    Depending on which version of the film you watch the T1000 was either being creepy (because it was programmed to or it developed that mannerism), or it was just malfunctioning like in the way its camouflage ability had been damaged by being frozen and thawed.

      this is so clear in the movie.
      either way it's a gag that works imo for a split second of levity during a pretty frightening and intense series of escapes/fights.
      also the T1000 was much more demonstrably socially evolved compared to the Arnold Terminator, remember all thru the intro of the film he's talking to normies in a very agreeable and polite manner. He wasn't the same as the previous machine.

    Cameron considers the theatrical release to be his canon. This cuts out the T-1000 being perma-damaged by being rapidly frozen, blown apart and rapidly melted. It cuts out the 'operation' on the T-800's skull to change the CPU setting that inhibits Terminator units from learning. It cuts at least one accompanying scene where John asks it to attempt replicating a man's smile; and the fact that it treats the data naively and adopts an expression not suited to it's outward appearance reflects it can fail. It's also humourous.

    Those scenes are important in terms of the T-800's character arc, but Cameron sacrified them to serve the main story. The T-800 was programmed to follow John's orders, so the future resistance had accessed that CPU yet had not turned the learning feature on. They did not trust it to learn(just as Skynet doesn't) even though they are sending it alone on the most critical mission of their entire campaign, but trusted a ten year-old boy to use it wisely. Maybe as before, they knew John had to learn how to access the CPU of that specific model so he could do it again three decades later, and knew he would if they left it alone. No room in the almost 3 hour film to explain that though, so it's dropped.

    The T-1000 simply can't be controlled in the same way. Learn-mode can only be on or off; every 'cell' of it's body would need switching off or just one could switch them all back on. This is one reason why the idea that Skynet saw it as a danger exists. My interpretation of the extended scenes is that learn-mode is off, but the freeze damage resets it, causing some of the now working learning cells to start acting independently.

        The T-1000 can harden itself instantly, which in chemistry terms is a big deal when it comes to how reactive a substance is to another. Damaged molecules will only be on the surface and can be shedded when their protection fails. The chemical bonds are tighter when molecules are forced together, it takes longer for an acid to cancel them out. The lava factory was the perfect place, the one place it could die, and the story ended there. Almost no one noticed this, because the rest of the film was so good.

        Remind me, how did Cameron handwave away the whole "only biological stuff (or stuff inside of living matter) can go through time" they said in T1.

        Terminator started as a horror film and people don't seem to realise how faithful to that the best sequel was, because the action has so ramped up. The T-1000 goes through because it's superior and has either overcome or achieved the mysterious requirement of 'looks like living tissue from the outside, but not gonna look inside the case'. The T-1000 wasn't just a showcase for special-effects; it's got an arc that's told almost entirely through subtext. It spawned itself into a minor cult icon as a Terminator just like the original did, and almost none of the others have.

          Pretty sure everyone noticed how convenient it was. But it wasn't too bad, because foundries exist. They probably don't have giant open pits of molten metal in them, but it's close enough to realism that most people aren't bothered by it.

    The more egregious example of Reddit-writing is why did the T-800 steal the biker's sunglasses and wear them the whole movie? In the first (and only good) Terminator film the terminator only wore the glasses because it had damaged its eye and needed to disguise the wound. In T2 it wears the sunglasses because Le Kewl Quirky Reference to an iconic characteristic from an earlier movie that actually had logical reasoning behind it in that film.
