* AudienceAlienatingPremise: \'\'Dark Fate\'\' suffered from this the moment that word-of-mouth got around that [[spoiler:John Connor is killed off in the opening scene.]] As Richard Roeper put it, the film sends missed signals about whom its intended audience is. Marketing the return of Schwarzenegger, Hamilton and Cameron to the franchise for the first time in 28 years gives the impression that it\'s being marketed towards die-hard fans who grew up with the franchise. But then, [[spoiler:killing off John Connor, and then falling back on the same RecycledPremise as the first two films except with a new BigBad and LivingMacGuffin gives the impression that this was meant to be a clean slate.]] The end result is that the film failed to interest \'\'either\'\' side and became a financial flop.
