    They could move the story forward with Atreus as the main character, that would still be familiar enough. Prequels are very hard to do right.

    Terminator is a special case, because time travel limits the interesting time span for the story if you don’t keep erasing the previous movies plot.

      Even Terminator 2 changed the time travel rules established in the first movie, but at least it felt like its ideas were still original. And I didn’t even mind Terminator 3.
