The T-1000 in Terminator 2 (1991)
Robert Patrick’s next-gen Terminator in Terminator 2: Judgment Day had a reptilian cool that made him even more frightening than the original Terminator. He didn’t have a hulking frame, because he didn’t need one. He could turn into anyone or anything — and even imitate the voice of John Connor’s poor stepmom.
His liquid metal transformations were a perfect metaphor for how today’s artificial intelligence tries, grotesquely, to writhe its way into every aspect of our lives.
