When will people realise the Terminator story never has been about Sarah Connor? It was always the story of John and always will be.

I've been reading comments from people on various sites where they say that Terminator was always Sarah's story. I personally disagree and this is why...

1. There is obviously some sort of conscious or subconscious reference to Jesus Christ in the first two Terminator movies. Both John and Jesus, whose initials are both "J.C" were conceived in a mysterious/unexplainable/irrational manner. Both JC's were public enemies, one being the Roman Empire and one being SkyNet.

2. Another biblical reference is the prophecy of both these men. One being prophesized to bring peace and love and die for the sins of mankind (my religious teachings are a bit dusty but it's something to this degree) and one being prophesized to rescue humanity from complete extinction and defeat at the hands of the machines. In Salvation, in the intro, it blatantly states that some viewed Connor as a fraud and some a prophet as he was able to predict what would eventually happen.

3. In Terminator 1, Sarah Connor is just like Mother Mary - the innocent/virgin like lady who gives birth to possibly the most important man in history. But who is more important? The woman who gives birth to the important man or the important man himself? Who do we recognize more in culture; Mother Mary or Jesus Christ?
Off course without Mary there could be no Jesus, just as there could be no John without Sarah. However, Sarah, in my opinion was temporarily important. She was important before she conceived John, as depicted by the T800 relentlessly trying to kill her. However, she was never going to be the one who led humanity to war against the machines. John, although never shown in Terminator 1, was very important. His story was told through Kyle Reese and we got an understanding of just how important he would become. Sarah only had to live long enough for her son to be born. Her son just had to live.

4. In Terminator 2, Sarah is IRRELEVANT. In fact, the T1000 doesn't even care about Sarah until he realises that impersonating her would be a tactical advantage all in an effort to kill JOHN. Terminator 2 was all about John; a T800 being sent back to protect him and a T1000 being sent back to kill him. Sarah involved herself between the T1000 and it's target; this is why the T1000 is often seen trying to kill her (for example, the helicopter and SWAT truck chase etc)

5. Tim Miller should be heavily ignored. If I recall correctly, the idiot has stated that Terminator is all about Sarah - that's nonsense as i have just given four reasons why it isn't all about her. She is just half of the same coin as John at most. It was always about John Connor and it always will be. The only reason Hamilton was brought back in TDF wasn't because it is "Sarah's story" (which actually ended arguably at the end of T1 definitively), but because they needed her back to get the nostalgia driven fans into the cinema seats. "Ooooh Linda is back! Arnold is back! Furlong is back! Shit! It's just like T2!!!!!"

If anything else pops in my mind about how Terminator has never been about Sarah, I will add a numeric point!

Thanks for reading.
