This blog is a complete and utter mess

I know I'm probably reaching here, but my theory is that this alternate future version of Lex Luthor somehow managed to reverse-engineer Brainiac's Krptonian tech to use for his own nefarious purposes after Superman lost his powers.

It would explain why he has an army of Eradicators and the three dots on his head.

Hasn't this been the case ever since they started adding characters from the 86 movie into the Studio Series line back in 2021?

Everyone kind of knew that Studio Series wasn't just going to be live action stuff, as let's be honest, the Michael Bay movies aren't that popular with the majority of people who collect Transformers, so having an entire toy line that's just dedicated to the live action movies isn't exactly that sustainable.

I mean, it's cool that there are people who enjoy the Bayverse stuff, but I'm not one of them.

So of course Hasbro was going to start implementing characters from G1 into the Studio Series. Beating everyone over the head with G1 is the only thing they know how to do.

I just wish we had a single main Transformers toy line.

I'm tired of the Generations line constantly getting a new name every single year, just call it one thing and be done with it. And I'm tired of Hasbro trying to insist that the Studio Series should be its own thing when they're adding every character under the sun into the mainline.

If people showed up in droves for the TADC finale, then they’ll show up for an animated ATLA movie.

The action scenes are still great, but everything else is kind of eh? I feel like this season is trying why too hard to tug at viewers’ heartstrings that it just ends up becoming melodramatic.

Like okay, there were plenty of weird unintentionally funny moments in the original series, but I could overlook that because it was still a Saturday morning cartoon. But the revival is clearly aimed at an older audience, so of course I’m going to be more critical towards its writing than the original series.

I adored the first season, I thought it was phenomenal and I was beyond hyped for season two, but I can’t sit here and pretend that I liked the first three episodes of season two.

The first and third episodes were okay and the second was a let down.

I know it’s only the second episode, but c’mon. X-Factor spent how many months arresting mutant kids for the US government? But Polaris ends up having a change of heart all because Jubilee reminded her of her time as an X-Man?

Maybe it did and nobody wanted to make a big deal out of it because they trusted Gunn’s judgement or whatever.

It’s mind boggling to me that Gunn not only believed that Supergirl’s cameo at the end of Superman would be more than enough to get audiences hyped for a Supergirl movie. But that getting someone who has zero experience writing films was the perfect way to tackle the writing.

I genuinely do hope that future episodes explain why Intergang was trying to rob Lexcorp. At first I thought that Luthor manipulated them so he could use them as pawns to make Henshaw look good, but nothing hints at this being the case. Also, Silver Banshee abandoning her brother seems way too out of character.

Yes, I understand the showrunners most likely didn't have the budget to get Lucas Grabeel back, but they could have totally had a scene in winch Silver Banshee tries to check up on Mist after he got attacked by Cyborg Superman.

Seriously, do not continue reading this post if you haven't seen the episode.

"How can you claim that Disney utterly failed to promote the series when they released a trailer that nobody saw a couple of weeks ago?"

Like I said before, I didn't even know The Doomies existed until I saw a voice actor talk about their involvement with the show on Instagram. And like most of the stuff I stumble across on IG, I quickly forget about it not long after.

Disney quietly dumping the entire series on Disney Plus with so little promotion is really fucking bad. As they're clearly treating this show like a goddamn afterthought.

I didn't even know this show existed until a couple of months ago when a voice actor I was following on Instagram posting something about working on it in their stories.

Apparently this and Dragon Striker were both announced way back in 2022 and were supposed to be released in 2024, but for whatever reason, both shows kept getting delayed.

Hate to be "that guy", but Viv doesn't give a fuck.

Seeing as Black Gryph0n is no longer associated with the show, she's not going to put out a public statement regarding him. If anything, she's just going to avoid talking about him because she most likely thinks the whole thing is "petty internet drama."

I mean, this is the same woman who refuses to call out toxic behavior within her own fandom, do you really think she's going to speak out against Black Gryph0n?
