Mackenzie Davis is not a believable action star


I really couldn't take her seriously in this, her frame is just weird and she looks awkward doing action stuff.

She's long and lean!

Looks too frail.

Maybe this is pie-in-the-sky thinking, but I wonder how Kristanna Loken would've fared in that role? Would it have felt like too much of a rehash of T2, in which the antagonistic cyborg (in this case, the T-800) from the prior movie, was this time, one of the "good guys"?

interesting idea, but i guess that movie was erased

Maybe it's something superficial like the short hair, square face and flat chest.

yeah but Arnie had all of those things and he was an action star : )

Think it's one of those things that don't quite translate to women very well which is a problem with woke movies and TV shows some of them feel like women playing generic male types that feels awkward and clunky.

You're OK with Natalia Reyes being a military leader?

reply

lol, both of them sucked. Really.

The illegal immigrant saving the world from nearly-invincible nano-machine Terminators made ZERO sense. She somehow saved a young Lesbian Mackenzie by punching a few bandits in the face? WTF?

Nothing about the lesbian duo seemed believable or remotely engaging. If the illegal immigrant was autistic with a keen sense of computer hacking or strategic command, maybe you could believe she could put some tactical strategy together to thwart the invincible Rev-9 Terminators, but somehow being a tough, illegal immigrant seemed to be her only trait, which made no sense at all in the grand scope of things.

She was my new favourite actress from it. I imagined being her and that was a World controller named Chamb-boy who could be a girl. It was a fun reading.

She's kinda tricking her two female sidekicks who are on the ugly human side. They use her power core to jam into the terminator to make it feel her beauty. I could've been the terminator too although I don't know if it's John Connor re-incarnated....
