There are philosophical differences between T1 and T2 which I think are much more substantive than critiques of fan service. T1 is, "if we go ahead with improved computing technology with no thought, ultimately machines will take over and kill us. But with our humanity (Kyle) we can defeat them." T2 is, "The leader of the resistance, who successfully leads humans towards victory, is someone whose mother was human, but whose strongest father-figure was a machine. It is only if we understand machines, and teach them humanity (like John does the Terminator) can we attain victory." I think if you reflect on this a while, you will see that T2 has a lot more philosophical nuance in what it says about the relation of humans and technology, than T1.
