Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: How could we have let this happen?

[quote name="Jesus Christ Superstar"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]while Megatron's switch to the dark side made sense, the moment where the split between him and Optimus happens is really stacked in Megatron's favor. The whole movie they've been gorily ripping robots apart limb-from-limb, including comic relief moments, but in the final battle when Megatron's going to kill a robot who is basically a gential-mutilating Hiter figure, Optimus suddenly wants to spare Hitler, even though this Hitler works for their mortal enemies and will totally betray them again. The only thing they do to try and put things against Megatron is he misses one shot at Hitler and sends collateral rubble falling down on fleeing robots.[/quote] Modern "story tellers" LIVE to deconstruct and re-canonize stories into "wouldn't we ALL be the 'bad guys' in his shoes?" In twenty years there will be a universally lauded movie about how Hitler was actually a victim of transphobia and was fighting back <i>the only way the broken system-in-place would let him</i> and you'll be shocked to be labeled a [whatever]phobe for not bathing it with all 6 of your appendages. Only you, 6th time Trump voters, and similar fascists will disagree. I pre-emptively welcome you to your club. Enjoy! :([/quote]
