I think we all have a little Bart Simpson in us.
But what do I know
It's not like I was around
I just realised that this film is over three years away.
Uhhh, they're blue.
You can't be much more diverse than that.

Give it to the Power Rangers director. DO IT
Can't agree with your assessment of Newt, but I think that's accurate for John in T2. But I'd argue it was intentional, to subvert expectations for what the future leader of the human resistance would be as a kid. He was a whiny asshole. He has a lot of quieter scenes, particularly as the film goes on, that point to who he'd be as he got older. It's a pretty good bit of writing, and Furlong delivered what he needed to.
Also, having kids in the film =/= "kid-focused".

This looks like a Disney channel cast pic
SlimySnake
Flashless at the Golden Globes
Terminator 2.
Mostly with low budget stuff and/or with creators who suck and do not understand how to do young characters. Talented directors/writers/teams can do kid characters perfectly fine.
Yo listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen

I swear I thought the kid on the left was Chris from Fear the Walking Dead at first glance, especially after hearing that Cliff Curtis is going to be in this.

a-ffirmative!
He's not good with kids. Never has been.
To a point I'd agree that "I meant to do that" works as a valid excuse, but the execution goes far past that, to where it becomes kinda obvious to me that Cameron just didn't direct Furlong very well, which he really needed to do considering the character he wrote was BART SIMPSON. The performance is grating. The personality is grating. And not in the "I meant to do that" sort of way. John Connor is probably the weakest thing about T2, and he didn't have to be.

He got Budnick tho.

They're not really remarkable child roles. Newt spends most of her time catatonic or shrieking, and John Connor is kind of a turd only made somewhat likable because he's not as irritating as his orange-mulleted little buddy.

A bunch of fucking kids?
Ugh...
Ugh...
I mean...why wouldn't kids be here when it spans multiple movies with the a theme about family? The reactions are a little funny.

You'd think that in a post-IT/Stranger Things world, people wouldn't have such intense knee-jerk reactions to the mere presence of children in a film.

We going Harry Potter or something.
Terra Nova is back!
What a professionally lit jungle.
Furlong single-handedly holds T2 back from GOAT status
Oh well, the main characters all being kids sounds fucking terrible, but we'll see.

Those are exceptions though.
i see youre all excited you found a reason to say its still racist but its not working. just stop.
I'm actually heartened by this news. Hopefully that means they can kill of Sam Worthington and Neytiri (sp? I don't care). Warhammer Quaritch coming for those asses!
I could definitely use me some more Naomi Scott.

Oh James, you of all people should know that you do the annoying kids plot in the third movie, not the second.
That kid is easily the worst part of Aliens though, that shit is terrible and feels completely out of place with the rest of the movie. /unpopular opinion

The real question is which one won't.
You mean the very only exceptions to a general rule.
Also, one is an R rated horror movie (That unexpectedly blew up) and the other a niche unrated netflix thriller.
If you think James "Blockbuster" Cameron is doing an interesting, risky endeavour with the PG 12 sequel to the highest box office performer ever, I don't know what to tell you.

Wouldn't It be weirder if Zoe Zaldana's character had white kids?
The white kid is probably the kid if rose or some other dude from the first movie.
