• ... that Terminator the Second retells the story of Terminator 2: Judgment Day using only lines from the works of William Shakespeare?

• • ALT1: ... that the Protomen scored and appeared in an Early Middle English adaptation of Terminator 2: Judgment Day titled Terminator the Second? Source: https://protomen.com/news/2013/10/

** ALT2: ... that William Shakespeare is credited as a writer in a 2011 adaptation of Terminator 2: Judgment Day titled Terminator the Second? Source: https://gizmodo.com/william-shakespeare-brings-you-terminator-the-sec-5796402

• • Reviewed:
  • Comment: ALT2 is primarily sourced from the work itself (i.e: its script, but this is not a work that is freely available online) and would likely be a copyright violation issue if I were to share a screenshot. 'William Shakespeare presents' is noted on its production poster (visible on the page itself) but this may constitute inference without the script to rely on.

• Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No copyright violations detected or other issues. No QPQ is required. Hook facts for Alt0 and Alt1 both check out. Given the difficulty of verifying Alt2 (although I trust it is accurate), I say we skip that one. I don't think the Protomen band is well known enough to be a draw. I think Alt0 is the best proposed hook, so I say lets go with that one. Alt0 can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 22:28, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
