    Exactly. We have the Autobots, Maximals and Terrorcons. Plus humans and maybe the military, Decepticons and Predacons. The idea of the film sounds like a cluster fuck of several ideas shoved into one movie. (A beast wars movie, a Bumblebee sequel, a reboot of the film series)

    That assumes every single character gets the exact amount of screen time and assuming the film will be pretty short.

    There's a pretty good chance the Decepticons will barely be in the film, more so with the military.

    This is personally what I suspect as well. Obviously the Decepticons will be mentioned by name and it’s possible we might see them in a flashback scene or something, but I think they are being pushed to the sidelines here. Wouldn’t surprise me if this movie focuses more so on introducing Beast Wars and Terrorcons.

    As for the military? I think we will definitely see them, but they may not as play as a big of a role as they did in Bumblebee or 2007. This film has a lot to introduce and establish so it wouldn’t surprise me if they reduce the role of the military here. I’d love to see a cameo from Cena, though.

    This also makes me curious what the runtime of the movie could be. Let’s just hope it’s not as long as AOE :rolleyes: .

    Honestly? Kathleen fucking Kennedy would be more competent in producing these movies than half of the hacks at Paramount. The shit that has happened behind the scenes during the productions of these films has been crazy. The failed writers room with eighteen writers is complete evidence of all of this.

    Honestly might be fine with that.

    Vast majority of the stuff she's produced both in and out of Star Wars I've enjoyed.

    Oh hell no! Then Arcee will become a misandrist feminist and Peter Cullen will be replaced by some young "woke" actor.

    Can we please not go there in this thread? You can hate Kathleen Kennedy all you want, but let's not derail the conversation and make it all about politics.

    Children, if you can't recognize a joke that doesn't land and you think it breaks the rules just report it instead of making it worse and throwing the thread into another off-topic shitshow.

    Someone saying something off-color isn't an excuse for you to suddenly drag the thread off-topic because the rules suddenly apply to everyone but you. Deal with it properly or keep it to yourself.

    If the film fails, I think it would be a clear sign that there needs to be a change in the production crew and studio. Paramount has had over ten years with the brand and it'd be nice to see what other studios would do with the property (provided they do a good job).

    Pretty much, since I think Paramount by that point will have had more than enough chances to do it right. They're lucky they've had THIS many chances as it is.

    You would think this would have become clear after the absolute financial and critical shitified bathroom fuck explosion disaster TLK was. Unbelievable.

    I don't know if Paramount is just super fucking lucky, good at negotiations, or they're all just brainlets in Hollywood.

    Half of the people at Paramount are literally fucking braindead. This became clear after the writers room of eighteen people literally fucking blew up. Disaster after disaster. It’s like Night of the Living Dead, man. They’re like zombies. Genuinely disturbing when you think about it. I’m so glad Bumblebee turned out decent, though. We fucking scored lucky on that one.

    Literally the only person even suggesting that is you. Is that just what you actually want for the franchise? I'm just gonna assume it is. Follow your dreams, dude.

    Says the old person dragging the thread off topic to whine that everyone is dragging the thread off topic. (also if you agree with @Yellow Shirted Kid you should really just say it, because what you're doing now, shifting the fault to everybody but them when they're literally the inciting poster, comes across as super cowardly and spineless.)

    Now to get on topic - if ROTB underperforms and/or is bad then I will move on with my life, and everybody here should do the same.

    Seriously. It's just toy robots. Not that important. Go outside. Go touch grass.
