This article contains Large spoilers for "M3GAN 2.0".

Sequels are an awkward perspective, the truth that most film fans are well acquainted with these days. Although franchises have become such a stream of the film industry in the last few decades, the same basic themes with the story series continue to decompose. Namely, how do you give a story what is a sequel to what happened before and something that feels exciting new? Movies cannot (and should not) be television, in which this problem is barely exists thanks to that it has much lower deposits for an episode of the current series. Film, the audience is required to return to the theater physically and spend more money to see their favorite characters (and/or the universe they live in), and thus directors should find a way to deliver a new and traditional experience at the same time.

Fortunately, franchise directors have something from the North Starwar in the form of writer/director Jameseims Cameron. During his 43-year career, Cameron is partly or involved with six sequels, starting with his debut "Piran II: Saint" and continues through this winter "Avatar: Fire and Ash". Among them, he is responsible for what can be argued is the epitome of the form: "Terminator 2: Judgment of Verdict" since 1991. Although the "aliens" and "Rambo: First Blood II" use the "Flip the Script" structure that Cameron uses in "T2", the second film absolutely perfected it (after It's almost sunk With an initial bad idea), demonstrating how the sequel can respect and surpass its predecessor in numerous ways.

"T2" has helped give subsequent directors confidence to take their sequels in a totally new direction, something that can be seen in films as diverse as "Ridic Chronicles" and "Happy Day of Death 2". The latest example, this month, "M3Gan 2.0" is a little more obvious than most in its respect for T2. However, the writer/director Gererrard Johnonton (works from the story of himself and Akela Cooper, who co-wrote the original "M3Gan") He has clearly learned all the real lessons from one of the best science teachers that were once made, as M3Gan 2.0 shows.

The most obvious "T2" respect in "M3Gan 2.0" It is also the simplest: both sequels pull the orderly trick to make the villain of the first film in the hero. Ironically, although both series relate to sensitive humanoid robots, this switch has not arrived in the same way. In the original "Terminator", T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) is thoroughly destroyed at the end of the film, which means that the T-800 sent to protect the young Johnon Connor (Edward Furlong). However, because it is the same model of terminator as the first film, and is only reprogrammed by the future Johnon to be sent in time, because its younger protector of himself, this T-800 brings enough resemblance to the original Terminator for Switcharoo to have a certain emotional weight.

Meanwhile, "M3Gan 2.0" from the beginning explains that M3GAN on this film (featuring Ami Donald and Enena Davis) is the same character. Although M3Gan was thought to have been destroyed after the first film, it turns out that she found a way to maintain her source code alive, unknown to her creator, Gema (Allison Williams), or the girl with whom she was paired, Kadi (purple McGrav). The first film saw that M3Gan goes through the evolution of a murderous self -awareness similar to Hull 9000 (or The other "children's play"), but "M3GAN 2.0" continues and deepens the topic of responsibility of the first parenting film by not having an inherent evil, only improperly "grown up" by Gema, who late realized that it had built M3Gan to be a replacement parent. Thus, Sequel's M3gan is a more mature individual, its growth in parallel with how Cady is now more independent young teenager.

So, when Gemma and Caddy reveal that the secret government Android killer named Amelia (Ivana Sahno) (which was created thanks to the fact that someone stealing Gema's research) is on a mission to eliminate all responsible for her existence, M3Gan has decided to become a member of the family. Although this change is more based on characters, it has reactions to the whole film. Similar to the way T2 has turned the Terminator's Action Horror into a more pure scientific action ", the M3Gan 2.0" moves away from the "Living Doll" of the first film in a more scientific and anime-inspired activities.

However, M3Gan is not the only character that undergoes further development in the sequel. In addition to growing and becoming more independent and strong (both literally and figuratively), Gema finds some reconciliation with her old mutual m3Gan when she is temporarily inserted into the former's brain. It is a dynamic reminiscent of Sarah Connor to learn to respect the reprogrammed T-800. In addition, just as Sarah reveals herself to become a Terminator when trying to kill Skin's architect Miles Dyson (Oeo Morton), Gema finds himself reinforced by M3Gan -like forces at one point, to further blur the line between former Nemes.

This concept is introduced in the main thematic interest shown in "T2" and "M3Gan 2.0", which is a different view of the problems with unverified artificial intelligence. In the "Day of the verdict", although machines created in the future on behalf of the Rogue Ai Skynet program are still considered antagonists, morality is less reduced and dried when the continued heated nature of mankind, as well as its blindness when it comes to applying new technologies, are taken into account. With the first "M3GAN" to tackle some preliminary questions about the rise of AI as a daily assistant, "2.0" is still diving in the debate on its unregulated use despite its widespread breeding. Although his conclusion may not be satisfactory to all, he responds to the theme of the series of mankind, who should be responsible for his creations, which is as Mary Shelley as the Jamesesheims Cameron.

Although M3Gan 2.0 has a lot more plot and tone-wise than doing "T2"-this article does not even refer to the continuous elements of camp and satire that go on from the original - However, it proves that using Cameron's film as a template for an inventive sequel is still even more than sustainable. In the industry obsessed with IP, it is still, as a source of material, "M3GAN 2.0" repeatedly repeats The mantra of "Terminator 2", What is that there is really no fate, except what we can do for ourselves.
