Why Shia LaBeouf Was Never The Same After Transformers

[@LordMcKrakenVonLittleBits]

Shia is beyond talented. He sells himself short by his actions offscreen. I'd love to see him get back on the saddle. Historically, in Hollywood, the most difficult actors and actresses are some of the most captivating to watch on the big screen.

[@bradcalhoun8976]

The Transformers movies haven’t been the same without him. The comedy aspect has suffered and the serious drama aspect has also suffered. Walberg nor the new guy who played Noah captured the desperation of the situation like he did.

@@bradcalhoun8976 Honestly, Cade was pretty boring in my own opinion. i never really enjoyed the movies he was in.

[@bradcalhoun8976]

@@_lans yeah, his climaxes were pretty dull. But his build ups were more exciting than Noah. Noah’s climax was better than Cade but the build up to it was dull. Sam had both at the right level. Part 1 he got the kill shot. Part 2 he died and was revived by the primes. Part 3 He had to struggle with his personal own personal growth being tested and the question of what if? It was basically development of his character. Although he is the mind of Bumblebee, he has the heart of Optimus Prime, and it showed.

[@bradcalhoun8976]

@@sersastark And in Rise of the Beast they pretty much treated Optimus Prime like a whole Bitch through the whole movie. They barely even won. He was just getting beat up by random ass terracons and 💩. The human cast did alright but Optimus wasn’t Optimusn. That looked more like Ultra Magnus than Optimus Prime. I didn’t HATE it COMPLETELY but it’s by far, THE WORST MOVIE in the franchise.

I haven't gotten deep into the video yet, but if it doesn't mention losing RiHanna to Josh Hartnett, then there is so so so much more for you to feel bad about.

[@LtCommanderTato]

@@h.h4417 spiderman is garbage since Tom Holland era.

[@rickkcir2]

I always preferred Sam as my favorite human character in Transformers, not just because of the humor and other things, but because of how relatable he was. He wasn't some genius farmer guy nor a street racer, he was just an ordinary kid who stumbled upon something massive that changed his life. He was realistic, he showed fear many times, which is okay, like he was 16 when Transformers 1 took place. He would have character development throughout the 3 films; he would still have fear, but still do the deed regardless (ex. running from Megatron to protect the Allspark, going right up to Megatron to kill him with the Cube, travelling all the way to Egypt to revive Optimus, dying to Megatron before being revived, going back into Decepticon-occupied Chicago to help the human resistance). He also never tried to act like he was a hero of a story or anything, in fact, he himself says it, that he's just a messenger, when confronting Dylan in the final battle in TF3. He's rightfully scared but he still does the right thing either way, that's true courage. He's flawed and asymmetrical, and that's what make him such a good character.

[@user-mn8lz7gf6d]

yeah he did dumb things and was awkward, but he always stepped up and did the right thing.

[@JDMEXforme]

Hes a really good versatile actor. The comedic timing he has is perfect. Almost all of his projects are great.

[@retroman5432]

Something really does tell me that Shia LaBeouf is actually gonna return back to the Transformers franchise. After all, he is still technically acting, and he is in desperate need of a huge comeback now. If Tobey Maguire can offically come back as Spider-Man, AND is now offically part of the MCU family, so can Shia.

I watched the movie Honey Boy and I finally understood Shia LaBeouf. His childhood was horrible, no wonder he has issues. I hope he finds a really good movie to be in, one that demonstrates all of his acting abilities. He is one of the best actors in Hollywood. I hope it works out for him. PS, I would not want to be in another transformers movie again either.

[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

Which has been proven false by Shia himself. IN that interview WITH JON he admits it "It told the story of a struggling former child star and his relationship with his father. However, during an appearance on Real Ones with Jon Bernthal, LaBeouf said that he fictionalized parts of the plot. "I wrote this narrative, which was just f---ing nonsense, My dad was so loving to me my whole life. Fractured, sure. Crooked, sure. Wonky, for sure. But never was he not loving, never was he not there." LaBeouf also clarified that his father was not abusive or violent and said that his depiction in the movie "vilified [him] on a grand scale." "I turned the knob up on certain s--t that wasn't real. My dad never hit me, never. He spanked me once, one time. And the story that gets painted in Honey Boy is this dude is abusing his kid all the time.""

[@Hectorferjr2]

After observing the success of Coming 2 America, Ghostbusters 3: Afterlife, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Top Gun 2: Maverick, and A Christmas Story Christmas I would have made an effort to persuade Shia LaBeouf to return.

[@dantaboo]

Shia LaBeouf could make a comeback in his career, especially since talking about how his life has changed since welcoming his first child, a baby girl named Isabel, with wife Mia Goth. He even go as far as to call his daughter the "ultimate parole officer." Rooting for the guy since we're the same age and we both have a daughter. Sometimes being a father can really change a man for the better.

I think shai was just dealt a bad hand early in life and despite his many successes that he basically willed into life his underlining foundation of who he is has always been that of shattered glass unsure of who he really is and what he really represents.

It's devastating how Steven Spielberg cut Shia LaBeouf out of his life. I always believed that Shia could have helped Steven win six more Oscars if they kept their collaboration strong like Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. Offering constructive criticism about Indiana Jones is an unacceptable reason to fire someone. The only obstacle that stands in the way of success for Steven is his inability to listen to the advice from the people around him. Steven recently lost 7 Oscars to Everything Everywhere All At Once. I'm glad that I'll never use my Bachelor's Degree in Film to become a movie director.

If the new transformers do something like Marvel DC universe Collab and bring him back... or let's say he got to play a role in MCU, and keeps his cool, then I think a comeback might be inevitable.

[@ryanmelvin-bn8fk]

Met Shia when he was shooting Lawless. Friend from high school was in the movie with him. Shia was ... I've rarely in my life seen someone manage to make an entire cast and crew think he's a joke so badly. Was very chummy with Tom Hardy half the shoot, brought a girl he had been seeing over, Tom acted the same they had been acting (rough housing a bit) and Shia threw a tantrum. Tom could have really hurt him, but just essentially ignored him the rest of shooting. So did my friend, which was difficult given how close they were in the film. Apparently, Jessica Chastain and Jason Clarke made fun of him the rest of the shoot. That's the only FACTUAL thing I know. BTW, I love him as an actor. Another friend - who I'll name in Andrew Bryniarski - acted for quite a while and has told me that guys like Shia, Jon Bernthal and Rogan are all about the most toxic people you could be around.
