Is There an End to "Terminator" Franchise?Posted: January 15th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  I have many issues with the "Terminator" franchise; one of them being that it seems to be never-ending. This is common in many time-travel films, since you can always change events by going back in time and people in the future/present must always battle the outcome.
Since we now have a new "Terminator" trilogy, maybe director McG and his crew have some ideas on how to end this whole thing. "Yes, we have," McG told Bloody-Disgusting. "The films will all button up at the end of three."
He added that he can't guarantee that all three films will be made or that he will return to helm, but the plan is currently to end the franchise at the end of this trilogy.

Why is your opinion needed here? It's a ridiculous claim anyway to say that there is no end to this story. It ends when the war with the machines is over in the future. Think of the first movies as prequels. They set up the main part of the story, John Connor's story, which we are about to see starting in this film. Where does WP get you writers and how do they allow you to keep asking stupid questions and ridiculous claims?

Ugh. McCheese's vision constitutes the 'main story'? Dear god. And other 'franchises' seem to never end, and they don't use time travel, so I son't think Terminator continues simply because of the aspect of traveling through time. It's called greed, and a lack of imagination. Terminator will end when people stop watching. Fifty years from now, Terminator will have its eighth remake, spinoff or directly inpired film.

Well, eighth remake and/or eightieth spinoff et cetera. Really wish they had left Terminator alone after T2.

Oh, no question?
Just a rant? I expected less of you WP. Much less!
If you want an opinion, post a comment or write a blog. This isn't news. He's always been making HIS trilogy. A director doesn't leave it hanging on the last film.
Someone will reboot it along the line. The Franchise never ends. Not should it.

Think about it. The machines knew that John Connor could lead the war against them, so they sent back a Terminator to kill his mother. If they feel they are still losing the war, they can go back to destroy whoever or whatever they want. And the humans can do the same. This is truly a never-ending story.

In my opinion it already stopped at the second movie. The war with Skynet was stopped, the machines destroyed, and the T-1000 that was sent was a prototype that was sent as a last ditch effort to stop Conner, but even that was stopped. But as long as there is money to be made they are going to force more half assed stories, that do not really fit in, like they did with the third film to keep loading our Summer with sequels.

Is there an end to the franchise, Alex, or an end to the story as it roughly conforms to Camerons original vision? The films are progressing in fictional chronological time. Either the third film will end with the destruction or Skynet or it will not. So, if not, does that imply the Terminator franchise is forever mired in the futire, on the battlefield with endless HKs and terminators? Is that all we have to look forward to, or maybe even worse just reboots and remakes. The Terminator, remade, coming Summer 2018. Terminator 2, remade, coming Summer 2023. Terminator 3. . .and then spinoffs. All this sh*t made until people stop watching, Video games, toys, comics, tv series. Maybe a movie told from the Terminator's perspective, or a HK love story, or a film about the day Skynet went to the market.

I, personally, would love to see Cameron's vision come to some sort of a conclusion. Then we'll get into spin-offs and remakes.

Alex, the point of T2 was that there was no hard conclusion. It was left to the reader. That's what many great authors do, they leave the ending ambiguous, so that you, the reader, can draw a conclusion. Because Cameron is a something of a cynic, he didn't want the finale of T2 to seem too terribly upbeat and final, even considering the alt ending. He HOPED humans would avoid the war with the machines, that the Connor's had given mankind enough time to prepare for sentient AI without a disastroous conflict. He took a cynical look at mankind's failings, and offered a slant of hope. T3 and T4 simply say that mankind can't think, that we can only fight. And f*ck. That the future isn't for us to decide, that we are little more than animals without much thought, and that we will always f*ck up and have to battle our own nightmares. I don't believe the writers of T3 and t4 were thinking of that when they penned the scripts, they just wanted to give the companies a story and to make a living. But again, Cameron gave us a conclusion to the war: Skynet LOST, mankind won. Through it all, through a war we caused, mankind fought down the dark tunnel and into the light. The t-1000 was the last. Skynet had lost. Mankind was on the verge of victory. The only way that T3 and T4 have any credibility is due to the ambiguities of time travel, basically in the kinks of a paradox caused by a phenomenon most scientists say is phyisically impossible. So, I really think Cameron's ending WAS the conclusion: war averted, but if not, we win and Skynet is destroyed. Story over, The End. Not for Hollywood. They milk any market. They're like gold prospectors heading for Sutter's Mill. They will mill into oblivion any line of gold ore, scarring the land and maiming anyone that gets in the way. And that is nothing but greed, a vice people once avoided. Now it's the American Way.
