Arnold Schwarzenegger had some seriously intense plans for Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but James Cameron shot them down without hesitating.

James Cameron was not happy with Arnold Schwarzenegger's plans for Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Following the original 1984 Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day introduces a clever twist by turning Schwarzenegger's T-800 Terminator into a hero. As the deadly T-1000 enters the picture, the T-800 needs to find a way to protect Sarah Conner , even despite trying to kill her throughout the original Terminator.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “The reason why it became a big hit was, number one, Jim Cameron. Jim Cameron is a genius writer. He came up with this brilliant idea, even though at the beginning I was suspicious. He said ‘I want to make you a good Terminator.' I said ‘What do you mean a good Terminator?’ I was killing 68 people in the first one. In the second one I have to kill 150.

Why Cameron's Plans For Terminator 2 Worked So Well While Schwarzenegger originally hated the good Terminator twist, the idea of the T-800 being a hero was a brilliant move. It turns the original Terminator completely on its head and offers even the T-800 a chance for redemption. Terminator 2: Judgment Day adds depth to a robotic and somewhat mundane murderous machine, and it also helps to provide the Terminator franchise with another longstanding protagonist.
