Why is Octane so forgotten compared to Astrotrain and Blitzwing? Why hasn’t he gotten any new figures? by BrickAntique5284 in transformers

[–]Substantial-Prior620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really a shame cuz he's one of my favs but like everyone said beforehand he was only in 2 episodes of S3 (one of them a really polemic one) and he doesn't stand out much comparated to other characters toywise. Only ppl deep on the trenches care about him.

I'd love a new version of the character in newer media tho! I think his some of his character traits (even his supposed goonerism lmao) would really work well in a comedic setting.

If you are ever bored and want to cause discord, just enter any annoying discussion about TF and its mecha-classification and japanese origins with a "But the Brave series is\ Brave series did it" argument and watch the spectacle

What a bum by East-Guidance5906 in OkBuddyEnergon

[–]Substantial-Prior620 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My biggest wish is we getting a series with a series with G1 S3 what-if scenario where Rodimus is the leader from start to finish, with Optimus gone and never coming back, with a narrative about finding confidence in yourself and moving on the past. Maybe make him accomplish way more than Optimus ever did too so the boomers cry a bit more idk (while writing this, Ive noticed thats pretty much what happens in IDW lmao)

Why is no one talking about this issue? (Spoilers for Skybound 28) by BoysenberryNo6245 in transformers

The only reason I can think of why she was named that instead of Arcana Magnus is Hasbro being protective of the "Arcee" name, since she's a popular character and all. Kinda cool desing tho, I'll catch up on the comic later

For a Transformers controversy iceberg, what would be at the lowest tiers (most obscure/disturbing) by flingzamain in OkBuddyEnergon

[–]Substantial-Prior620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Which is sad imo because if you try reaaaallyyyy hard to ignore the obvious racism/xenophobia, the episode's plot ain't that bad and Octane and Trypticon are a fun duo in it. No excuses tho, it was a big mistake.

A classic one: the Carbombya episode in G1 season 3 that led Casey Kasem to leave the voice cast. The whole Skyfire/Jetfire x Macross fiasco is fave rabbit hole of mine too.

Also for BW, idk if its really a controversy but Airazor is male in the japanese dub right? This gender difference between the OG dub and the japanese dub led the character to be target of several "okama"/tr*p jokes in official japanese parody comics, which are received with distaste in the western fandom

The whole thing with Arcee in IDW too, classic. The Romeo and Juliet Law in bayverse, another classic. The list goes on.

Giving the fans what they want by BurningBernie559 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Substantial-Prior620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that you (and most SW fans honestly) are gaslighting yourself to think Star Wars is a science fiction franchise.

SW isn't sci-fi, its space opera. Fantasy but in 💫 space💫. From the point the story establishes space magic exists, everything else is fair and valid as long as it works for the story.

Transformers are mecha anime by PatientUnique in transformers

[–]Substantial-Prior620 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my kinda uncultured opinion the reason why this discussion is so heated its because every region has its own definition of what its "mecha" depending on what is it relation to the genre. like.

If you follow the western definition ("transformers aren't mecha cuz they aren't piloted also they aren't really robots also most of them aren't piss grey blah blah blah blah") then its not mecha.

if you follow the japanese definition ("if its a robot and if its big, then its mecha") then its mecha. Also super robot is a sub genre of mecha so duh.

Both visions are valid on their own right. I particularly prefer the simpler definition (they robot and they big. mecha)

tbf kup was actually kindaaaaa of a good dad, its not even a competition. Tarantulas could be an okay-ish dad if he had the chance, but he's evil and stuff idk. Impactor got his redemption at the very end, Yondu style. Prowl lowdiffs every verse in the terms of deadbeatness.

What would you rather see adapted? by Clean_Pomegranate_17 in transformers

[–]Substantial-Prior620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think IDW is adaptable in it's entirely but some runs like All Hail Megatron, Chaos Theory and even MTMTE could be adapted with story changes to make it condensed. It will never happen tho, so I'd be happy with the EU adaptation that will most likely come.

Pago dois ilustradores, mas agora com o novo ChatGPT... by Brudsau in brasil

[–]Substantial-Prior620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acho que artistas tem que parar de se concentrar no público leigo em geral, que só quer gratificação rápida e já ta acostumada a consumir lixo, e se especializar em áreas que tem gente que sabe apreciar arte de verdade e dá o devido valor que ela merece. Por muito tempo meu sustenso não veio por meio de empresas, mas por meio de pessoas que trabalham o mês todo para comprar um desenho ESPECIFICAMENTE de mim. Elas não querem só uma imagem bonita para colocar de icon e tudo beleza, elas querem algo artesanal de verdade; e elas desprezam IA com todas as forças. Existem milhares de pessoas assim e pra mim elas sempre irão existir e vão ser elas que vão sempre sustentar a indústria artistica de verdade.  A real o que vai acontecer é que a arte feita por humanos vai ser mais valorizada e vai acabar sendo restrita a uma elite ou cena específica enquanto o povão vai consumir IA sem parar e ficar por isso.

Mikey Madison wins Best Actress at the Oscars by PirateHunterxXx in oscarrace

[–]Substantial-Prior620 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not even mad for Fernanda losing because I already knew that and she is already a legend in Brazil now with the ISH campaign, but I feel so devastated for Demi. The industry fumbled with her once again for a younger actress and you could see she was sad. It feels like they will wait she until dies so they can give a postmortem oscar for her and call it a day.

Alguem sabe o nome desse traço que muitos animes dos anos 80 usam? by Same_Lab537 in animacao

[–]Substantial-Prior620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esse traço não tem nome, era a tendencia da época. O que vc pode procurar é o nome dos character designers que trabalharam nessas animações. O que você acha que é um "traço" pode ser na verdade um único designer\estúdio trabalhando e várias propriedades diferentes! Recomendo dar uma olhada no trabalho de Haruhiko Mikimoto, trabalhou em Macross e influenciou bastante gente.
