It can’t be autobots. Screw that, it’s the flipping miracle. IT WAS SO COOL. Clearly people would die in this movie; I was genuinely scared we would lose main characters. I’m 23 today, you can’t take this from me. It was the coolest scene in any movie I’ve watched. I was fully emotionally captivated at the time. What an experience.

@deen2099 That's true, but also, as specified in the film, they were literally bespoke alien extermination bio-machines. I don't think they would even have any level of reproductive capability as a group, which makes specifying them as a "species" or even an "animal", as we understand the idea, pretty difficult. Like, animals generally seek to avoid conflict and unnecessary risk and physical violence, if only out of a desire to perpetuate their genes before dying. Seeking-out conflict and violence was all the PR Kaiju did, their own "lives" apparently notwithstanding. They were pretty much just tools, ie. weapons designed to destroy via the weapon's own destruction. They were about as much animals as one of the Robowars contestants or an FPV drone was a sentient AI. So I agree that the violence was pretty graphic and horrific when you think about it, and it was definitely neither received that way by the audience nor intended by the film-makers to be received as such, which I'm sure was a satirical point. It felt a lot different than, say, Godzilla taking a hit in any of the new Monsterverse films, which raises interesting questions like the ones you posited, eg "when is violence "bad", and what makes it feel that way to us, but only sometimes?". The whole movie has a certain Verhoeven feel, but that part in particular, now that you mention it, reminds heavily of the Robocop bit of "ED-209 shooting an exec into paste is funny, Clarence Boddicker's gang doing the same thing to Murphy a few minutes later is soul-crushing". In PR, the audience really has more empathy for damage done to the mechanical Jaegers than the biological Kaijus, which is quite a feat.

@Croftice1 Жыл бұрын
Except killing Sentinel for that reason, that was in the movie alone (feeling betraied) is reason enough, no need for a "revenge". In Bayformers 1 (2007), Megs killed Jazz and OP didn't go for him to KILL HIM TO AVENGE HIS FRIEND, he still tried to sacrifice himself, rather than killing Megs outright, but it was Sam pushing the cube into Mega's chest, that killed him. So putting personal feelings for the loss of a friend aside was totally in character for OP in TF3. Also Megs wasn't the whole reason "behind this", it was Sentinel, he came up with the "truce" with the Decepticons. Sentinel was the mastermind behind all that. Yes, Megatron was evil and whatnot, but had like zero influence over Sentinel's plan. Sentinel even scolded Megs in one scene like a dog to "show him his place", not something you see as an interaction between completely balanced partners in crime. Sentinel had the main word in their agreement. And Optimus knew both characters well to realize that. He killed Megatron for other reason, than "being behind it all". There's also an unused early draft (well, it got incorporated into the novelisation of DotM, I think), where Megs doesn't get killed, instead OP reaches for him, giving him a hand and they return to Cybertron rebuilding it together. The movie was supposed to end like that originally, but Bay decided it wouldn't work well, so Megs got killed by Optimus. There really is no reason for "this is for Ironhide" and "you were behind all of this". EDIT: the video is talking about the draft as well, haven't seen it all, before commenting. So yea, this only proves my words.

Dark Of The Moon is actually kinda similar to to an arc in the original series. In “The Transformers: The Ultimate Doom” the decepticons use a space bridge to bring Cybertron to earth, but instead it screws with the planet and starts to tear Earth apart. They also mind controlled a bunch of humans too, and we’re going to use them as slave labor.

@@herbalyzoltan409 In Japan the cultural differences compared to here meant Prime was already going to be a hard sell as the "Very mature show but only as mature as a PG-13 gets" isn't as popular (and Japanese kids seemingly are more interested in human piloted robots and sentience robots), while it's far more popular to either be Gundam-mature from the offset, be a goofy fun kids show like the dubs for Beast Wars and Animated, or start out as just a fun kids show but build up to more serious stuff as the show goes on like with Armada. So to try and circumvent this Takara got the guy who dubbed Beast Wars and Animated (dubs that aimed for an even lower age demographic than the original scripts did) to do the dub for Prime, while at the same time marketing the toys at mostly old fans rather than for "all ages" like Hasbro. So with both things targeted at different age groups and the dub not at all fitting the show Prime bombed so hard they didn't import Season 3 and instead made "Transformers Go!" which also bombed, to the point you can still find unopened Prime and Beast Hunter Toys on Japanese markets for rather cheap. Now a similar thing happened in the 90s when Takara made two Beast Wars spinoff shows, Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo, while waiting for S2/3 of the CG show to be ready to dub, but BW Neo bombed in a similar manner due to the complex toys and basically killed almost all interest by kids and some fans in Transmetals and stopped Takara from importing Beast Machines till 2005. Takara then made Transformers Car Robots (later dubbed into 2001 Robots in Disguise) to try and soften the blow and then saw an explosive resurgence to popularity with Armada, but unlike Neo there hasn't been a show with a massive marketing push like Armada that has come after TF: Prime, so now most of Takara's TF sales come from the Masterpiece G1/BW and MPM lines. Which is why we didn't see an original Takara TF mold in Mainline/Generations again after 2012 and it was only repaints/retools till 2018, where now they just have straight repacks of Hasbro's toys.

But knowing the history .... can you really trust megtron for his words for peace and solem? Thousands of years of war and strife on Cybertronian and because Sentienal made him a little bitch at the end and knew he was in shape to over run he just game up. If somebody shows you over and over again who they are you have to believe them at some point no matter how much you want to believe something else. Evyerbody talks about how weak Megatron is but he wasn't the same Megatron from the first movie. No original parts and very muched weakened and in 2 he uses a spark of a lesser ranked decepticon and spare parts. As for Optimus, not only was he prime but he inherited a spark and parts from an OG (very similar to The FAllen" with instant transmission and overall more anciet knowledge and strength from Jetfire. Gained the knowledge and ability to use flight that he did had an upgraded trailer for all his knew weapons and flight tech.... If you remember Optimus was getting his ass handed baaaadly in the first movie and was going to have Sam sacrifice him for the greater good and Sam killed Megatron instead ... that's the turn off the tide right there

Everybody immediately goes for the "No Optimus", yet nobody brings up Sentinel betrayed them and shot Ironhide in the back while doing it. Or the hostages being wasted beforehand by Decepticons. Edit: I think a lot of people sleep on the true character arc of Optimus in these movies. In 1, he tried fighting with honor, yet it still wasn't enough to beat Megatron. Also, though it was barely focused on, Jazz's death must've hit him harder than we realize. In 2, people focus on Optimus's brutality, but they never focus on the fights themselves. The woods fight was literally 3 against 1, sorry if he can't be as composed as people think he should be. Then against the fallen, he just got juiced up by the power given to him by Jetfire, I think you can cut him slack for going a overboard in killing the fallen. Not to mention, he had to be thorough in killing the fallen, cuz his name literally implies that he'll rise again if you don't kill him right. 3rd movie, it comes full circle. He tried to be the honorable big metal boyscout at the start, but first he finds out he was lied to again by the humans, there goes that trust. Then he tries to do the honorable thing and hand back leadership to his teacher, Sentinel. We all knows how that goes. Then the humans straight up tell them to get off the planet, he goes along in hopes that the decepticons at the very least will honor the deal and spare humanity if they leave. They immediately shoot them down and start wasting humans. Then in the fight, did Sentinel show mercy? Stabs him, cuts his arm off, then tries to impale him. Sorry, but the honor is dead, and the War killed it. Optimus was just done with all of it. Look what honor got him, his friends are dead, betrayal on all sides, and no place to call home. I'm assuming that Optimus thought that if he let either of them live, it'd all start over again. How could he trust them to surrender or honor the truce, when they wouldn't even let him surrender honorably. He truly wanted to be free of this, which is why I felt it when he said it was time to find out.
@sashabraus94222 жыл бұрын
Exactly, people sleep on Optimus' character because it's not the focal point (sam's POV being the focal point.) Plus, in every movie optimus was fighting for a planet and a people to save. There's no do-overs, not after the Cube was destroyed (along with the prospect of reviving his race.) If he looses Earth and humanity, that's it game over. It's like a father fighting a pack of rabid dogs to save his kid.

One of my favorite instances is the 3v1 in the forest in the second movie. I think it's great and one of the strongest points of the trilogy if you really examine it - Optimus's number one objective right there is to make sure Sam is safe, and it shows in the way he's playing defense hardcore. But once Optimus thinks Sam is dead or out of the way, he decides to show the Decepticons what's what by turning the tables and cutting them down with absolutely no effort at all, and he only dies because he goes looking for Sam again. If he had paid more attention he likely would have ended Megatron's life right there instead of vice versa. People often forget that Prime is a title and not his actual surname or anything, and it takes an absolute force of nature to be worthy of the title, typically only given to a bot worthy of being the Autobot leader, which is a very tall order. I think him going balls to the wall in the forest was perfectly fitting for the character. Optimus believes in reform, but if it's not only his life on the line, but humanity's and his newfound home after all the loss and bloodshed he's had to be a part of, I think it pans out as a perfectly fine for him to remind the Decepticons exactly who they're dealing with, on top of him likely thinking Sam was dead in the moment.

All the moon decepticons were put there as a contingency in case the autobots found the ship. The plan was initially to use the pillars and bring the allspark back. Megatron left before sentinel did. Then bumblebee followed. IDW kind of ironed that out in there movie prequel series called defiance. Also the soundwave and his cronies were the ones who moved the pillars because they showed up some time around the 50s and routinely went from space to earth over and over.

16:10 "Somehow they must have picked up that fuel rod." J.J. Abrams saw this scene and thought "yeah, I can totally bring Palpatine back."

Fucking finally. A channel that can watch a fun movie without writing an essay on how it's the worst thing ti ever happen. I LOVE video essays detailing how movies are poorly written or produced, but some movies need some love, and the transformers movies are a perfect example. It's okay to have fun, while still acknowledging flaws.

I figured the Decepticon's plan was to use the pillars, only for them to realize it wouldn't work without Sentinel. Then after RotF, they realized Optimus could revive him. Doesn't explain why they didn't use the army until now, though.

I like how this movie actually feels like PG-13. The invasion in Chicago where Decepticons are shooting people and blowing them to bones is brutal. Along with the death's of Transformers

Having the humans burst into confetti instead of blood and gore when the decepticons shot them probably helped with the rating.

It's funny you mention Shockwave just standing around and look menacing because Yes that's basically him in everything past G1. He's just a really intimidating villain who also sometimes does science stuff for the Deceptions

I mean, yeah, but he was kind of cool in 'Transformers: Prime,' if only for this gem from season 3: Shockwave (about ready to kill Starscream): Why did you leave me to die? Starscream: We had no other choice, we thought you were dead! Shockwave: That is...logical. (immediately drops the subject) (Edit: I was paraphrasing from memory)

He either stands around in G1 or he’s a straight up war criminal in the comics trying to end existence because he find it “logical”. The IDW version of Shockwave’s crimes could fill a whole book

The novelization of the movie goes into a lot more detail on the end of Sam and Mikala’s relationship. It doesn’t go into why they broke up but Sam is more affected by it to the point that he has a lot more trust issues because of it. Plus Carly is given a LOT more development
@soundwavesuperior282 жыл бұрын
If you have to rely on the novelization to get an depth understanding of the story depicted in a movie, then the movie did a bad job of telling the story in the first place. I LOVE Transformers for what it is: a nostalgic, action packed, and beautifully designed film. But I do not love it for any form of coherent narrative.

@@MegaSheen15 Maybe, but I honestly didn’t have faith in the writers to write a coherent story after Transformers 4. The first three films at least had some form of coherent narrative, even if they were poorly written & ultimately had no depth. The next two were just.. Random, coming straight out of the left field.
