Re: OP
(Anonymous) 2015-12-21 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)It just kinda occured to me we actually had a lot of insight in the mind of Megatron in season 2. S2 has a lot about him, his feels and past, and even thought it doesn't mean he stoped suddenly being a genocidal warlord who's a monster and guilty and all, we at least see his actions and feelings in a lot of different situations. It's really easy to try to understand him, to be sympathetic, to guess what's going on with him, and even if we don't know yet of his plans and all we can assume at least some of his actions and feelings in S2 are genuine.
Getaway though? We don't know the real Getaway. It's not so much about people forgeting about mtmte telling of the shades of grey - it's people realising they can't tell the shades in Getaway, if there even ARE any (ofc there probably are, it's Roberts, but yeah). We have this nice character revealed doing the horrible thing by acting a certain way during most of the season, then realise everything he ever told can't be cheked, and that Skids had lost his memories of Getaway the same way Whirl just did in #47. At the same time we have no way of knowing what Getaway feels, which is real and which is not when it comes to him. In other words, for now, he's a liar who never really did anything good (not counting some off-fighting when on the LL in Dark Cybertron and other little stuff, I guess?). This thing with Tailgate is Getaway's first big ark, and as much as I agree with you about him turning out a complicated character in the end, I kinda understand the agression too. I think at this point people who like Getaway hope for the reveal of his true self/past history/motivation/anything really so that he can truly be the "shades of grey" character mtmte likes to tell us about, but I kinda can't blame people who hate on him - for now there's very little to love of him. Eh, remember hate (not as much as Getaway got, but there were for sure) Brainstorm got after poisoning the crew, and then the tons of love he got after the TWIST? Bet same will happen to Getaway, you just wait. =)
(Also, triggering Megatron into violence? I kinda see how that can make tumblr-crowd like Megs more than Getaway.)
