    You must be a Trump supporter I suppose

     

    Maybe some didn’t like the idea to add a Mexican angle, even though The Terminator and T2 briefly took place in Mexico and even had Mexican characters lol (this franchise in general had fans in Latin America)

     

    But to blame this flop on casting Mexicans is straight up ignorant 

     

    But....you just agreed with me.

    I think it was more than just Furlong not being able to reprise his role. I mean, why not recast him, then? Hell, the future John Connor in T2 didn't look anything like Edward Furlong. And you can get away with it since he was still a child and people change a lot in 30 years growing up.

    But they keep doing that. It's one of the worst parts of the whole franchise. John Connor is arguably the main character of the series, yet he's portrayed by a different actor in every movie so there's no strong connection to the character or the story when there should be.

     

    Edwards Furlong was John Connor in Terminator 2, then he was replaced by Nick Stahl, then he was replaced by Christian Bale, then he was replaced by Jason Clarke and now he'd be replaced again? Six different actors across five movies? Oh and the series had a different actor too. It'd be like if they replaced Luke Skywalker for every movie he was in.

     

    Considering that this was the true Terminator 3 and they brought back Linda Hamilton also, I would rather Edward Furlong be killed off in a cameo than have someone else play him again. Preferably, John Connor would have had a large role where Edward Furlong played him but the guy is a junkie so that wasn't about to happen.

    The problem is that it's a really thinly disguised rethread of the T1-T2 formula.

    Well yeah it's a sequel. The whole cat and mouse chase is what this series revolves around.

     

    Like all Indiana Jones movies involve him travelling around to find an artifact while bad guys are trying to get it too first. 

     

    If they didn't have that formula then it wouldn't be Terminator.
