It's neat to see Disney doing something so High Fantasy, with unique mystical creatures, warring kingdoms, and (seemingly) chosen hero destinies. Especially one that isn't curtailed in Fairy Tale fantastical lightness, or deliberately entrenched in a specific culture (just general East Asia, in this case).

Alot of SEA people seems to complain that they kinda diluted all the cultures in Raya by mixing them together. Avatar probably did it better.

Here's someone trying to breakdown what cultures specifically.

Basically, the entire South East Asia will gang up on any foreigner who misrepresents or try to do something weird with their culture. Another recent example is when a British cooking show judge complaints that a woman's chicken rendang (a type of curry) is "not crispy". Which is like telling an Italian their pizza is not crunchy.

I want to see if there’s any correlation between people who claim Asian sweets (eg: ones with redbean paste) aren’t sweet enough, and people who’ve had their entire concept of sweetness destroyed by eating/drinking corn syrup products their entire lives

The diet plans of an entire generation of Asians was ruined by people sharing articles about how bread is bad for them, not knowing those are usually based on research from America where people are confused if bread is not sweet.

Did I just miss it in all the CG or are there no Decepticons, Predacons, or anything actually indicating what the antagonists are in this movie?

Although the director claimed that Decepticons and Predacons will be in this movie, so far only the three Terrorcon characters have been revealed as villains. You can see their leader Scourge holding Bumblebee by the throat in the trailer, along with the robot mode of Battletrap (he has the kinda boxy torso) in the big battle near the end of the trailer, and the Nissan Skyline mode of Nightbird in one of the chase scenes.

I realize they're sized up so they can be the size of Optimus and the other Transformers, and they're more robotic because they're Bayformers, but I kinda wish the beasts looked more like... y'know, animals in their beast modes. That Primal doesn't look like a gorilla that turns into a robot, it looks like a robot gorilla that turns into a humanoid robot

The problem is that the original Beast Wars character did not have to interact with the vehicle characters while also looking like they're roughly the same size as the local wildlife. This even got added to the lore where the Predacons and Maximals have upgraded and smaller energy-efficient bodies compared to Autobots and Decepticons. They were also in prehistoric times so disguising were not the reason for beast modes, but instead they were radiation shielding. However, in later stories where the Beast Wars characters are just another type of Transformers that coexist with the vehicle characters, the size difference would be too much work to explain and made interaction difficult. So beast characters just transform into giant animals.

Being a dinosaur fanatic since I was a child, I seriously think of this Jack Horner before the nursery rhyme.

PiB2 Jack Horner is just great. John Mulaney just delivered every one of his lines perfectly. He also looks like a One Piece villain so that's a plus.

Horner's motivation to control all magic because Pinocchio upstaged him once just feels very Elon Musk.

One background detail I found really funny: Gepetto in shades stacking coins while Pinocchio performs.

The Thundercats Roar crossover with TTG felt much more meaningful to me knowing that the Michael Jelenic was also the co-creator of Thundercats 2011. Knowing he's working on Mario Bros makes me extra excited for it.

I also love the shrimp-cooking guy Berto played by Jelenic's late father.
