How would of you felt if the twins were in DOTM?

Dolza_Khyron · 02-03-2012, 01:31 AM

honestly i don't think the twins were that bad in the rotf movie. they're alright, and they did say SOME funny lines. it would of been neat to of included them. after all i am still curious of what their "combined" mode would of looked like.

also i don't like it when characters are removed, or killed off screen, in movies. period.

honestly, i think that's cheating. if you're going to kill them off, at least put it on screen!

In fact, killing them off would make things worse in the eyes of most, everyone would go "Oh yeah, the stereotyped retarded black soldiers appear then are killed off, an offense to any black members in the audience" regardless of the circumstance of their demise.

See, I never got that from them. I always saw the twins as the "white kids trying to be gangster" thing. They actually made me laugh because they reminded me of all the kids that swear on xbox live.

They were in it. If you search this forum I'm sure you'll find the post and proof.

If they had been in it I wouldn't have even bothered to rent the movie. There aren't many characters where I can say they need to be wiped from existence and history, but the Twins are on that list with Jar Jar Binks.

Besides it seems we hardly got enough time with the new Autobots as it was without Skidmark and Buttflap taking up time better spent on better bots.

Well it would be nice to know what actually happened to them.

AutobotJazz1 · 02-03-2012, 11:13 AM

See this is why I hate movie critics. Just because they sound all gangster and stuff that makes them racist stereotypes. Just because they sound black some people don't like them. I mean like are they supposed to sound white all the time. This is why bay should have kept them in. Screw what critics say.

I would have liked to see them ONLY because it would have kept some carry-over consistency from ROTF to DOTM. They could have been killed off in the first two minutes for all I care, but when two of the most central characters of the entire second movie are just gone for the third, it just looks like shoddy storytelling.

Character consistency is exactly the same reason why I wanted Megan Fox back as well. I don't care about her acting abilities, whether she's better or worse than Rosie, blah blah blah... I just wanted to see her and Sam's story wrap-up. Heresy, I know.

Can't say I would've really cared.

I mean, it would have been nice if we got an explanation as to why they just disappeared.

This.

Although I did genuinely like Mikaela and wanted her back.

I was certainly no fan of the twins in ROTF, but I'm also not a fan of "vanishing act" characters - it reflects negatively on the storytelling. They could have been added in DOTM and just downplayed in comparison to their overabundant screen time in ROTF.

The three movies really don't blend well together, and stuff like this doesn't help.
