Terminator: Dark Fate eases the pain of the sequels by killing John Connor. 1 / 8

John's gunned down by a T-800 in this film's opening action sequence. 2 / 8

Previously, John was shaped as a Resistance leader in Terminator: Rise of the Machines. 3 / 8

We saw him leading the revolution in the future in Terminator: Salvation. 4 / 8

Plus Terminator: Genisys then had him a corrupt being helping the machines. 5 / 8

This kill frees the franchise from relying on him as its anchor since T2. 6 / 8

This got boring, repetitive and also wasted Sarah Connor's potential. 7 / 8

Now, we have a future with new Resistance leaders and hunters like Sarah rising up. 8 / 8
