Re: Transformers (anything except G1)
(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 03:52 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, TFP!Megatron/Starscream was played for laughs in ways I really don't think it should have been. It kind of feels like the series wobbled erratically between being aimed at preteens and being aimed at adults, and its quality suffered for it. On the one hand, it was trying to be an action-adventure show for preteens, and there's only so dark you can go with that; on the other hand, it kept trying to be dark and serious like you'd honestly expect from the "alien race has been at war for millions of years" concept.
I admit I don't have the nostalgic attachment to Peter Cullen and Frank Welker doing their respective characters' voices that so many people do, but I do think that whoever did the casting did really well at it. And the character designs were well-done too - distinctive and representative at the same time. I tend to have a hard time telling characters apart in TV shows, but that wasn't an issue at all with TFP.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)Personally the thing that bugs me is the lack of consequences for Arcee when she tried to pull the classic villain move of trying to kill Starscream when he was a surrendered prisoner and using the old villain-move of trying to make it look like he was killed while attempting escape. Her punishment was Bumblebeen looking at her in a mournful way.
