A new random thread

It's just the whole 'Michael Bay is raping my childhood!' bullshit that's been going on has reached my saturation point. I've had it with whiners who think that simply because he didn't turn the original G1 series premiere into a live-action movie, the movies are 'horrendous' and 'not like transformers!"

...

Generation one was one of the better cartoons of the eighties and still in some respects holds up reasonably well today, but in others it's aged worse than moldy bread left on the countertop. Carbombia anyone???

I see.

The movies are horrendous, but for reasons other than that.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

If you're gonna criticize something, criticize it based on its own flaws, not on how it compares to a cartoon series twenty-three years old when the first movie came out. That's all I'm saying.

Some [insert random fandom here] fans are f***ing idiots.

That's more accurate.

[Sionnach Glic]

Indeed. Every fandom has its idiots.

Hell, when the new Trek movie came out there were plenty of people pulling the exact same "ZOMG, my childhood is forever ruined!" line. And from what I've heard the same thing happened when the new Galactica first came out. You get it whenever a remake is launched. Some people just don't like change.

And some of them run websites and visit other websites to bitch about it...

Yeah. Some guy registered specifically to post a link to a forum containing his review about it.

[Reliant121]

I always find their presumption that we actually give a shit is rather amusing.

[Sionnach Glic]

Yeah. Some guy registered specifically to post a link to a forum containing his review about it.

This guy wouldn't by any chance happen to have the username "Desert Spiral" or something similar, would he?

The original Transformers, while certainly my favorite, wasn't exactly perfect. Hell, Megatron was a metal transformer that transformed into a handgun????? WTF sense does that make, really? Aside from the obvious mass issues, how useful was that? His transformed self needed to be fired by one of his people.

Its my heart warming personality that brings them along.

I can't remember, I'd have to dig through the ST XI forum for the topic. I do remember the utter savaging we gave his review. 8)

Meh, subspace. I still roll my eyes at the giant purple griffin.

[lcpl seilicki]

in retrospect soundwave was the most improbable to me because of the cassette tape transformers that he would pop out, it seemed like he had like 12 in him at once

[Tyyr]

Yeah but those casette tape transformers were some of the coolest toys.

Wait, he was here?

[Captain Seafort]

I think he's talking about Bernd.
