@ I‘d argue that that’s kind of the beauty of it.

[@Jackson-ub1uv]

@@Eternal_Tardis Don't be reductive. That "jar" contained the All-Spark (which is the polar opposite of Unicron), and Unicron's greed and desire for destruction led to him being trapped by what he wanted to consume. It's called "irony" and is a perfectly valid way for him to go.

[@TransMascTrump]

Prime was okay not great with the portrayal just okay

[@drhaxx7425]

The Bayformers movies are fascinating. Packed full of fast paced action, crass, edgy dialogue and bombastic music. And yet the last two movies still put me to sleep in the theater. No other piece media has managed this so far.

[@jakeking974]

To be fair, if Marky Mark (he will always be Marky Mark in my heart) isn't bullshitting, he DOES do a lot of work for a guy his age to stay that fit. Granted, I'm sure there's some level of steroids involved, but if I were known for being a buff Chad, I'd probably want it referenced in my movies.

[@CaptainPositron]

[@theotv5522]

Thing is, there are some crucial plot that were glossed over which stood out to viewers. For example how Sam died off-screen due to radiation. Most viewers would think it's never establish, but then in the first movie when the agents scanned him with a Geiger counter the radiation were off the chart, so it IS established the Cybertronians are in fact radioactive, and that makes Chicago the 2nd Chernobyl which is why it was sectioned off instead of rebuilt. And why all the Metal Gear walking around, because if something sneak out they could infect and cause outbreak. Sounds stupid yeah, but it kinda makes sense. I guess it sounded stupid because such vital lore happened in the background instead of front and center, so viewers didn't pick up on it and chalk it up to poor writing.

[@CaptainPositron]

@@theotv5522 Yea, that sounds like something they should've put a bit more focus on. So it would seem that Shia La Labeouf died horrifically off screen... that happened. 🤷‍♂

[@217adaptiveperspective]

Megatron going 'I want my Crew' feels like something I would've seen in Bionicle with the Piraka characters or something I'm pretty sure some of the commercials had similar energy, too

[@theotv5522]

On 1 hand, I want to defend this movie and cope that by this point in the movie, humans have learned to kill Cybertronians so Megatron breaking them out by himself will just be a fool's errand, so instead he tried to negotiate (Megatron while being evil, isn't stupid). On the other hand, seeing the powerful big bad villain of the franchise who's only 1 trigger finger away from a human genocide, kneeling down and asking for parole for his crew (whom most of the time he doesn't respect nor care about) is just outrageous.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

49:21 - Apparently there are actually 13 Knights cause here in this scene where they jump Optimus there are all 12 present, but then there's also the one that crash landed into Chicago so... The Knights don't know how to count I guess, that or they were nicknamed the Baker's Dozen Knights which is a dozen plus one. 🤷

What makes you one of my favorite reaction and video essay channel is that you add so much to the videos because (a. You actually take in the type media you react to on your personal level, and there b) add so much more context of the materials.

[@Xinis]

It's so funny there's a TFP clip in here considering that the "Unicron is Earth" storyline is literally from that show. You can literally go watch the S1 finale and see EXACTLY beat for beat where that story was going to go if they made a 7th movie. With the writing quality of these movies, you would be getting a copypasta version of that story but much worse.

[@quietguy6021]

I just rewatched the fist movie and uh... yeah, they scan Sam with a Geiger counter and the Cybertronians apparently WERE established to be extremely radioactive so... Chicago might be the new Chernobyl.

[@theotv5522]

The stupid part is this is CRUCIAL plot point, and Bay treated it like it's filler, and let it happened in the background, which of course flew under everyone's radar. Everyone would think "Oh that's a dumb way for Sam to die out of nowhere in the background" when they all forget the Geiger counter went crazy in the first movie, and that they had the Cube contained deep underground within thick walls.

Some things Cody got wrong is that Quintessa is the name of one of the original 13 Primes in lore and was the one responsible for the Quintesson race, Quintessa Prime wasn't a female either as Solus Prime of the Original 13 was the only female Prime and the one responsible for female transformers, and Unicron being the Earth is something that the show Transformers Prime did super well that the writing team for The Last Knight probably took.

[@anorak3334]

I'm pretty sure the name is "Quintus Prime"

[@dkkanofkash8798]

Doesn’t change the fact that TLK is a dogshit film.

18:30 I don't care what anyone says, I still think that King Arthur Legend of the Sword was a fire movie and not a single person can change my mind about that. It's so underrated.

[@MrDarksol]

It was then on the fifth and final movie of the Bay universe where we finally free. We were free from the awful human characters, we were free from the terrible representation of the autobots and we were free from the lack of the decepticons actually being a threat. We were also free of random sexualization of the main female character and life was good....... Until we had rise of the beasts years later which is basically Michael Bay lite. But at least we had Transformers one which didn't have any human characters...... Which led into us probably not getting any more Transformers movies ever again probably. But at least the Michael Bay stuff never got anymore stuff after the fifth movie.

I said this on the last video, but I do think that in theory, mixing Transformers and Arthurian Mythology could work. Transformers has had crazier crossovers, like Cthulhu, MLP, etc.

[@azurehorizon6097]

Some of the concept art for TLK were really good, such as Megatron originally having a Dragon alt form, which definitely would have fit better with his design in that film. I do love how they brought Barricade back in this film, but as with most things, they barely used him, he appears near the beginning, in a chase scene with Bumblebee that was nowhere near as epic at their chase in the 2007 film and then towards the end at Stonehenge and he kinda just disappears after Megatron flies away, his design was pretty great as well in my opinion. TLK is just a straight mess, but it has it's moments where it's funny, mostly when Anthony Hopkins is present.

[@a.z.pantera5577]

Thing is, I would've been interested in Arthurian legend being somewhat inspired by Transformer relics that act like magic. But rather than just being given to them. They are discovered. Like what if Excalibur was actually the Star Saber?. The sword wielded by the very first Prime. We know that the Matrix was on Earth already with the Primes.. But given the mystic nature Transformers mythos tends to have, I can see how Merlin would be regarded as a great wizard. Or Arthur being seen as a king chosen by God.

For the plot thing, what series hurts me the most is assassins creed. Three main plots of the franchise. First is dropped and never mentioned again, second got pushed off to comic books, and the third felt slapped together for a quick end that might have not even been an end but the next game starts a new plot so it was. And honesty, a plot that ends bad is at least something I can forget than a plot that never ended, makes me think about it for too long with what I’ve. Point is, transformers and halo should have ended at the third and assassins creed should actually end plots.

Precisely. The viewers don't know what Cybertron is like after the war. They saw a dark glooming planet and assume that version and the one Quintessa was controlling are the same state. Had Bay included a few shots in the first movie for Cybertron post-war, people will recognize the difference and Optimus reaction will make more sense.
