Bingo.
I have not watched
Terminator: Genysis or
Terminator: Salvation, but I did watch
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and it was pretty much a
T2 remake (the difference was that the evil terminator was shaped like a female). And based on the trailers for the new film, it looks like yet another
T2 remake, but with an evil terminator whose outer shell resembles a Latino man, a Latina stand-in for Linda Hamilton (as seen in the first
Terminator) and a female-stand in for both Arnold and Linda Hamilton as seen in
T2.
ETA: to clarify, I was just stating facts; I most certainly have no problem with Hollywood blockbusters integrating more characters of diverse sexualities, gender identities, ethnicities and national origins into their stories. In fact I WANT MORE of that. I loved
Black Panther and
Wonder Woman is literally my all-time favorite big-budget Hollywood film. Oh, and I enjoyed the Melissa McCarthy/Leslie Jones/Kristen Wiig/Kate McKinnon
Ghostbusters from three years ago as well as
Oceans Eight; I don't mind gender or race-swapped remakes/reimaginings/reboots of established properties at all, as long as they entertain me (and those films all entertained me).
And I look forward to the very first Hollywood superhero blockbuster starring an all-Asian cast,
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
However, I do have a problem with Hollywood franchises regurgitating a story time an again when it is very evident that there is no more story left.
That is the problem with the Terminator franchise; there is no more story to this tale.
Stop making T2 remakes and peddling them as new films.
Just stick a fork in it.
PS: I am still not sure of what the OP meant by LGBT300. This new Terminator film has nothing to do with LGBT characters (human, robotic, or whatever)...
Maybe it was sarcasm, but still doesn't make sense with his complaints.
