I'm guessing Amazon ain't contributing much to the poster fund. With the letters in different colours, the logo looks like a Spike Lee joint.

The Last Knight did even more of that. I doubt anyone analyzed the actual movie, but the trailer used eight ratios. https://imgur.com/r/movies/XjhBCtN

One of the earlier movies also had a sequence where he had his life saved by his former nemesis, who suggests a truce to defeat a greater evil. And then right afterwards he just outright murders that nemesis in cold blood, in a ludicrously graphic fashion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRap3nust0E&t=503s These movies have a very weird outlook on their "heroic" protagonist.

If you haven't seen the Bay Transformers movie you really, really should because they're loving insanely awesome in how they make absolutely no effort in painting Optimus as anything other than a psychopathic murdering monster. It's pretty great. Like the very first thing he does when he meets his creator is attack her with a sword and yell "I'll kill you!"

It works best as a slow build towards how truly despicable Optimus Prime becomes in 3 and 4, but I can't in good conscience recommend Revenge of the Fallen to anyone. Dark of the Moon is really good though.

Optimus is legit cruel and psychopathic at times in the live action movies, it's up for debate how much of that is intentional and mow much is it them just making him do "cool stuff" and not thinking how it starts to add up. The dude is obsessed with his weapons in DotM and he 90% of the time does something to the enemies face.

Michael Bay is the perfect fit for Transformers because he has the gleeful, hyperactive sociopathy of a young boy.

They apparently haven't reached the breakpoint yet.

"Transformers Age of Extinction" also features one of the heroic Autobots encountering a caged alien on a spaceship. He taunts it, it spits in his face, he shoots its head off and calls its corpse a "bitch." The entire movie is a Super Bowl commercial for despair.

I'd guess it's intentional. The dude whose come closest to defeated Optimus had his face turn into a giant gun. They know what they are doing. Optimus and Sam were both brought back wrong.

It's incredible that there's any confusion about this, Bay's Optimus is a Marshall Law-type lunatic, screaming about freedom and saluting the flag while he splits someone from rear end in a top hat to appetite with a gigantic sword.

I stuck through two seasons almost entirely on the strength of the crazy frantic pilot but the show itself is astoundingly boring and loves to squander a great cast and some cool ideas on a bunch of wheel-spinning interpersonal drama.

Zedd posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzQMNxee_wg&t=259s I wonder if this scene would play out the same in a Bay movie. I'm kinda disappointed that the live action Transfomers movies have been such whirling garbage that I don't think any kids will enjoy the old movie. Yeah, it's a kids movie, and yeah there are plenty of scenes in it that you could show and say "heh, you call THIS good?", but I'd still argue it's a pretty well put together kids movie and a pretty drat good bit of animation (except by the end since they ran out of time and money  ).

And then he does these films. you're kind of underselling that Robot Chicken sketch tbf, it's about Prime dying of prostate cancer and it's also not overly funny (it's kind of just depressing). like, for as much of an rear end in a top hat as Prime is in the movies, he's at least a pretty entertaining rear end in a top hat, and Cullen gets more to do in those movies than he ever historically has. dude would be stupid not to take the role.

Still bummed out this character is missing her massive disfiguring scar from the books. Can't have the love interest be actually ugly I guess.

On a thematic level it echoed the fact that she was kind of a broken person because she was raised for years by a killer cyborg with a doll collection.

Scars tend to be toned down in live action adaptations, The Comedian and Tyrion also only got some scratches.
