Wouldn't it make more sense to ditch that skin once blown n change appearance continuously, so its targets won't see it coming from a mile? Is it a racist machine or does it keep that skin so it's clear for everybody, targets included, it's it?

I know this movie is drivel n there's another tons of problems n mistakes, but they couln't even get the basics right: terminators are infiltration units, surprise and camouflage are its bread n butter.

The movie was stupid for that reason.

The Rev 9 would infiltrate and then just blow its cover in the stupidest way possible, especially compared to how the T-800 killed John at the beginning of the film like an absolute pro.

This movie was so obnoxiously nonsensical that I'll just leave that as it is to avoid going on several paragraph-long rants.

well , yknow how y'all keep saying "t1 and T2" are the only good ones , all others are dead to me ....

well the T1000 in T2 did exactly the same thing.

"well the T1000 in T2 did exactly the same thing."

If you mean the T-1000 blew its cover, that probably because it knew the frail, squishy humans would never be able to stop its solid, metallic self so it felt confident in going on the attack early.

"Is it a racist machine or does it keep that skin so it's clear for everybody, targets included, it's it?"
I cant make that out through the sarcasm .
lets take this equation apart ....
lets suppose its not so its emimies can identify it easily , that leaves
"Is it a racist machine"

So are you saying that the robot is a racist because it chose to look like a mexican?

Yes, it s racist because it picked one particular ethnicity, a minority one, and wouldn t let go.

It s perfect for the beginning. It makes zero sense once it s blown and the country changes.

I get that its not tactically advantageous, but how is it racist?

[–] ccr1633 (1526) 5 years ago

Insisting on being one race only, despite having a diversity of options that aren't tactically disadvantageous, is racist. Sure, it's absurd reasoning, but if these are the rules the woke world wants to play by then apply it to every situation and every race indiscriminately. Otherwise, just own up to the bias you purposefully and of conscious mind advocate for socio-political policy.

Because the movie company did not want to pay a lot of actors. The whole movie really sucked, and I expect more from Cameron ... maybe he has Alzheimer's.

To be honest, I think ALL of these formerly great directors have mental illnesses:

George Lucas
Peter Jackson
James Cameron
Steven Spielberg

They've all practically ruined their careers with inferior later movies.
