I expected this type of response from idiots who think "omg this guy insulted my instance... that means they insulted me!!!!"

Sure, I agree. I just think it would be funny though if someone actually asked him. Like some completely thoughtless and vapid interviewer walks up to him, shoves a mic in his face and asks that lol.

I really want some obnoxious interviewer to open up with "So George, do you hate Benioff and Weiss now? If so, how much do you hate them?"

The point the above user is trying to make is that it shouldn't look like it's painted on, it should look like actual rust. Their screenshot looks like a high school art project lol.

terminator zero story spoiler

but felt a bit childish in other areas and it’s not as accomplished as BES.

Terminator 1 worked because it was a horror/thriller movie about a relentless robot chasing people; Terminator 2 worked because of its cutting edge special effects (it looked like that in 1991! insane!) and exciting action scenes. Terminator 3 and beyond started to focus so heavily on the time travel and paradoxes but that was never the funnest or most interesting part of the franchise. Sarah Connor Chronicles (the short-lived Fox TV series from the late 2000s) also had a similar focus on time travel, but I give it a pass because Lena Headey AND Shirley Manson were in it lol.

Terminator Zero, at about the midway part of the season, reveals that its main plot is about turning all of the different timelines of all the movies into canon. Actually now that I write that, it sounds cool, and it probably sounded cool on paper to Mattson Tomlin (the writer), but I think in execution it was lacking.

I started watching this last night. Something felt really off about the whole movie, the way it looked, the way it was edited, and the actors all seemed like they didn't know what movie they were in. I got about 10-15 minutes in til whatever scene has Cate Blanchett hand to hand fighting with someone and dodging punches and stuff and just turned it off lol.

Turns out the production cast of Acolyte didn't understand what cash was and they were just burning it in a generator to power the lights.

I finished the season last night. Decided to wait a day to let my thoughts on the show settle in before I wrote anything. That article shares a lot of the same sentiments I had about Terminator Zero though, written much better than I would have done it lol.

 

Terminator Zero just came out today. Might be too early for most to have started it yet, though hopefully people will stop by more and more as the week passes.

What are your impressions of the show so far? Things you liked/disliked? What surprised you? Did you feel like there were missed opportunities? Thoughts on the cast/writing/direction/animation?
