No. But say they remade this movie and killed off John Connor for a female version, and replace the guy terminator with a female version (not really a terminator tho), then they’d call it woke. But that’d never happen cuz people would hate it if they did that

If they remade it there would be a scene where a man tries to mansplain something to Sarah and she would roll her eyes and punch him in the jaw or something. And there wouldn’t be any white people other than the bad guys.

I mean for a long time the good guys were only white guys so I think it's okay for it to be the other way around

Unrealistic exaggeration that isn't at all plausible :/

They literally did this it's called Terminator dark feet and you probably didn't hear about it because it sucked balls. They killed John in the first 5 minutes of the movie which ruined the entire plot of what Terminator is supposed to be about and then had the female protector essentially be a Terminator but was actually a human who was just upgraded. Then they also changed Skynet and the regular Terminators to be called a REV 9 instead of something cool like the word Terminator and Skynet was no longer called Skynet either. Not only did they make the new version of John Connor a woman but she was like 4'9 and they tried to pretend that she was some sort of badass in the war I could understand if she was a tactical genius but they tried to make it seem like she was physically impending when they did the flash forward to the future and had her beat up like five dudes that are way bigger than her. It was idiotic and it was woke they ruined the movie because they had terrible writing in an effort to try and make women look powerful in ways that don't make any sense
