burning_sirius wrote:Ugh, well now this is an ultra long internet comment. You don't have to agree with it. This is just how I feel the show missed the mark on reviewing Regen One.
burning_sirius wrote:"Optimus left Earth alone for 21 years for no reason" Do you guys even know Marvel Optimus? He was very guilty over what the Transformers did to Earth and when Primus teleported them back to Cybertron he basically promised the Neo-Knights never to return. Period. For all Optimus knew, all the transformers were on Cybertron (given Primus teleported them all there it was a safe assumption).
burning_sirius wrote:He also became super introspective and was grooming Hot Rod to succeed him.
burning_sirius wrote:I feel like all these critiques are not treating the Marvel G1 as its own beast and viewing the comic through the Transformers metanarrarive. I haven't even gotten through much more of the podcast.
burning_sirius wrote:The Deathbringer (evil matrix creature) was a real thing and was a bone for UK Marvel fans to gnaw on because they felt left out given Furman said that he wasn't going to include Marvel UK as canon.
burning_sirius wrote:Shockwave, Starscream and Ravage are redeemed... so what. Don't they deserve a happy ending after all they went through?
burning_sirius wrote:Okay, I had to stop listening when you all said that Rodimus became Botanica. The demons became cocoons. The cocoons survived those millions of years until Rodimus finally kicked the bucket. The Matrix energy in him was unleashed and was channeled into the cocoons and they emerged as the next generation of Transformers. Yeah, it is an explanation of Beast Wars. It explains why no Transformers from G1 survive in that era.
burning_sirius wrote:You all admitted to just skimming the book and not reading it in depth. Go back and reread the whole series in depth and you will pick up on those themes.

Seibertron wrote:Ok, I have to clarify the last couple of comments because I don't think ScottyP or myself skimmed through the book. I know I didn't. I came up straight from the comic store, sat down in my work chair and read through every panel.

It's not on iTunes yet. Have to give it 24 hours for it to display.

Banjo-Tron wrote:Hmmm, I have conflicted opinions about Regeneration One. Was it a mistake to resurrect the original series? I don't know. The pace of modern comics is absurd. I feel like all 20 issues of the run would have taken up about 5 original issues. I blame narrative decompression. The stories felt a bit rushed and un-focused. I hated the fact that my favourite UK story arcs were removed from canon. But... it still resonated with me. I felt a little choked when Rodimus was dying, knowing that all others had died too. I appreciate the attempt to rationalise Beast Wars, and the complete lack of any characters from the G1 era (ravage and starscreams ghost excepted) in that timeline has now been explained. Also, I'm not sure why 21 years is the focus of anyone's ire. It is but a blink of an eye for aliens who live millions of years.
The reason was because Furman wanted to tell the story that he wanted to tell from where he left off with issue #80, and Generation 2 would have interfered with that, so he omitted it.MR Optimus Prime wrote:Can someone please explain to me why the Generation 2 story line was skipped over? I guess that's why I got a bit confused at first when I started reading this. I had no idea Generation 2 was being skipped over.

I know there's quite a few Star Wars fans who go for the really high end prop replicas, pewter statues, and glassware but thumb their noses at the toys. That's just an example that came to my mind, I'm sure there are other collectors like that in other fandoms.

I've been considering getting one but have nowhere to display it - apparently in our living room copious amounts of cushions and throws are ok, whereas amazingly sculpted and detailed renditions of my childhood heroes are not. Women eh.

Well sometimes you have to do what YOU want. Every once in a while it doesn't matter what the other person wants and they should just be made to deal with it.
