Did You Know In TERMINATOR: GENISYS…

Director Alan Taylor was extremely upset that the second trailer that was released ended up revealing the big twist that John Connor had become a Terminator that worked for Skynet. Apparently, he had already disapproved of this decision, but the people in the marketing department decided to go ahead with it so they could show that this wasn’t just another reboot of the previous installments.

And that is why I NEVER watch Trailers

[casbot]

*Directors should also make the trailers.*
They can even film extra bits just for the trailer to give a mood for the film … a good example is Guardians of the Galaxy 1, which had a extended police station ID scene done just to introduce the characters to the trailer audience.

Deadpool 2 *[spoiler warning]* even included "fake" footage of X-Force fighting the bad guys and using their super powers, to hide the fact that nearly all of them get killed skydiving.

[casbot]

And the irony is *they killed the box office by doing so.*
People stayed away because once you knew the twist, the film was not as enjoyable and the audience score went down.
I have a friend who avoids every trailer (unless he gets told _by someone he trust_ that it doesn't contain spoilers), and he really enjoyed Gynesis.

They could have easily done a misdirection by showings Matt Smith as the Terminator from the start of the film, and then having only over the shoulder shots of Terminator Connor (and when in 'nano' form), so the viewers would think he was the super Terminator.

It's the same with the final trailer for Batman vs Superman. The first trailer was awesome for setting the mood, but the Party at Lex's trailer gave away that Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman team up against some super critter …

I hope whoever made that marketing decision works in a new field. It was this movie that stopped me watching trailers in general.

The truth is John Connor is just too smart for everybody his parents the terminators he has a habit of turning evil machines into good machines though

[teyvang]

Yea... for me, when I saw that big reveal, I was thinking, nope, don't need to go to watch this in theaters... already know the big twist.

[nightprince]

They probably shouldn't have done that that would have been a really nice twist

[pallyali]

These days watching a trailer is sufficient as it shows the whole movie.

[Terminal-Man]

I am also a big believer that the Director should have control over what scenes make it into the trailer if they’re not just created by the Director himself

[JeffreyNahas]

I remember being so disappointed from the huge spoiler of that trailer...
Since then, I don't watch trailers anymore

[bincherito]

The same thing happened with T2 and the T-800 twist

[JarvisBaileyVA]

And that was a big ass fumble on their part

[warriorgamingyt]

In Terminator Franchise, starts from The Terminator(1984) to terminator genisys, the future portal where terminator comes starts fire(John Conner is alive) but in Terminator Dark Fate(john is dead in the start) it cools like frozen(when Rev-9 came) why?

[James_Original]

I like how
Transformer had Transformium and Terminator had Genisys

[someguyyouknow]

lol it’s like they didn’t learn from salvation

[JJFighter]

Even the marketing department didn't take this movie seriously

[NotceDragon]

They did the same thing to terminator salvation before that came out.

[pancakes]

T1 and T2 set John up as the hero of humanity. I don’t mind stories that follow other characters, but changing John’s character by making him the villain or killing him off is such a slap in the face to fans of the original movies. Revealing this in the movie was really the least of their concern. Putting it in the movie at all was their first mistake.

[jeniferdiamond]

The biggest mistake was trying to run the same story over and over instead of moving it forword.

[libirdinowski]

They could’ve made a blockbuster with another sequel but the marketing definitely screwed up big time
