After this year’s atrocity, that kick in the balls known as Terminator: Genisys, you would have thought that he negative backlash – apart from a few ultra fanboys – would have opened their eyes to how badly they have pissed people off. Well David Ellison is not only unashamed that he pissed in the soup, if he has his way, he’s going to shit in it too. The man has come clean, if he gets to expand the series (he won’t), he wants it to go the ‘Marvel’ route.
On purchasing the rights to Terminator, he would go on to reveal his ambitions.
“We want to be Marvel. Yes, we know that’s a lofty ambition. We understand that Terminator is a worldwide franchise, and we are hopeful that the fans are still as passionate about it as we are.”
Can you believe the bald-faced corporate speak condescension in that sentence? They want to take the Terminator, a killing machine from a 1980’s sci-fi horror movie, and turn him into Iron Man, to wring every last dime out of it. And worse, certain websites and fanboys are gunning for this disgrace. Not us! Fuck that.
Elsewhere, Christian Bale was available for comment, with regards to a possible return.
