The original film is returning to theaters later this year. Isn't the first time, either.
For some reason, I read that as "The original film is threatening to return to theaters later this year."
...don't know where that came from.
Maybe 40 years ago, it wasn't released... it escaped.
Honestly, I thought it was talking about the first Bay movie.
I think the mainstream has tainted my mind with regards to what "the original Transformers" movie means when people say it.
Or I just need to learn how to read.

Yeah, you'd think I'd have that knocked before becoming a moderator on one of these things, wouldn't you?
Or maybe they saw a big sucker who’ll do free work
Sadly, “the original Transformers movie” is probably more apt to be the first Bay one depending on how the next one goes as time goes on. It HAS been TWENTY YEARS since that film came out…
Calling the 1989 Batman movie "the first one" became a lot less common after Batman Begins came out.
And I don't just mean the Tim Burton ones became less remembered, I mean I think the 1966 one actually gets more acknowledgment now than it did 30 years ago.
Maybe if Bumblebee had actually been fully acknowledged as the reboot that it works better as (IE if Lorenzo di Bonaventura would just answer story questions with "I don't decide that, so stop asking me" instead of saying jive the writers and directors probably wouldn't agree with), nobody would consider the 2007 Transformers movie to be "the first" of anything other than the Michael Bay series.

To casual movie-going audiences, no theatrical Transformers movie ever existed before 2007.
To us fans, the first theatrical Transformers movie came out in 1986.
But what both have in common is that they so often overlook what was the actual second Transformers movie ever released theatrically:

I swear the Tim Burton ones aged poorly but then at some point they started aging really well. They're kinda great.
The Burton era only lasted two films before they swapped directors and lead actor
'89 is still great but I think Forever laps Returns, myself.
As far as Transformers go, it's all contextual. If I'm talking to Transformers fans and someone says "the first one," I can reasonably assume they mean TFTM from 1986 (unless the convo is Bayverse specific).
If I'm talking to someone who's not a fan of this stuff, however, and they say "the first Transformers movie," then I can reasonably assume they mean '07.

That's true, but not really relevant?
I still claim the first Transformers movie was made in 1950, even though I should note I am lying, I made this in 2007 when there weren't a lot of options for toys to use.
Oh, geeze...not only are most of my comics poorly thought out messes, but now I need to boost their production value?!
I like your proudly human-made work whatever the production value.
The art in that video beats a lot of today's art, but then the 1950s & 60s along with the 70s were trying to present a optmistic future full of hope and joy, from the 90s onwards it was pretty much presenting dark bleak futures, for the most part
What if I'm optimistic that the future will be dark and bleak...?
Coincidentally I am pretty sure that the explosion itself is the plot of all Bay movies, followed by Tim Burton's later adaptation starring Johnny Depp as a mentally unbalanced pale weirdo.

You sure about that? It's all AI generated.
I was refering to the style, I got old Ladybird books from when I was a kid and that style of art is present in those books and they make a lot of today's art look extremely inferior to what was produced back then
