i like each of the last 3 for what the were. 1 was the first so it was the first time we seen any of this happen on the big screen so it was just overall a wonderful experience. 2 had some of the best action and set pieces of the 3 but the story was lacking and all over the place. 3 had a lot of story and at time a bit to much story and the first half of the movie was just to much Sam. But like 2 had great action and set pieces. Now if they can get the action of 2 and 3 and the better story of 1 we will have a winner lol

 

I think I can at least partially understand the new feeling against the Autobots. Remember in DOTM, legislation was passed to exile the Autobots after Sentinel's message to the U.N. Though the Autobots seemed to follow along with humanity's request to leave Earth, they later showed up in Chicago. Though they were the main force in dealing with the Decepticon invasion, by simply defying the legislation, that would be in direct action against the U.S., despite their contributions and defence against the Decepticons, which in turn would lead to mistrust (due to them "breaking their promise"). Plus, many would look upon the Autobots as the source of the invasion (i.e. like that idiot Galloway from ROTF saying the Decepticons were on Earth to hunt the Autobots). Pile all of that together, and thus you get the new "vibe" that humans have for the Autobots.

 

Same reason the xmen protect mutant hating bigots..........I'm not really sure

 

Coz it sells books. If everyone loved mutants, it'd be another dull superman book.  

 

It's not even about selling books. It's about even having a story so you've got books to sell. Themes and narratives. X-Men was just a good soap opera adventure engine.

Anyway. I cannot say anything about something we've not seen and I don't have that much hope for all this besides on a design level. But I wished they played with how cruel the Autobots and OP was in DOTM. Having them deal with some PTSD, embodied in part by the outside threats and seeing how its dealth with would tie it all together in a neat bow and start it all afresh I think.
