>>8736860>Ironically, I think the most realistic solution is for the IP holders to take more of an interest in the integrity of their IPs and crack down on creators who are blatantly disrespectful to their property. If someone consistently pisses off the fans, it seems like a pretty sound decision to fire them and find someone better. Maybe make an effort to enforce familiarity with the source material.then we'd be back to where we were in the 80s with hasbro forcing new characters they want to sell (though ironically this still happened with IDW).
What I'd really like to see with transformers, is a 26 episode project where each episode is given to a different director and team that grew up with the show/old toys and just let them do whatever. Slice of life episodes, alt take episodes, action episodes. Maybe something really artsy like a boy in japan in 1986 traveling on the train with his favorite bots, only to be met at the end by his parents who have the last bot he needs to form devastator. Or a kid that has a small robot friend, and its just him pretending trypticon is alive.
The last 4 episodes could be a 4 part action thing with gainax.
Oh and an adventure time like episode with the dinobots just walking around being dumb assholes.
Maybe an episode where BA has to plan a date for silverbolt on valentines day.
Not everything has to be the war. Or unicron. Or gay tranny space robots. People forget just how much weird bullshit was in the original show. Or the story of how kids connected with the toys in the 80s.
I purchased some old card backs a month ago and these things were like $4.00. I think people forget being a little kid, getting one of these little jets, cranes, bulldozers, crabs, etc and just having him in your pocket and playing with him on christmas break or a summer trip.
