>- reduced the visual clutter in the designs
This is a big one and one that is fucking hard to overcome unless a director is CONSTANTLY standing over the shoulders of the modeling team. Because the average CGI modeler cannot ever EVER fucking consider a design that just looks cool. They are all to fucking autistic and have this autism-fueled drive to make goddamn sure that everything looks perfectly 100% functional and realistic as if someone actually literally built that right there in front of them. They cannot ever let a design go minimalist for accuracy to the subject, or to resemble a cartoon. They MUST make it 900% REALISTIC REAL that looks so totally REAL. To them it has to be functional and real first, and actually resembling the design sent to them or be appealing a very distant second.

This is how we got nightmare fuel Smurfs and Garfield, a overly convoluted pile of parts Megazord, ugly as fuck wrong looking first version of Sonic, and Baleformers.

I'm gonna be honest, this is the only memorable part of Bumblebee for me
it was still a decent movie, I agree, but the G1 scenes made me wish I was watching that instead of what we got. Doesn't help that any time I see Bumblebee discussed, the G1 stuff is always the first thing that comes up
ROTB should've just been a sequel that goes even harder on the G1 pandering and gets all the Autobots and Decepticons to Earth and we can get more of what people liked of that but instead they're trying too hard to introduce another fan-favorite part of the franchise but then still need to add all this other shit no one cares about

[Assistant]

> but the G1 scenes made me wish I was watching that instead of what we got

Honestly this is an old thing that goes back a lot farther. Way too damn many times a Hollywood adaptation starts out with a really cool scifi/fantasy premise, but then the hero goes to Earth and the rest of the movie is the hero bumbling around on Earth and being confused at regular Earth shit. When the first 5 minutes looked like ten times cooler of a movie that we will never get.

The 80s MOTU movie...that takes place in Kentucky.
Even the modern Captain Marvel movie looked like a fun space adventure...that immediately jumped to 90s California.

He was, but that "tranc Arcee" article is just clickbait, the writer assumes all versions of Arcee are trans, thus her being in the movie means "it's introducing the trans character!"

Still this director sucks, is more concerned with other shit, and I have no hype for this movie, interest dropped to zero soon as I found out the whole premise revolves around "this is the black and hispanic Transformers movie yo!", I mean that's all the director had to say about it, clearly all he's interested in.

I'm really curious how the Bumblebee movie would've been received by fanswithout that Cybertron sequence. Because taken on it's own, yeah it's a more cohesive movie than the last two Bay movies..but it's not really the TF movie people wanted either. It's a movie about a girl and her alien friend(and Bumblebee is still the Bay movie bumblebee, wearing a G1 alt-mode) who fights two Decepticons who look like Bay movie designs.

No. There were actually a lot of mad Bayverse fans, mostly younger people whose only exposure to the franchise were those movies, who loathed Bumblebee and the G1 influences and wanted a more action focused movie with robots that looked like scrapmetal shards. Don't underestimate the significance of the Bay movies. Even if they sucked, there's an entire generation of moviegoers and casual fans to whom those films were the definitive version of TF, and they'll complain about anything else. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that he believed audiences wanted more chaos and mayhem, or as he called it "Bayhem". If these rumors about the new film being a mess are true, then it seems like the producers really didn't know what direction to take, they might have listened to the Bay fanboy complaints.

I mean to be fair..is the Bumblebee movie really what people wanted? Or are they just happy they got some g1 esque designs in it? Like it seems all g1 fans like the G1 movie(with some salt over Optimus dying), and that whole movie is one long action movie music video.

It's genuinely not hard at all to make a good Transformers flick, so why do studios keep trying to make it overcomplicated clusterfucks?

[Assistant]

It's because they try to be "more" than the first entry, but don't understand what the purpose of adding "more" is.

It's not what I want at all, even if I thought the G1 shit was cool, that's one tiny part of the whole movie, the Transformers you actually see in the majority of the movie still look like Bayformers designs anyway, so I can't imagine anybody actually likes Bumblebee based solely on the fact that it has G1 esque designs during the like two minutes of the film set on Cybertron. I don't think G1 fans are necessarily the big crowd for Bumblebee, I think it's probably newer fans.
>Like it seems all g1 fans like the G1 movie(with some salt over Optimus dying), and that whole movie is one long action movie music video.
Yeah but it's awesome, nobody who loves that movie thinks it's a deep piece of storytelling, it just delivers an epic adventure with awesome visuals, memorable lines and iconic character moments, and despite being one of the more cynically produced things still manages to feel like it has heart.

>>136847310
Designs aren't the only reason people disliked those, I'm not huge on Bayformers or Bumblebee, to me they have pretty much the same level of strengths and weakness and neither deliver something "definitively" "Transformers" to me, they both still feel like Transformers movies made for casual movie goers more so than fans of any of the animated series.

The robots are almost non characters when in most Transformers media, they're the characters you most give a shit about. Honestly now that I'm thinking about it, the formula of all the live action movies is more comparable to giant monster movies, where you have some bullshit plot going on and all you want to see is the big special effects creatures do something cool for a couple minutes before it goes back to the bullshit human drama.

Bumblebee:
- was simple with a low amount of characters, allowing them to shine
- reduced the visual clutter in the designs
- had G1 pandering (good thing)
- rebooted away from the Bay movies
Which everyone praised. Everyone said "These are steps in the right direction"
So of course they decided to reverse everything.

He was, but that "tranc Arcee" article is just clickbait, the writer assumes all versions of Arcee are trans, thus her being in the movie means "it's introducing the trans character!"

Still this director sucks, is more concerned with other shit, and I have no hype for this movie, interest dropped to zero soon as I found out the whole premise revolves around "this is the black and hispanic Transformers movie yo!", I mean that's all the director had to say about it, clearly all he's interested in.

[Assistant]
>>136851320
They didn't really get rid of him so much as he got rid of himself. Between 3 and 4, Shia decided he wanted to get into art house films, tried to make a movie(which ended up being plagarized) and then he started wearing a paperbag on his head.
I can't find it, but I swear there were pics of Shia with a white Camaro on the set of Transformers AoE that didn't make it to the final cut.

Critics liked Bumblebee because it was a girl movie, thus "feminist", and it had a black as the love interest thus "woke", it's a very leftist agenda movie, and you're surprised liberal critics rated it higher than anything by Michael Bay? Lmao

Times have changed. Big CGI slapfests and explosions by themselves don't draw in audiences anymore, they're dime a dozen now.
Transformers needs a better hook. For one thing, they need to stop with the Bumblebee speech thing and give him an actual voice so he can be a proper headlining character and not just a pet for the human characters.

Knight pushed for it, which is why the CGI models for most of the cybertronians are just a single model recobbled with a few changes for each one. It was planned as a prequel, then they were a bit more lax and basically let Knight consider it a reboot, then when Knight tried to put Megatron on Cybertron they nixed it as he should be frozen on Earth per bay movie continuity and they got cold feet about the reboot. Then after the movie came out they implied it was a reboot. And now it looks like ROTB will have it as a prequel that leads to a time split in ROTB.

He was, but that "tranc Arcee" article is just clickbait, the writer assumes all versions of Arcee are trans, thus her being in the movie means "it's introducing the trans character!"

Still this director sucks, is more concerned with other shit, and I have no hype for this movie, interest dropped to zero soon as I found out the whole premise revolves around "this is the black and hispanic Transformers movie yo!", I mean that's all the director had to say about it, clearly all he's interested in.

Every time Skids and Mudflap were on screen, the dad next to me was visibly disgusted by them. I don't blame him one bit either, because they were absolutely racist garbage. Between that and Jazz in the first movie, I get the feeling Bay (or at least his writers) has a racist sense of humor.

It is when the robots are basically just blank exposition machines to lead the convoluted plot. The Prime Wars and Netflix trilogies are also all robot lead and they suck because no one has any memorable characterization.
This entire movie seems to exist to be a convoluted explanation for a soft reboot. Bringing in the time travel elements of BW THIS early while also tying it to the last Bay movie sounds so convoluted it's going to be completely lost on people. BW established it's setting and audience before going deeper into lore.

>According to a new report, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is in major trouble, with Paramount Pictures struggling to get the reboot - described as a "mess" - in shape before it arrives in theaters this June.
>Michael Bay's Transformers movies weren't exactly beloved among critics and fans, but they still drew a massive audience and broke box office records at a time it was far from commonplace for blockbusters to earn $1 billion worldwide.
>Bumblebee was meant to serve as a fresh start but, with franchise fatigue setting in, its $468 million haul wasn't enough for the reboot to be deemed a true hit.
>Now, Paramount Pictures is taking another crack at the property with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Capitalising on 90s nostalgia and attempting to do something truly new by introducing the Maximals, the hope is that this fresh start could usher in a new era of storytelling. The marketing campaign currently feels a little muted, though, and there might be a good reason for that.
>Talking on The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider claims that there are major issues with the movie ahead of its June release.
>"They're getting a little worried about 'Transformers,'" he explains. "This is what they said, they said that 'Transformers' has gone through close to a dozen different editing teams that have argued about different cuts of the film."

The podcast's co-host, John Rocha, took those comments a step further, describing it as a "mess" that the studio is "trying to fix it."

GeeWon-fags still seething over the success of the first 3 bayformers, I see. My question is why? They had just as much integrity as "The Transformers: The Movie" (i.e. none) and defined an entire generation of films

Megan Fox in the TF movies is such a weird story
>First movie
plays a character that's infinitely more interesting, likeable, developed, and proactive than the main character
>Second movie
Is written to be an annoying girlfriend for some reason, changing her characterization
>Third movie
booted out of the production for calling out the director on his usual bullshit, gets replaced by a character/actor that only lasts one movie anyways

[Assistant]
>>136860080
Pretty sure she got kicked out for pissing off the king of all Jews, Spielberg, not Bay. She was April in the TMNT movies he was producer on it. That was back before Twitter started comparing everyone to Hitler.

Rosie something something's whole career trajectory was so weird, she's a Victoria secret model who married Jason statham(who's 20 years older than her). She was in two movies, 4years apart, TF3 and Mad Max Fury road.

You can tell they didn't change the script at all when Megan was fired.
>As stated above, Megan Fox was originally intended to reprise her role as Mikaela Banes from the previous two movies. She was still spotted on the Dark of the Moon set during the previsualization stage in May 2010,[21] but was fired from the production shortly afterwards due to a falling out with director Michael Bay. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's character of Carly Spencer was written in as a replacement, though the fact that her part was originally written for Mikaela still shows in some parts: For example, Carly is overseeing Dylan's car collection, which could be viewed as an extension of Mikaela's history with working with cars. Furthermore, Sam and Carly not only have Wheelie (who had been previously "domesticated" by Mikaela) as a "pet", but also her dog Bonecrusher (played by Michael Bay's eponymous real-life dog).

Because then they'd just make it an animated film. There's no reason to make a live action film consisting entirely of empty cars and CG creations.

[Assistant]
>>136850571
Yes there is, the destruction will look more realistic and thus cooler, if it's live action with cgi, rather than animated.
