You sound like a vegan proud to shout he hate meat in a meat thread just because a steak was featured in the news cycle.

Not really - this thread is for discussion of the "Studio Series". That includes all figures made for the Studio Series - including the 86 figures. This thread is not an exclusive dominion for Bayverse fanboys. So I'm afraid you will have to deal with the fact that this thread is not for steak-lovers only, and those who prefer OTHER kinds of food are well within their rights to say so here, so long as they don't make it mean spirited! Likes and dislikes are entirely subjective, and those who like Bayverse movies (and their associated figures) are perfectly free to do so - but that don't mean I have to like 'em. . It doesn't take anything away from the bayverse fans when other people bow out. Just means there will be more Bayverse figures for them to enjoy.

To me, I hardly think the Bayverse films and figures are comparable to a good steak dinner. They're more like goulash, or maybe haggis....

Technically, the SS86 have their own thread, as that's where the Wheelie pictures were shown.

DeathReviews wrote:This is true! The title for this thread here simply uses the generic "Studio Series" for identification, which can be confusing. Because the Studio Series encompasses many kinds of figures now, not just the Bayverse films. Perhaps they should amend the name of the thread to "Studio Series Bayverse" or something - that way those of us who aren't interested in Bayverse movies/figures won't stumble in and spoil the fun....

The movies toylines are over 15 years old.
You have been saying that you hate the Bayverse for over 15 years.

Why you're still not over it by now?

I'm genuinely curious.

It's more like 14 years. I thought the 1st movie was OK, actually. Even got some of the figures. They did some silly things in movie 1 (to this day, the Bumblebee 'urination' scene makes me wince), but the newness and action was palatable. I don't recall ever saying I hate the Bayverse - only that I don't like it. There's a difference.

As to 'not being over it', that's simply because I felt the Bayverse movies haven't gotten any better, despite having had 15 years of practice. I was prepared be a supporter of the franchise, but they didn't learn from their storytelling mistakes. If they'd improved their technique and refined it, that would have been awesome. But I'll be the first to admit their success. They're making loads of money, so they must be doing something right - and they keep making more of them. I simply find their reliance on vulgarity, stereotypical characters, and slow-motion tumbling has become more gauche than endearing. Hope that doesn't offend - but you DID ask.

Bay had wanted out of these movies since DOTM, but Hasbro wouldn't let him go until he finally made a movie that didn't make bank. And he had to have known the kind of reaction he'd get for putting Nazi banners on Winston Churchill's estate, of all places. That had to have been part of an attempt to get Hasbro finally to let him go.

Thankfully, we were finally given a decent film in the Bumblebee movie, and I mean that regardless of its Cybertron scenes. Here's hoping Rise of the Beasts learns from that movie's positives more than anything.

That would make sense if he wasn't still producing them himself.

For BB and RotB the only thing he isn't doing is directing.

Seems he's finally stepped off for the 2024 prequel.

I meant that he wanted to stop directing them. Producing he seems to be fine with.
