Bobby probably imagines his beloved China as Winnie-the-Pooh land:

Who wants to be a Minion if you can be Pepe instead?

Because when I watch The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, I think of Looney Tunes-esque anarchy.

This idea's so projection-heavy and on-the-nose that I think the beetus kicked in just so he could shut up.

Good to know bob is gen one is best type who refuse to see it was d u m b. Like why, why would he think guns are their embodiment of power and not say a tank or a bomb? Also they know what guns are, they have guns before coming to earth and their are more powerful! plus the fact it would limited his functionality as he have to have someone else use him in alt mod. I know why, it cause it was in the show he watched as child so therefore it the best, prefect and anything after is trash.
 
I'm having trouble processing the latest batch of Bob tweets. It would have been easier if he had just said that guns were bad instead of hamfisting that sentiment into 80s nostalgia.
 
Transformers was a series of 22 minute toy commercials. The 1986 movie was one of the most breathtakingly cynical exercises ever committed to film, where the first reel was almost solely devoted to killing (in brutal fashion) the older toys that were no longer being made to make way for the hot new line.

I enjoyed all of them immensely when I was 10. Bob is not 10.
 
Let's not be disrespectful of Orson Welles.

Yes, Orson Welles's final performance. How depressing is that? I did love him, and Nimoy as Galvatron, and Robert Stack, and Eric Idle -- it was a kick to hear such famous voices, even though as a kid I had no idea who most of them were.

Orson's thoughts on the project were less than flattering: "You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."

Man, I can even hear it in his voice, along with a tangent about frozen peas.

The highlights of Orson Welles' career:
30s: Mercury Theatre/War of the Worlds broadcast
40s: Citizen Kane/The Magnificent Ambersons/The Third Man
50s: Othello/Touch of Evil
60s: Chimes at Midnight
70s: F for Fake/Frozen Peas
80s: Transformers: The Movie
Given that this is Bob we're talking about, he's bound to pick the classiest, most highfalutin project of his to analyze: Transformers: The Movie.
 
The Blob tries way too hard with his jokes. The idea that the Predator from the first movie is a backwoods bumpkin unlike the rest of his race would be funny as a one off. The idea that the Predator from the first movie is an overcompensating tryhard trophy hunter would also be funny as a one off. Mashing the two jokes together and then going off on a twitter tangent where the jokes just become excuses to bash whole classes of people you don't like saps either of the original potentially funny jokes of their humor.

The same way with the Megatron thing. The idea of Megatron asking a supercomputer what puny Earthlings both worship and fear only to find out that the answer is a gun is a pretty good joke. But then he goes too far and, again, saps the potentially funny joke of its humor by underlining the political subtext. (THEY KEEP THEM IN THEIR HOMES! SECOND AMENDMENT! GAAAHHH!!)

Sometimes less is more, Blob.

You forgot The Trial AKA his best movie, IMO.

Anyway, back to Bob, what is with his obsession over 80's nostalgia? It's getting to be really sad and kinda creepy.
 
I could say the same to you, Bob.

Temper, temper. You won't win an election with that attitude.

And now he went from attacking voters to attacking Creationists with no transition. Does his brain have diabetes?

Cause as we all know, it's okay when Bob goes off on typo-riddled, crackpot theories.

I find it funny how people like Bob and the woke San Fransisco indie dev crew took Ebert's opinion on video games not being inherently art very personally and took it to mean "we must get rid of schlock and objectification is the worst sin video games made" despite the facts that:
  • Ebert gave a lot of trashy shit good reviews because he tried to put himself in the mind of the target audience and see if they would enjoy it.
  • He personally wrote the screenplay to Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, one of the trashiest, schlockiest films ever made.
  • He would regularly give films a higher score than they would normally deserve simply because said films had nude scenes featuring some actress with great tits.
Ebert was right about video games btw

In the end, Ebert had a slight change of heart about video games, where he basically said "look, they're not for me, but all art is trying to make you feel something and if you did feel some emotions when playing a video game then those feelings are perfectly valid and i have no right to take it away."

He overcame his initial prejudice and decided to live and let live. Not something Bob will ever do, mind.
 
Ebert was correct and had a perfectly valid reason for it. In art it is the emotion and agency of the artist that is being conveyed to the static observer. The observer has no input into the piece beyond their own observations of it. Whereas video games are all about the players agency. They flip the relationship. It is no longer the creative "artist" conveying their experience and emotions to the observer. But rather the observer is now the one in the drivers seat determining their own experiences. Video games are not art. They mat include elements of art. They may provide a framework by which art may happen. But the core experience is very very different from art. Not everything that brings emotion is art. A Personal Journey is not art. You can hike the Appalachian trails or Continental Divide and experience the greatest beauty in the world. Have your soul altered and inspired and emotions wrung out. But it isn't art. Video Games are like those journey's. They tell the users stories, the users journeys, not the artists. They simply provide a framework by which the user can have those journeys. Someone like Bob takes offense at this because he feels it excludes him from the cool kids club. "It must be art, because cool kids are artists. I am a cool kid therefore I art". Needless to say at this point, Bob is a shallow idiot.

At least not physically.

It's the only decade he's familiar with. Once Mario 3 hit, all other decades just rushed right past him until just recently.
