I'm sorry, my point was over here. The new X-Men movies have had a more real-world portrayal of the comic book. No spandex, more toned down powers, fewer space aliens, etc. While Terminator robots may work wonderfully in post apocalyptic worlds devastated by war (I wish I could think of a film franchise that had robots like these, but dammit it just keeps slipping away), these same robots do not work in a setting like we have in the world right now.
The movie going public loves giant robots. They paid good money to go see the Matrix, War of the Worlds and that one movie that had the Terminator robots. I'm talking about the fictional public responding to robots in their front yards in a realistic manner. Willful suspension of disbelief kind of stuff.
