I was there I remember the hype behind Legacy it was real and people thought it was gonna change the game

And then it came out and the most praise you would hear from most people was “yeah it’s alright”. I like it nowadays after my last rewatch, but back then it was not liked by most people lol

Like this movie was doomed to fail because Tron just isn’t that kinda franchise. Disney wanted to turn this into their Star Wars back in the day I remember the hype behind Legacy was real

Then they just bought Actual Star Wars and didn’t need Tron anymore so what the fuck do we do now lol

Combine all that with the fact this movie was marketed terribly, features one of the worst leading actors today that Hollywood keeps trying to make happen after Suicide Squad opened everyone’s eyes, and a plot straight out of 2010(lets leave the cool fantasy world and go to New York City) and… yeah?

I said it the other day but yeah you got Tron, an extremely niche franchise that had a movie 40 years ago, a sequel 15 years ago that everyone hated at the time and has been abandoned ever since, and a canceled cartoon that actually did new shit people really liked

"Some at Disney were always concerned only die-hard fans would show up, which isn’t a Leto issue but an IP problem. They were right; 18- to 24-year-old males, the sweet spot, badly underindexed."

Since the announcement of Tron 3, I don't know who this movie is aimed at. Teens & young adults or...

“No One Asked for This Reboot”: ‘Tron’ May Mark End of Jared Leto’s Franchise-Leading Days

As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.

I always get a kick out of the bit that Megatron has his own Personal Blend of motor oil that is apparently so good it makes the Constructicons ride or die for him

Here is a comic from the late 2010s that got a lot of #adhd tags on tumblr years before I was diagnosed with adhd.

I’m that kinda sick rn where I don’t really feel the bad but I feel just gross and achy enough that I can’t sleep despite my body and brain craving it every moment that passes

It’s so important to play bad video games sometimes. Read bad books. Watch bad movies. You need the perspective. You become a better person by experiencing trash

And even then with that, they were still looking for the shard to bring Megatron back, so really Starscream was just filling in until they brought him back

They turned Ratchet into Swiss cheese and melted his skull into molten metal

But the dude that somehow eats people’s brains, that guy just gets a jail cell

I don’t think anything sums up the Bay movies more for me than that part of TLK where Megatron is holding Starscream’s head calling him “my old treacherous friend”, when Starscream at no point showed any treachery whatsoever to Megatron, and was killed by his head Exploding to a billion pieces

You know what this is true I always repress Que from my mind

I will now repress him once again

Who are we talking about

Paradoxic @paradoxic.bsky.social · 18h

He’s got the thick neck, the spiky shoulders, and the hook hand

It’s still awful but- well it could be worse

The decision to give him big humanlike pecs is so funny, it looks like he could do the shit David Hasselhoff did in the SpongeBob movie

Bayverse Optimus genuinely goes through the worst design degradation of a character I’ve ever seen, like oh my god where the fuck is the Truck parts

Animated Megatron I think works solely because he turns into a rail gun that doubles as a helicopter because of his swords and that’s just the coolest shit

It’s not even just a Bay problem, it’s my biggest issue with Prime Megatron. As a design itself I fuck with it heavy and think it looks cool

But you cannot tell me with a straight face he turns into a jet without already knowing

R.E.D. From Boulder Punch @redlreview.bsky.social · 22h

The worst thing you can do with a Transformer design is making it look like it doesn’t turn into anything

Which is the problem with like 3/4 of all the Bayverse designs

Genuinely don’t think any Bayverse design pisses me off more than Lockdown
