?? You must be referring to Frenzy. SW was a satellite in ROTF.
Full shelves = shelfwarming ---yes, I've seen the same exact figs on full & half full shelves for months. NOT selling.
On whoring out -- the lame hollywood formula of very snazzy cars and lingerie models/ slutty chicks --just blatant eye candy with no depth to sell tickets and toys. All I'm asking for is just a little more character depth for the bots + cons. We care about THEM -- not the &*%&^*$&*% humans. The humans for that matter were also shallow characters and could've had at least some technical skill or prowess. Carly and Spike got themselves out of many situations with their wits and mechanical skills. (Ok, Megan Fox displayed some skill in TF1 & painting in ROTF, but Carly?? NOTHING in DOTM!!) The humans were so bland and uninteresting that they couldn't carry the movies themselves. Sick of this 1 dimensional sh*t. I blame Bay the writers & producers for all of this. No reason we couldn't have had action + depth as mentioned in some other threads. More character buildup + proper pacing = not just jump into non-stop fighting for no reason. Great to see action/fighting, but even better when you're really invested into the character.
hope this isn't too rambling - on very low sleep
all I'm asking for at the end of the day, is for the property to be handled with the same amount of care that Marvel has been giving to their staple characters. Is that too much?? Why is this so hard for people to understand?? Any fan of a franchise would want the same thing. And no, I'm not expecting a carbon copy of G1, just much better writing, story and overall execution. Stop being sheep.
