Rant Account

Okay So like I DO like IDW Brainstorm but I really REALLY like G1 Brainstorm I know there's not much to his character in G1 but I really like what we got and sometimes I wish people build off of G1 Brainstorm instead of IDW all the time (No hate to anyone who based their own version of Brainstorm off of IDW he's good too! I just like G1 a lot)

So anyway I'm going to be really annoying about G1 Brainstorm cuz he is adorable and more people need to appreciate him! plus my version of brainstorm in my fan generation is based off of G1.

Let's talk about the design because he's so cute!💕

Like fucking look at him!!!

The blue they normally give him nowadays is really nice and pretty but I love the green color, But I like him more than just the colors if I'm being honest I really like his head shape more here than what we get in IDW, it looks nice in IDW but G1 he looks soo cute and it's kind of funny when you think about the fact that he has a cybertronian mullet and I love it so much

Evidence of the mullet! I think the cybertronian mullet looks adorable too.

And also I look at the weird little pointy things on his head as like a pair of ears and it kind of makes me think of a bat because also where his wings are too, big ears for hearing, his little wings are on his arms instead of his back!

💕cybertronian Bat boy💕

Also I don't know how to describe it but his G1 design just looks huggable!

He's supposed to be a little feisty guy ready to save his comrades here but he just looks adorable to me, if anything I'm like "oh no cute robo is beating up 3:".

Even though there's not much to his character I think he's adorable and character-wise he's pretty cute too!

(who is also the reason why the golden age came back in G1)

I really love Hakoda (sokka and katara’s father) but I feel like the series didn’t put enough time or attention to him as a character because he has a potential storyline they have overlooked ( not their fault bc Nickelodeon is a bitch let’s be fr)

Such as how he was dealing with the grief of his wife’s murder, and how he potentially has a very specific hatred for the fire nation beyond just what we see from Katara and sokka,

The series does put alot of good emphasis on katara’s grief being a child that lost her mother to a bullshit war, but we don’t get to see how Hakoda’s generation dealt with the repercussions of the war especially with the potential implication hakoda might have also lost a bunch of his own family members who were water benders and maybe even grew up with constant fear of raids happening in the southern water tribe.

So with him growing up with his trauma it could be a great commentary the generational gap between older and younger people dealing with trauma and struggles with their nations in constant danger, and maybe even Hakoda having a specific bias or dislike for the northern water tribe and their lacking support for the raids and attacks happening during the hundred year war.

I also believe there’s an overlooked opportunity to talk about the topic of men’s mental health and how Hakoda even dealt with all the pressure and grief of leaving his kids behind and losing his wife

Especially because sokka and katara always talk about their dad in a positive light and make him larger than life
