these piece of shit films have been happening for decades
>people still make father/daughter figure protection stories after Lolita was written
>>83558346
It's fairly intrinsic to human life. Father = masculine and self-sacrificial. Sorry you don't have kids, anon.
>>83558346

>>83558632
Now that's more like it.
>>83558860
he obviously meant terminator 2
>>83558948
Did he say Terminator 2? Didn't think so bud
It's touching when it's a Dad and son, but now it's almost invariably a father and daughter, which just seems like an extension of the hipster meme "I'm so excited to raise a daughter, I HOPE my kids a girl. Fuck men. I'm gonna play baseball with her and raise a TOMBOY
>>83559002
nobody gives a shit about any terminator but 2. When they say "terminator" they mean T2
>>83559089
>when someone says one movie they mean another
Are you retarded?

>what are archetypes
lmaoing at your life rn
>>83559260
> identifying basic tropes as basic tropes means they're okay
>>83559286
Try reading a book and learning the difference between a cliche, archetype, and a le "trope".
Name a movie that does this
>>83559053
A bit cringe but this is true.
Father/son >>> mother/daughter > mother/son > father/daughter.
Only niggers and (other) men raised by single moms will disagree.
us there a movie where the child sacrifices itself for the gruff old man instead?
>>83559805
Midnight Special? Maybe.
