These posts are properly appreciated.
Actually changing things through time travel is different than a retcon. It was more of a Star Trek 2009 move.

I feel I should remind people posting that this was a thread from last year bumped for little to no reason; there hasn't been any new news on whether or not Schwarzenegger would be involved in any theoretical new Terminator title, should one even come to exist.
That said, I don't really have a problem with them continuing to use him in the Terminator role, especially if they use CG to make him look like he did in the T1/T2 era.

They already did that it was called The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Doesn't matter how you call it.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
It didn't retcon anything, it's a different storyline due to time travel. The first two can't happen with Genisys, but that's not because they didn't happen, it's because of changes in the world due to time travel are so different that in that timeline the first two couldn't have occurred. You still need the first movie to start whatever series of event happened to make Genisys possible.
He's to fucking old. Period.
I love arnold. But we can't keep pretending he isn't grandpa Arnie any more. It's ridiculous.
Give me old ass Arnie in old ass man roles. I already have movies with young Arnie.

I'm going to cringe hard enough to throw the world off its axis if he tries to make his Terminator evil again.

Salvation gets bad rep 'round here but seriously it's Lawrence of Arabia compared to the shit show Genisys.
Me and my wife watched Genysis on Hulu the other day, and I actually enjoyed it. It was stupid and absurd, but pretty fun. With most of these long running series reboots/sequels, they won't ever match the magic of the originals, but that doesn't mean they can't be enjoyed for what they are; stupid cash-ins. While I would certainly love to see an entry in a series show some real love and passion for its predecessors (ie, Creed, The Force Awakens), most of the sequels/reboots aren't going to have that.
Genysis wasn't a train wreck piece of garbage. It was just a standard action movie with Terminator pieces slapped onto it. As much as I adore the series (mainly T2, to be honest), I don't personally get offended when a new entry is mediocre. I just hope the next one is better.

haha, yeah. The movie basically starts out by nullifying everything that happened in Terminator 1 and 2, the actually good Terminator movies. It's like "Hey, remember those movies that you been enjoying for decades? What if none of that actually happened, and instead a bunch of b-list actors did a bunch of inconsequential bullshit instead?" Thanks, but no thanks.

MGS3 was the peak of the series though....
"I'll be a hack....eh I mean I'll be back!"
I like Arnold and all, I mean shit his films are highlights of my childhood entertainment, but I just don't care. The last two films were so bad I lost interest.
I want a new Sarah Connor Chronicles. That was sweet. Brooding Lena Heady. Hot-ass Summer Glau strutting around as a terminator. Familial strife all Fox style. I wish we had gotten just one more season of that.

Live Free or Die Hard, Terminator Genisys, and Suicide Squad...
Just looking at those three names side by side is amazing in a way. Dude fucking sucks.
If they're gonna do it they should just reboot the series and keep it simple. One evil Terminator chasing down one or two vulnerable people. Recast everybody, heck, come up with entirely new characters. Leave all the convoluted nonsense behind, tone the comedy way down, and focus on playing hide and seek with a robotic monster.
Nicolas Winding Refn might be a good choice stylistically for director, or somebody like that anyway - plenty of 80's revival fetishists going around who could tap into the atmosphere people associate with the original while updating it successfully.
There's nothing wrong with the core Terminator concept, the problem has been that the movies have increasingly veered into light-hearted action adventure territory, which isn't a genre best served by the Terminator premise.

Then we wouldn't have the amazing 3 and 4 so thank you Kojima.

I find Terminator Salvation boring and it didn't even have lasers. That's one reason I wanna see the future war. Is it that much cheaper to CG in muzzle flashes than lasers?

after putting it off forever i finally saw Genysis and ... it was actually kind of fun. i kind of saw it as a "sub-canon" of the first two movies and not something to be taken super seriously. in that regard it was better than the other sequels
i think they have better luck with that approach rather than keep trying again and again to make an honest to god "T3". but maybe with cameron back on board (in some capacity) maybe things will pan out this time
