 as Michael or Jason, and T-1000 as Freddy |

but Furlong, along with for example Wiley Wiggins from Dazed and Confused...
is an example of this weird type of guy who comes across as cool and charasmatic at about age 13 and then somehow devolves into a wretched loser by the time they are 18, never to return
