[Movie] Transformers Movie (07-04-07)

I fucking hate this thread.

All I see is whining over the fact that Optimus Prime isn't the same truck as he was in the original series. Throw in a buch of waah over the fact that it doesn't exactly replicate a television show made for children. Who the fuck cares? It's a movie. It's supposed to be an alternate interpretation of Transformers. If I wanted fucking G1, I would buy the season DVDs.

(Why go to the trouble of perfectly replicating G1 Prime in full scale and not even use it?)

Are you blind, or something? That's isn't "perfectly replicating G1 Prime", nor was it anything more than an advertisement.

Quote:

Everyone knows that G1 Prime is a red flatnose semi, and nothing else.

Everyone knows you're a shitstain and nothing else.

The entire premise behind making this movie was to make it G1-based.

G1-based. Not G1. Watch your shitty cartoon if you want G1.

Quote:

Oh great, so he finds the more obscure toy versions of Prime and posts them up, and he thinks he knows something. Seriously what neanderthalic cave did YOU crawl from? Did these versions have massively popular cartoon series that they were in, which appealed to generations over two decades? (Answer: No... btw... just in case you still don't get it)

Why do you Media Centre shitstains always have to bring up irrelevant shit? The point is that the character of Optimus Prime can be adapted to something other than "flat-nosed red truck", and has been. "Neanderthalic cave"? Who fuck are you trying to impress?

Lawl at "appealed to generations over two decades". No. It's just the same robot fags that haven't grown up. When I was young, kids cared about Optimus Primal. Kids now care about Armada, Energon, and Cybertron's Optimus Prime, not some guy from a shitty '80s cartoon.

IT'S A FUCKING TRUCK.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You're still overreacting on the basis of your preconceived notions of a fictional character in a '80s cartoon. It's a piece of fiction that you and a mass of thirty-year-old children are getting too personal with. While we're on this point, the "THE FANS THE FANS THE FANS" shit doesn't work on me because the great majority of them are fucking retards who still haven't gotten over the fact that Transformers is primarily for children. You can't really expect me to give a shit about their opinion.

The insults don't work if you're trying too hard, by the way. "Maw of stupidity that is your mouth" No.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm not sure how the presence of previous retarded whining makes the whining over flames on a truck any less retarded.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Is that really the best you can do? "u dum troll bigot!" =/

I was speaking idiomatically.

Face the reality of what? That flames on a truck doesn't jolt with your perceptions of a fictional character and that you're getting too whiny over it? Mostly Mobius One, but whatever.

The existence of differing classes of people who like Transformers is irrelevant to the discussion, since those other groups aren't sobbing incessantly over flames on a truck instead of enjoying or disliking the movie for what it is. I collect the fucking toys myself and frequent Transformers message boards. I freely admit that I haven't grown up much in relation with toys. Yet, I'm not threatening to disown the movie for not being a utterly slavish recreation of G1. When I watch the movie, it'll be good or suck on its own merits, not via comparison with a cartoon twenty years ago. If the movie truly sucks, flames on a truck will be the least of its problems.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You are capable to determining whether this movie is bad by determining whether they're carbon copies of designs from one specific era of Transformers or not?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What is the requirement for something to be "Transformers", again? They're robots that change into other stuff based on toys made by Hasbro and/or Takara. That's been the only unifying thread throughout the years. Beast Wars is Transformers. Robots in Disguise is Transformers. Cybertron is Transformers. The movie is Transformers, regardless of whether it matches with what you believe a movie based on a '80s cartoon should be.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Decepticons are getting the more alien and monstorous forms in contrast with the more humanoid Autobots, which I like. It furthers the dichotomy beyond "I'm a car, so I'm an Autobot" (which they threw out when they introduced the Stunticons, anyway).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No, not really. The ones you're referring to are stand-alone characters who are cultural icons. Transformers always has a bunch of characters, none of which are at the same level of Superman. If anything, they're more comparable to X-Men, who had their costumes altered for the movies.

Quote:

Not that it really matters, since this isn't Transformers, much like Godzilla wasn't Godzilla even if they called it that.

Again, Godzilla is a single character. There is nothing in Transformers that's consistent other than the fact that they're robots who change into other stuff.

Are you even reading my posts? There were Transformers after 1990. The only elements they shared were names, and that there were two groups of robots that change into other shit that fought each other. What makes this movie any different?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Christ, you stupid fuck. Beast Wars didn't have humans and didn't take on animal forms to blend in. Beast Machines was entirely on Cybertron and didn't blend in with anything. You even shoot yourself in the foot by having War Within Prime in your post, who didn't blend in with anything. Transformers is more than G1, you fucking retard.

How ya doing, buddy?

Have you even watched the fucking cartoon recently? Autobots in lab coats to hide by Humans? "B.O.T."?

It's a fucking '80s cartoon. There's absolutely no character development. Beast Wars was pretty much the best Transformers ever got, if only for the fact that characters actually developed and Megatron wasn't a whiny dumbass.

This is all irrelevant to the fact that you both are pretending that nothing after 1990 happened.

Shut the fuck up and stop being a sissy.

I just barely caught Michael in between takes. Among the things he mentioned:

1- They will be releasing more teaser posters in the coming months.

2- Paramount made studies and concluded that the TF "ANNOUNCEMENT" was the 2nd highest rated "teaser" this summer.

3.- They just finished shooting a lot of Pentagon interiors on a soundstage in scenes that involved many Chiefs of staff in their huge war room.

4.- Shia just was recently suspended over the edge of a 20 story building in a very dynamic and intense scene.

5.- The average transformation time from normal mode to alt mode and vice versa is about 3 to 4 seconds.

6.- The leaked pictures are legit (although a somewhat early rendering).

7.- Filming of massive chase scenes will begin in the following weeks.

8.- The CGI transformations by ILM are looking wicked and nastier every single day.

9.- Part 1 will be about why the transformers came to earth.

10.- This movie will be a new start for the live action franchise that will not be based on any particular TF TV series and/or comic book.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The only problem with Megatron is that he's pretty bland. There needs to be something hanging off him, like wings, or a cannon.

It's better than what Japan's offically getting.

Two warring factions of robots that change shape come to Earth. Only real difference is that the movie's sticking to ROBOT FIGHT FIGHT instead of the retarded plots that the old show came up with.

It's a '80s cartoon, not the high art that you're furiously masturbating to.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's not about making quality (which Transformers never was). It's about making money.
