Serious question: why would the T-1000 choose to run in human form? He can form into any solid metal object and he chooses a human form to run??

Human bodies are no where near optimal for running fast. He could have turned into a TARS type object or just stretch his mass out so that he had 4 giant long legs. And could cover 100's of feet with each stride.

We saw him take the form of a flat tile floor so why not form into a ball and roll forward by altering his center of mass around?

Also, He was so close to John in so many scenes and yet he didn't elongate his his metal limbs to just spear him. We see him do it in the milk jug scene so doesn't he just stretch his arm out and stab them when he's hanging onto the back of the vehicle before Arni shotgun blasts his arm off?

Aside from the nitpicking, Terminator 2 is pinnacle of action movie kino. I think that is undisputed.

Funny how all the terminators after the T-1000 have just been better versions of Arnold but none of them are even close to the utility of the T-1000 and it's fucking bullshit Skynet didn't just build thousands of T-1000s and win the war.
>>

>Human bodies are no where near optimal for running fast.

Humans can outrun horses but are held back by stamina, the T-1000 having no such limitations and not having to worry about 4 legs is vastly superior

Why did all the other shit it was wearing morph with it?
Like the uniform it steals, with duty belt, becomes solid and liquid as well on a whim
>>
>>80568686
Wasn't there some extended story bullshit that stated the T-1000's weren't bound by the same programming rules the solid metal series terminators and were more likely to rebel against skynet as a result?
>>
I always thought it was a cool, minor touch how Robert Patrick is right handed, but when the T-1000 kills a left handed officer he just seamlessly changes to using his gun left-handed to work with the setup of the duty belt and holster
>>
>>80568816

He trained himself to do a lot of things for the movies, in fact everyone did extensive weapons training and handling and in addition to studying bald eagles in order to get that "hunting look" he also made sure for the running scenes that he'd never look out of breath or that it took any effort to convey he was a tireless machine

Too bad he couldn't even catch up to a car going in reverse with all that stamina tho. He couldn't even catch the kid in his fuckn moped lol!

>humans can outrun horses but are held back by stamina

Wrong way round, idiot, humans are relatively slow sprinters but can outrun any animal on earth over long distance. This is because we run bipedally, meaning that our legs can operate independently of our diaphragm.
>>
>>80568952
>moped

That's not a moped
>>
From a story standpoint, the T-1000 was a mistake. It's way too powerful and way too versatile to be a protagonist that can be beat.

Near the climactic ending, the T-1000 tortures Sarah to lure John. This is entirely out of character. He should have killed Sarah, taken her place, and called out to John himself, like he did with John's foster mom.
>>
>>80568714

Its the other way around you fucking moron. Humans are built for long distance and have top tier stamina.

Just a friendly reminder TSCC is the most heartbreaking show to have aired since the 2000s, easily tops The Leftovers and L O S T in terms of making you feel

How can you not understand the difference in the two situations? Fucking hell.
>>
>>80569057
He tortured Sarah and so he could get a voice print. He needed to know what she'd sound like before he killed her. A few scenes after, you see him disguised as Sarah. The only thing that gave him away was his feet being all fucked up from the liquid nitrogen and not reshaping properly

Then why couldn't the resistance ever do the same? Coat some guns and some C4 and some packages of rations and medkits or fucking SOMETHING in a layer of fake skin so they aren't sending Kyle Reese or the T-800 back defenseless.

You have to admit, they kind of wrote themselves into a corner with that bullshit. They should have been more clever with it.

The entire point of the plot detail is the Terminator can't bring badass weapons back with him, he IS the weapon. But all the Terminators after have been techno-wizards growing penis guns and shit.
>>
>>80568646
It's an infiltrator. It's literally what it was designed to do.

>>80568929

I really feel Robert Patrick deserves more credit for this, sprinting while looking like it doesn't bother you is hard as fuck.

Yea Cameron is legendary. Arguably top 5 directors of all time. How many genres has this guy shaped with his work. Would be interesting to see what turns blockbuster movie making would have ended up taking without his influence as a factor.

The only movies of his I can respect are Titanic and the first Terminator. Second Terminator is kiddie shit. Aliens takes a concept of a stalking ultimate killing machine and turns it into a drone. Avatar is a 3D polished turd. Not to mention the man is a gianormous hippie with hateboner for military and corporations as can be seen from The Abyss, Avatar and Aliens.

I'm sure Cameron considered it. The reason for the success of his Terminator movies is how relatable everything is, even the outlandish flashbacks to the future. Normies get it immediately. The iconography of a cop chasing our heroes doesn't demand as much suspension of disbelief as if he were to turn into a giant metal spider and started chasing them that way.

My question is, why wasn't the T-1000 more brutal? Liquid knives shredding human flesh from the inside out could be the stuff of nightmares if they made a B-grade horror movie throwback these days and turned the T-1000 into a modern movie monster
>>
>>80568686
You ever heard of grey goo?

Make too many of them, and they multiply

How would a ball propel itself forward? He was able to take the form of a tile because it was there. Maybe there are no jaguars in the future, so it wouldn'r have the info to change into one.
>>
>>80570539

he could just grow little metal hands that pushed itself forward
>>
>>80570562
an unevenly weighted ball wont toll smoothly.
>>
>>80570212
Unsurprisingly, the years the humans won the weather is described as "hot". Humans are a lot better at endurance in hotter conditions than most other animals. Especially ones with fur and no sweat glands.
>>

Apparently horses do have sweat glands.

You never played with those balls that have a bag of sand in them? They were called crazy balls because of they would jerk around when you tired to roll or throw them,
>>
>>80570656
do most people not know this?

I didn't. I have no reason to know anything about horses, they've never been in any part of my life.

>>80571006
He would be able to control the position of the off centered weight tho And keep it going straight.
>>
>>80571596
OK, I get that. But how fast can a ball accelerate like that? Something like a tank tread would be better.
>>

It's widely known that humans are the best animals for running long distances in hot weather. Whether or not the horse has sweat glands doesn't make much of a difference as even with them it still can't compete with humans long distance.
>>
>>80572074
I'm just so sick of retards having to add their 2 cents when they know nothing, no one fucking lurks any more

>>80571265
Most people probably think that every animal has sweat glands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endurance_running_hypothesis

If you're so certain that horses can outrun humans in long-distance in hot weather despite the evolutionary advantages humans have for this you're going to need to provide some evidence.

You should really learn about the subject before you assume you know more than another person.

This. Can't believe I had to scroll down this far b4 anyone used some common sense.

The question is more about what could the T1000 turn into that is the most effective, not necessarily what is best for the movie. You obtuse dingus.
