He's a ****ing unstoppable killer cyborg from the future and he's doing lame "fish out of water" bits like he's Balki from Perfect Strangers.

Oh, and they also manage to give him this candyass last line:

"Now I know why you cry"

And then sinks himself into molten slag as John "Badass Future Saviour of Humanity" screeches and blubbers like a bitch.

The only time the T 800 should use a line like that is if he's just shoved a canister of teargas in someone's ass.


Anyway, it sucked. But people were too stupid to realize how bad the cheesy comedy elements were until the third movie. Guess what dumbasses? It's the same type of shit you loved in the last movie.

P.S. Robert Patrick was cool and I loved the nuking scene with Sarah Conner clinging to the chain link fence.

They introduced a 12 year old John Connor; levity in such a situation makes sense. Notice we really only got comedic bits out of the T-800s interactions with the kid.

He was hardly a joke anyway. His intro in the bar was ****ing awesome, showing up to save John in the mall (with the shotgun in the flower box) was ****ing awesome, the freeway motorcycle rescue scene was ****ing awesome, “come with me if you want to live” was ****ing awesome, neutralizing the entire SWAT and police force at Cyberdyne with 0 human casualties was ****ing awesome. He legit jumped from the pickup truck onto the hood of the tanker and just unloaded a clip into the windshield at the T-1000, then ripped the steering wheel causing it to crash.

That movie was great and the T-800 was a ****ing baller. You’ve just got some unjustified hate boner.
