Wow, you really managed to miss the entire plot of the movies.

Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?

You'll never stop at one.

[(Anonymous)]

Read the comics that tie in with the movies, read the books to fill in the gigantic plot holes, tie everything together. All of them had emotions. Even Megatron once the Fallen's control was over.

Look, I love Earth and all, but let's look at this from their perspective.

His species is dying. Near dead. The planet all but lost. Meanwhile, that dick Optimus is going around killing every shot he has at restoring his planet, for the sake of an alien race that spends most of its time trying to torture or kill members of his species. There's pathos, it's just Bay didn't mean for it to be there.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

Are you implying the decepticons were any better? Because they weren't. At all. The planet needed restoring for a reason.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Basically I'm implying that everyone in this series is a douchebag of one flavor or another. Megatron's just the interesting one.

[(Anonymous)]

But if you point out that the planet was dying because of the war started by the Decepticons then you can't woobify Megatron.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

Well, somebody above blames the Fallen. Ugh. Like there weren't enough things wrong with his movie incarnation.

I mean, why is he not on fire? Forget all this megatron woobie crap, that's what I'm mad about. This is what the fallen is supposed to look like:



The six year old in my assures everybody a ROBOT ALWAYS ON FIRE is awesome. What did we get? Weird vaguely egyptian looking piece of shit.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Who sits on his robot space couch doing nothing for most of the movie. He's like the evil robot version of my grandmother.

[fierceawakening.livejournal.com]

Yeah. "Megatron. Go handle this."

Ugh. So much ragehate for his fail.

[captain-emily.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm actually rather surprised that Michael Bay passed up on the chance to have an Evil Giant Flaming Robot in his movie. Seems to me that something like that would be right up his alley.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! When I heard the title, I figured "okay. No matter what happens, he'll get that motherfucker right. One part of this movie will be awesome."

And then I learned hope is for those who want to be dissapointed.

[(Anonymous)]

Get this. The reason Cybertron is in such bad shape, isn't all because of Megatron. It's mostly Optimus' fault. He practically killed Cybertron by ejecting the Allspark cube into space.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

To protect it from being used by the Fallen-twisted genocidal maniac that Megatron had turned into.

I don't deny that maybe some big parts of how Optimus acted is fraught with problems, but he always had the best of intentions (and remember that saying about a path paved with good intentions? Movie!Optimus has had a hell of a time with trying not end up in that final destination).

[captain-emily.livejournal.com]

Yeah...no. Optimus didn't just wake up one morning and say "You know what? Fuck Cybertron! I'm gonna kill us all!" before ejecting the cube into space. He got rid of the Allspark to keep the Decepticons from stealing and abusing it.

[(Anonymous)]

You really are determined to paint Megatron as an innocent little woobie victim, aren't you?

That only works if you ignore canon and every evil thing he's ever done.

[fierceawakening.livejournal.com]

This.

I'm totally not for woobifying the guy. He's a monster. But he's a monster who began with an understandable premise: protect his people. It got twisted by crazy into "Destroy others for the sake of protecting my people." That should not be woobified.

But it is (or can be, in the hands of actual good writers) more than just "LOL BAD GUY SEE."

I really wish the movies had done more with it. There was this one line in the third movie where he's like "Finally, our world is saved" or something, and I loved it and really wanted more to it than that.

Not because I want him to be less of a monster, but because it gave him more complexity than just RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR BAD IS ME.
