YMMV / Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle

• Complete Monster: Thomas Parnell is a Serial Killer from the past, infamous for his brutal strings of murders across the country. Discovering his love for murder by killing his abusive father, Parnell left dozens of bodies in his killing spree, before he was finally caught by the police and executed for his crimes. Preserved by Dr. Kogan and Skynet, Parnell was resurrected in the future as a Terminator, who was supposed to assist Skynet in its war in exchange for control of the remaining human population. Eagerly helping Skynet by controlling the Terminators to brutally tear apart the human Resistance, and leaving torn apart bodies and skin as a "decorations" on the road, Parnell decided to overthrow Skynet and take over all its systems. Forcing Dr. Kogan to install an upgrade on him, Parnell proves himself to be more evil than Skynet, sending the Terminators to ensure that the future will remain post-apocalyptic and then planning to wipe out the Resistance completely, intending to "play" with the rest of the human population for as long as he likes, before he tortures and murders human and machine alike.
• Narm: The female Terminator's weapons of choice are Prehensile Hair and an ability to exude clouds of deadly chemical gas. As illustrated by the artwork, the imagery just comes off as cartoony to a degree which clashes with the overall serious and gritty tone of the comic.
• Narm Charm: Also courtesy of the female Terminator, as she's about to walk into the ocean, the sight which makes her briefly pause and wonder about beauty is her seeing a seagull in flight. It feels more than a little silly, yet given this is a killer robot from a world where most wildlife has died out, it's actually quite effective.
