At the very least the summer release would have meant more kids and families with more time to see more movies.

I'd have released it in early July.

There were a lot of missteps when it came to marketing TFO but I'm sorry... I can't get on board with that. I don't think any general audience member saw TFO's trailers and went "it looks like Prime and EarthSpark, pass." I think there were multiple other reasons people passed on TFO, if they...

You needed to improvise more. Like the time I played Pokemon in synagogue. Granted I was 11 at the time, but I was like 35 when I drafted my fantasy hockey team during Rosh Hashana services :LOL:

I'm not sure "I donno guys, Prime and Earthspark were just TOO GOOD and that's why TFO failed" is a compelling argument. Prime ended eleven years prior to TFO being released. I don't think it affected anyone's decision to see or not see the film one iota. And while I'm sure you did see a lot...

I read that whole post and by the end of it I didn't even know what you were mad about. I guess I'll just say this and leave it at this... We are humans. Humans write fiction that appeals to emotions and concerns other humans share. Making characters relatable to other humans (ie the...

This is the kind of crap that gets Hasbro on Elon's radar! Also good job! They played a bad trailer full of cringe MCU humour in space, meaning the broadcast will get picked up by the aliens just a little bit sooner. No wonder they never stop to say hi.

The movie? No, but the marketing was bad. Almost no buzz, and the first trailer made the movie look horrid. The second trailer was better, but with a non-existent advertising campaign that first trailer is going to set the tone among general audience sorts, and it was a terrible first impression.

I can't remember but maybe 1992-1993? I would have been 5-6. I was a G2 kid.

IDW1 did establish that Nexus and Onyx made beast headmasters... F'ing thank you!

Yeah, a buddy of mine in the fandom said he found it kind of boring because it told a story he's seen already. Which is fair but it's not necessarily for us. It's for general audience sorts who aren't familiar with all of this stuff. If only more of them saw it 😭

Watched TFO again with my fiancé after Thanksgiving. He knows broad stroke stuff about Transformers but not much else. Anyway when D-16 goes "I! AM! MEGATRON!" my better half goes "wait HE'S Megatron?" And it was so hard not to laugh 😛 But it's fun to see how people not neck deep in this...

I teach a high school creative writing elective, that post speaks to my soul

A thirteen-year-old boy would certainly see no issues with murdering the one girl so the important badass dudes can get on with the epic war!

Everyone complaining about Hasbro's build quality now is gonna be longing for these days once Musk is running things. Source: the Cybertruck is a sad disaster of an automobile

Yeah I remembered seeing that bit about Optimus being part of Prima and A3's lineages and getting a bit confused when I found out Optimus was the Thirteenth. I think what happened is kind of mundane. If you look at the Thirteen back when the list was "canonized" just over half were...

I'd say so! Yeah I'll co-sign this. I think about how ancient cultures treated their mythologies. There was a broad over-arching story, status quo, and cast of characters everyone agreed on, but different storytellers and sub-culture groups told their own versions of these stories, and they...
