one ridiculous argument deserves another.
hate to break this to you, but Transformers is larger now than it ever was in the 1980's. how much did your original Transformers movie gross it's opening weekend in 1986? a hefty $5 million. clearly not only was it appropriate to redesign the wheel, audiences wanted it and prefer it.
After this I will leave this thread to die with you since you have to have the last word.
First, you are off topic even mentioning the toys. I never did and your argument is yours alone. If you feel you need to counter my opinion with your own, let me tell you brother...oppression will get you no where. You and those like you that want to make me and those like me conform will come to an impasse. So let me have my opinion and you have yours.
Second, there are many more people in the world today and the popularity today cannot be compared to the popularity of the original 80's. Many more know of the Transformers now than ever did and the breeders out there have made sure that if it's hip and can provide entertainment for the ADD generation that it's for them. That aside, you, nor I speak for the masses, you like me are a lurker on this board spilling BS to those who will read it and we do not speak for the masses and do not have a finger on the pulse of the world and cannot decide that anyone but your cat prefer wet food to dry food, let alone who prefers this movie. I hated the movie and I am not pushing my view on you, I am merely commenting that in my opinion I thought the movie strayed from its roots. Good fundamentalist Christians would call that BLASPHEMY...and So do I. I am by no means a fundamentalist. I do however believe that you have been tainted by the Post 1987 travesty that has become transformers and have been infected down to your soul. In my mind and only there, where others may agree, Hasbro has ruined another franchise and raped my childhood. Thats just criminal.
Good day! And much love to you too!
