Then, you need to watch Season 3 of Cyberverse.Ironhidensh wrote:I was really hoping for something new and different. Not just the same old Great War blah blah blah..... maybe something along the lines of MTMTE or even RiD2015.
I knew better, of course, but I was hoping all the same. Yes, this looks pretty decent, and I might even enjoy it, but it isn’t what I wanted.
Ah well, life goes on.

I should hope not. This is the War for Cybertron. The lame comic relief humour of certain TF series of old would be horribly out of place, tonally speaking. There shouldn't be any guffaws at this stage in their history.

Cheers. I'll drink to that, bro.
As for me, I want to go in with as little expectation as possible. I've found that too much hype can kill my satisfaction with something.
I'm also going to be as controversial as possible by saying that I'm a-ok with (pre and post) Great War content for Transformers.
In other words, you don't want this show have any positive emotions or uplifting bright spots at all. No optimism, no hope, no happiness, no charm, no likability, no reassurance, no inspiration, no friendliness, no nothing. Just nothing but misery, depression, anger, hatred, sullenness, sorrow, angst, vengeance, pain, suffering, mourning, death, distress, grief, agony, anxiety, tortture, psychosis, loathing, etc.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:"Levity" does not automatically equal "comic relief".AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hopefully there will be some levity in that to counterbalance all the turmoil of warfare.

Historically, in Transformers in general we know it does. Typically every TF series is at it's best when it acknowledges that war isn't funny. The Movie being the first time G1 lived upto that idea. MTMTE/LL or the Japanaes dub of Beast Wars, being where the very idea was completely bastardised. The fact that this show is going to be on Netflix only lends credence to the idea this won't have to go down that road, just to please TV standards groups.
What would you rather see more focus on? Five Faces of Darkness or B.O.T.? Code of Hero or The Low Road? Animated Season Three or Car Robots? Last Stand of The Wreckers or IDWverse 2.0?

You're the only one who said anything about fart jokes.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Maturity and levity are not mutually exclusive themes. I must have missed that part in every single war story ever told.
Nor is friendship, optimism or likeability et al absent from a compelling War narrative. To humanise war through fiction, is to explore the good and the bad. Guffaws and fart jokes cheapen whatever merit the narrative might have in the telling of such stories. There to patronise an audience deemed ill-equipped to cope with a more adult narrative.

I saw plenty of comments to this shows trailer stating variations on "I want the OG voices back" Which is the biggest problem to Transformers. This isn't the original show. Let it go. Everything from Beast Wars to Cyberverse, wherein do they hit their stride? When they leave the shackles of G1 behind. Such reverence to the original series, nearly 40 years on, is only toxic at this point.
The best Transformers shows of the past don't have to be lightning in a bottle. The Evergreen fetish makes them so.
How can there be another contemporary Transformers show with the outdated shadow of the 80's lurching ever present over it? Beast Wars to Unicron Trilogy to Prime. They all wore their era with pride. They pay lip service to what came before, but don't get bogged down in trying to replicate it.
