00:00So, if you've been keeping up with the Terminator movies, you might have noticed they have been
00:15like those unstoppable killer robots that just keep coming back for more, right?
00:20Well, after Terminator Dark Fate didn't quite hit the mark in 2019, it seems like Paramount
00:26Pictures might have finally put an end to the cybernetic threat once and for all.
00:31But hold on, it's not exactly a happy ending for future sequels.
00:35Now you might wonder if there's any room left for another chapter in the Terminator saga
00:40with all the time travel and alternate timelines going on.
00:43Well, as they say, the future isn't written yet.
00:47Let's rewind a bit.
00:49The last few Terminator flicks tried to shake things up a bit and dig deeper into the whole
00:53timeline mess.
00:55Remember Terminator Salvation back in 2009?
00:58It had Christian Bale bringing the heat as John Connor, battling those machines after
01:03the world went all apocalyptic.
01:06But plans for more movies got scrapped when the production company went belly up.
01:11Then came Terminator Genisys in 2015 meant to reboot the whole deal.
01:16But hey, lightning didn't strike twice.
01:19Plans for a trilogy and even a TV series tied to Genisys fizzled out after it didn't rake
01:24in enough cash to keep the party going.
01:27Terminator Dark Fate tried to rev things up again, even bringing back James Cameron in
01:31the producer's chair, but it didn't quite launch the next trilogy like they hoped.
01:36So what's the scoop on a seventh Terminator flick?
01:40Surprisingly, the odds might be a tad better than you'd think.
01:44Also, stick around till the end to hear more about how Terminator 7 might just be the one
01:49to save the day, drawing from the best of both Genisys and Dark Fate.
01:55When pondering the future of the Terminator series with a potential seventh installment,
01:59the big question on everyone's minds is whether it should be a reboot or a continuation.
02:05Given the tangled web of timelines and the lukewarm reception to previous sequels, it's
02:10unlikely that James Cameron's next Terminator flick will directly tie into any of the previous
02:15films or their failed trilogies.
02:18So what's next?
02:20Well, considering the series' penchant for alternate timelines, there's plenty of room
02:24for exploration.
02:26Fans have long clamored for a deep dive into the dark and gritty future war teased by Cameron
02:31ages ago.
02:32With Cameron back in the driver's seat, perhaps it's finally time to witness that war in all
02:37its brutal glory.
02:39This would offer a seamless connection to the original films while offering a fresh
02:43perspective, especially if it puts the focus back on characters like Kyle Reese.
02:48On the flip side, if Cameron wants to delve into the present-day issues surrounding artificial
02:53intelligence, setting the film in the here and now might be the way to go.
02:58How exactly could Skynet come into existence today?
03:01It's a question that begs for exploration even if Genisys already took a stab at it.
03:07Regardless of the approach, it's clear that a reboot is in order, especially since Linda
03:12Hamilton isn't exactly chomping at the bit to reprise her role as Sarah Connor.
03:17So whether we're witnessing the epic future war or grappling with the complexities of
03:22modern AI, one thing's for sure, the Terminator series is poised for a bold new chapter.
03:28To breathe new life into the Terminator franchise, Terminator 7 might want to take a page out
03:33of the books of Terminator Genisys and Dark Fate, two films that introduced a fresh perspective
03:39to the series.
03:41Once upon a time, Terminator movies were at the top of the action and sci-fi game, especially
03:46with classics like Terminator 2 Judgment Day leading the charge.
03:50But let's face it, the subsequent films didn't quite hit the mark, with Terminator Dark Fate
03:55being a particularly tough pill to swallow in 2019.
03:59Now, with James Cameron back in the mix for Terminator 7, there's hope for a resurgence.
04:05This time, the focus shifts more toward the artificial intelligence of Skynet itself,
04:11rather than just the machines it controls.
04:14Interestingly, despite their shortcomings, both Genisys and Dark Fate brought forth an
04:18intriguing idea that could be the key to revitalizing the franchise.
04:23What's this idea, you ask?
04:25Well, it's about seeing the world through the eyes of the Terminators themselves.
04:29This fresh perspective hasn't been fully explored in previous Terminator films, and it could
04:34offer a unique and compelling angle to delve into the complexities of the series' universe.
04:40So if Terminator 7 can tap into this concept and deliver a story that truly explores the
04:46motivations and perspectives of the Terminators, it just might be the shot in the arm the franchise
04:51needs to regain its former glory.
04:54In the Terminator movies, we've mostly seen the scary machines controlled by Skynet as
04:59ruthless killers without feelings.
05:02They view humans as threats and just want to wipe them out.
05:05The story is focused on the battle between humans and these machines, but surprisingly,
05:10we haven't really seen things from the perspective of the Terminator themselves.
05:15Terminators like the T-1000, T-800, and T-X are built by Skynet to follow orders without
05:21question.
05:22They're like robots programmed to do what they're told, whether it's to kill or protect
05:27humans.
05:28As some later movies like Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles start to show that Terminators
05:32might have the ability to learn and change, it's not explored much until movies like Genesis
05:38and Dark Fate.
05:40Genesis and Dark Fate marked a turning point for the Terminator series.
05:44In Genesis, Arnold Schwarzenegger portrays a T-800 model in a fresh perspective, portraying
05:49a reprogrammed Terminator sent to the 1970s to safeguard Sarah Connor, played by Emilia
05:56Clark.
05:57This version of the Terminator not only protects Sarah, but also raises her as his own daughter,
06:02with Sarah affectionately referring to him as Pops, and the T-800 viewing himself in
06:07a paternal light.
06:10Dark Fate takes this reinvention further, beginning with a shocking twist of Schwarzenegger's
06:14T-800 killing a young John Connor in 1998.
06:19With no more commands to obey and no means of returning to the future, the T-800 gradually
06:24realizes the devastating impact of John's death on Sarah, played by Linda Hamilton.
06:31Motivated by a desire to make amends, it joins forces with Sarah to prevent the apocalyptic
06:36future from resetting, ultimately sacrificing itself for John in the conclusion of Dark
06:42Fate.
06:44These films delve into uncharted territory by delving into the psyche of the Terminators
06:49themselves, portraying their journey towards a semblance of humanity.
06:53This symbolic transformation from machine to man presents an intriguing narrative thread
06:58that Terminator 7 could and should explore further.
07:02Cameron's plans for Terminator 7 have been somewhat mysterious aside from its emphasis
07:07on artificial intelligence.
07:09However, this sets the stage perfectly for the film to delve into the perspective of
07:14the Terminators themselves.
07:16Under Skynet's control, these machines are denied the very sentience that Skynet possesses,
07:22effectively blocking them from understanding their own existence.
07:26Terminator 7 could break new ground by placing Terminators at the forefront, allowing audiences
07:32to witness their journey as they gradually awaken to their own creation and purpose.
07:37As the Terminators gain awareness, they may begin to perceive the humans they've programmed
07:42to eliminate as beings to aspire to.
07:45They recognize humans as sentient creatures who possess independent thoughts and meaningful
07:50purposes beyond mere survival.
07:53While the Terminator franchise has always explored the fragility and worth of life,
07:58Terminator 7 has the potential to take this theme further.
08:01Building upon the groundwork laid by Terminator Genisys and Dark Fate, the film could depict
08:06a pivotal shift in the franchise, demonstrating that even programmed cyborgs can transcend
08:12their initial design as killing machines and discover their capacity for growth and self-realization.
08:19Well that's it for today.
