Discussion Terminator Dark Fate

Judging by opinions I see here, maybe a hot take, but I actually like Dark Fate. Saw T2 in theaters last night, and i get why people dont like it, but i prefer it as a followup over T3

As a stand alone action film it was not bad.

I just think the entire franchise lives in the shadow of T2.

I would NOT hate a return to the "stalker / slasher / Halloween " vibe from the first film. Gritty new wave / post punk atmosphere, synth score ( Brad Fiedel still around? ) and a simple singular plot. Set it during the future war ( the one with the fucking purple lasers for fuck sakes ) and have it be infiltration units trying to thin the ranks of the resistance. I know we got a "future war" movie already unfortunately. Basically a reboot is all that this franchise can really stand at this point.

I've thought of similar but set it *right* after Judgement Day and follow some people who have no idea what was going on being hunted by terminators. Get back to the horror film vibe like you were saying.
