Five Reasons Terminator 3 Was Fucking Awful
3) John Connor Was A Girlie Man
As described in the previous films, John Connor was probably the deadliest human who ever lived. Even though he was somewhat of a whiny bitch in Terminator 2, you can start to see the early signs of that in the Eddie Furlong version.
I suppose Connor is supposed to be 20, or something, in this movie, and yet he’s more incompetent than the 10 year old Connor.
At the start of the film, Connor gets outwitted and caged by a vet. Then throughout the rest of the movie is relying on her to save him, as well as relying on another T-850. I would submit that in the Cameron universe, a 20 year old John Connor would be vastly different.
He would not need to be constantly bailed out by a female companion, or a lowly basic Terminator. Both would be subordinate to the real Connor, uninteresting if useful tools. Connor would have had the ‘T-850’ figured out, and wouldn’t have bothered with Catherine Brewster at all.
