Internet Spoilers Spur Terminator Salvation Trilogy Plot Revision

A few months ago, a spoiler hit the net about how the Terminator Salvation trilogy was going to end. Check the bottom of the post to see it. Well, reaction on the net has been pretty heavily divided about the ending. It is ballsy to say the least, so you know it had to piss off more than just a couple fan boys.

Whether it was because of the fan reaction or just that McG wants to have a surprise at the end of the series, the word is now that he’s giving the movie a major overhaul. According to MovieHole,
the new ending is “a complete 180 from the original” and that it “works better” and is “probably not as hard to swallow”.

OK, here’s the original spoiler, don’t scroll down past this point if you don’t want to see it.

You sure?

Ok, you’ve been warned

Allegedly, this is how McG has the plot for the trilogy wrapping up.

The main character is a cyborg named Marcus. For some background, Marcus was a criminal who was executed in 2003. He donated his body to Project Angel which was involved with SkyNet. They take his body and make a terminator out of him so he’s a terminator skeleton but has living muscle/skin and a beating heart too. At the end of the movie John Connor is fighting a T800 model 101 and loses. He dies and the top resistance people come up with a plan to help the resistance keep fighting on. The resistance feels that it’s important to keep the image or idea that John Connor is still alive so the resistance keeps going. So they rip off Marcus’ skin and put John Connor’s on the skeleton so now Marcus is John Connor.
