With that big horn growing out of the ground, I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing the Earth is Unicron thing.

I don't think Earth is Unicron. It seems like the wreck of Cybertron is coming to Earth. I'm curious as to whatever reason Anthony Hopkins has for the Transformers to keep turning him on Earth constantly and consistently. Also, it's kind of hilarious how Optimus is all set to go murder his creator-gods but doesn't even seem to make it past Jupiter.

Milky Moor posted:today has been a good day. Who are you quoting there? That is hysterical. The funny thing about people looking up to Optimus is that he's kind of a blank slate in a lot of his incarnations. He looks like a leader and kind of sounds like one, but he never gets out of the archetype mold early on. I kind of like the idea that Bay's Prime is just him if you gave him a Facebook comments section to play around in.

quote:When you think of Transformer’s Bumblebee, Quentin Tarantino probably doesn’t come to mind. The vocally challenged hot-rod has become one of the franchise’s most memorable figures, and Paramount Pictures plans to capitalize on the bot’s popularity with a spin-off film. So far, there are few details out there about the anticipated standalone, but Michael Bay did let it slip that plenty of ideas were pitched for the film, and one of them was decidedly R-rated. ah, yes, an r-rated bumblebee film

It's a shot-for-shot remake of The Brown Bunny, except with Bumblebee as Chloe Sevigny's character.

It's going to be revealed that Cybertron is just Earth in the future, and the Transformers are all descendants of those swarming robots Tucci's character made in the last movie. Bookmark me.

I wonder how those guys that had their names legally changed to Optimus Prime and Megatron feel about these movies.

I like how Bay seems to be learning from the developments of his proteges. I'm getting mad Neill Blomkamp and Jose Padilha vibes.

I'd love to think that Bay would make Optimus the legit villain of a Transformers movie, but I think we all know its just going to be for one fight scene and then he'll be converted back to the good guys Temple of Doom style.

I think that kind of cynicism fails to account for just how suitably loving evil Optimus has always been. The last thing these movies need is some beleaguered speech where he announces he's finally going over to the dark side. "Forgive me" is much more haunting and effective. These movies are just the natural satiric extension of The Iron Giant.

Optimus has said and done some morally questionable things in the series, but Bay has always kept it just subtle enough so that the average person doesn't have to think about that if they don't want to. I'm sure this will be no different, there will be enough plot reasoning to explain why Optimus is temporarily fighting against the Autobots and then he'll be "cured" fairly quickly.

The end of Dark of the Moon wasn't subtle at all and then in the dinosaur one Optimus was an unhinged outlaw tyrant who would say things like "you are free, now follow me or I'll kill you" e: "We're giving you freedom! Now defend my family or die!" General Battuta fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Dec 6, 2016 |

Those lines are still more subtle than having Optimus as the primary antagonist of the story. If Bay actually goes that route than I'll be very impressed, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah, I agree. It's kind of more fun to see what kind of atrocities Optimus will pull as the 'hero' anyway.

This is just a setup for OPtimus to commit some atrocities as a "bad guy" then once he regains control he retaliates by doing even worse poo poo to the actual bad guy. You ever seen a planet get its face ripped off? You're about to.

I can't stop laughing at everything about this movie. These are the weirdest blockbuster movies ever made and I'm not sure they can be topped.

Bay was the reason he made movies. Also here is a very hi-res trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujhjXDYzXUU

I mean the narrative of this thread for these movies focused on faces and then the trailer for the 4th came out and Lockown's face literally turns into a gun. It was pretty loving obvious we're on the right track.
