I wanted to see the new Terminator anyway because of Linda Hamilton but I'm seeing that some men are angry because Feminism is in it or something and that just makes me more excited.
T1 and T2 were good because of her and because Sarah Conner was the focus of the story. T3 lost its way by believing Arnold and John were the heroes. It'd be like removing Ripley from the ALIENS series. This just confirms my belief that all the guys who use Sarah Conner and Ellen Ripley as examples of "strong female characters" they don't hate *would*, in fact, hate them if their movies came out today.
Hell, one guy I saw complaining claimed there are "no political issues" in T1 and T2 and OH MY GOD. Nuclear war, capitalism, the tech and war industries bent on our communal destruction in search of profit, medical abuse, foster neglect, THE BAD GUY IS DRESSED AS A FUCKING COP, do I need to go on??
HOLY SHIT THE NEW TERMINATOR SAPPHIC LOVE BALLAD FEELS
HOLY FUCK HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK
YES OMG OMG OMG YES THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER
DIABETIC TERMINATOR GIRL?????
OH HOLY. FUCKING. OVARIES.
MY FEELINGS.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Oh god Sarah is powerful and sexy and strong and I just-
Oh my god that was the best movie I've ever seen, bar none.
The scene with Grace shoving Sarah against the wall was SEX.
I cannot deal with my own dang feels.
Ok, the only terminator movies that matter:
- Terminator
- Terminator 2
- Terminator: Dark Fate
(I personally liked Genisys for what it was, but I'm ok with it being non canon so Dark Fate can exist.)
I still find it hilarious that men were angry about the US military and cops being useless or outright evil in the movie, given that was their role in *checks notes* literally all the other Terminator movies too. "The OTHER Terminator movies didn't talk about illegal immigration!!" My dude, she goes entirely off-grid and moves to Mexico, did you think she left a passport paper-trail??
Can I just say as someone Older Than A Lot Of Folks, how valuable it was to me to see an older woman being powerful and ripped and sexy in a movie?? Linda Hamilton is 63 and Sarah Conner has my consent to do whatever the fuck she likes to me. And that's not noteworthy when it's various aging Hollywood men, and yet! I honestly can't remember the last time an action movie starred an older woman in this kind of role.
I seriously--and I am not joking here--feel like TERMINATOR DARK FATE should be shown in sex education classes to help the baby sapphics come out.
