And Luke wasn't leading anything until later, when he and Wedge co-founded Rogue Squadron. He was just another fighter pilot during the Battle of Yavin. Not even a flight leader.

That's the impression I got. I mean, "award" with a bit of shiny metal and a few pictures for the newsfeeds, but then back to the mines. It wouldn't have cost him anything and would have strengthened the goodwill they'd brought him.

Though I do kinda like the idea of Optimus being a quiet, humble bookworm who got thrust into Authority and rose to the occasion. "When a good man goes to war," and all that.

An insightful and topical article (written for non-fans, so forgive the omission of the franchise's long history): https://reactormag.com/transformers-one-is-the-pro-labor-allegory-the-animation-industry-needs-right-now/

I dunno, I think this (hopefully introductory) season did a good job of fleshing out most of the main cast (aside from the two girls, but that's an unfortunate tradition in shonen). The finale in particular was all about Kojiro, and his growth from bodyguard to potentially a general in his own...

Man. The good old days.

That's the caffeine.

The TRU at the Dufferin Mall in Toronto seemed okay a few months ago (the last time I was there). I think the video game section is still there (I don't game, so I just ignore that part of the store). The TF section was pitiful, but that's normal. It's mostly a Babies'R'Us at this point, which...

I love how the progression makes it look like he was walking past, noticed the camera, and then started posing.

I feel like at this point the kids and collectors-aimed toylines are distinct enough that Hasbro could probably get away with leaving them out of the kids' line for a year or two. There'll always be a new G1-with-movable-fingers animation-model-accurate Optimus Prime on shelves; let Elita-1 or...

Cheap Tuesdays are a thing at most theatres, at least in Canada.

I dunno, Tangled and Big Hero Six both switched art styles (and actors in BH6's case) for their sequel shows, and those both ended up awesome. I know Paramount's not Disney, but it's at least possible.

Has it really only been three years?! Wow, this generation just came and went, didn't it?

Just got back from it (and had to finish today's work because it's not a day off). Loved it, though (much like Bumblebee) there are worldbuilding/VFX details that bug me: I hate those self-building roads, and always have. It's bad enough when they're miles-long unsupported bridges, but now...

There's this sense of exuberance that western music just hasn't had since the 80s.

It occurs to me that "Bodycam" would be a fitting name for Barricade's deployer. . .

Someone needs to put the audio from that vid over actual clips from MTMTE.
