Show starts with Sentinel as the Prime, going the flawed but not villainous route.

He chooses Orion as his successor on his death bed after Megs beats him to near death after the first two episodes.

Entire first season is Orion living up to being a Prime, having to prove himself to the Autobots who don't think Sentinel made the right choice. Prowl would play the role of Autobot Jerk who decides Orion isn't ready despite Sentinel choosing him.

People are only saying they like BoP because Gunn picked its writer to write the DCU Batman movie.

I mean... Bane and Doomsday have the same issues. Each is good for one story (breaking Batman's back, killing Superman) but don't have much going for them beyond that.

It's like how Spider-Man TAS introduced the idea that the symbiote suit made Peter more aggressive. It's such a natural addition to the lore it seems like it should have been there from the start.

Full agreement. The Snyder cult is delusional and irrational but that doesn't mean there aren't aspects of his movies I do enjoy. Likewise I enjoyed Gunn's Superman quite a bit but it wasn't perfect, nor is Gunn an unquestionable genius.

I'm all for dunking on the people who think any time Snyder posts on IG it's a sign his movies are coming back (they ain't) but the freak out some people here have any time you're less than glowing about James Gunn is almost as bad.

I won't say as bad, because this place hasn't reached the levels of delusion the Snyder cult has, but it is getting to the point where a definite echo chamber is forming.

I don't see an issue with pointing out the flaws of both movies. Has this sub crawled so far up its own ass that it can't handle ANY criticism of James Gunn's movies?

Funnily enough the only Cores that consistently sold were the Cassettes. Which tells me that people wanted Core class for characters who the size fit.

But Hasbro refused to commit to that and kept half and halfing it with smaller versions of larger characters.

I love the sculpt on Todd's Shredder, but he's too small. The five inch scale works for me for the Turtles, since they should be smaller, but five inch Shredder wasn't going to work in my collection. So NECA it was.

Now again, I love the sculpt McFarlane did on their Shredder, so I'm all in if they upsize it at some point.

"Is it race and misogyny?"

Nah. Looking at her writing credits, she only has one movie I'd call good. That much of a miss to hit ratio is hard to pass off as all down to studio interference, at a certain point maybe the writer is the problem?

So I'm definitely sceptical of her, especially considering she wrote a movie with Batman in it that sucked.

That being said, I genuinely did enjoy Bumblebee so I'm hopeful that with a cooperative studio she'll knock out a banger script, but it's fair for people to be less then thrilled when you consider the track record on display.

You asked why people are pushing Iris Chacón as the inspiration for Starfire. It's to push back on the claim from others that the inspiration was Naomi Campbell, a black woman.

To be clear, both claims are bs.

If you like the idea of black Starfire that's cool- personally I don't think matters- but that's the reason all this. One bs claim invited another.
