*sigh*

Son sit down.

I have some bad news...

...and some worse news...

Tbh the Warhammer adventures wasn't as bad as I was afraid of. The Necrons suddenly invade an Imperial Hive World, the kids spend the adventure mostly running away in terror. Space Marines come to fight the machines and lose. The Necrons blow up the planet. And all for an incredibly petty reason.

Now Marvel... that makes me nervous.
 
Reading the Forbes review where the guy bitched and moaned about it not following up on the amazing potential of TLJ had me giggling. Now the woke shills are mad because JJ tried to pivot back to the first brand of shit Disney Star Wars served up, and the fans are still mad because the second brand of shit the shills liked was still just shit and going back to the first isn't an improvement. It's like Disney designed this movie to please almost nobody.

Mind you, I still foresee it cracking a billion dollars. Fans gotta fan, and I do know some people who unironically enjoy it (and I pray for them and hope that they heal from their affliction soon). But the fact that some of the most egregious, insane, and insulting leaks turn out to be true? Oh my God-Emperor, this is incredible. I haven't felt this kind of schadenfreude since the 2016 election.
 
For informational purposes, how badly did TLK do? I never followed the Transformer series, and only watched the first... second one? The ones with Megan Fox in it because yes tiddies.

TLK needed to make 1.2 Billion minimum to turn a profit.

It made maybe $650 mill? For comparison, that's less than the first Transformers film ten years previously.

Needless to say it nearly bankrupted Paramount and forced a massive reorganization internally. They also lost a critical contract with HuaHua Media that was supposed to help future films - not all of them more Transformers films mind you - because TLK shit the bed so hard. It also had the beneficial side effect of forcing Hasbro's hand to renegotiate their terms of partnership with Paramount, picking up the tab on the Bumblebee movie when HuaHua abandoned ship...in return for being given far greater control over the end product (which they should have been doing from the get-go).

Bumblebee, the movie, is actually good, because it rejects virtually all the shit from the bay films aside from BB not talking (and the film actually utilizes it better than any bayfilm).

I will literally glass you at the bar for a fucking lie like that.

Bumblebee can only be considered good in the way being impaled on a burning red poker is good compared to having your eyes burned out first.

Bumblebee was the 80's as remembered by someone born on New Years Eve 1989, and that's just the fucking START of the goddamn problems with that piece of shit. From the weapons, to the vehicles, to the fact that I'm supposed to believe that during one of the most paranoid times in history the US military would let any fucking interstellar robots anywhere NEAR ARPANET to the fact her father played bedroom music while working on the car with his daughter to the fact they couldn't get the soundtrack right to EVERY OTHER FUCKING THING.

That movie was a "memberberrie" dumpster fire of shit.
