@dracula -

So the resistance beats Skynet, but then Legion (another AI?) comes into power and does the exact same thing Skynet tried to do, only they target a Mexican woman who'll be their John Conner?

If this is true, it's the definition of plot recycling. They're basically just renaming the enemy.

What was said in the spoiler was that humans further developed an AI program and called it LEGION. It launched Judgement day in the 2020's, Grace is sent back from 2042, where the mexican chick is the resistance leader.

The rev9 is sent back to kill her. In the meantime, Sarah has been hunting terminators which have been sent back in time and is given coordinates to their location via GPS texts

So i guess yeah its recycled

@HeavyMetal4Life - Apparently the guy who confirmed the leak on Reddit has a good track record and has done this kind of thing before. He's an industry insider registered with the SAG apparently. He leaked BvS, Justice League and TLJ (after the premiere I might add), along with other films. Now it's possible he is an industry insider who has knowledge about these films, but I don't think he's seen them.

For starters if he really is an industry insider he's an idiot for risking his career to leak a film on the internet and I hope he gets caught.

Secondly most leaks are detailed whereas this one isn't. Those who had seen it never mentioned the ending, who Grace was, who sent her back, why Dani Ramos is so important. Not to mention when asked about these things the guy who confirmed them refused to explain them.

Thirdly anyone can come up with a leak. You just use the trailers, set pics and information about it to come up with a leak that sounds like it could be true. For instance the T-800 is apparently called Carl. But there's a picture of Arnie stood in front of a van with Carl's Draperies on the side of it, so it's easy for the leaker to say he's called Carl because we can't dispute it.

It's why I think the leak is fake. Because these days it's just too easy to come up with a plot that seems credible when there's no detail to it. The less details you have, the easier it is for the leaker to get some stuff right when the film comes out. It vindicates them.

To me the leak is either fake or they've seen a cut that doesn't include the ending. I'm going with the former.

@Vigor - "...have him be a badass alongside his mother." Do you not know how to read?

@shadowspider9 - Personally, the first two films were more Sarah's story, so I don't mind them killing John.

Also, from what I hear, all the reactions to the test screening itself were actually positive, so who knows.

@Vigor - With mixed results, unfortunately.
T3 played John as a broken man traumatized by what happened as a kid. He starts off in a similar shell shocked state as Sarah once she finds out Terminators are real in T1. The problem is he doesn't really grow like Srash did by the end.
T4 had John as a soldier but he was basically a minor character.
