>>111844691No matter how bad any other version or interpretation of a character is, there is absolutely no possible scenario in which he can be worse than this piece of shit
I’m rewatching this show for the first time in years, and my fucking goodness the disparity between the interpretations of certain characters is all over the fucking place. You have pretty much every decepticon and their characterizations are mostly great(Megatron, Blitzwing, Starscream) and at worse they’re just ok(Lugnut)
But wow did they drop the ball with Bumblebee, I really want to know what the writers were smoking when they wrote this character. He is an asshole to everyone around him for no justifiable reason (look at the way he treats Bulkhead in particular, someone who is nothing but nice to him all the time), is a extremely cocky with absolutely no reason to be (the decepticons literally ignore his stingers for fucks sake, he’s less than useless), and worst of all extremely obnoxious and uncharismatic so he can’t get away with the previously mentioned shit. And of course he has the obligatory role of the human MC babysitter like he always does, but him and Sari are so annoying yet have so many episodes dedicated to them. You know when fucking Bayformers handles a character better (yes he is that bad) than you, you royally fucked up.
Sorry for the essay blogpost but I really needed to get this off my chest and this is like the only place on the Internet that I can. TF:Animated is like half greatness and half garbage, there’s really almost no inbetween, it’s frustrating.
