First it’s the Fox and the Hound 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, it’s that clusterfuck of an idea turing the Thundercats into a Teen Titans-like rock band who lives in LA, Mum-ra with wings, and a three-eyed snarf as their leader<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then there’s this:<\/p>\n

this is what you get when Michael Bay takes on a project <\/div>\n

How that in anyway relates to any of Megs’ previous incarnations<\/a>, I’ll never know.<\/p>\n

Hollywood’s latest attempt to destroy my fond childhood memories is this bastardization of The Transformers “Megatron” who looks like some cyber-mecha gimp’s S&M rape fantasy.<\/p>\n

A fellow from the movie production told the rabid Transformer fans to chill and that you’re still working out the details behind the movie<\/a>. That’s a fair statement. But damn, man. Sometimes you can look at something and KNOW that shit ain’t right.<\/p>\n

Everyone needs to take another look at that model and re-think your efforts. It’s ok to admit that you were wrong. That’s called being grown-up.<\/p>\n

You bastards.<\/p>\n

(via i watch stuff<\/a> who has more pics<\/a> of this travesty)<\/p>\n

BTW. Kneon Transitt put this noise in less offensive words<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn’t just about fanboys grumbling over something as relatively unimportant as organic webshooters. This is about a film being made that apparently has very little to do with the source material at all, aside from featuring giant robots.<\/p>\n

And while I understand how much time, money and effort is being poured into the movie, please Mr. Murphy, don’t talk down to the fans <\/a>like we’re being unreasonable with our complaints. This movie isn’t being made because you’re “on our side” — it’s being made because the studio thinks it’ll make money. Let’s at least drop the facade and stop patronizing the fanbase, okay?<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing against you personally, but it’s just business. We’re all old enough to understand that. So let’s just be honest about it. That being said, how much business do you guys expect a film to make when you’re alienating the very fans that have made it endure this long? Honestly? <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
