Besides that, it's hard to take ideas from trollish people like this seriously when they talk about their erection in one post, exclaim "good times bro" when fights break out in another, and replying flat out "No" to posts that are actually well thought out arguments

 

I mean i get it, some people were unhappy with it being a cliffhanger but..what's left?

 

At this point, I suspect a few people in favor of this sinking ship are taking that bully-ish sibling approach of pretending to love something you hate just to bug you, like eating something gross and opening their mouth in your face like BLEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHH

 

I'm kinda picking that up from some of them, Like some really want this story to go somewhere, but they realize Bee was a good film and it's time to move on, where's some will think the bayverse are better then Bee when they ain't

 

Where'd you get all of that from and how does it relate to my post?

 

Well, these people obviously do when they believed him saying there wouldn't be a reboot, so it's just turning their own argument against them.

 

Aside from the other reasons pointed out by others already (smaller budget, still made more money than TLK, crowded competition), the negative bias against the franchise created by a series of bad films one after the other no doubt contributed to BB making less than the first four Bay films.

 

Yeah true. Just like how the bad reception of TF1-5 is the only reason Bumblebee has a 90+% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even Metacritic has that film in the 60s which is just about the same score as TF2007.

If it weren't for the bad reception of the earlier films people would most likely see BB as mediocre.

Bro you really have a hard time understanding that your opinions aren't fact.  

No opinion is fact.

Thanks. I disagree with all of that, but thanks anyway.

So because you hate that I think a TLK sequel would work, I'm a bully.
SMH

 

I still disagree with you on the realism aspect.
For one, after I saw TLK the first time I looked up online what would happen if the moon was destroyed. At least based on what I found, nothing major would happen besides the movement of the waves would lessen and the orbit of the Earth would be slightly altered. So the moon getting fucked up in TLK wouldn't have much affect. As for Cybertron colliding with Earth, I already said that natural disasters would be in affect making things tough for the humans. I mean you could do a whole film on the effects of Cybertron colliding with Earth.
Have two thirds of the Earth's life be wiped out from the effects. The UN blames the Transformers as usual, and TRF is put back into effect and more heavily financed. A human resistance led by Cade, Sam, Vivianne, Izzy, Epps, Lennox (dropping out of TRF) exists. Then you have the Autobots trying to rebuild Cybertron and work with the UN to separate and restore both planets who aren't willing.
The UN is trying to preserve humanity and Earth while fighting the Transformers, yet obviously failing.
A post apocalyptic type film. Something completely new and different. Then maybe have the Quintessions invasion teased at the end of the film, set up for TF7 as was mentioned here already. Then TF8 is Unicron.
There are many possible directions that the sequel could go in, and anyone could think of them. But I'm not gonna go on when all of you are just so hung up on refuting me.

 

Oh, my mistake. I thought this was you;

 

Yup I'd like to see a sequel just to see Unicron and how that story wraps up. But it won't happen.

Enjoyed Bumblebee's story very much, but the G1 design direction kind of made me fell out of love with the movie franchise. So whatever the future holds and how they want to continue from here, am not too invested in it. If there's another movie, I'll watch it like any other sci-fi blockbuster.

Who knows, maybe someday they'll do something that makes me excited about Transformers again. But for now, I'll enjoy other things.

 

Cybertron in TLK was not hitting the Earth like an asteroid or the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs. It was slowly approaching the Earth and scrapping itself against it. So comparing Cybertron colliding with Earth to an asteroid hitting the Earth is completely irrelevant.
As for the moon moving closer to the Earth, quoting the article "A mighty tidal bulge would be created, hitting the land and causing great flooding, with cities such as London and New York disappearing under water." that alone is perfect for the story I already laid out. Number one, that screams Michael Bay action written all over it, lol. Number two, I already mentioned natural disasters wiping out two thirds of the human population.
FInally, the most important point, it's funny how you completely ignored the other ideas I mentioned regarding the story elements. The parts that acutally mattter apart from the sciene stuff such as the characters, the human resistance, TRF, the Autobots rebuilding their planet, Quintessa, the Quintessions, etc. You, like the majority of people in this thread, just don't want to acknowledge that there are many possible directions that the story could go following TLK's ending.

 

As flawed as The Last Knight was, I have to agree with this. Those tendrils or cables coming from Cybertron were more attaching themselves and scratching Earth's Earth's surface rather than going full impact.

Yeah, The Last Knight was a heavily flawed movie, but there's hyperbole both ways. It wasn't a great movie in terms of story or character, nor was it really any worse as a movie than, say, Revenge of the Fallen. In fact, it's actually a lot like Revenge of the Fallen.

And I'd be curious to see a The Last Knight sequel, just to see what it would actually be like, and if it would actually finish the Creators and Unicron threads in a satisfying way. It may not, but I am a firm believer that it is execution, rather than existence, that determines a film's quality, and I think that an enjoyable Transformers movie can be made in any continuity. And the later Bay movies aren't really any worse than the earlier Bay movies in their execution. Instead, it's their existence as Transformers fiction that takes place after the main early G1-inspired cast is mostly dead and without the happy, post-DotM ending fans wanted. They're not worse, just less comfortable and familiar to Bayverse and G1 fans alike, even though they're just as inspired by G1 in many aspects as the earlier films are. AoE is parts of Five Faces of Darkness, with some Animated and even Japanese G1 influence as well. The Last Knight has elements of Madman's Paradise and Dark Awakening. The human-like designs of the Autobots, Lockdown, Galvatron, and TLK Megatron are more like the G1 human-faced designs for many robots than the grey, alien, scrap metal Decepticons so many fans claimed to hate so much in the earlier films! And just like G1, the Creator/Quintesson origins appear after the Allspark/Vector Sigma origins, therefore actually resembling the original cartoon more than any other fiction! Not to mention Galvatron/Megatron are now voiced by Welker, who is who many fans wanted to voice Megatron form the get go.

That's also why, and this is going to be an unpopular opinion, I supported, and still do support regardless of how TLK turned out, continuing the films after DotM without rebooting. With most of the Decepticons and many fan favorite Autobots dead, post-DotM movieverse was the best shot at getting some lesser used characters and concepts and status quos and go into more unique interpretations of major characters, like Optimus Prime losing his faith in humanity and being tempted to leave Earth. And whether one likes it or not, we did get some new or less famous characters, many which were actually better executed than the more iconic robots in the earlier films.

I also don't agree with the notion that a sequel to the Bay films would never satisfy the general public, because who do the teens, twenty-somethings, and thirty-somethings associate with the Transformers movies? Shia and Megan Fox. Regardless of what Shia has said about TFs since leaving the franchise, money talks, and if Shia and Megan Fox returned in a post-TLK context, it would almost certainly bring back some interest from general audience members. That's not even my preference; I'm trying to put myself in others' shoes here.

So yeah, I'll give any future Transformers movies a shot, regardless of continuity, BUT I'd rather see something a little more on the unique and bizarre side of things rather than some safe, nostalgic, mundane side of things, whether it's a sequel of Bumblebee, The Last Knight, or something else entirely.

 

No, I dont think you're a bully. I think you just wish you could be one! Referencing your genitals when you're excited on a transformers message board and using the term "bro" unironically when people start fighting based on the shit-disturbing you initiated just screams "i wish i coulda hung out with the cool kids in high school". SMH indeed

It screams "disaster movies we've seen too much of and that got played out in the 00's". Thankfully, Bay himself is sick of it too and has no interest in continuing the mess that I no longer blame him solely for creating, and after seeing how positive his relationship with Knight was.

It's time to grow, change, new things right? Bring on the Knightverse!

 

Not mentioned at any point in this: Decepticons, Unicron, and/or Megatron. Merely saying "characters" doesnt count since you specify several other groups by name, including TRF who were about as interesting as rocks, and the Quints who may or may not even be in the films because there is so little actually relevant to them.

Is this litterally all that Transformers is? Forget the war, forget the whole idea of making Transforming even relevant to the aliens, apparently the only shit that matters is ill explained random bullshit that name drops significant lore terms but never follows up on the sequel. Trying to play things risky by exploring uncharted territory only works if the execution is good and there is an actual end point. Like, AoE is technically unresolved still given Prime went off to fight the Creators...yet at the end of TLK you know what he seems to have forgotten he's supposed to be doing? The Creators litterally do not exist beyond a name and some arm that never got explained, and that kind of vagueness is going to end poorly. For all anybody knows, the Creators are a bunch of snot eating idiots at this point who actually want nothing to do with the Cyberyronians and Lockdown simply misinterpreted their request of him, while he made up that Chessboard shit on his own. AND YOU CANT PROVE ME WRONG IN THIS ASSERTION.

 

Keep in mind I'm not saying that there aren't issues that two planets coming together wouldn't create, and, as you mentioned earlier, obviously the gravity of Cybertron would affect the tides and what not, but I wouldn't view its affects as the same as the asteroid that killed, or helped kill, the dinosaurs.

Furthermore, it's not established in the movie that Cybertron has a thick atmosphere like ours, because if you remember, the extremities of the planet were within our atmosphere, but the final battle took place at a couple tens of thousands of feet in elevation, and the atmosphere was thin, so it may be that Cybertron has a much, much thinner atmosphere than Earth's, if it has one at all.

Either way, both the cartoons and the Bay movies take liberty with physics and what not, as do most disaster movies, most super hero movies, Star Wars movies, and so on. I don't think The Last Knight was really any worse than, say, Dark of the Moon in this regard. NONE of these movies are real world scientifically realistic, and there's nothing really wrong with that.

 

Knight himself said Bumblebee is a prequel, and until it's stated otherwise by a credible source, that's how I'm interpreting Bumblebee.
