    That original Terminator 3 script sounded way more interesting than what we got. Love these videos.
  • @SuperiorSuit
    I'm so glad they chose Robert Patrick as the T-1000 I'd argue he's way more terrifying and his performance less human like than Arnold's T800
  • @leewright1
    The tragic irony of O.J. not being seen as a killer. There's a lesson there. Also: now we know where "I must draw you" comes from.
  • @BigDaddyJinx
    That original plan for T3 sounds like something I would've enjoyed. More than what we were actually given.
  • The third movie should’ve just had John becoming the leader and the machine war happening and it looping by sending Kyle back. Paradox trilogy. T1, T2 and a variation of Salvation. Great video. I hope the franchise can come up with a hit in the future.
  • Plot twist: Cameron wasn’t working on Avatar sequels over the last 12 years. He was building a time machine to send a terminator back and take out Gale Anne Heard.
  • @Omar-wq9dz
    Even after all these years, I’ve only ever seen the first 2 movies and the 3D park ride movie. That’s enough for me
  • @bensneb360
    To me, the best Terminator 3 is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles… such an underrated show, great cast, and really interesting exploration of the different factions and the world of terminator
  • Schwarzenegger is probably the most perfect casting ever
  • @l.tc.5032
    The T3 original script honestly sounds great. I get that Cameron was angry but he kinda let his ego get in the way of making a great movie.
  • @giodhuha6771
    This is probably the most longest video you've ever made and i'm proud of that.
  • @TeachReads
    The trilogy of T2 novels (starting with 'T2: Infiltrator') did a pretty good job of continuing the universe.
  • @CorinnaXcool
    Sarah Connor Chronicles was best continuation of T2. I wish it hadn’t been canceled. The overall atmosphere of that show was perfection.
  • @mark-xc7oq
    8:48 it’s actually funny that arnold was happy cameron let him shoot someone in the leg since he wasn’t allowed to kill anyone
  • @tyrannozilla
    Speaking of Terminator: Salvation, I feel that Sam Worthington would've been more convincing as John Connor over Christian Bale. He just had more of the look and charisma that I'd imagine John to have in the future war.
  • @DinoDave150
    In my humble opinion, the best Terminator 3 we ever got was the game Terminator: Resistance. No spoilers, but the way the game ends perfectly wraps up the series and ties T1 and 2 in a perfect knot.
  • @Travelerr
    Actually 4's ending was supposed to be They'd put John's face on Marcus... Who'd then have his eyes go red and kill everyone in the room. Director even said as much. People reacted badly as they should have.
  • @GoranNewsum
    Terminator, the film that didn't need a sequel, but whose sequel managed to surpass the original. And then the other films also happened.
