Topic	The Terminator 2 "bait and switch"

Machines in the first movie didnt show much in the way of personal skills. Arnold came in more threatening in the first one but I could also believe he knew killing a group in a bar would bring immediate police attention that was unneeded. Punks in the first movie were off alone and he no immediate police threat. Of course the T-1000 opening scene has him "knocking out" a cop with a quick punch to the stomach so he was always fishy. He could put on charm and smile when he could, sure, but that actually makes the effect even better. It shows how utilitarian he is. You can tell behind those smiles and gestures of "thank you" there is zero soul whatsoever. Every other time he has what I described as a scowl. Even the way he moves is very subtly unnatural. Yeah, we all know this movie was amazing. I think it's not just one of the best sequels ever but also the best unnecessary sequel. T1 was a perfect closed loop and didn't even need a sequel, yet T2 delivered regardless. --- "The US is not a single country.
