I don't believe you're focusing on movies right now, but if it's easy to answer this question at the moment, would you be up for it? I have a question about Terminator vs Terminator 2.

I don't understand why Terminator 1 is thought of more highly by you and Scaruffi than Terminator 2. Long story short, Terminator 2 felt more "deep" to me.


Not really thinking about those right now but the first is a lot grittier, more tense, suspenseful, “horror”. 2nd is good, high quality action but just doesn’t have the same sense of desperation. It also isn’t as original and repeats the first in ways. It does add some themes (Arnold as father figure, as the good guy who also haunts from the first) but these aren’t handled in the most creative way (rather, high quality Hollywood treatment). Still well worth watching and I can understand those who feel it’s better. It’s probably a better spectacle.
