SUPER SPOILERS: DOTM Novelization

Postby Diem » Sat Jun 18, 2011 8:06 pm

Okay, please be warned that this is a conversation only for those who have read the novelization/comic of DOTM or those who don't mind spoilers, because there will be serious spoilers below...





SPOILERS










Okay, I just finished the book and that was insane. The death count for both sides is incredible (though you'll notice there's only one significant human death). The twins appear and die in a vaguely heroic way 5 minutes later? Wheelie helps to save the day? Crankcase dies in a faintly embarrassing fashion? MEGATRON BECOMES A GOOD GUY?!? A Starscream who isn't Armada Starscream actually dies?

I have to say that the scale seems a lot better in this movie. The Decepticons seem like a really credible threat. For a while it almost seems like the Autobots won't win. Weirdly this has made me really excited for the movie. On the other hand Sam seems to still be the same annoying hyperactive dick from the first two movies, not having matured at all.

So what do you guys think?

I read it and loved it. I hope they stick to it as much as they can, and I want to see the Twins in the film just for their death scene. And I think Wheelie and Brains are hilarious. Except Wheelie will do the leg humping. Again. Anyway, I was disappointed that Shockwave wasn't in the story very much, just at the beginning and the end. Hopefully he will get more screen time. Same with Megatron. This seems to be a story of Optimus vs. Sentinel. I never got into the character of Sentinel, so that's kind of a bummer. I was really hoping it would be Optimus and Megatron vs. Shockwave and Sentinel. And it seems Sam's parents are only in it for a few moments, and they manage to thoroughly embarrass him anyway.

Overall, it's probably the most action packed and fastest moving of the 3 films, but I wouldn't put it above the first film. The book was good, though I hoped for a prequel just like the previous 2...

loved it... and oddly my least favorite character was Sentinal. I did like how soome of the novel was told through Optimus Primes mind, really gave it emotional depth... so far its my favorite of the three.

MEGATRON BECOMES A GOOD GUY?!?


I'll wear my asbestos, lead lined suit for when the fans found out about that. The ensuing cries of RuinedFOREVER!!! will be beyond our comprehension.

The awkwardness is that Optimus really comes off as a self-centered dick in the last scene.

He doesn't really become a good guy. He just decides to help Optimus in the end. Because even he admits, Sentinel could have and would have kicked the shit out of him.

Megatron becoming a semi-good guy is kind of old news to me. It takes me back when he's fought alongside and had truces with Optimus Prime in the old comics and cartoons. So it's not really a huge bummer when I found out about this.

Haven't read the book but I've picked up a few spoilers by now so nothing here was too bad.

In this continuity at least, it kinda makes sense for Megatron's changed, I think he's the only Megatron who was once a legitimate Decepticon who turned into the Megatron we know. The rest were already pretty crazy, though I may be missing some.

I think it makes most sense for this Megatron because, ever since he got to Earth, nothing has really gone right for him. Giving up and wanting to go back to Cybertron is the logical conclusion anyone would come to.

But in this case it's not just "team up against a common foe", Megatron actually decides to try for peace even if he has to fight his fellow 'Cons for it.
