I completely disagree. Seeing Arnold in front of a camera is NEVER a good thing in my opinion. The guy is probably the worst actor to have ever walked the face of this Earth. Just seeing him on-screen makes my skin crawl. Sorry, can't stand the dude's "acting" (and I use that word VERY loosely) at all. I'd assume he stay far FAR away from acting again.

Even just as an action star I never saw him as being anything special. He brought nothing to the table that you couldn't find from a thousand other people. His only appeal was his size. The only reason he was "bigger than life" in that time period is because he was the one studios kept pushing down our throats. He just lucked out and got into all the popular movies. Switch his roles with the roles that Dolph Lundgren got and we would be sitting here talking about how Dolph was the quintessential action star of the 80s and 90s instead of Arnold.

Plain and simple: he lucked out. He had a big imposing physique and the studios saw fit to push him as an action star. And he got lucky and got put in all the movies that turned out to be some of the favorites of the era. He doesn't even really have any of the other "redeeming" qualities that other action stars have. Whether it be charisma or good fighting ability or whatever.

And, I'm sure he's a fine person in person. I'm sure he's nice and all. But I don't know him personally and I don't care, so I'm not passing judgment on him as a person. My critiques aren't aimed at him as a person, but solely as the actor Arnold.

I don't think it would feel all that forced. It's not too hard to think of ways they could bring him back into the mix in the series'. As long as he doesn't look too awkward performing some of the more physical tasks required of him in an action movie I think this would be awesome.

I'm sure his experience has very little play in how well he could get buff again. It's not like he's small now anyways. I'm sure he could get there easy, just like Sly. I just mean it's not like being a former body builder means his body is programmed now to go on auto-buff. It just means he knows how to workout proper. Just like I'm sure Sly and MANY other actors do. If not, that's what they have trainers for.

And sorry, but anybody with an imposing physique, no emotion, a robotic voice and next to no acting ability could replace Arnold. He's not good. That's why he fit the part so well. Cause it called for an uncharismatic person to play a stiff, emotionless, robotic character. Which is how pretty much anybody with zero acting ability would come across on-screen.
