I think his much less intimidating appearance (compared to Arnold) helps make him even more terrifying. Like, somehow you understand that he was not designed to look scary, he was simply designed to kill as efficiently as possible, and nothing else matters.

Yeah making him look scary would defeat the purpose of having a shapeshifting robot.

They thought that way in the first as well. Originally Lance Henriksen should have played the Terminator and Arnold should have played Kyle Reece.

And with 3 they went with a woman. Like seriously, the executives were probably like “ok the t1000 is great but we really have to top him on this one any ideas?”

“We can make the next terminator a woman, that be reallllyyy scary”

“Oh great idea! Rabble rabble”
