There may have been. Social media wasn't what it is now back when Superman Returns was happening, which was the first Superman movie post-Reeve. It was even a bit tricky because Returns was set up as a sequel to the first two Reeve movies, so Brandon Routh wasn't just playing Superman he was...

It wouldn't even be the weirdest continuity question in the Bayverse.

That's always been a problem with modern G1 Megatron designs. His G1 robot mode has a lot of bits that are clearly Walther P-38 parts. His legs are clearly halves of a grip, his fusion cannon is clearly the scope from the Man from UNCLE add-ons. He's got the barrel just hanging off his back. His...

It's the weird situation of pre-and post-death of a respected icon. I think everyone knew that as Cullen got older he needed to step down from the role for some projects and that it was ok if different projects went for someone else. That Neil Kaplan and Gary Chalk also existed did help with...

The one common complaint seemed to be that he got a bit stilted once he became Optimus and was trying to affect a Cullen-like delivery. Still, one imagines that if he were to get more chances to voice the character that he'd settle into the role and make it his own. New Bond actors are always a...

I agree. Look, we all appreciated the heck out of Peter Cullen and we're going to miss him but the people going "we need to retire Optimus Prime now that he's dead" are just... something else. He didn't even have a monopoly on the role while he was alive and active in the industry. It's ok if...

WHAT OUTRAGEOUS BARBARISM!

Yes that's the one, but that's a horrible markup. IIRC they sold for ~$25 when they were current, but the line is dead so ofc scalpers gonna scalp. I got mine off of eBay for ~$30 so I'd poke around there. A deal will pop up eventually.

The Whigs? What balderdash. Everyone knows that a proper cultured gentleman can only support the Pittites! That would have been very cool.

Ahhh

I feel like this is a reference I'm not getting.

I wanted to touch on the notion of Optimus Prime Awakening being tied to this line... one of the lines the entity says to Optimus is that if the Decepticons were defeated there would just be more conflict via different enemies. And that does mesh very well with this line's "backstory." The...

I genuinely don't see them doing an AI Cullen voice. The outrage from the fandom would be so white hot it would leave any project dead in the water. And given how TF movies have struggled to find an audience lately, they can't really afford to alienate the few people who are still willing to see...

Put this un-hatted head from my Classified Action Man pick-up on my custom James Bond, and I think it worked out quite well.

I was prepared to hate that movie's Skelator because of Leto but G-ddamnit, they made it work. Very true.

Yeah. The Target SS '86 Insecticons are just Hasbro's release of the Takara DCS Insecticons. So I suspect Reflector will just be that again, the DCS deco. Siege Reflector wasn't very Siege-y anyway. He didn't have the battle damaged paint, and he's not nearly as greebled as a lot of other...

As with all things, a trend in pop culture got popular and then it got overdone, there was burnout, and the previous way of doing things became retroactively appreciated more. In this case, I think the tipping point in broader pop culture may have been the Disney Cruella de Vil movie, where the...
