the concept of the dark side being inherently evil instead of simply dangerous is rooted in christianizing orientalism, and the resulting discourse around "gray jedi" is completely ridiculous and rooted in a western mindset
@SixoTF
starscream ducking and weaving in and out of the jet formation to confuse the hell out of them so they couldnt tell which jet was the alien monster is one of the best uses of the "robots in disguise" conceit
the 'resurrection' scene from the Earthspark S1 finale was animated to sync up with "The Touch", as the showrunners had hoped to license the song for the episode. (2023)
@evilvillain1231
the statues of businessmen in suits in fallout 3 in particular are some of the most unsettling ones. really great at conveying how rotten and sick this society was

UM UM UM UM UM UM PENIS? NO I MEAN LUCK. LUCKY PENIS- NO I MEAN PHALUS. PHALLUS? PENIS. NO I DIDNT MEAN PENIS I MEANT PENIS I MEAN UHHHHHH P[ENIS UH I MEAN
people who love "gray jedi" are nominally obnoxious libertarian wannabe-cops, while people who dislike the concept are aggressively white and operating entirely on christianized notions. shit sucks man
this shit boils my blood. it's such a scam. generative machine learning is NOT artificial intelligence. it does not behave like an actual mind. they only call it "AI" to make it sound more advanced than it actually is, and to capitalize on the humanization inherent in the term
@vengeful_vadam
the heatwave, commando, and ravager already didnt deserve any of the nerfs they got. if the mangler joins them im gonna be very tempted to just drop multiplayer altogether. there's more fucking weapons than the goddamn battle rifle
every white person who's either stupid or disingenuous enough to go "UMMMM IT'S GOLD ACTUALLY SO ITS NOT YELLOWFACE" owes me and every other asian on earth $10,000 each
@decepticonaiden
a detail i never see anyone bring up is the masks the seekers have. it's based on aviator oxygen masks, which ties into their jet theme, and also pulls them into the "gasmask mook" look, which is perfect since the seekers act as the decepticons' stormtrooper grunts
@Lego1upMushroom
@UpIsNotJump
theres a lot of precedent for this interpretation given much of lonesome roads (and mostly ulysses dialogue itself) is about the concepts of symbolism/meaning. his tapes and backstory seem to convey that he used to be much more grounded and true to life with his personal meanings
@Primekelly414
he looks better with the jetpack cape from the climax. wish he had it for the whole movie. im really into the gundam influence all over the zurg stuff in this film in general though
there's nothing bold, creative, or imaginative about a generic AI uprising conquering the galaxy. it's insultingly antithetical to everything halo 4 and the forerunner saga have done.
Halo 5 was grand, bold, and willing to push the universe in new directions.
It's narrative wasn't without missteps but it was not content to simply play it safe or settle into a status quo.
@shan_4rt
his final head design still has it ofc, opting to mix it with a more obvious pharoah headdress motif instead of the awesome anubis look of the concept art. i love both designs but the anubis-decepticon with the purple glow is just so raw
@vengeful_vadam
i wish that Pros™ would realize if something doesnt gel with competitive they dont need to change it in ways that affect social, customs, and campaign. their sect of the game is not the only one that matters gdi
@EnrgyDrinksOnly
id like that a lot more if it were reinforced by more fiction. star wars has occasionally tried to reconcile this issue with the force, but each respective solution is only ever relegated to one or two EU stories and is quickly ignored/forgotten about
i love how 07 megatron's flail doesnt even end in an actual mace. its just his fist. it just happens to look like a mace to us bc of how misshapen and spiny it is on account of his insane tree root fingers.
it's like if a traditional megatron did this
#maccadam
i love how half the comments are "wow... they took his BB robot mode... and put CAMARO BITS ON IT?? WOW" as if that didn't literally happen at the end of bumblebee lmao
@NITROIGUESS
megastar shippers are either really nice and smart people who like using it as an exploration of really messy emotions and dynamics and acknowledge it's not healthy, or some of the weirdest abuse fetishists youve ever seen and there's NO in between
@SixoTF
speaking of non-cullen op VAs i still think jake tillman deserves better. the moments in cyberverse where he gets to flex his stuff are really good and its a shame the show relegates him to just "peter cullen impression" 90% of the time
since ive seen this discussion crop up here and there and im an absolute sucker for production design, i put together a comparison ref for artists and just general fans who might have trouble telling the bayverse autobot and decepticon badges apart from the normal ones

I’ve played Halo since 2003. It’s my favorite game series of all-time.
If Halo Infinite doesn’t release with a robust and well made The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim then it will be one of the greatest gaming failures in history.
Have a good day.

@krystleURL
mayhaps i live under a rock
but yea the weird gay vs lesbian split sucks shit. idk where it came from but if i could pay to never see it again i swear
that part of the starship troopers thread abt the bug genocide being justified bc theyre ugly is a standout example of why i genuinely think hating nonhuman characters in fantasy is a sign of actual irl racism
@Vermillion_84
he does that pretty frequently, actually. he even does it in his most iconic moment in the g1 movie - the animators mistook it for a foregrip, and the iconography has stuck since then
