MisterPL Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I wouldn't mind a legacy assortment that covered all the films, if that's even possible these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm sure I'd pick some up. I wasn't huge into Minimates the first time out but still grabbed a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Luke made me a very excellent Tech Noir custom, and mixing together the future Reese's head with modern Reese's body gave me the Reese I want for display. The only figures I would really still care to get are T1 Terminator after he gets run over by the truck but before the explosion, T1 Sarah Connor, and maybe an updated police assault T-800 with bullet wounds and better looking weapons. Endo might could use an update too, though. We had Minimates out the wazoo for T2, so I think that's covered. We even got freakin' Dyson.

Glantern Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 But we never got Dr. Silberman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Dyson sucked . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 He was a bit of an emotional vacuum. But we never got Dr. Silberman!Well the one most glaring omission was red-headed friend with mullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Dunno about minimates but I gotta say something about that trailer. It looks terrible. Oh my God it looks absolutely terrible. They did not set up who was who starting out so I was like "Wait where is this set? When is this set? WHAT ARE THEY DOING!? Why are they killing T-1000 again? They already did T-1000 and he was the best movie! But they couldn't stop Judgment Day last time why can they stop it now?" If the movie is anything like its godawful trailer, we'll be seeing the real nail in a franchise coffin until they do a full reboot. Maybe they can call it Terminators. Movies like that tend to do okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah. . . That's brilliant. I'm cautiously optimistic about the new movie. I'm excited to see Arnold return to the franchise, and I'm thrilled by the prospect of anyone other than Christian Bale as John Connor, but I'm not sold on the new Kyle. He just seems far too clean cut and generically good looking for the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think we can all agree that Terminator 3 was where the franchise finally got its shit together. That one really set the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's a well established fact that the third entry in any franchise is always the best. Alien 3, Superman 3, Batman Forever, X-Men 3... Best in their respective franchises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 until they do a full reboot.Pretty sure this movie is the full reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Then why Arnie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Return of the King was good, I also enjoyed Return of the Jedi... I guess the final part of a trilogy must have Return of the (fill in the blank) to be good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think this is supposed to be more like the star trek movie reboot, where it's splits off what we know to a new timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Seriously, I enjoyed Terminator Salvation. I'm a little disappointed Bale and the rest didn't come back but I'm getting used to almost all these characters being recast. (Everyone but Arnie, of course.)

Glantern Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I actually kinda like Spider-Man 3, but I understand the criticism. And, yeah this is pretty clearly a Trek style reboot. Arnold's there in the same capacity as Nimoy in Trek. And quite frankly, a time travel based reboot makes far more sense for Terminator than it did for Trek. The options for another Terminator were really limited without either a reboot or a complete change of focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I just want to mention how annoyed I am that T2 is streaming on Netflix but Terminator is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And quite frankly, a time travel based reboot makes far more sense for Terminator than it did for Trek. The options for another Terminator were really limited without either a reboot or a complete change of focus Arnold is very much the hook for this film after being little more than a digital cameo in the last one. Paramount didn't use Nimoy this much (if at all) to promote their reboot. And while time travel is very much at the heart of the Terminator mythos, Trek is certainly no stranger to the gimmick. Rebooting the franchise while leavign the previous installments untouched is a great idea for any studio looking to grow a new audience while keeping the existing one. I do agree that the focus needed to change for Terminator, although once again it looks like the twist of the story was revealed way, way too early. Maybe there's another twist... which Schwarzenegger will give away before the flick hits theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
