    Die hard T2 fans know, but Robert Patrick deserves more credit for his work in this role. Dude seriously put in the work to make his character seem believable.

    14:23 "By the time they limp into that steel mill… Sarah sees a tool."
    Did uh… did you watch the movie? There's literally a whole Sarah Connor voice-over where she compares the T-800 to a father, and says (and I quote): "Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice."
    She didn't just see a tool. As a matter of fact, the end of her character arc is her realization that the machine learned humanity. "Because if a machine – a terminator – can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too." I mean, it's the summarizing last line of the movie. Who wrote this video?

    Living in such depressingly mediocre times I often realize how miraculous it was how we were able to get all the amazing music, movies, video games and literature from them times 🦾😎👍🔥

    My favourite scene was when the T800 picked up the little toddler and held it up, looking curiously at it 😂 the kids face was like “what the f*** is going on, here?” 😂 the amount of times I did that to my niece, it annoyed my sister so much 😂

    whenever someone at work complains about the network acting up and giving them a bad time, i remind them, "of course it's glitching. skynet is activating."

    In the 80's and 90's movie's warned the world about machines, robots and AI, I don't think we listened, now AI runs everyday of our life's. Cars, Mobile Phones, Kitchen Appliances, Home Appliances soon we will have robots in every house hold around the world and then for our future generations it will be Judgement Day. Don't let AI win. ( The Terminator Movie's are warning us ). ARE YOU READY WORLD.

    Terminator 2: The one with the wrong spelling. It is Judgement, unless in a Legal sense.
    1:04 That is Maths, not Math. Americans still can't speak English properly, it seems.
    4:28 That is NOT editor Richard A Harris, that is the Actor called Richard Harris!
    5:25 Who are these people? None of them were in "The Abyss". Why use shitty AI pictures?
    8:19 That word is Disorientating. Americans claim to speak English, so they should do so properly!
    15:02 He doesn't lower himself into molten steel, Sarah does it…he "cannot self terminate", remember?
    19:05 That is an entirely different chase scene though, how are you making such mistakes?

    After Dark Fate, I'm betting Sarah Connor wishes she didn't lower Uncle Bob into the steel. If Uncle Bob was in Cabo, Dark Fate would have had John Connor in it 😅
