Every person I have spoke to agrees that the T-800 holding up his thumb as he dies is perfect.

Not enough people read the EU.

EVERY PERSON YOU’VE EVER SPOKEN TO? Holy shit. Do you include that in your “Get to know you” conversations? “Hi, I’m LuckyGungan. Tell me right now, in T2 Judgment Day, when Arnold gives a thumbs up as he kills himself, WASN’T THAT JUST FUCKING PERFECT?”

Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.

It is. You are very right.

Army of Darkness: The Medieval Deadit | The Terminator - Color Regrade | The Wrong Trousers - Audio Preservation
SONIC RACES THROUGH THE GREEN FIELDS.
THE SUN RACES THROUGH A BLUE SKY FILLED WITH WHITE CLOUDS.
THE WAYS OF HIS HEART ARE MUCH LIKE THE SUN. SONIC RUNS AND RESTS; THE SUN RISES AND SETS.
DON’T GIVE UP ON THE SUN. DON’T MAKE THE SUN LAUGH AT YOU.

The guy I rarely agree with and the guy I rarely understand are not exactly who I’d want supporting the thumbs up cause.

Wait, actually I would.

The film becomes pointless if you take out the emotional bond John has with his protector. The thumbs up is the high point of the emotional connection. It’s like the Iron Giant saying “you stay, I go”, only a little different.

It’s knocking down a building with a nuclear bomb instead of a wrecking ball.
