It’s not that kind of film, kid
It’s <i>always</i> a waste of time to argue with reality.
To be clear, the kid does not ‘walk off with’ anyone, and there is no indication that Alice knows more than Bill about his ordeal.
You need to distinguish between what is in the film, and what you’ve pulled out of your ass.
Well no because T1 and T2 are masterpieces 🤷🏻♂️
Common sense.
Matches? WW2 leaves WW in the dust.
T3 is not canon, and its deleted scenes are even less so.
The Terminator sounds like an Austrian farmer because Cameron cast an Austrian beefcake and thought ‘…fuck it’
WW2 is significantly better. Way more gags played with greater confidence.
Del Preston instantly takes it to the next level, and that’s before we even mention Christopher Fucking Walken, Kevin Pollak’s albino eye, Swedish Drew Barrymore, Handsome Dan and Mr Scream, the legendary dubbed Kung-Fu battle with James Wong, Charlton Heston, Chris Farley, Kim Basinger, The Tool Box, the melon guys ‘Come men, our work here is done’. I’ll stop because there’s too much awesome to mention.
It’s like they gave Myers the keys to the kingdom this time and he ultra-delivered. People are still attached to the original, and it’s charming and funny, but WW2 is a full blown comedy classic no bullshit.
2 is better, by some margin
No Bobbysex
It wouldn’t be that dumb. Skynet was born in America and was sending an infiltration unit to LA, no way would it set The Terminator’s voice to ‘Austrian farmer’.
HCC?
Good effort but… no. The Terminator sounds like an Austrian farmer because Cameron cast an Austrian beefcake and thought ‘…fuck it’
Sure, but we known the Terminator can mimic any voice, so why would it be set to ‘Austrian farmer’ in LA?
Nah, they’re predatory woke journalists who love to cancel and destroy an innocent man. Many of them will be gay themselves.
As others have said, being able to kill at range massively helps the Terminator's mission.
But let’s not forget that you’re nitpicking a film in which an infiltration cyborg sent to LA, which can mimic any voice it hears, chooses to adopt that of an Austrian farmer.
Dr Who is a woke joke in the UK now, nobody’s watching it anymore.
Meh, it works as a character-story device whereby he is called a ‘chicken’ at the very end and this time refuses to rise to the bait, avoiding the car accident that would ruin his life.
I also like MJFox’s delivery of ‘nobaady, calls me chicken’, it’s a good catchphrase for Marty, who didn’t really have one before.
I’m assuming it’s like the old iMDB boards where there is limited space and new threads would knock out older ones.

Thanks, I did that in the post you just replied to 🤷🏻♂️
<blockquote> I'm familiar with this common observation, and I think it raises some interesting questions. But is it really a plot hole?
Who knows? Maybe this was something George and Lorraine talked about in an offscreen conversation - that their son bared a lot of resemblance to someone they once knew (and likely named him after), but probably dismissed it as a mere coincidence. </blockquote>
Utterly absurd defence of what you know is a gaping plot hole in the first film. I don’t have a problem with the plot hole because BTTF films are playful action comedies. The problem is that you’re giving a pass to the plot holes in BTTF and condemning Part II for the same crime. Inconsistency. Hypocrisy.
<blockquote>Whoever said that the first movie didn't have it's dark moments? All I said is that it balanced the light drama and comedy nicely and was serious where necessary.
And if you think my gripe with the sequel is purely its "dark" aspect, then you clearly have not read my reply correctly.</blockquote>
I understood fully, it’s just that you’re wrong in criticising Part II for its light and dark balance while giving BTTF a pass - the extremes of light and dark in II are clearly less extreme than BTTF’s blend of sweet romantic comedy with mother-son incest, incestuous sexual molestation, and the horror of watching your limbs slowly evaporate from existence. Again, inconsistency = criticism invalidated.
BTTF III is alright. It’s just the the Wild West is meh compared to the future, dark present and awesome, inventive postmodern return to the first film’s 1955 adventure. Doc Brown is better as a loner genius, his love story is meh. The action scene with the train is cool though. It’s a 7/10 film.
