NOT EVEN AS A JOKE

New Star Wars is better than any of the transformers movies that have come out so far

So I'm stupid for liking one thing and not another? Classy as always Black Hat.

That is how taste works, yeah.

So having different taste makes one person stupider than another? Interesting. Good thing you're around to share your limitless wisdom.

Any time.

I will admit I was not a fan of Sar Wars the Last Jedi, but a good portion fo that is because I was seeing it as a film within a series as opposed from a film on its own. With the Transformers films, I coudl look a it either way and I will dislike most of them regardless. The Last Jedi was not my favourite movie of the year but it wasn't the worst film I had seen, that award went to The Last Knight.

The article has been updated with the actual slide we reffer to:



Notice the absence of anything Transformers on the roadmap after Bumblebee

So I just have to ask, is GI Joe getting rebooted as well (is the 2020 film a sequel to the previous two, or something completely new?)

Oh TLK is bad, no doubt. Really bad. But everything I've heard about nuStar Wars makes me very, very glad I'm not a big fan of SW. The flagrant lore violations (hyperspeed ramming etc), Leia's crazy space flight shenanigans, Rose's entire existence... I know, I know, "You haven't watched it, you can't judge it" but I would counter with "You don't need to drink acid to know that drinking acid is a bad idea".

Anyway, I suspect we're going off topic now so I'll shut up about Star Wars.

More to the point, new Star Wars is better than any of the Star Wars movies that came before. Yeah, even the original trilogy (IV-VI). Deal with it, people!

But the main reason I'm mad, is that they set up a completely logical ending point for this universe which we will now never see a payoff for: UNICRON.

As pointed out by someone else, this is Unicron as Earth, like Transformers Prime. Still, they just needed one more film to wrap up the story. That and Mark Wahlberg and his new girlfriend (maybe wife?) returning as the main human characters. I also would not mind if possible bringing back Sam to help finish the story and bring it full circle (or have him killed off-screen and make that important to the plot.

The movies weren't perfect but I enjoyed them. Age of Extinction is my favorite but I did greatly enjoy The Last Knight. I don't know why they took the huge risk to introduce Unicron after 4 films and instead keep that weird stuff out completely and end the movie with Cybertron orbiting the Earth as a second moon instead of tethered to the Earth. The former would have fit well with Prime's final speech IIRC and have been a fitting end to this film series.

Instead we are stuck with the latter ending, a cliffhanger that should be resolved with one last film. That film development and release would give the new team time to figure out and begin to execute the reboot without insulting our long term investment with no real ending.

Too bad you don't have any. Any of you. The New Star Wars is as poopy as the Transformers movies have been.

I have to throw in, this is in jest. I love the OT. But I get there are those who like the new stuff as well. besides, a mod is going to have to come in a minute and pretty much remove all this Star wars talk anyway...

Oh, it's not sarcasm, I assure you. The prequel trilogy was garbage front to back, but the original trilogy was classic cinema and forever a part of Americana. That doesn't mean those movies were flawless, not by any means. The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and now The Last Jedi are much more polished films than anything under Lucas' reign. The fact that fans are so butthurt over the Last Jedi just proves to me that Disney is doing everything right, lol!

Double Post

Or maybe it's proof that Disney is completely incompetent but that people are willing to defend them because A: "It's Star Wars", B: "IT'S DIDNEY!" and C: "MUH POLITICAL VIRTUE SIGNALLING! IT HAS A BLACK GUY AND A WOMAN IN IT SO IT MUST BE GOOD!!!!"

Read these articles for a more in depth analysis of how awful nuWars is.

Can't say I'm happy about this. I've loved these movies since I was seven years old. I'm eighteen now and I still love them. I understand they're just absent-minded popcorn shenanigans but that's part of the enjoyment for me. Not to mention, this franchise brought my favorite Transformers aesthetic to the table. I'm certainly not sure about what the future holds, but I guess it's far too early to judge. Though, I do wish we got to see more of Bumblebee after his voice magically returned...

On a side note, are they still doing the Studio Series after this news?

You ever think that maybe the reason people **** on the new Star Wars is because of the same reasons that you said people defend it? It works both ways. Besides you just said you didn't watch them so like usual you're forming opinions based on other people's opinions and not your own thoughts. And the "articles" you posted just further cement your status as massive edge lord as opposed to rational human being.

Did you actually take the time to read them? There's nothing edgy or irrational about them unless not liking the "in thing" is now edgy and irrational.

I'm sorry but any article with the title "The Last Jedi is a failure part 5 The Mouse is hungry" doesn't do a lot to help convince me that it's a rational and well thought out article.

Which one of us refuses to see the movies to form their own thoughts on them as opposed to letting other people tell them what to think of them? But yeah I'm the monkey boy

Let's get back on topic, thank you.

You can read the essays fairly quickly without spending a penny. Star Wars requires me to spend my valuable time and money on a movie that I already know is terrible. Not really comparable.

Sorry, made my last post a few seconds after you posted yours. I'll get back on topic now.

I'm only sad because this likely means the end of a great long line of incredible figures, tlk may have been hot trash, but no one can argue the last hurrah of new figures from the line weren't some of the best chunks of plastic ever to grace this world, everything was just so next level with the engineering, I'm gonna miss them

...just not the crap movies

I really enjoyed the first 3 movies for what they were. I've only seen the last 2 once each.

Having said that, I think that it's time. If I personally had the helm on a reboot, I'd go seriously old school to start. I'd definitely have the Ark crash land on Earth in the prehistoric age with the classic characters looking like the classic characters and then go from there. After you have the core group that people love, you can introduce all kinds of new characters and ideas. In other words, win back your real fan base and get people back on your side and excited for a Transformers movie again.
