Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
I'm just conditioned to have low expectations when it comes to the live action stuff. It's definitely been more miss than hit. Add to it what I've read so far regarding the story, and this thing is DOA. It'll probably look good though. But like the saying goes, it's gonna be all sizzle, no steak.First-Aid wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Not a chance, if we go by the director's previous remarks.

Is there anyone on this site more cynical than you, RP?

Would have happened if more people had liked and accepted Beast Machines just the way it was, instead of whining and claiming that it "ruined Beast Wars FOREVER!!"First-Aid wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:To each his/her own.

The Car Robots toyline also being out at the same time in Japan and appealing to the Western fandom's Geewun nostalgia certainly didn't help things for Beast Machines.First-Aid wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Would have happened if more people had liked and accepted Beast Machines just the way it was, instead of whining and claiming that it "ruined Beast Wars FOREVER!!"First-Aid wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:To each his/her own.

I think that was when the serious whininess of the fandom began. I remember the whole Trukk not Munkey thing, but that was when people started acting like entitled little turds. Beast Machines is my wife's second favorite TF series (Prime is her fave). She felt like she was a able to connect with the characters more.

As a big fan of Beast Wars, I was disappointed in Beast Machines. I didn't like the character designs, most of the characters themselves, or their development through the story. They got a couple of things right, such as Megatron and his dynamic with Optimus, as well as the ending of the story. But I felt I had to sit through too much junk time and story to get to it. I watched it once in 2009, don't care to see it ever again.

Probably would have been a bit more appealing to children.Sabrblade wrote:On a related note, people wish that ROTB Optimus Primal had more color besides grey, light gray, dark gray, and gray black. Well, imagine just how colorful his movie model would have been if he had been colored like this (source credit link):
