Yes, while I still believe that the first two Terminators are the best in the franchise, the others are still pretty good films. Hell, even Salvation has some great moments. I think part of the reason why people didn’t like the later films was due to a lack of understanding of the way that the multiple timelines change and interact and, especially with the last two, have mixed together. I really liked how Dark Fate finally gave us basically solid proof that the predestination paradox created in the first movie means that as long as John Connor exists, so will Skynet and Judgement Day WILL happen. Having a new AI take its place was a bit reductive, but I still enjoyed it overall.

I loved this article, and I think you make some great points, however, there is one sort of fatal flaw. I would argue that My Hero Academia is less of a reconstruction of the Silver Age of Comics as much as it is seen as a new generation of manga and especially the Shonen genre of manga and anime. A more apt comparison of a de or reconstruction of the silver age of comics might be to contrast One Punch Man with Invincible, The Boys, or especially, Watchmen.

I think the best part of your take is that Eren himself would agree with you. There’s even that iconic scene at the end of season two where he screams in grief that he hasn’t changed after being unable to save Hannes. And this moment, where all the newfound power he had ended up still being useless to change his world ultimately drives him to seek more power and… well, season 4 the whole thing up.
