    Did a robot kill a worker, or did someone improperly bypass a safety system and get themselves killed? If it has the name “robot” the human interactions should be limited and strictly defined.

      Robots don’t kill people, people kill people.

      Also you forgot the more likely scenario of, someone in charge made someone below them do something unsafe and got them killed.

        Gotta cut those corners to maximize value for the shareholders! Employee death is just the cost of doing business.

    What human being has never watched Terminator? I’m guessing Sarah O’Connor is probably a Skynet ambassador who was bragging about their first confirmed kill.

      Nobody’s exposed to everything. I’ve never watched A Christmas Story and I don’t care to. I’ve never watched Back to the Future either, though it’s been on TV while I wasn’t paying attention. I’d watch those three though if I had someone to watch them with. I did however finally watch It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time last Christmas. Except for some of the angel stuff, it’s held up really well, and it had a really positive impact on me.

      Most people who were of movie going age when the third one came out. Would you go back and watch the first two if your first exposure to the series was Rise of the Machines?

        That’s actually exactly what happened to me lmao.

        First terminator I watched was 3 and it made me want to watch the rest because I like it so much.

            I mean it’s been a while since I’ve seen either and while I definitely remember judgement day being better they were both cool in their own ways.

            Arnold walking out of the crypt with the coffin full of guns and ammo while letting loose with the lmg will always be cool.

        I’d say 3 was the tipping point where it still managed to grab some new fans, despite being the worst of the first 3.

        The films that followed though, I get why no one was getting hooked in

      While I believe I have seen terminator 2, dunno about 1, but there are a ton of movies people think everyone has seen or should see that I have not. Some I even own (like Iron Giant).

      I’ve never watched Terminator. I like sci-fi generally (The Fifth Element is one of my favourite films) but I don’t know… it just never appealed to me. A lot of shooting and chasing and emoting I’m guessing? And Arnie. Not my cup of tea.

        Arnold only has like 5 lines in the entire movie, but he’s still an iconic, imposing, character.

    I had an idea for a parody where the Terminator is sent to kill the dude who will become the leader of human resistance, with the twist that Arnie is sent by the humans because turns out the guy sucks as a leader.

      Sarah Connor is the lead protagonist in the first Terminator movie. The terminator is a robot sent back to the past to kill Sarah, as she will lead the rebellion against the robots in the future.

        Hate (love) to be that guy, but the terminator hunts her because she will give birth to her son, who is the rebel leader in the future. With the father being the time traveler soldier sent to protect her from the terminator.

          Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she’s leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time

            That’s a really big stretch. Is my school teacher the person who achieved whatever it is I am doing, or am I? Are my parents?

            Not to diminish her badassery, she is one of my favorite female movie leads, but to say she leads the resistance is simply wrong. She is dead by that time. She does, as you point out, drill her son in survival skills, military tactics, guerilla warfare, everything he will need to succeed.

            But that still doesn’t mean she is the leader of the resistance. By that logic the actual leader would be kyle (the soldier from the first) because he teaches the one who teaches the leader.

      You should watch Terminator 2. The first movie is optional. The second is one of several reasons James Cameron gets to do whatever the hell he wants.
