Transformers 31

Suuuure was an issue.

Sure was

Hey its my feeling about Skybound

a woman is holding a puppy in her arms and says i 've only had arto for a day and a half ALT: a woman is holding a puppy in her arms and says i 've only had arto for a day and a half

Where my brain went

I loves that cause it had that moment where the experienced mother comes up and says ill fix it and realises you can't use the same methods for every child

It says so much about the quality of the story telling that I know there's the flash forward scene and yet im still going "nothing is guaranteed in this show. It could be retconned"

You didn't love him enough

I appreciate so much im the modern climate

Im literally drafting the wiki trivia section today 🤣

That and Fang's am i the asshole face

That made me laugh

Its a g1 redesign so its the only stuff I care about atm so I need it now please 🤣

Im still very tempted to do kinda a live play reread of akybound and highlighting the stuff i liked but really dig into why I really do not think this has been a strong few years.

Like

I genuinely don't particularly care for DWJ or Kirkman as writers and I feel vindicated atm.

Yup

Also

Can every just be happy at the end

Come on Genndy!

Ive no problem with her as an anti villain. But dont tell me shes right

I liked the recent issue and then I started thinking and im...

The issue literally says the xenophobic person who doesn't reaaaaally care if they kill a planet...is the best leader for the good guys

Im enjoying nit a lot.

Realised that each season has a completely distinct narrative structure

How have we had no updates on whale Shockwave?

Where is Shockwhale

CONFLICTED

Don't usually draw attention to random things people say online but look i found an actual crazy person

Way he. And was judgemental.

Stupid bloody phone

Maybe the multimillionaire 80 something year old has been told he's special one too many times for me to find him relatable anymore.

Compared to everything I've seen from the other Optimus actors and honestly the consistent quality of their performances...yeah I lost the love for Mr. Cullen

The maybe spoke was so dismissive of the work and judgemental. And then his response to someone shouting he's the only real optimis...disregarding decades of other actors.

For many that was when they soured on Knight because of Cullen. For me it was when I soured on Cullen

A lot in that which put my hackles up

Just makes me think of how Cullen is held on a pedestal. Which for me was undermined by some of his post bumblebee comments. Nothing close to what happened with Furuya but reminding me where the term fan comes from

But tbf i think skybound has been too in love with carnage from day one. So for me its more symptomatic than an anomaly. This is just the most blatant "come back next month" moment

His son then say "id still have you dad" that would be seen globally as disgusting.

I think violence as a tool is vital in a narrative but I think we tolerate it in a way we dont tolerate other forms of abuse in media.

MTMTE and RID era were very violent. But I never felt it was so...distasteful

Im a massive automotive megatron/villain redeemer fan. But that's not high concept "what if the bad guy felt bad". That's a real thing that happens in the real world. Like...uncomfortable example but if he hadn't nearly beaten him to death but sexually assaulted him to prove a point and we had

I dont love the design either tbh but I think (and complete bias here) in IDW Phase 2 Arcee being Magnus would have been a full issue that really delves into what it means to be Magnus. Like...beyond a title and new body why the vision quest? Why is this not just a promotion? Why do Magnuses matter?

I mean I have to admit the I still have you dad grosses me out. Because that's a father that just beat his son into near unconsciousness. And I dont like he gets the arc he gets. Its not a comic villain redemption. Its a comic version of a very real issue that needed defter hands

To use a transformers specific example.

This page here? This exists for a purpose. It highlights something valuable. Its not there to just shock and to make sure you come back next month.
