How Cameron evolves from Leone to have his own take

Cameron evolves Leone’s original formula to bring his own style to the table by using many of his own narrative traits to create a film what does differ in some aspects of Leone’s narrative. In TG,TB,TU the trio of main characters are following the normal characteristics of previous westerns however in T2 Cameron changes two of his trio’s characters to create a different dimension to the film as a whole. The use of a female main character allows a different interpretation and viewpoint what differs from Leone’s style of having a male dominant story, while lending to how Cameron tends to use strong, empowered female characters. While the idea of using non-human characters in his film adds to it with the T-800 who adds emotion despite being a machine. Leone on the other hand strays away from showing emotion. The T-800 brings emotion as Cameron want’s to use him as a another layer and connect all the characters more fluidly to show weakness unlike Leone who wants to have his characters be emotionless going more into the idea of being a anti-hero or heroine. Compare both trio’s the only similarity of both of them is the roles of those characters.
