Ten Live-Action Dramas That Deserve An Animated Spin-Off More Than The X-Files

The Terminator franchise has struggled for decades to figure out what its fans want and even constant appearance from Arnold Schwarzenegger, flashy reboots, and legacy sequels can’t seem to crack the formula. That being said, a lot of people consider the short-lived Sarah Connor Chronicles series to feature some of the most elegant and respectful storytelling of the entire franchise. Animating the Terminator, let alone with a comedic slant, is definitely a bold pivot, but the same is said for Star Trek and The X-Files. The Terminator series is able to add over the top action sequences to the mix and mine humor from the many tropes that fill up not just the Terminator franchise, but also dystopia sci-fi and the action genre in general. The series could have a lot of fun by having an inexperienced fighter from the future, as well as a defective Terminator model, getting displaced back in time and always being a few steps behind Sarah and John. It can’t tarnish the Terminator name any more than the most recent projects.
