Black Adam: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (ripoff): Terminator 2: Judgment Day ⇒ Black Adam (the host's read). The Black Adam kid is called a straight John Connor ripoff, down to the skateboard and the catchphrase coaching.
    “It is a straight up John Connor ripoff.”

Shazam!: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. craft (craft): Terminator 2: Judgment Day ⇒ Shazam! (the host's read). Fennessey asks whether an effects shot echoes the T-1000 reassembling in Terminator 2; Sandberg agrees he references other films.
    “this is basically that shot in Terminator 2, when the T 1000 gets, you know, comes back together and rises up”

Alien 3: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (set-piece comparison): Alien 3 → Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The molten-metal foundry finale resembles the end of Terminator 2.

Avatar: The Way of Water: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Avatar: The Way of Water → Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Cameron's pitches for sequels sounded off beforehand and then worked, as with T2.

Charlie Korsmo: 1 line what-if ×1

  1. what-if (casting what-if): Charlie Korsmo → Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Korsmo was the original choice for the Edward Furlong role in T2 but did What About Bob? instead.
    “We found out he was the original choice for the Edward Furlong role, but he did what about Bob instead?”

One Battle After Another: 1 line programming ×1

  1. programming (programming): Terminator 2: Judgment Day → One Battle After Another. The 2021 Cameron swap of Terminator 2 versus Titanic was great prep for the Cameron-return era and, per Amanda, for One Battle After Another.
    “that was also great prep for one battle after another.”

Raiders of the Lost Ark: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Raiders of the Lost Ark → Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Today's body standard: Ford's buff Temple of Doom prep, Schwarzenegger in T2, now like Paul Rudd in Ant-Man.
    “he is the exact same shape.”
