Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jun 16, 2020, 05:00:17 AMNOT Director. His last R rated as Director was 32 years ago. He makes huge family movies.
Cameron was very hands on with the story of Terminator: Dark Fate and that was a very R-rated movie.

James Cameron was the driving force behind the story in Dark Fate. All of the big decisions that so many people hated were his.
They had a team of writers, but regardless, if Cameron directed Dark Fate I'm certain it would have been much better than what it is.
But the things that people complained the most about - John's death - was a Cameron mandate. If I'm not mistaken, Carl's development after that was too.
Also, while there are about half a dozen credited writers on Dark Fate (and even more uncredited), more than half of them didn't actually touch Dark Fate's script. Most of them were part of the initial writers room, alongside Cameron and Tim Miller, that broke down the overall arc for the trilogy.

They literally did a CTRL-R with John Connor and Skynet. And that was a terrible way to "get back to what people love" by literally murdering John Connor.
You mean, they ALIEN 3-ed him ?
It so funny that Alien 3 and T3 basically did the same things to Aliens and T2 and now Cameron himself did the same to T2. Hypocrecy 101

It could just end up like Terminator Dark Fate which basically sold itself on the promise of erasing everything after T2 and being a retro sequel to T2.
It didnt make nearly as much money as was hoped despite this and while it was a genuinely ok movie that was better than arguably every Terminator film since T2 it still did not at all stand up in the same league as the original two movies.
