Terminator Genisys: 30 Easter Eggs, In-Jokes And References

10. A Terminator That Cries

A key running thread in Terminator 2 was how machines can't feel emotions, something personified by the T-800's inability to cry even when he feels something bordering on sadness. Well, that's clearly not a problem any more. Now more than a machine or a man, robo-John clearly can cry - when pinned up against the MRI scanner his face streams with tears, possibly because his parents have just left him, but maybe just because it's a cool throwback moment.
