I'm aware. However, further remarks about the films including the belief that new fans should immediately disregard or be forced to change their opinions are ill informed and uncalled for. If new fans love the films, then so be it. Harboring the belief they need to be "steered the right way" is wrong.
I don't hate the films, and I appreciate the positives that they have done for the brand. I just don't find them to be the best representations of the Transformers. If others like them, very well.
But, answer me this honestly. The fight/chase/action scenes, the explosions, the eye candy, the etc. can all be considered the icing on the cake, right? Well, take away the icing, leaving only just the cake, and what all is left of the films to consist of the cake?
I've one other question after this, but it depends on what this answer to this is.
I see, well thanks for better explaining your viewpoint. I disagree that the films are shallow compared to the rest of Transformers but I can respect your opinion.

A true Transformers experience is one you enjoy. That's as simple as you can put it.
