Sounds somewhat similar to the Matrix plotlineHuh. I actually own this book. And this is indeed on page 19:
I'll be damned. Glad that has never featured in the films 'cause I really don't care for the idea.

Huh, in all of my years of loving Terminator 2, I had never seen the alternate ending

Preventing the true judgement day. Terrible fucking sequel after sequel.
This why you have other people who tell you to stop and cut stuff sometimes.Huh. I actually own this book. And this is indeed on page 19:

Cameron is notorious for shooting a lot of things that he himself will decide doesn't work and will leave on the cutting room floor. Titanic and Avatar have plenty of scenes that were completely filmed that he axed.
That's why Cameron is also a pretty cool director. Plenty of people need that reality check though.
Part of Cameron's genius is that he can come with a shit ton of ideas, and always lands on the best ones. Where other people carry on with the worst ideas, he has the talent to say no to his own ideas rather than yes. It's similiar to steve jobs, who can be behind one idea and know when he's making a mistake with it and go back on it with 0 shame.
Why do the extras look like they're wearing 80s clothes?

Say hello to the premise of Terminator 7.
This scene should not have been deleted. Great character moments, plus it explains why the T-800 becomes more expressive and human during the third act.
lmao that's how folks in the late 80's/early 90's thought the future looked like.
Cameron did go a little extra with the colours in that scene, but I guess he wanted to contrast the bleakness of opening 2029.

I don't know. I like it. It makes sense of the whole anomalous time loop. At some point skynet existed organically and using its advanced computing powers, it made sure to plot out a path via time travel to ensure its eventual demise. Most likely tying its existence to a terminator sent back in time to send messages to course correct any failed attempts.
If they had gone with this ending we could have avoided having 3 completely awful sequels. In that sense I think it might have been necessary.
The 80s was so powerful we didn't actually escape it until like 94
This scene wasn't in the T2 directors cut.
The actual DC itself contains the chip reset scene and the issues with the T-1000 malfunctioning after being frozen in nitrogen.
It's one DC which actually adds a lot more to the original which benefits the narrative in my opinion.
I saw the alternate ending in the late 90's when the special edition was shown on Australian tv (something that only happened once in a blue moon). Never saw it again until the local release of the Ultimate Edition dvd (which coincided with the cinema release of T3 - which annoyed me as R1/America got the dvd wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before we did!). And even then you had to enter a code (the Judgment Day date) to access it.
I liked the nuances that the Ultimate Edition added (such as the extended resetting the switch scene at the abandoned garage). And the alternate ending is a cute easter egg I guess you could say. The original highway ending is better.

Technically this alternate ending is the original ending
I prefer the theatrical ending I guess. You know what I mean.
Firstly, this alternate ending isn't in the Special Edition Cut of T2.
Secondly, I'll take the special edition of both Aliens and especially T2 over the theatrical any day.
Rewatched T2 in cinemas a few years back and the theatrical cut feels way too barebones compared to the special edition which fleshes out the characters and story more effectively.
Yeah I was gonna say The Matrix kinda does the reverse version of this where you come to learn humans were kinda giant dicks and oppressors to machines.
I wonder if the scene came from a studio note, and Cameron intentionally made it look bad so they wouldn't use it.
