As much as Bumblebee hated to admit it, fixing up Ponyville was not an easy task for him. Compared to the town's residents, he was a mechanical giant as tall as the buildings and at least ten times larger than an average pony. So, naturally, he had a really hard time picking up tools and bricks without accidentally breaking them, let alone using them to repair damaged buildings.
Even navigating through the streets was a real challenge. He had to watch every single one of his steps in order to avoid stepping on any pony and there had been a couple of incidents where he had fallen through a newly restored house while trying not to squash a nearby bystander. Needless to say, this job was certainly one of the toughest ones he had ever taken in his entire life.
Fortunately, there was at least a silver lining in all this misery and frustration. The townspeople (especially the CMC and their respective sisters) had really warmed up to his presence. While they were initially pretty scared of him due to their previous experiences with giant robots, his victory against the Decepticons, the fact that he single handedly rescued the CMC from certain doom, and Spike's verbal skills convinced them that he was no threat. Even though he was still a little clumsy while moving around their town and assisting them with repairs, they were responding to his efforts with empathy and had accepted him as a friend. Even Shining Armor and Cadence, who were initially the most reluctant ones to trust him, were really impressed by his down to earth nature, undying loyalty, and constant willingness to help everyone around him.
However, the ponies that connected with Bumblebee the most were, unsurprisingly, the CMC. They played a huge part in helping him adjust to his new surroundings and teaching him how to pick up stuff without accidentally damaging anything. Thus, he became a lot better at assisting the restoration efforts and walking around Ponyville.
Moreover, they were a great company to be around. They frequently told him about the adventures they had during their quest to discover their true talents, and he found nearly all of them both exciting and hilarious. In fact, some of them actually reminded him of the stunts he pulled during his youth and remembering those times did put a smile to his face. The days he foolishly spent trying to perform dangerous tricks to impress his friends belonged to a time when Cybertron was truly a paradise and he really had to thank the girls for bringing those memories back to life.
He was about halfway done with fixing up the Apple family barn when they were recounting their adventure involving a pony named Trouble Shoes. While it was not particularly thrilling or funny, he did find the story quite interesting.
"Wait, so, let me get this straight," he said. "You ventured into a creepy forest in the middle of a dark and stormy night in order to find a giant stallion living in an equally creepy-looking cabin in the woods? And you did all of that without any adult supervision whatsoever?"
The fillies nodded in unison.
"Holy scrap!", he exclaimed "You three are even bolder than I thought! I probably wouldn't have made five meters into it before running back screaming."
Once they heard that statement, the CMC looked at each other in confusion before bursting out laughing.
"Oh, don't be so modest, Bee!", Apple Bloom replied. "I mean, you're a metal giant who uses a sword for pony's sake!"
"Yeah, and besides, you took down two other metal giants all by yourself", added Sweetie Belle.
"Don't forget that one of them was a lot bigger and meaner than you", Scootaloo pointed out. "The way we see it, you're one of the bravest friends we've ever had!"
Hearing that made Bumblebee both humbled and a little bit sad at the same time.
"Oh, yeah?", he replied. "Well, what if I told you I wasn't always like this?"
Upon hearing this question, the CMC's facial expressions changed from happy to puzzled and each of the girls let out a "Huh?" in unison, making Bumblebee slightly chuckle.
"It's true", he clarified. "Back when I was young and my people were still tearing each other apart for the control of our home planet, I was a lowly scout whom everyone assumed to be a coward due to my relatively small size. Sure, I had friends who supported me, but most of them were in the same situation as I was. Bigger stronger bots almost always pushed us to the sidelines, because they feared we would endanger their missions by running away at the first sign of trouble. It wasn't long before we realized that we had to do something in order to prove ourselves to be just as competent and fearless as our comrades. So, we decided to take on the scrapheap partner of that big unfriendly giant you mentioned, thinking that he would go down with no trouble at all due to him being nearly the same size as us. How do you think that turned out?"
The intrigued fillies thought about it for a few seconds before Apple Bloom suggested, "I reckon it went badly?"
Bumblebee let out a heavy sigh and replied, "No, it was worse. Way worse. For one, he didn't even bother fighting us. He just fired a few shots at us and then, drove off into a series of underground tunnels. Following him was probably the worst and definitely the last mistake we've ever made as a team. The chase led us through a rugged and booby-trapped route that cost me my entire team. I alone managed to survive with a few serious injuries while all of my friends at the time were lost. Crosshairs, Drift, Hound...”
He covered his saddened face with his hand and let out an even heavier sigh. Just then, he felt something touching his foot and looked down to see an equally sad Sweetie Belle placing her hoof on him.
"We're really sorry, Bee. Are you okay? Is there anything we can do to help?"
Bumblebee quickly cleared her throat and gave them a small embarrassed smile.
"Nothing's wrong, guys. I'm okay. It's just that nostalgia can make me a little emotional sometimes, but it's nothing to worry about," he explained. "Anyway, after that traumatizing experience, our leader Zeta Prime demoted me to the messenger rank and I was indefinitely banned from engaging the enemy in any of the missions. Of course, that didn't stop me from secretly wasting every single Decepticon on my path during these messenger missions. I just couldn't get over the fact that my friends never got to prove themselves as brave warriors. So, it only made sense to me that achieving this dream myself would be the best way to honor their memory."
"And you did it, right?", an extremely curious Scootaloo asked.
"Well, not at first, actually", Bumblebee replied. "The Cons soon became tired of the devastation I was bringing to their ranks and so, they sent a small army to set up an ambush for me. I fell right into their trap and would've surely been turned into a scrap pile if it weren't for the impeccable timing of our newest commander, Optimus. He saved me from the ambush all by himself and right after that, he took on the role as my mentor in order to show me the error of my ways."
"What do you mean 'the error of your ways'?", inquired Apple Bloom. "Were you making a mistake up until that point?"
"Yeah, a big stupid mistake", Bumblebee answered. "You see, the big guy showed me that being brave isn't really about defeating your enemies with raw strength, but rather standing up for those you care about against impossible odds. Up until that point, what me and my friends were displaying had nothing to with bravery. It was just pride and anger to hide our fear of rejection. Optimus was the truly brave bot when he risked his life to save mine from a barrage of enemy fire. From that moment on, I pledged to him my unwavering allegiance and dedicated the rest of my life to being as brave as him. It took practically forever, but I think I finally got the hang of it. What do you think?"
"Are you kidding?!", Sweetie Belle happily exclaimed. "You put your own life at risk to save both us and the entire town from those monsters. If that's not true bravery, I don't know what it is!"
"It's what Rainbow Dash does all the time!", Scootaloo added. "Let me tell you, she's pretty much the staple of bravery and loyalty around here."
An obviously touched Bumblebee replied, "Really? Well, then, I guess all the trouble I went through during the past few millennia was totally worth it. Also, this 'Rainbow Dash' does sound like someone I'd probably be honored to meet at some point. Where is she right now?"
Apple Bloom answered, "I heard she and Pinkie Pie went to a far away land to solve a friendship problem, but I'm sure she'll be back here by tomorrow. Hey! I just had a great idea! What if our special talent is being brave like you and her?! I mean, you did say were pretty bold when we traveled through that dark creepy forest to find Trouble Shoes."
"Um, I hate to break it to you guys, but being brave and being bold aren't exactly the same thing", Bumblebee clarified. "In fact, I think the word I should've chosen is 'persistent', which isn't really enough for true bravery. In other words, being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."
The girls unanimously let out "Oh" in disappointment and hung their heads in embarrassment, causing Bumblebee to kneel beside them and gently stroke their manes.
"Aw, chin up!", he said. "You know that doesn't necessarily mean you haven't yet done or won't ever do anything truly brave, right? Tell me, have you ever stood up for someone against impossible odds? "
They thought about it for a moment before Sweetie Belle suggested, "Well, after we met Trouble Shoes, we learned that he was just an unlucky colt who wanted to be a rodeo star more than anything. So, we defended him against the whole town and convinced them of his innocence. Does that count?"
"Absolutely!", Bumblebee happily declared. "See? You're getting the hang of it at such a young age. Imagine what you can do when you get older!"
Scootaloo asked, "That's awesome and all, but doing that didn't get us any closer to getting our cutie marks. If true bravery isn't our special talent, then what is it?"
Bumblebee replied, "I really don't have a definite answer at the moment, but I can safely say that you're on the right track on finding it. Besides, just like how Optimus helped me on my journey in learning how to be a truly brave soldier, I'm positive you'll help one another on your journey in getting your marks. Whatever they may end up be, you'll find them together."
With their spirits restored after hearing that, the CMC smiled to him and gave each other one big hug.
"Thanks, Bee!", Apple Bloom cheerfully said. "You're really good at giving helpful advice, you know."
"Yeah, just like how Zecora does it all the time", Sweetie Belle added.
"Hey, how about we introduce you to her?", Scootaloo suggested. "I'm sure she'd be thrilled to meet you."
"Oh, my gosh! You're right!", exclaimed Apple Bloom. "Come on! Let's go ask Applejack about it!"
They quickly ran off towards the town while Bumblebee watched their departure with pride. Just then, Spike came along to check on the barn, which was more or less fully repaired.
"Oh, hey, Spike!", Bumblebee greeted him. "How goes the town's repairs? Is everything completely fixed?"
"Yeah, pretty much", replied Spike. "Thanks for all your help. We wouldn't have probably wrapped up everything in such short time without you."
"It's nothing", Bumblebee clarified. "I'm just trying to clean up the mess I made, that's all."
"Well, the crusaders did convince the mayor into building your statue afterwards", Spike added. "By the way, is it true that you promised them to teach your fighting moves?"
"What can I say? I can't really refuse someone as adorable as them", Bumblebee jokingly replied. "Come to think of it, maybe you could some of them too. After all, you'll need all the help you can get during your upcoming showdown with Barricade. What do you say?"
Spike briefly pondered about it and, soon enough, smug smile appeared on his face.
"I say, sign me up, coach!"
"Alright, then! Give me the best punch you got!"
Bumblebee held out his hand and Spike punched it as hard as he could. Unfortunately, he felt immense pain afterwards. Just as they were about to move on to something else, the CMC arrived with excited expressions on their faces.
“Rarity and Applejack said yes!”, declared Sweetie Belle. “So, let’s go already!”
“Do you wanna come with us, Spike?”, Scootaloo asked. “We’re going to introduce Bee to Zecora.”
“Well, uh, I was supposed to oversee the remaining repairs, but since pretty much everything’s been wrapped up, I guess I can take a little break”, he replied. “So, yeah, let’s go already.”
“Very well”, Bumblebee declared. “You girls mentioned Zecora lives somewhere between Ponyville and the middle of Everfree Forest. That shouldn’t be too hard to find. Besides, we can go there and come back much faster in my vehicle form, compared to going on foot. Well, ‘on hoof’, in your case.”
He gently grabbed both the CMC and Spike before happily asking them, “So, who’s ready to go on the greatest ride of all time with everyone’s favorite Autobot?”
As soon as all of them cheerfully yelled “Aye!”, he transformed into his vehicle form and drove off into the forest. As predicted, the enjoyable ride only lasted a few minutes, but it didn’t end because they reached their destination. Instead, it ended when abruptly transformed back into his robot form and looked at a holographic map of the forest that was being projected from his arm.
On both the upper and lower parts of the map was a blinking dot. The one located on the lower part represented Bumblebee himself and the one on the upper part represented an energy signatıre coming from an unusual source that was Cybertronian in nature. If it was what Bumblebee thought it could be, then he had to go to the location of the source and conduct an investigation. Though Optimus ordered him to stay close to Ponyville, he couldn’t ignore this discovery.
When he asked the CMC and Spike what lied in the direction the signal was coming from, their answer did puzzle him a bit:
The Castle of the Two Sisters.
Next chapter title. Let mercy come.
The song is now stuck in my head
9713787
It was stuck inside EVERYONE’s head back in the day.
And for good reason!
9713490
Too right. But I wouldn't hold high expectations for episode 9. Not if Kathleen Kennedy has her way. After the complete failure of The Last Jedi and Solo, everyone through the president of Lucasarts Studios would have been fired, however that's not a case, Apparently her contract has been renewed for three years....three more years of her feminist and SJW BS.
9715344
Great. Just great.
No doubt she’ll force Abrahams to keep writing Rey as a Mary Sue.
9715486
That's for damn sure. I swear to God, this is the problem with SJWs, they're always pushing their Mary Sue characters for everything. No. One. Likes. Mary Sue characters. They're a kill joy for whatever story they're in and insulting to the real characters and the fans.
Rey could have been a great female protagonist, but with the constant pandering and catering to them SJW minority rather than the major fanbase. she comes off as dull and lack personality. I can't take her seriously as a main character. I mean out of all the lightsabers in the star wars galaxy, why did it had to be the lightsaber of the Skywalkers, something that had a deep and rich history (until a certain director made it into a mockery).
And if wasn't bad enough, she managed to beat Kylo on the first match up. Someone who had years of training from Luke Skywalker. And all the other bullshit stuff this character was able to do. This is why I didn't like this character all too much, she's too good at everything.
It's characters like that is the reason why I don't really like Twilight Sparkle all too much, sure she has some flaws. But when you take a closer look at her background story...she has it all and has it good. She was born and raised in the capital, has two loving parents, a loving big brother, who was the captain of the royal guard, a caring foalsitter, who eventually became her sister in law and alicorn to boot. A baby dragon, whi has been her childhood since he first hatched. She became the ruler of Equestria personal student, who in turned became a 2nd mother to her. Five loving friends, who would be there for her no matter what. And finally she became an alicorn herself after she solved a problem that wasn't really world threatening and created a new spell to fix said problem. she earned her those wings....that right there is bullshit....I could understand and accept it if she had to fight some villain who was going to destroy the world and she was willing to put her very life on the line or end up self sacrificing herself for her all she loved. But no....she got those wings easy.
To me, she comes off too Mary Sueish. And I'm going to stick with that mind set.
9718014
To be fair, Kylo was injured during their first fight and therefore, couldn’t attack with full power. Also, the visions Rey saw when she touched Luke’s lightsaber does suggest she has some connection to Kenobi. Maybe she’s her granddaughter?
So, while I liked her in The Force Awakens, it was The Last Jedi that turned her into a real Mary Sue. I mean how can she train all by herself on that island and become strong enough to defeat those royal guards and lift dozens of huge rocks?! THAT MAKES NO GODDAMN SENSE!!! I swear, if Kennedy isn’t fired by the next anthology film, I’m never watching another Star Wars movie.
As for Twilight, remember that she had to face 4 extremely dangerous villains before becoming an alicorn. Since fighting these villains all by herself would be suicide, she had to learn to work together with her friends and family in order to restore harmony.
Also, these villains were no joke. Nightmare Moon tried to plunge their world in enternal darkness, Discord and Chrysalis almost tore their friendship apart through trickery and manipulation, and Sombra’s magic nearly enslaved Twilight with her worst nightmare. So, please don’t assume that she didn’t face any dangerous challenges in her journey to becoming a hero.
If you’re curious about why her character appeals to so many people, I highly recommend that you check out the video reviews of the episode “Amending Fences” by FOB Equestria and Silver Quill on YouTube.
9718194
Friend, Rey was Mary Sueish, in Force Awakens and she only got worse in The Last Jedi.
As for Twilight...I still don't like her, since season one to season six or seven. And MLP are a complete joke...when compared to real threatening villains. I've seen enough cartoons and anime and etc. to know about villains. And to keep this PG, they are a far cry from Disney villains. And Nightmare Moon wasn't much of a villain mostly because how the pilot episodes wrote her character. She didnt anything major other what she did in those two and no those other episodes where she showed up don't count, when come to her actually physical appearance in the show. The problem with MLP:FIM is they don't have real villains I can't take seriously and this coming from someone who love villain characters. A hero is only as good as the villain they faced against.
9718527
Actually, you could be right about Rey. I mean, her theoretical relation to Kenobi could explain her unusually strong Force connection. However, it does not explain her sudden proficiency in mechanics and piloting ships.
At least Luke’s knowledge in these subjects made sense, because he was the son of Anakin (the greatest mechanic and pilot in the galaxy). Rey’s skills, on the other hand, just came out of knowhere and are never really explained.
Looks like we’ve found yet another problem Abrahams needs to fix in Episode 9.
9718719
Once again blame Mr. Johnson and Last Jedi. All the questions that were left unexplain in Ep.7, were suppose to be reveal in Ep.8. along with the origin of the First Order and the Supreme Leader Snoke.
And who were Rey's parents....who turns out to be nobodies. Rey is powerful in the force is because the writers deemed it so.
Luke was powerful in the force, but he needed extensive jedi training with Master Yoda before becoming a jedi knight and later a jedi master. And Luke went through hell to get there, I mean for crying out loud he got his ass kicked in his first lightsaber duel by Darth Vader and lost his right forearm, when he was trying to rescue his friends. And almost DIE from everything that happend on the Cloud City.
So when you take a few steps back and really think about it, Rey had it easy.
And one last thing watch this YouTube vid, it talks about the problem with SJW Mary Sue.
9718970
1. Yeah, Snoke’s death pissed me off so much that I almost left the movie theater.
2. The fact that Rey’s parents were nobodies does not really unravel the mystery behind her heritage. For all we know, she could still be the descendant of a powerful Jedi. That’s why this reveal didn’t bother me so much, compared to the rest of the idiotic moments I had to sit through (e.g. The relationship between Finn and Rose).
3. Kennedy really needs to take several lessons from James Cameron about creating strong female characters. I mean the female characters in Cameron’s movies (Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley, Neytiri, etc.) were truly amazing.
9719129
1. Yeah, I know right. When I first saw that on my PS4, I Practically threw my Glass bottle of root beer at the wall and yell "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!! FUCK YOU RIAN JOHNSON!"
Why would you kill the main villain?! Snoke was a good villain, I actually took him seriously as a real threat to the main characters and more. Only to see him kill on the most pathetic way possible, just so they could make Kylo the main villain character? That right there is bull fuckry. That would be like Tempest Shadow taking out the Storm King in the middle of the MLP movie and becoming the main villain for the remainder of the movie.
2.The Finn and Rose subplot was so pointless, asinine and weak. I had the feeling Finn was supposed to love Rey. Since he seems to care more about her. And Rose Tiko or whatever came out no where and oh my God she was annoying and MisAnthroPony pretty much said what needed to be said about her. And I was fine with Finn performing an honorable self sacrifice to protect his friends. But Nooo, fucking Rose had to come in and fuck that up and said one of the most asinine lines I ever hear and pissed me off to no end with that kissing scene while the big fucking door was being blown up! MAP was right Rose is like Pinkie Pie done horribly wrong.
3. And don't forget Alita from Alita: Battle Angel. James was always been known to be a big fan of manga and anime. He also wanted to make a live action of Alita for the longest time until this year. And I say he did both the anime and manga some justice. So yeah he has my respect. He's a filmmaker who understands the fans and doesn't insult them and he ten times a better director than Johnson.
9721279
Here is what MAP's worst enemy, Doug Walker (a.k.a. Nostalgia Critic) had to say about The Last Jedi:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUIk3IHgK-s
Be warned, some of the content is emotionally disturbing.
9721723
WTF? What kind of review was that? Damn..Doug Walker really lost his touch. He used to be a good reviewer.
I rather watch Film Theories by MatPat.
9721962
Behold, the last good Nostalgia Critic video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctembQrH_0k
9721279
Yeah. I plan to make a female superhero (actually, she's more of another) for my future comics, her motivation is killing the robber who killed her mother when she was four years old.
9723127
OK? What does this had any thing what I said?
9723230
I'm pointing out how Rose was a hero for no reason at all, she pretty much had no motivation, and was as interesting as a plank of wood, and the only interesting thing about a plank of wood is it's use as a post apocalyptic weapon. My character, Red Smoke, has a reasonable motivation for being an anti hero, has the personality of someone who still healed from the loss of a loved one, and she's a ninja (with an actual ninja outfit).
9723593
Ah, I see. Well, other thing about Rose is her mood changes way too fast for a human. You know talking about. She's like Pinkie Pie done wrong and made to be the most annoying character in the film. And this coming from someone who isn't much of a fan of Pinkie Pie, other than her other personality Pinkamena.
9723634
That's what I hated about Rose. How can someone's personality change that fast? Hell, even Erza Scarlet is more interesting than Rose Tico, and I am really terrified of the Queen of the Fairies.
9723646
Have you watched MisanthroPony’s review of The Last Jedi?
If not, I highly recommend that you check it out. It may be a bit long, but it’s definitely worth your time.
9723677
K.
9723634
Have you heard the rumor that Daisy Ridley might be cast as Batgirl in DCEU?
9723844
Is that right? Well, let's hope whoever writing the story is a competent one and not some SJW idiot, had enough of that crap with Captain Marvel. I rather watch Wonder Woman life action movie any day.
Through I think some of the fans are going to bitch about the fact actress playing as Batgirl is not ginger or something asinine. Which is odd and funny at the same time. I mean Have you ever notice that in every redhead character in DC universe are being replace with either an African American or normal hair color white person?
9723886
Yeah, I noticed it. The actress who played Mera in Aquaman was blonde white woman and the one who played Starfire in Titans was African American. Personally, this did not bother me at all. Both actresses played their respective characters really well and the characters themselves had pretty interesting personalities.
As for Batgirl, I highly doubt that it will feature any SJW bullshit. DC films may not be as popular as Marvel, but they've never lowered themselves to Captain Marvel's level even in truly terrible installments like BvS and Suicide Squad. Besides, their current plan is to make good movies, flesh out their characters, give directors full creative freedom, and not take themselves too seriously.
9723958
Well, as long they get the character right and show respect to the source material and the fans. I have no problem. BTW, have you hear about that fight in Disneyland's Toontown?
9723974
Yes, I did.
A truly despicable sight, in my opinion.
I mean, Disneyland was supposed to be the happiest place on Earth for kids and families.
This and the fact that Galaxy's Edge is now a ghost town are not good news at all.
9724035
I know right. that whole mess made Toontown look like a bad neighborhood from one of the big cities. And hell, just like one the law enforcement were too slow to respond and came too late to the scene before the damage was done. Disneyland is supposed to be the very last place were that kind of shit happens.
My God, if Walt Disney himself was alive to see this, he would be rolling in his grave. Not only that but this is unacceptable behavior by those black folks.
By fighting in the park, they're only providing the stereotypes you know what I'm talking about, everyone been commenting on the YouTube about this whole incident and you know the black community aint too happy about this.
Furthermore, you got to be a real piece of shit to hit your own woman like that or any women like that. Its men like that, it's no wonder why there so many goddamn feminists and SJW snowflakes bitching about everything.
And yeah, of course Galaxy's Edge is a ghost town is because no one wants to go there when there is only one ride working and everything being so damn outrageously expensive. Plus its theme after the sequel trilogy, which has been less than stellar with the Star Wars fans both new and old. People want the original trilogy and prequel trilogy, they want Mr. Lucas Star Wars universe.
As of now this has not been a great year for Disney.
9724170
Financially, not bad at all. They already made a shit ton of money from Avengers: Endgame, and will certainly gain even more from the live-action Lion King and Frozen 2.
Emotionally, very bad. This incident, the emptiness of Galaxy’s Edge, and the fact that none of their movies this year are original can strike a huge blow to people’s trust in them.
9724211
And yet they don't care. if they did they wouldn't already working on live action The Little Mermaid and Mulan.
Oh, and check this out.
I don't know what the hell is going on with Disney, they be gaining a lot of money, but its costing their public image. But than again I guess they don't care about their customers anymore, other wise they wouldn't have decided a dying boy final wish to have spiderman image on his grave stone.
9724219
I initially didn't mind these remakes, because I really enjoyed the live-action Cinderella and The Jungle Book. However, Disney did overstep the boundary when they decided to remake classics such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid.
I mean, what is the point of remaking these masterpieces? They're basically perfect on their own and do not require any major change, in my opinion. I think Chris Stuckmann analyzed the situation best in his review of Aladdin 2019:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VCwsZn3cZ4
Also, if Disney ever decides to do a live-action remake of Tarzan, I will immediately begin a petition to shut down the production!
9725139
You know they're going to do it. Disney seem to lack imagination and want to milk these classic films for all of their worth. So not even the under rated Disney films are not safe.
BTW, check this out. Looks like Mr. George Lucas is making a statement and a big fuck you to Disney.
9727340
I never thought I'd say this but...
COME BACK, GEORGE!
Come back and deliver us from this new evil!
At least YOUR writing is fun to criticize!
9727822
Well, like I said before say what you want a about George Lucas and his aging film directing skills. But at least he gives a damn about his own creation and his fans. I don't know how he's feeling seeing Disney destroying his own work that took many years to build. But for him do show the original uncut version from 1977 must be saying something on how he feels about it.
9729420
Three Simple Truths:
1. George should have been in charge of this franchise from start to finish.
2. Selling Lucasfilm to Disney was the biggest mistake he has ever made.
3. None of the Disney films that came after 2016's Moana have been original or creative.
9729656
Yeah, its seem like they've been lacking creativity as of lately. They're more focused on making money more than anything else. But what can you do?
Hey change in topics. check this out.
9734635
As someone who has never seen a single episode of the G1 MLP cartoon and only watched a few clips of it on YouTube, I don't really have much to say about this.
However, from what I've seen of the original show, I can safely say that it's a mediocre but harmless piece of entertainment with a few doses of charm. Therefore, I don't think Hasbro re-releasing G4 toys in the original style and then mocking the G1 cartoon for its silliness is a good idea. Yes, the original show does look silly, but the current show wouldn't even exist without its popularity.
Here's an even dumber idea:
Re-releasing the Transformers movie toys in the G1 style and then criticizing the original show for its corniness. I watched more than a dozen episodes of this show and while it's not the best Transformers show out there, it's still a pretty entertaining cartoon with cool robot designs and creative storylines. And again, none of the better Transformers series wouldn't exist without the this show's immense popularity.
9736142
Good point. I really don't know what's with Hasbro as of lately. I just find a bit odd they're doing this when MLP:FIM is about to wrap up and close the book for 4th Gen MLP, and make way for 5th Gen MLP, no matter what they're planning to do, if the early concept art is any thing to go by. On a side note I do like the idea of pony tribe change for three of the Mane 6, Fluttershy as a unicorn, Pinkie Pie as a pegasus (which is kinda funny in itself consider the early concept arts for her), and Twilight Sparkle as an earth pony. that's going to be interesting.
Oh and one more thing, it looks like star wars episode IX is already having problems, there's been words of the movie requiring reshoots. Whether it's for the best or not is yet to be known.
9736379
Well, both Rogue One and Solo went through extensive reshoots.
While Rogue One turned out to be a pretty good movie, Solo became a huge disappointment.
So, yeah, reshoots will either make or break Episode IX.
