A while ago he said he hated a line from Age of Extinction. Any idea what it would be? Also could someone show me the post of video where he stated this?
I think it was the line in my signature, actually. He seemed off-put by Optimus seeking retributive justice.
I think it's the "When I find out who's behind this, he's going to die." I think I heard him say because it sounded vengeful "It was vengeance." SacAnime 2015 It sounded like Optimus Prime was struggling to spit it out in the movie itself. Which I felt work. 46:20-46:42
^ Probably, that makes the most sense. Also, Optimus never says "This is not war, human extinction." That's just a line that was edited together from various other lines for the trailers. Same with "We need a new army."
A little off topic, but I wonder if Peter Cullen had a issue with Transformers: Prime Optimus Prime who went on a similar quest for vengeance after Raf was injured and uttered the line. "I have been foolish not to see what history has proven over and over again...that Autobots and Decepticons will never mend their ways. If there can be no diplomatic solution to this perpetual conflict, then I must not allow more darkness to fall upon this or any planet. Megatron must be destroyed!" While tone down a little it's still the same vengeful justice.
I think the line in Prime was different because it's not just Optimus saying "Megatron needs to die" or "Let's kill Megatron". Optimus says that it's very clear that it'll never be plausible to find a diplomatic solution with the Cons and killing Megatron is the only way possible to end the war
No, because that's proper dialogue with understandable cause and reasoned effect. The movies condense this kind of thing down to something like "someone's gonna die!" I think that's what cullen hates.
