No f'n wonder the movie writers decided to say screw it to using Furman as a resource for the plot. (Although, despite that, we still had a pretty plot-crappy movie. Wow, us TF fans are extremely challenged in finding good writers.)

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING??? Furman is one of the best writers that the TF community has. And this is is completely in comic context, continuity, & canon. Go read Escalation & Devastation & make a comment like this again.Autobot420 wrote:Yeah sure Furman is a crappy writer and George W Bush is a good president.
QFT. You win the thread.
Grimshock wrote:I completely understand that it is in keeping with his prior material. What I'm saying is that it is all junk and none of it makes for official canon. Just because Furman writes it, doesn't mean it's factual that Sunstreaker and Hunter O'nion are a Headmaster combo. That's just horrible writing. (Also, agree that O'nion is about the stupidest name I have ever come across for a character. But, again, not surprised, it's Furman after all.)
Grimshock wrote:Side note: It is amazing how there are always such weak points made against the person when there is someone who disagrees with the majority. Actually, I think Bush is a terrible president. One of the worst ever. You didn't take the time to learn about my opinion on that, but, yet, use it to argue against me. Anyway, this is very, very common in these threads.

But... Hunter ONION!!??
Makes the name Sparkplug Witwicky seem positively normal by comparison!

Riiiiiiiight. Let's not forget that Furman created much of the canon we hold dear, such as Grimlock being a badass (and not comic relief).
You might not like Furman's writing style, but you can't deny that at the very least he gives us well-rounded and thought-out characters, with motivations and depth, as opposed to say, the cartoon and certain Marvel writers of the past, who gaves us nothing more than interchangable, generic characterisations.
Personally, I love Furman, and I loved this.
Go Simon!
