Oh, I'm not offended at all, and I hope it's clear that I'm not saying it's bad or anything. I don't know. I haven't read it. I just haven't found myself interested at all in the excerpts, summaries, descriptions, or the fansquee -- I see any of the above and I usually scratch my head. I don't know if I'm finding it uninteresting because it's really something you've gotta be following to get, or if I really wouldn't like it, or what. I just don't find myself feeling engaged. I may pick it up and completely adore it. I've definitely had totally wrong first impressions before. :-)

I suspect, though, that even were I to study it all very closely, I'd find I'm just not a fan of IDW's current direction in... anything, really. I loved some of their stuff, but really found myself less than intrigued by most of it post-AHM. I've read some, and I didn't dislike it, but... I don't know. The idea of it just doesn't grab me any more.

Like -- I didn't really have time to get into whatever it was called, the ongoing. At first I felt sad about this and really wanted to know what happened next and felt all fuck I'm behiiiiind! etc. But then I started hearing stuff like "Megatron was a nonviolent protester who wrote essays on social change before he went violent" and -- I just went wow, really? And wasn't so sure if I wanted to read that.

Again, not to say that it's BAD. It may be great. I don't know. And I've liked the excerpts I've seen from that much more than I've liked the excerpts I've seen from MTMTE. But -- what I loved most about Megatron: Origin was something the scriptwriter said in an interview, which was something like "This is a guy who wasn't always Epic Villain, but he always had the potential. He finds himself doing violent things -- and he finds himself realizing --" mm. I don't remember the exact wording. But it wasn't just "that he likes it," it was more -- like that way of behaving was not only productive for him but natural to him. That he took to it, that he discovered that was the kind of guy he was. So even though he had doubt at first, it was his Good Guy impulses that weren't who he really was, and the whole thing was how he came into his own as a villain, rather than a fall from grace so much.

So the whole... change in revolutionary style? It may be awesomemazing, but it's not how I want to see the character. I want to see him as what I THOUGHT he was in M:O, as I understood it: someone who had a regular, boring life because he hadn't discovered who he was -- and when he did, who he was was bad rather than good.

And yeah, that's not MTMTE. I'm just citing that to say I'm really not feeling IDW in general, when I really used to care.
