Then we get to season 2, which is just a long series of stupid, incoherent bullsh*t that completely throws continuity out of a window and then goes out and finishes it off by beating it with a baseball bat and shooting it's vital organs 3 times each organ! I apologize if that was too morbid for you, but that's the only way I feel I can properly communicate my hatred for season 2. Season 3 was definitely better than season 2, but was still pretty flawed. Some dumb episodes, lack of characters who survived the movie showing up, and Wheelie and Daniel. I'm not even going into the train wreck that is The Rebirth three-parter. Just forget it exists and watch the Japanese Headmasters series, it's much more well put together than The Rebirth.

But see, this is just YOUR opinion. You'd be hard pressed NOT to find someone who grew up with it that DOESN'T acknowledge its faults.
What you're not seeing though, those of us who grew up with it? We're adults, we deal with work, with paying bills, families ... you know what G1 does for us? Despite its flaws, it reminds us of simple, less stressful times.
You call them Nostalgia Goggles? It's an okay name, but for me, an 80's cartoon that had animation errors and was nothing more than an extended TV commercial to sell toys, well ... that's a reminder of a simpler time in life.

No way was it a bad idea mate. It prompts discussion! It got me out of my funk and posting.

Sabrblade wrote:The only complaint that I can sympathize with is Megatron's sudden hatred for his beast mode (because it was organic-based) making no sense, as it really doesn't make sense since he never showed such disdain towards organic beast modes beforehand and we never got to see how he came to be in that new mindset. Plus, he went to all the trouble he went through in "Master Blaster" to get his dragon beast mode, and embraced it for how powerful it was, so for him to suddenly want to get rid of it because of its being "unclean" really did not make much sense at all.
