Just start from the beginning again.

Remake the 1st one. Have John Cena be the terminator

You’re telling me you can’t see John Cena as the terminator

People hate John Cena?

The main objection is not about Cena, it's about remaking a classic film. The first Terminator movie was a gritty horror movie that was a product of its time. If it was made today it would be too glossy, bright and clean.

Regarding Cena as the Terminator, I don't think he would work. He has this goofiness about his charisma that lends him to be better with comedy. You are just looking for a big guy to be the Terminator to replace Arnold but that's not what made him good in the role. The second best Terminator was Robert Patrick. He wasn't a big guy but he was able to play that focused, stone cold killer role while switching it up when infiltrating to get information on his target and he made it believable and frightening. It seemed believable when he was tossing Arnold around in their fight because he made you forget he wasn't really a machine. That's how a terminator should be and I don't think Cena could pull it off.

There’s nowhere else for the franchise to go. They did the war between the humans and machines in Salvation. If they all the movies after T2 didn’t exist, Dark Fate would’ve made more sense.

Just my opinion, T1 isn’t even that good. T2 was the film that put the series on the map. T1 is very good but it was not the film that made it the blockbuster series it is.

regarding Cena, his first gimmick in wrestling was literally called the Prototype. Half man half machine. He also had an entire reality tv show he where hunted people down before he even debuted on smack down. He’s perfect for the role. He’s also on the come up so most people will accept him

Terminator 1 is better than Terminator 2. Sorry, that corny kiddie shyt doesn't do it for me. T1 was a sci fi slasher just like alien

The first season and last three or four episodes of season 2 the Sarah Connor chronicles are the only thing redeemable about this franchise after T2.

T1 will always be my fave...i feel privileged to say I saw it in the movies...I was damn near a baby but I still remember the audience reaction when Arnold removed his eye in the mirror

T2 was ahead of its time though...the storyline and SE's today still hold up very well.

They need to let this shyt die already tho...it completely went down the drain after T3..there's nowhere else to go with it
