I know that the T-800 is inferior to the T-1000 but it didn't feel like that a lot of the time
T-800 fights the T-1000 head to head in the mall and pretty much wins
They meet again at the hospital and once again the T-800 is able to fend off the T-1000
The only time the T-1000 really beat the shit out of Arnold was at the end and even then Arnold came back and destroyed the T-1000
James Cameron from the link I posted in the earlier post:
“I started thinking about the film in two stages. In the first stage the future sends back a mechanical guy, essentially what The Terminator became, and the good guys send back their warrior. In the end, the mechanical guy is destroyed. But up there in the future, somewhere, they say, well, wait a minute, that didn’t work; what else do we have? And the answer is something terrible, something even they’re afraid of. Something they’ve created that they keep locked up, hidden away in a box, something they’re terrified to unleash because even they don’t know what the consequences will be – they being the machines, now in charge of the future.
“And that thing in the box becomes a total wild card; it could go anywhere, do anything; it’s a polymorphic metal robot that is nothing more than a kind of blob. I saw it as this mercury blob that could form into anything. It’s powers were almost unlimited, and even in the future, they couldn’t control it.
“That scared me. Just sitting there writing the story scared me."
Also interesting I kinda didn't realize that Skynet sent all those Terminators in that same night (of the humans attack) and after I guess waited a tad and nothing had changed (humans still bashing the door in) after sending T-800 the AI said screw it used everything he had so the strange prototype (T-1000) was sent but a tad later to mitigate any damage or wacky ideas the new AI from T-1000 might had developed and maybe make it so that Skynet goes extinct in it's infancy.
James Cameron has produced terrible films
