A fellow Aliens appreciator, I see! 😅

I'm not even sure I saw it. No cultural footprint at all. Maybe it doesn't even exist.

Yea famously there was this little film called Heat and it had two pretty big time actors and characters in it and theres this scene where these characters finally sit down and talk and do you know what it was ruined because they just GO TOO LONG. At least 4 pages. Very annoying. Amateurish really.

Eventually they'll fill the whole place up, armed to the teeth, and at that point the terminators not even going to be able to find Stripe. But he has to engage and from there its academic. There is no strategy for that.

The more I think about it, the Terminator never had a chance.

Like damn.

What happens if they rush the Terminator with dozen of live electrical cables and zap him? What if they jump on his head and shove that thing in a microwave?

And yeah a T-1000 can splooge into a floor or wall... but man, every second he's not engaging the enemies, that enemy is making more enemies.

Also consider the store itself. There's guns, chainsaws, electrical equipment, explosives... and 100s of gremlins all looking for ways to kill the Terminator and are so unhinged they don't really even care of they die being little whacky death goobers.

All Stripe has to do is go undetected for a while and sneak around until he finds a tap. Boom. Instant infinite gremlin army.

The unhinged army turns the fight into a matter of numbers and looney tunes violence.

Yes a Terminator can smash and stab and stomp a gremlin to death, but if 500 rush him?

Are the hive systematically procreating to sustain a certain birth rate? How do they decide how that works? How does that work?

What global conspiracy theories were true? I feel like ex-X Files writers would have a lot of fun with this.

Hurry up and answer me, show.

Can animals (like the rats) get infected? If so, do the hive want that? Why not?

Do the hive experience death when someone dies? If they do experience death what's it like? Is there an afterlife or some other shared spirituql experience they've observed across 100,000s of deaths so far?

There is no new crime so have all the folks in jail been essentially pardoned and are just walking around - even the previously dangerous ones? Do they interact with their victims? Does it matter?

What happens if a hive member makes a mistake and causes a death? Is there a justice system?

Someday! 😅
