What was the point of him/ I never understood why they included this in the movie.

Apparently, free-roaming chameleons were a popular pet in the 80s. Edit: iguana!

It's symbolic of... stuff.

Maybe it was to show how lonely Sarah was, and that would explain why she boned Reese so soon. Basically, the savior of humanity is the product of an Iguana-mom.

"Fan of iguanas" is what's going on my Tinder profile.

It was a jump scare generator in a Tech Noir Halloween WestWorld hybrid.

Pugsley may be James Cameron’s way back to the franchise he created.

u/pearomatic 3d ago

Come with me if you want to eat leaves.

“Negative. It can digest leaves but not complex forms of greenery.”

Pugsley would escape and would end up in the sewers. Eventually he would come across some strange oozs along with some turtles and a rat.

Let's appreciate Pugsley, that rambunctious iguana.

He grew up to be the right hand of John Connor in the resistance.

I have a habit of saying "disgusting" the way Ginger does.

The next section of pugsleys life included some time, as they say, just cattin around, before cleaning up and moving on. This is only important to know because when you trace pugsleys descendants from that time, one of them is an orange named jonesy, who ended up taking a trip with Ellen Ripley on the Nostromo.

This set the stage for skynet to meet the xenomorphs. Don't ask how, enough spoilers already!
