      I liked T1 more than 2 for some reason. The scenes were more memorable and interesting to me

      T2 is legitimately better on nearly every front

      I don’t see that. T2 is slower, the plot is the same just with additional bells and whistles. It was just “May I have the same dish again?”. It isn’t bad per se, just… unnecessary.

        T1 we get man vs unstoppable killing machine.

        T2 we get man (and much more stoppable killing machine) vs unstoppable killing machine and have to grapple with the idea of using weapons expressly intended to wipe out the human race against the threats that will wipe out the human race.

        I won’t pretend like most sequels aren’t “would you like some more of that?” but we can all agree that if you checked into a hotel and T2 was on the TV, you’d leave it running instead of channel surfing.

        You are right. T1 would’ve been what T2 was if it had T2’s budget and backing. T1 was so good that is started the hype train and we got T2 for it.

        They’re both excellent, but T2 got the attention the idea deserved from the beginning and they made the most of it.
