Does Bay deserve to be in the Hasbro Hall of Fame

nemisispringer · 05-18-2011, 05:30 PM

So does he?

Edit: Im gonna throw this in here that we are not talking about the movies themselves. We are talking about Bay and his contribution to them and weather he deserves to be rewarded for what he has personally done.

Overlord Balder · 05-18-2011, 05:32 PM

Absolutely.

Mr.Bay is awesome, and he did an excellent job [in my humble opinion] on the 2007 movie.

The franchise is stronger than ever thanks to him, give the guy a break.

Of course. It's absurd to think otherwise.

If it weren't for him Transformers wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is today, we probably wouldn't even HAVE a Hall Of Fame. Concepts he reimagined have been put to use in other series and the movies have given us some of the best TF toys ever.

Sure he does. He headed a new interpretation of the brand (a new generation) that has already endured the better half of a decade and has brought Transformers to new audiences and a new level of mainstream popularity and acceptance. You can love the movieverse or hate it, but you can't truthfully say it hasn't been wildly successful and massively influential to the franchise in recent years.

He made the movie series that, regardless of quality, brought Transformers back into the eye of the general public, grabbing the attention of a new generation and a larger audience.

So yeah, I'd say he deserves it.

Others have beaten me to the list of reasons I think this, so I'll simply say YES. Of course he does.

The better question is, why DOESN'T he deserve to be in the HOF? Serious question.

Jetbolt · 05-18-2011, 05:37 PM

Sure he does, he tooked Transformers to entire new levels when it came to reaching out and made the series alot stronger.

Im gonna throw this in here that we are not talking about the movies we are talking about Bay and whether in your opinion he did a better job than someone else could have.

Honestly. I don´t really care. Good for him I guess. I just want to see the reactions.
