You know what wouldn't have sucked? If James Cameron had done a prequel set in the future. An action packed grim and gritty war picture about John Conner and his rebellion against Skynet.
No annoying kids. No lame wisecracks. Just man vs machine in a dystopian hellscape. [Reply]

They did (although I', not sure how it would be a prequel since the original was set in the present), it was called Terminator: Salvation, it didn't do well. [Reply]

That wasn't James Cameron circa 1990 in "Aliens" mode though. That was some warmed over Transformers shit directed by some douche named "McG.' [Reply]

I would’ve LOVED that

In the future, scientist/revolutionary John Conner captures a Skynet factory and creates a divergent strain of artificial humans i.e. Replicants. He sends one of these new artificial humans into the past to protect (and impregnate) Sarah Conner. John insures his own birth as a human/replicant hybrid. No pure human could have survived the nuclear holocaust. Only a hybrid like John could. The war after Judgement Day isn't a war of Man vs. Machine. Humanity is gone. It's now a battle between machine and something "more human than human" to see who inherits what's left of the Earth.
