LOL, not a problem. It's all good. I know you're busy.

Jeez, a few weeks? =( Aww man. Well, best of luck to you then on all you got to do in that time. I look forward to resuming our discussions sometime later when you're off again.

Metacritic bothered to review this series? Whoa, I wasn't aware. If TDAS wasn't worth reviewing, why was it even made? Oh well, you don't need professional critics or critical websites to see why this thing sucked. And why the writing is far too sloppy, unfocused, and downright insulting to be considered anything professionally made. Seriously, I hope they're embarrassed for actually having gone through with this project.

Yeah, TDA gets a free pass but TDAS doesn't when someone spells out that it got mostly negative reviews? Lovely double standard, Wikipedia thank you. And I usually don't badmouth Wikipedia.

I loved all of those elements as well, they all made Star Wars fun. The Jawas are funny, R2 is funny, C-3PO is funny, and even the Ewoks are funny, even if not everyone thinks so. However, Jar Jar lacks the subtle charm of all those guys and his humor is more lowbrow, it kind of undid the high standard Star Wars used to be known for. Children love Star Wars, but it was never absurdly childish. Jar Jar Binks singlehandedly undid much of that. Sure his role was reduced in the next two films, but for the first film the damage was done. People still have not gotten over it. And the unfortunate thing is, the Gungans are not at all bad. And I don't think they're really as racist as a few people still claim. Jar Jar just made them look bad. But they were otherwise not a bad element of the film. The main representative of the Gungans in the films just happened to be the most poorly conceived and overfocused of them. Kind of like how Mike and Zoey stole the spotlight in All-Stars, so did Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace.

Nope, I don't think he did. Dumb luck, I suppose. Sure, Shia LaBeouf is a little better in this one maybe. But he still feels too much like someone put in to cater to the younger generation that did not grow up with these movies, or just to "be cool" since the world was still under the impression at the time that he was destined for greatness. Perhaps they were a tad too presumptuous there. But the swordfight's neat.

Nope, can't say I have. XD But I totally believe all of that. And yeah, those damn twins just have no purpose in existing, let alone in the film. Michael Bay sucks at comedy relief, it lacks wit and craft, and appeals too much to the lowest common denominator. Only The Rock had humor befitting of the film, that was one of his earliest movies and one of his "smarter" ones, for lack of a better word. And yeah, Optimus and Bumblebee are the only great ones, and now Ratchet's dead too. Damn it. And so's Jazz, Ironhide, jeez.

Boys love Transformers. Boys love dinosaurs. Put them together and you have a multi-billion dollar cash cow for the boys out there to fanboy over. Not the first time I've seen that kind of Hollywood logic. They even attempted to cash in on bronies by turning Rainbow Dash into a gun. Yeah, that's just stupid.

Painmagnets? I don't care for the idea, but at least they're likable dudes, the ones you named. Though then again, I'm really getting uncomfortable and even impatient with how much nearly everyone in the cast is now a painmagnet.

Me too, then we could call this damn thing non-canon and toss it to Animated Hell where it belongs. And those brain scenes..........Pretty stupid idea to put them in.

He's a good guy, and a close friend of mine. I guess I don't mind being called Akira here, but I'd probably prefer to be called Fire Eater when talking on the wikia. But whatever works for you.

Oh man, does he ever. And that's what makes him such a laughable and insulting antagonist. I hope we never see Mal again. Or Mike for that matter. I hate how everyone got shoved aside and ripped apart just to make way for him. It's no secret that Fresh and their partners play favorites, why they continue to insist there's any sort of "choices" behind a process where they inevitably make the same picks every time is just insane. But boy, they were never so blatant as they were with Mike and Zoey in this season. There's no excuse for taking it that far. And nowhere did they do anything to justify it. Glad they got called out for it in a big way.
