Poetic License - In Other Words #5

It's been a while. Not much has felt worth my attention or worthy of refinement in the musical realm. But it dawned on me that this would be a viable format for my plot revision ideas for movie franchises I was less than impressed with. This won't be fan-fiction, just a pitch.  That Said:

SPOILERS FOR TERMINATOR-DARK FATE
At least inferred.

My proposotion is this, the film series returns to it's singular horror roots, but it's tone shifts back to a slow-burn suspense filled chase.

We can keep the opening scene of Terminator Dark Fate. 
In this "soft reboot" Sarah Connor is stalking other Sarah Connors, trying to find ones with sons named john. She's returned to leaving her voice memos as seen at the end of the Terminator. We learn through these recordings that she is trying to right/ write the future by finding and preparing John Connor to lead the resistance, be it her son, or another Sarah Connor's.

The core premise is that her psychological instability has pushed her to the brink after so much trauma but the ceaseless threat of the future has pushed her to carry on.

This Sarah Connor becomes a unifying character, in that she can actually encounter our varying John Connors in early stages of their lives to inspire them to become resistance fighters with no knowledge of each other such that Nick Stahl's John and Christian Bales can exist in the same timeline along with the Jason Clarke and Thomas Dekker. There will be a cuckoo's egg undercurrent in play.

Her Sarah has foreknowledge their Sarahs will not, so her motivation will be to impart that foreknowledge to them, which Skynet will be trying to stop, by finally Terminating Sarah, and returning to terminating other Sarahs and Johns.
