Super Saiyan among Super Saiyans

For example, when it comes to the Terminator series: I would end it with Terminator II. It has the perfect ending to the series. When Kyle Reese tells Sarah, "There is no fate but what we make", the end of Terminator I makes this advice seem hollow. Despite her efforts to survive with Kyle, the future was exactly the same: the same photo of Sarah Connor, the same impending war. It appeared that the future was set in stone. However, in Terminator II, the hope of saving humanity from the future empowered John Connor and Sarah Connor to stop Judgment Day. Arnold even sacrifices himself to ensure that companies like Cyberdyne would not jeopardize the future. Hope proved fatalism false: "There is no fate but what we make." Then Terminator III and beyond ruin this. Not to mention, Terminator II was the last James Cameron movie. What about you? Where would you end a movie series if you could and why? |

I would end the Indiana Jones movies after The Last Crusade. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was only just meh and unnecessary, and trilogy's are good. |

I think one is enough. Unless it's a trilogy, of course.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?! Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power. | |

Terminator 2 - already said. Jaws 2 - There was really no need to continue. Hell, even this one could've been denied and we'd have a solo classic. Robocop - ^ Friday the 13th Part 8 - Final Friday sucked hard taint. It destroyed Jason and was filled with nothing but crap. Crystal Lake didn't look the same, the characters were under-developed and who the f*** was Crayton Duke? Ugh. Nightmare On Elm Street 3 - We got to see the Nancy character from the original again and that was good. That story was tied up, Freddy was dead. There wasn't really a storyline reason to go past this point. I did really like the 4th though. Halloween 4 - 5 was okay but it didn't follow what the 4th had set up, so why even bother? It was a big step down in quality, which is explained by how rushed it was. Spy Kids 3 - I didn't see the 4th but I know it's a huge step down. Starship Troopers 1 - 2nd was okay IMHO, but the 3rd is dreadful. Somehow the 4th is really good so I wish I could keep that one and just eliminate the 2nd and 3rd. Anaconda 1 - The sequels were all incoherent and independent of each other and weren't good. The Expendables 2 - 3rd was cocks and balls, plus painfully boring. It didn't even stick to its own storyline of the new generation taking over because the new generation ended up getting its a*** kicked and needed the old guys to rescue it. Batman Forever - The 4th was far too kid-friendly. It was embarrassing. The Mummy Returns - The 3rd wasn't connected to the first two and was seemingly random. Aliens - I think we all know how the series faltered after this one. I don't think we need to include the imbecilic AVP entries. Die Hard 3 - This tied up everything nicely with McClain and the Gruber family. Why continue and give us PG-13 dookie like LFODH? Return of the Jedi - It was nice to see how the past unfolded, but at the same time it didn't really do anything but ruin an iconic villain. |

I think that timeline should have ended with II but...the movie doesn't resolve that the other timeline should be messed up still it's doubtful time works like that. So they could have had Terminator Salvation but better, wouldn't have to deal with John being killed as said in the third movie(though he could die at some point) That would have been great, resolute endings for both timelines where I guess humanity wins. Or maybe the Terminators win and they expand the universe in to featuring Predators and Xenomorphs! A whole new quadrilogy awa- wait that's not the point. I would end Fast and Furious with 2, no reason to keep them going Dom and co were hardly going to stop being criminals so why bother making more? There's no way they're redeemable. Stop at 2 and use the action ideas for another series. What was about street racing became about terrorism or some s*** for no reason... Oh god Die Hard is awful. Predator 2 felt pointless, completely pointless it's like the whole movie exists for that "I'm too old for this s***" line. Halloween should have stopped at 4, or 3. The actual 3 shouldn't exist as it has NOTHING to do with Michael Myers, lol. It's actually not that bad a movie but it doesn't fit as part of the franchise. |
