Why did it try to retcon T3-5, but actually rip off so many T3 ideas?
You cannot avoid judgment day
T-800/850 killed Connor and became good.
Rev-9 is a rip off from T-X in many ways, including the death.
At least T3 has a pretty terminator, also the ending was quite good. John Connor could change his fate after learning it from T-850.

I thought it was an okay movie apart from the start of it how it begins with its retcon.
It wasn't terrible, but made 2 HUGE mistakes.
Killed John Connor, pissed off old fans like you said.
Other than it and rebrand Skynet's name, it brought nothing new other than a very unconvincing young leader. 3-5 all tried to provide something new. Especially 3-4 tried to set up the future war.
