It’s becoming more and more obvious that Lorenzo is literally the only individual that still thinks of these new films as a prequel. Everyone else has used the term “reboot”.

 

The thing that sticks out most to me is this:

To have the director of the movie do an interview with Alfonso, tell them it’s a reboot, and then have Alfonso (who interviewed the literal director) publicly shade Lorenzo on Twitter for being wrong, a producer of the film, is genuinely wild.

Reality is stranger than fiction. And with the #I’mTeamCaple, I feel like there’s definite disagreements happening between Caple and Lorenzo behind the scenes…

 

Being a TF fan right now be like

 

Or

 

I'd have to add G1 Op and the Marvel comics Op to this but yes, exactly. Wholeheartedly

 

He's a producer. He's not so much hired as it is stuck with him.

 

This continued dogpiling on Lorenzo because of what he does or doesn't say about "Bayverse" is silly.

Movie studios don't give a lick about "continuity" the same way we do. They don't care whether the fans can find nitpicks and faults in the timelines, or if what X said in a movie contradicts what Y says in another movie.

They care about the general audience experience, and so far, there's been zero moves to wholly divorce the movies from what Michael Bay established. That would require a completely new aesthetic, possibly even going as far as not even having Bumblebee or Optimus Prime in it, for random schmoes off the street to go "oh, wait, this is really different!"

We're talking Adam West vs. Michael Keaton-levels of aesthetic departure. Or to a lesser degree, Schumacher vs. Nolan. That's what it took for moviegoers to take Batman seriously again.

 

All you saying "grew up with" the Bayverse makes me feel old. I was 23 when TF07 came out. Lol.

 

You're making me feel old. I was 32 when 07 dropped. My wife was in the hospital in labor with my first born...

...snuck out to the theater down the street and chanced she wouldn't have the baby during the movie. 7-06-07...I made it.  

 

Wow what a crazy series of events!! Good think your risk paid off  

 

Bro did you just admit to abandoning your pregnant wife who was in labor to go see a silly robot toy movie?

Bro...

 

I mean it isn't unusual for directors or actors to disagree with executives and producers.

We just have to take a wait and see approach and let the movie speak for itself.

 

Wow, seriously wow

 

Well let's see. My wife was in the hospital for a week for other shit that's frankly none of your business outside of the aforementioned pregnacy. I was there for her night and day, 24-7, pretty much the opposite of abandoning her. She told me she was going to shut her eyes for a couple of hours and I chose to use that time to watch a movie of a franchise I've been a fan of for decades at that point.

So

is the simpler, non-drama filled version that I chose to go with because who wants to hear all that?

Next time when you want to ASSume? Don't. Hope this reaches you on your high horse. At that altitude, it might take a couple of days.

 

Oh ho ho! Bro...

I didn't assume anything. I made a presumption based on the statement initially provided. You assumed that I was supposed to be able to discern all the other extenuating circumstances. Taken at face value, you made it sound like you took your wife to the hospital once she went into labor, and skipped out to watch a movie.

 

thats the way i took it too

 

No you decided to be judgemental and assumed the worst.
