I was so stoked for Salvation but man, talk about a dropped ball with that concept.

Even with Cameron in the room for Dark Fate, he couldn't cook up the special sauce again.
I doubt he had much influence.
James Cameron is not a half-ass, collaborate on someone's project kind of guy.
He whole-asses his own project - and he always delivers. Never bet against The Cameron.
But yeah, I don't think he really cared all that much to have significant input on a film he's not directing.
I just wish Cameron would give the same special attention that he does to Avatar to his Terminator franchise.
So many different things you could do with the property and those characters.
My big problem is that everything the Terminator movies do now is basically rehashing the first two films and trying to recreate the magic that Cameron made and catch lightning in a bottle again. Cameron made something perfect and everyone loves it but they are just desperately trying to COPY what he did, and it's impossible.
An HBO style Future War series could be cool...
As much as I love T2 the first Terminator will always remain my favorite film in the franchise. I've always loved the gritty, small scale, horror vibe which is something they've never been able to replicate in the sequels.
Arnold as a stone-cold villain makes that movie even more iconic IMO.

So now both Cameron and Arnold himself have said the franchise needs to move beyond him. Didn't think we'd get to that point, honestly.

Am I the only one that actually enjoys Salvation?
