James Cameron’s Aliens and T2: Judgment Day are two of the greatest action films (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionizedSequel) ever made. So why am I bringing up M3GAN in the same breath? Because beneath the memes and dance clips, M3GAN 2.0 is actually playing with a classic sci-fi trick that Cameron helped perfect: the genre swap (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/GenreShift/LiveActionFilms).
In this video, I break down why M3GAN has quietly turned into a surprisingly interesting franchise, how it connects to the tradition of films like Aliens and T2, and why I can’t stop wishing James Cameron directed M3GAN 2.0.
If you’re into horror, sci-fi, or just want to know why M3GAN might be on her way to being iconic, this one’s for you.
