That's a great analogy. The scene where Reese gets the drop on the Terminator in the dance club with his sawed-off shotgun is an iconic scene. By the way I had thing for Sarah Conner back in the day. Hahaha.
The original Terminator was so awesome...but then they gave Linda Hamilton a cock in the sequel. Sad! She was so wonderfully feminine in the original, seeking the guidance of her patriarchal protector in Kyle Reese. Even though Reese's "I traveled back in time to get laid" shtick was pretty beta, the movie was still great.
Terminator 2 set the table for all future, action films: Million-dollar CGI, accompanied by a masculine heroine with zero maternal instinct. That shit destroyed our culture. Since then, I've seen a million Linda Hamiltons: i.e. a cold single mother that does kickboxing on the weekends. And social media came along just in time for these trollops...they were able to get 100 likes from their fat frenemies by "checking in" at a jujitsu class or a UFC training facility.
On the bright side, their inability to pair bond has been a continual source of entertainment.
