OPTIMUS124

Same here. I bought the JP sets some years back. The only one that I couldn't get through was Headmasters. The fact that was the case is honestly what saved the franchise. Beast Wars got an award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation in 1997 (which is hilarious looking at it now). If you do plan to watch the netflix series, watch it at 1.25x speed (no I am not joking). Everyone talks like they are catching their breath.

I really didn't care for Siege. I liked the concept, but the voicework was trash. The story really didn't grab me. I didn't even watch the last two parts. As far as some of the other TF series; I did enjoy Masterforce and Victory. Transformers: Masterforce Transformers:Victory

The first season is a bit more cohesive. Season 2 is a toy commercial. Season 3 tried to have an actual narrative, but the animation is TERRIBLE (with one exception) Prime's death in the 86 movie is something of legend. Cullen's voice work for that scene emulates the "deeper" Prime voice. They did that right. There is only one other character death in TF lore that may rival that one. Beast Wars is my favorite TF story. I will warn you, the show is visually dated. I think my phone can do better renders 🤣. It does get better afterwards since there are a few model changes that remove the realism. Beast Wars mixes humor and heart throughout its run. TF Prime is a good show. The biggest "weakness" that the show has is actually Optimus Prime. The voice direction just has Cullen seeming to be unenthused (at least for Season 1). Still, it's worth a watch. I haven't finished Animated, but what I saw was pretty impressive. That toyline does a really good job translating the cartoon models.

I rewatched G1 some years ago. It's campy and has charm. I think many fans remember it more for how the series made them feel than the actual content. While dated visually, Beast Wars is the best show in the entire franchise. I remember watching the 86 movie in August of 1990. That was the month that I became an adult. My brothers and I had no idea what was coming. I honestly believe this was the first movie that I actually cried over. Prime's entire circumstance was executed brilliantly. It quite honestly may be one of the best cartoon deaths to date. I went to TFCon back in 2015 and the story consultant, Flint Dille, explained how they really didn't have an idea of how important the characters were, in particular Optimus Prime. One of the Hasbro execs dropped garbage bags full of "hate mail" regarding the death of Prime. They even mentioned a story about a kid locking himself in a room because of Prime's death. Dille questioned the validity, but figured it didn't matter. This is also the reason why Duke has the line about "coming out of a coma" at the end of the GI Joe movie.

I wanted to laugh at this. The bore was something stupid. I hated when my brothers tried to hit me with that 🤣.

Breaking down some of the greatest dance/fight moves ever.

The important part is around 4:00. It's insane the leap from the R34 to R35.

I get it . . . but just seems like leaning into the Wakandan salute. Yeah, even to the point where it has BP's eye's visible while in the mask. That said, I'm certain they will be using the tribute Marvel Intro from BP with this movie. I do honestly hope that they keep the energy release as the end shot from now till the MCU is over.

I'm all for the movie, but was that really the best title they could come up with?

I agree that changing his ethnicity does change the circumstance in the backstory. It'll be interesting to see how it gets done, However, we already had Magneto's backstory done exceptionally well in First Class. A different treatment/circumstance that brands him as the "other" can be done, it just needs to be compelling. If it is Giancarlo Epsosito as a possible Magneto, he's been a great villain in multiple stories within the last decade. You may get the smug goat look from some, but you know that performance is gonna be awesome. Personally, I'd rather see him as Professor X.

Path of Neo was good for when it was made. I would certainly be ok revisiting the game. With John Wick, depending on how the movie wraps up, a game is a really good way to create a prequel story.

The algorithm blessed me with footage of a Matrix mod for Sifu.

If it's not Shuri, it'll be Nakia. With M'Baku, the challenge is more a formality than a rite. T'Challa was gonna take it but M'Baku wasn't cool with Wakanda at the time. Post-Endgame, I think things are good.

Playing through Sifu. This game is the epitome of "wax on/ wax off". I appreciate when games kill you fairly.

So Marvel's "phases" seem to be headed towards a Star Trek vibe. ST - Even numbered movies are good; odd are questionable MCU - Odd numbered phases are good; even numbered phases are questionable.

Because it's based off of this figure. My Generations Arcee is the one from the Combiner Hunters set.

If they swap sexes, a "bad bitch" joke is just waiting 🤣.

Best girl?

This meme summarizes the review tag-line

Smooth-braining for the win. 🤣 THe concept of the multiverse was introduced, setup a new backstory for Cap, made a new anti-hero, and provided a little more "magic" in the MCU. They are probably one of those people that didn't like a fair bit of it which equates to nothing happened.

LEVEL UP YOUR VIBRATIONS!!!! The conscious and hoteps are gonna eat this shit up.

I may see it next weekend. I've heard "decent" to "good".
