I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I really, really appreciate this unpopular opinion, it made me see things in a different light. Unfortunately, the convincing you just did pales in comparison to how good Terminator 2 was. It wasn’t just a cool flick, a sequel, a “time travel movie”, etc, it was something special and it was amazing. But I fully understand and appreciate when time travel in movies doesn’t make 100% sense, because it almost never does …
Personally I appreciate that the first three films all explore different models of time travel, and they kinda work together.
The Terminator is a fixed loop. The past is immutable. You cannot break reality because paradoxes are prevented.
Terminator 2 is a multiverse: you cannot break reality because paradoxes are nonsense. You can change “the past,” but you can’t change your past. You traveled to a different timeline and you’re free to do whatever. This is compatible with the first movie because you’re also free to do things exactly as they happened in your timeline.
Terminator 3 sucks. But it’s also a closed loop. You cannot break reality because paradoxes are impossible. Time travel is an equation balanced by the laws of the universe. Only possible universes can exist. You’re free to do whatever… but it will result in a timeline where all past and future observations are internally consistent. This is compatible with the second movie only because that movie had no Breakfast Club close as originally intended. It’s also what the franchise has stuck with, now that it is apparently a whole-ass franchise.
