I like the value that's connecting into the forearms. Pretty cool and creative.

You know Collector does make a point.

Maybe bad artists have confidence because they've accepted their "sucky" artwork. But they enjoy it, and if someone else does too, all the better. Meanwhile professional or similarly aspiring artists are always second guessing themselves and only need a single negative comment to topple their house of cards.

Or they build up a thick layer of skin to protect from the barbs, and inevitably wind up becoming somewhat like the jerks they've been fighting against.

After reading that, I know how he feels. I really do. Knowing your work doesn't measure up to professional or talented people. Oh GOD DO I KNOW HOW HE FEELS.

Never really got a chance to see his comic, wish I had now.

Oddly enough, Summer Glau's portrayal of a Terminatrix (ostensibly an earlier model than the T-X seen in Rise of the Machines) is more convincing than Headey's portrayal of Connor, although her character seems far more similar to Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek than the aforementioned T-X.

But to be fair, the show hasn't truly jumped the shark yet. The retcon wherein we discover that there are perhaps hundreds of Terminators and Resistance fighters in the current time can be explained away by positing that Reese's line from the original film — "It's just him… and me." came from the first Resistance fighter to come back, and that plans changed when the Resistance in 2029 discovered that Skynet had sent a few hundred Terminators through. The storyline changes from the films to the series are actually remarkably well-handled.

Where the show is going to well and truly jump the shark — and mark my words, the moment the writers pull this card, even my tolerance will be exceeded — will be when it's revealed that Summer Glau's Terminatrix has fallen in love with John. lol

Actually that wouldnt be too far out of line with the other 2 terminator movies, particularly the 3rd with how he seems to develop freedom of choice.

Of course, keeping in line with those movies, it'd probably be like moments before she's dramatically blown apart on the last episode, sacrificing herself or something.

It's actually rather depressing.

Cripes! The moment I saw that picture was the equivilent effect of someone walking into your hosue and kicking me in the mouth.

Gotta show that to my friends and see how they react. Thx for sharing.

If not the Terminator… a movie that gave a reason for muscle in a movie… cannot be expected to promote a femuscular character, not even a female terminator (sorry Summer), then you can forget about She Hulk, or whatever strength based  amazon that's out there.

Well, a She Hulk movie is probably the place where that hope would be highest, but I'd be more worried about them making a She Hulk movie actually work,which is alot less likely. And then more important than a buffed female, there's the worry of finding a sufficiently buffed female who can *act*….

Oh wait, I'm forgetting… CGI to da rescue! Making anything possible. Least that's one thing in our court now.

I guess my response to your question would be, since most of the girls in the stories acheive their size by other than natural means, then it really doesn't matter.

*rimshot!*

But that aside, I probably wouldn't. Smoking is okay, but stuff like real world addictive drugs (besides smoking) can break the fantasy, depending on how your world is based in your writing. If anything I'd make up a fake drug of similar effect if I wanted to write a story about that.

– I'm also saddened by the computer-effect era of twig girls beating big guys – possible it may be, but realistic or desireable?  Hardly.  As the feminist group said, it sends-out the message to women that the fantasy of them defending themselves from guys is OK, but you'd better not get buff enough to do it in real life, because women are supposed to be small, weak and dependant on men for their protection. 

YUCK!!! 🙁 >:( >:( >:( >:(

Ouch… major contradiction alert.

Mostly agreed with albiet everything Collector said. Its really no big deal.

You know, I never noticed Hamilton being buffed in the 2nd movie either, though I always sorted figured she may have been when I saw her doing pullups in the asylum.

Come to think of it, Sarah Connor's probably one of my favorite characters. Female, whups ass, but with none of the Mary Sue-ism most female characters wind up getting.
