The question you should be asking is why has no one made a Dino Riders movie?

No more remakes.
Hollywood needs to come up with new stories.

There are only 7 real stories in broad times. But they need new settings and characters to tell those stories. Instead of what they consider "Marketable" properties.

At this point we are well past the “fool me once fool me twice” phase when it comes to Terminator movies.

It's budget, production values, and era are literally what make the film so amazing lol.
I struggle to think of a single film I'd want to see remade less than The Terminator.

It is always personal with me. And don't you forget it.
It's not. Unless you're serious...

Because the remakes of Robocop, Total Recall, Red Dawn, Point Break, Conan the Barbarian, Oldboy, Psycho, etc, were all so successful.

I’ve been spending the last five minutes thinking of all the possible implementations of DEI in the Terminator duology, and the amount of possibilities I conceived in such a short time tells me I’ve been spending way too much time on the internet.

They are
Starring the fucking rock
So it's gonna suck
Because of people like you thinking it even needs a remake, we get more and more dumpster fire remakes

If anything I'd remake Prometheus and Covenant and remove all traces of that ridiculous storyline of some gender neutral android making the fucking Alien species

SJRB is right. They kind of did remake T1 and T2, in the way that The Force Awakens was A New Hope's remake.
Ya know what I'd like to see? More updates to special effects for movies without remaking them completely. Terminator and Aliens are fantastic, but the stop-motion endoskeleton in T1 and the dropship flying in Aliens could do with a coat of paint. But they'd have to show restraint and only do it for the egregious stuff that takes you out of it.

They Live could be remade as a documentary nowdaysSeriously though I could go with a
B[ooooooooooooo!
Those effects, good or bad, are part of the charm of these films and often represent Oscar level efforts from SFX teams with LEGENDARY talent.
If any films need reworking, it's all the shit CGI from the 90s. God damn that stuff was TERRIBLE.
Otherwise the only alterations I generally support is getting rid of an airplane in the background, a boom mike in frame, or a pair of sunglasses on an extra. But those things are also part of the charm of filmmaking.

Give me this over vomit inducing CGI any day of the week....Perfectly reasonable but I DISAGREE
A handful of directors know how to use CG in a natural, experience enhancing way. But most films these days use CG as a lazy crutch and it is sloppy, distracting, and ruins performances because the actors are standing around in a green room acting at ping pong balls on sticks. Then the entire third act is just a CG video game. I hate it.
Just think how badly this scene would play out if done today and without Cameron.....

Uh oh...I think I'm sliding into the video game remake debate but with movies.Give me this over vomit inducing CGI any day of the week....

I'm not saying to make the originals unavailable (like Lucas did with the OG Star Wars Trilogy). I'm saying for me, as a more recent/modern audience member watching, those two examples (T1 endo and Aliens dropship) took me out of the experience a bit, whereas just about everything else held up well.
I agree, the Power Loader is dope. I wouldn't change that. Hence calling out the restraint necessary to not overdo it.
