| Making John a teenager would've weakened Sarah Connor as a character, because they couldn't exactly have a fifteen-year-old's mom fighting his battles for him. Not to mention, they would've almost certainly tried to ram in a romantic subplot, because what movie about a teenage boy doesn't also have a teenage girl? Terminator 2 already had a perfectly servicable love story between a ten-year-old boy and a fucking badass robot, it doesn't get any more romantic than that! Besides, a teenage John Connor would've had to shoot people (or at least beat the shit out of them), whereas the John Connor we got was free to figure things out, make decisions, inspire people, interface with technology - all the things that would one day make him a hero of the resistance - without ever himself acting like an unfeeling killing machine. This Cracked guy just sounds like he's embarassed that people (him) once hung out in arcades and listened to Guns 'n' Roses.
If anything, they should've brought adult Ed Furlong back for Terminator 3. Talk about an unconventional hero! But of course the closest Hollywood can get to "scruffy underdog" is handsome leading man Nick Stahl with a little bit of facial hair. |
