The franchise was finished like three misbegotten T2-sequels ago. It might have stood a chance if they'd ever actually picked a canon T2-sequel, stuck with it, and continued forward from there, but instead they keep trying to chase perfection and, predictably, never achieve it.

That said, let's not kid ourselves. T:DF is incel-bait, and the incels took that bait hook, line, and sinker. The entire brouhaha ocer the movie is nothing but pure incel BS, and this was probably the intent of the filmmakers. Problem is, you can't actually sustain a movie's marketing on pissing off incels alone: it won't kill interest in a big film, but neither will it hype up a film that wasn't generating buzz on its own merits. And as results go, that probaly won't please anybody: it deprives the incels of their power fantasies and their persecution complex, but it does the same to their opposition.

People just weren't asking for yet another T3. John Connor wouldn't have saved this film either; people are not "loyal" like that. The fans are just burnt out.

I disagree. Had they made John the main character and brought back Edward Furlong, I would have gone to see it. That would have been cool to see the original John Connor back.

But after seeing that trailer, no thanks.
