Basically this. Take a regular movie with just people in it and you'll see actors make facial expressions and sounds that just don't occur in normal conversations, yet add to the scene in a movie. They are MEANT to add more to a scene or character. It's not rocket science, it's a movie which is trying to convey a visual and auditory difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Crazy talk, I know...
Well,megatron growls because he guy needs something to blow off his steam,sadly that thing that blows off his steam tends to blow him up,or beat him up senceless,or get overloaded by a mcguffin held by the typical lead celebrity.
Uh, he spat... once. Through a scene that lasted about five or ten minutes. Jeeeezus. Anyway, answering the OP; Have you ever not growled when you're angry? Megatron likely does the same, but it's probably more cybertronian than english due to it being a natural, guttural noise, which he's probably creating in the same way he would back on Cybertron. Actually, enough with the bogus theories. He's pissed, and they want to make him intimidating.
He growls because Hugo Weaving only got 2 hours to do his lines, therefore Bay just stuck some "grrrrrs" in there to fill space. ......yeah I dunno the reason.
All these answers that are really just jabs at Michael bay annoy me. Not because I defend Michael bay, but because they're just bitter, not answers. he growls cuz he's pissed. Heck I do too sometimes.
bay said that he wanted to create distinction between the bots and cons, the bots being more human-like and relatable while the cons are more "alien and different.
It seems that we share the same opinion. Everything else is "AGGGHHHHH! BAY IS A MINDLESS IDIOT! ERMAGHERD!" (as if we havent heard that a million times.)
Comments like this are lame!!! I liked his growling and all these negative Bay comments are annoying. Obvisouly the general public liked it. The movie is one of biggest money makers of all time. Just because about 2 % us fans make up of the general profit of the movie means nothing to them. They tried apealing to us and the mass public which they obvisouly did with the amount of earings. But People just like to bitch over the internet. Simply dont like it? Dont see it! These boards piss me off so much sometimes with all the damn hate. Love what we do get. Dont sit back and bitch because you cant make a better movie. And if you can.. Then do it or shut up. Sad day to be a fan when all I see is hate latly.
I agree! I loved the sound effects, bestial and savage, the huge berserker rumbling and snarling as he ran around shooting people, ripping punks in half and all that jazz
