For The First Time In Forever - Blog Posts

I wrote it with an ice crystal hanging under the car. 😅❄️

ALRIGHTY TIGHTY let’s break this puppy down because for the first time i actually got excited watching a movie trailer for the Transformers ™ Franchise ™

Now, 👏 I feel like this is going to be the Spiderman: Homecoming of the Transformers franchise, and before u say anything shut up because I love Homecoming and it’s my favorite thing ever I would die for Homecoming Spidey and I would die for this Bumblebee.

Why? Whym’st?? U may ask??

That’s what we’re getting into! Open your textbooks to page none and read as I read;

First things first this movie looks REALLY good. Like. Looks as in See with your Sight Spheres (eyes). It Pleases your Eyes.

The whole trailer had this warm, kind of nostalgic, wondrous vibe to it and I just loved it so much, because the way the scenes were shot felt really close and personal. It felt like I could really connect with these characters and get involved; I felt really immersed the whole time watching this and that’s special compared to the previous movies.

The previous movies had BIG, WIDE, CINEMATIC SHOTS and HUGE EXPLOSIONS™ and. Yeah. Those are cool I guess but did you ever feel immersed? Like, you actually felt connected to the movie and the characters? I don’t know about you, but I certainly didn’t. The wide, cinematic shots made me feel small, and the constant battles made me feel stressed. These movies stressed me out.

This movie, I feel like, is that one homeboy that is waiting for you outside the party with his car and some hot cocoa, ready to listen to you vent about your boyfriend you caught cheating on you with your dog or whatever.

Second; the character designs. 

oo boy lemme ju s t like

lie down

because,,,listen //leans forward, lips touching mic uncomfortably/ the character designs are so good. And for the first time in bayverse history i can tell the autobots and decepticons apart ha👏lle👏fuck👏ing👏lu👏jah👏

  The characters really pop and it’s such a HUGE step up from the previous movies, because their colors are really saturated and it breaks thru that classic blue-ish-orange-ish filter that movies have.

I very much deeply appreciate Starscream doesn’t look like an oversized nacho chip covered in tin foil, and that his design is similar to his g1 design (as well as bumblebee’s but we knew that).  His signature bright red and blue paint are a sight for sore eyes.

 I don’t think it’s a secret that fight scenes in the previous movies were akin to watching razors and soda cans go at it in a vacuum chamber.

Bumblebee has more round edges and his paint is bright but also faded and dull, as opposed to the iconic racing stripes on bright mustard and sharp muscle car edges. He gives off this warm, friendly vibe-- like you can’t be scared of him. He’s like a teddy bear, which is popular with small children so he’s like the kid appeal character ™ without the smartassery and bad jokes.

      See, this really helps because now you have colors to associate with good and bad! So far. At least. I dunno I’m only going off what I see here in the trailer.

But yeah! Yellow=Bumblebee=Good, and Red=Starscream=Bad. Kinda like in Homecoming, where the villain’s main color was Green, and Spidey was Red. As u can see color-coding characters is my kink dont @ me

Third 👏and 👏most 👏 importantly 👏👏👏👏👏👏; we’re getting a female lead that isn’t a useless romantic interest to a whiny uninteresting male lead. 

listen scoob you have no idea how much of a fucking relief this is to me I am SICK. and TIRED. of sitting through ROMANTIC INTEREST after ROMANTIC INTEREST AS THEY COME AND GO LIKE THE CASTING WERE PLAYING A GAME OF HOT POTATO, OKAY.

LIKE

THE FEMALE LEADS WERE TREATED LIKE CARS MORE THAN THE ACTUAL CARS; THIS ONE ISNT GOOD ANYMORE REPLACE IT!!! HELLO YES WOULD U BE INTERESTED IN THE LATEST MODEL IT’S BRITISH!!! NEW!! BRAND NEW!!

I AM SO READY. IM SO FUCKING READY FOR THIS LADY ALRIGHT

COME TO ME MY NEW WIFE

FOURTH: STORYLINE 

As stated before, this movie so far gives a nostalgic, warm feel to it. That being said, it feels more scaled down in terms of storyline as well. We’re focusing on Bumblebee and his new friends, and compared to the previous movies this is kinda like a cozy cabin away from the bustling, big city. This is the chill filler episode of a tiring series.

Much like Spiderman Homecoming! Again, this comparison isn’t bad, because both movies hold a very special place in my heart with their respective franchises.

Both are a breath of fresh air and a break from the main movie storylines, and a much needed one too. 

last but not least. definitely not least

the trailer music 

🙏//inhales/

👏

listen this bitch got me #feelin things okay. I felt like I discovered a moss-covered treasure chest in the middle of a field while fireflies floated around my head and blended in with the stars in the night sky above.

It invoked a sense of wonder and curiousity, and when it swelled near the end it actually had me feeling hyped. I really hope the rest of the soundtrack is like this.

TLDR; I’m very much excited for this movie. For the first time, I’m getting a feeling from a Transformers movie trailer that isn’t despair and overwhelming emptiness. This trailer makes me feel safe and nice, and I also feel like a nostalgic 30 year old man when I’m a 16 year old girl. However, not gonna give Travis Knight my shoutout until After I see the movie. 

anyways thank u for coming to my ted talk™ goodnight folks mic drop
