Welcome Mr. Roberto Orci, you may ask him questions

Mr. Orci:

Do you think that the show Fringe will be a good show and not ending up being cancelled?

Also, will we see Mr. Bay filming at Downey Studios again soon?

Well, that would be true if the studio used the character without the creator's consent but if they were interested in introducing a fan-made character into the movie, if they had the creator's consent, would they do that?

but most fan characters suck
the either exist as robotic mary sues or armada starcream ripoffs
no offence to any fanfic writers or character creators, but it's true

But the Fringe is Roberto and Alex's own show. What are they going to say to this question?

"No, we don't think it will be a good show and it will end up being cancelled"?

At the risk of sounding like a complete noob, I dunno what a "mary sue" is but I've created a couple of characters and would be delighted if Orci was interested in taking a look at their profiles. If they're no good to him, I'll understand but I'd be extremely honored otherwise.

google it or search urban dictionary or encyclopedia dramatica
in general mary means a character designed to be perfect, or perfectly flawed
sometimes the opposite happens and the characters are designed to be dark and broody with ahheart of gold that noone ever sees
fanfaction is probably the biggest cancer postmodernism has contributed to literary fiction

again, no offence to the writers who just love creating characters
don't hit me

I like you.

So is there going to be any filming actually taking place overseas?

Well they are filming in Jordan, but I wonder if this will be second unit again like when they filmed the wide shot for the Arctic.

A "Mary Sue" is basically the writer's pet character.

In terms of Transformers, 99% of them are the "super cool hardcore badass unbeatable loner" God Mode Sue type whose only weakness is that they're loners.

Wreckers Devcon essentially falls into this category in a way. He is based on an exaisting character, but apparently the writer (who is said to be a huge fan of said character) totally forgot what the character was like in his only canonical appearance. That's why the generally friendly, sociable Devcon from the G1 episode "The Gambler" became the sociopathic bastard Devcon in the BotCon Wreckers comics.

Mary Sues are usually stereotypical characters based on one single character trait. Many of them are like Marvel's Wolverine - they're tough, gruffy, can solve any poblem without any help - and then you wonder what interesting story could be written with them.

Mr. Orci- Great job with the first TF movie's script! Keep 'em coming!

My question- In 3 words, how would you describe Michael Bay, as you see him?

And can you please tell him from me that no matter what anybody says online, heaps of people out here think he is a GREAT director, especially me.
