    Sounds like half of them haven't even seen the movie, to be honest. Probably read spoilers on Reddit or something.

    So far the predictions for Bumblebee's second week stand at 21M, third place like the last week.

    ‘Aquaman’ $16.9M Wednesday Bests ‘Last Jedi’ & ‘Black Panther’; DC Superhero Will Fly To $54M Second Weekend

    So when your enemy is going to hunt you down and murder any innocent lives in his way to get to you, you shouldn’t kill him because...you’re the good guy? It’s a fucking war dumbass. And now the innocent inhabitants of a random planet are being drawn into a war they have nothing to do with. Bumblebee had every right to annihilate Blitzwing. That’s like if we fought WW2 got to Germany and decided to let Hitler go.

    For the first time in my entire life I am not ashamed to recommend a Transformers movie to other people without being sarcastic or otherwise.

    Looks like the numbers are going to stay steady for a little while. Good sign.

    The lack of Prime may imply otherwise. That was a cited problem with TLK in China and BB hasnt done much to fix it.

    It's called Bumblebee not Transformers. I think the audience there are reasonable enough with what they expect.
    (i.e. Robot fights)

    Also if that's the case then shouldn't ROTF be a total flop?

    Are you joking with me?

    What part of "Blitzwing had him by the throat and was literally seconds away from killing him" didn´t you get? He wasn´t arresting him, he was inches away of executing him.

    "You are sentenced to death." That was what Blitzwing said. It wasn´t a threat, it wasn´t implied, it was literally what he meant. He had just given him a death sentence on the spot. If anyone is bloodthirsty and not giving anyone a chance, it was him.

    No later with the rocket he had no way to fight Bumblebee still choose to shoot. So he didn't have to defend himself. And he just said that yeah but still didn't kill him. Besides Optimus said worse things in the 3rd movie.

    Of course he shoot, it was either him or the guy who again, I reiterate, had beaten him to an inch of his life and given him a death sentence.

    You don´t have an argument to stand on and are just splinting hairs to save face.

    The Rocket was literally right after bumblebee got his throat ripped out. Blitzwing was coming over to kill bumblebee. At this point I’m 100% sure you haven’t even seen the movie because you can’t even get the scene timeline correct. At no point was Blitzwing stopping and bumblebee had the opportunity to escape or not kill him.

    "You are sentenced to death." Bee then rips the armor platting from the weapon off, takes a rocket, shoves it into his chest. Blitzwing shocked and confused by this (as anyone who was at that point winning the fight would) drops him and Bee takes the shot.

    Had he time to take his rocket off, an execution would have followed.

    Also he had other weapons, so he wasn’t a defenseless puppy like you’re making Blitzwing out to be. He was just shocked as hell after winning and beating bumblebee almost to death, and bumblebee took that very slim window of opportunity to kill someone who was about to absolutely destroy him.

    ROTF had Prime be the center of almost every action sequence save the first four fifths of the Egypt battle since he was dead.

    Also, he had a bomb strapped to his chest, of course he was confused as hell and his priority went from killing the enemy to "Get this thing off me!"

    I don't see what's the problem with a character gunning down the other character when they're both soldiers on the opposite sides of a war.

    Seriously.


    It's, you know, WAR.

    You'll either get rid of them or they'll get rid of you at the next chance given.
