If your own father who loved and cared for you suddenly turned on you, then that makes it right for you to kill him? Terrible analogy, man.

If your guardian figure turned against you to team up with " the bully at school" . It tore him on the inside that's all. Optimus was conveying emotion and optimus probably lost trust in Sentinal and avenged Ironhides death.

That's the problem with most people in this debate, on both sides. It baffles them that someone has an opinion different than theirs.Sub-Prime wrote:A fight breaks out only to hear Megatron scream retreat would piss me off while watching it. It's illogical!
It's illogical to have a retreat ordered in a battle when you know you're going to lose? You would rather continue the fight and send all your soldiers to their deaths? Man, I hope no squad will let you strategize a fight for them, much less lead them into battle, you'd get them all killed!
Not everyone wants that. G1 ain't the end all be all for non-Movie Transformers.Sub-Prime wrote:You fail to grasp my point so let me explain it well. In G1 there were plenty of battles waged and nobody died.That's what folks want for the movies.
Would that really be so bad, considering that this is a kids toy brand anyway?Sub-Prime wrote:A more kid inspired type movie!
Show me a time in human history where battles were something endearing and entertaining, rather than grotesque and bitter, to watch. Especially considering that these robots are trying to sell toys to grade schoolers.Sub-Prime wrote:Show me a time in human history where battles were waged and had no casualties? Especially considering these robots have deadly weaponry.

Hmm, well, those could get pretty graphic and bloody too, but then that's what a lot of those events' spectators went there to see (as sickminded as that sounds), so the waters might be a bit muddied (or bloodied ) on that one.ZeroWolf wrote:To be fair sarblade what about the gladiator battles of Rome?

It strikes me as though these films are afraid of seeming even remotely like something for kids or nerds, trying to be as dark and edgy as they can get, like an insecure male teenager who arbitrarily condemns anything cute or silly as a shallow means to assert his manhood and "maturity".ZeroWolf wrote:However you are right, which was a point I was trying to make last page.

Disney and Pixar film... fail epically... Such strange words you speak.Sub-Prime wrote:I can't beleive you guys want TF movies to feel like a Disney and Pixar film..lol. That's when these movies will fail epically.

Planes wasn't Pixar, and exists only as a cheap cashgrab rather than as anything decent.Sub-Prime wrote:Cartoon movies can fail too. I think Planes failed at the box office.
Clearly it has been a while since you've seen any Disney/Pixar film.Sub-Prime wrote:But I can only imagine a TF film in a Disney/Pixar style where both the bots and cons barely have any real conflict for the sake of the children in the audience.
