R.IP. Stan Lee.
Thanks again for everything Stan. RIP.
Their names, origins, personalities, factions, etc.
Otherwise they'd just be piloted mecha.
So, thank you, Stan Lee.
God bless your brilliant imagination that forms the basis of every child's fantasies.
Excelsior!
I'm actually GLAD that Stan 'The Man' NEVER CAMEOD in any TF movie.
You see, Stan Lee (bless him) was all about STORYTELLING, PLOTS, IDENTITY (How else would you explain 2 teams of similarly dressed heroes: The X-Men and The Fantastic Four; having amazing, different personalities and character) and FUN.
The movies never got this.
It's like camaraderie is an alien or taboo subject.
The CARING, VALIANT Optimus Prime in the G1 cartoon (also MARVEL) is PURE STAN LEE. Also the brilliant dynamic of the Autobots!
Even the Decepticon interaction, code of conduct and motivation REEKS of Stan Lee's principles for bad guys, making them truly three dimensional.
Which is something Michael Bay (and KABAM) could learn A LOT from. Intelligent design BEATS spectacle EVERYTIME.
Stupid people like stupid things. Which is why the movies only showcase FORCED badassery. No one cares about the turgid Autobots and their horrible, mean-spirited attitude towards each other, or Murdermus Prime, who's a combination of a fortune cookie and a chainsaw.
- Stan Lee*
- Bob Budiansky**
- Floro Dery***
- Herb Trimpe (G1 Artist)
- Don Perlin (G1 Artist)
- Derek Yaniger (G2 Artist, gave them bullets, machine parts)
- Simon Furman (G1 till NOW!)
- Bob Forward (Added intelligence, with BW)
* Marvel's Big Cheese
** Literally INVENTED TF lore
*** G1 Aesthetic Creator
I'd add Jim Shooter to that list. He basically created Transformers, then gave the idea to Denny and then Budiansky to develop.
D'oh!
Mos Def
But i never understood why MARVEL (well, Budiansky, Shooter, etc) and FLORO DERRY never get the credit they DESERVE.
Kinda makes me puke how this talented bunch never get as much as a mention or thanks in any of today's transformers media.
Disgusting.
Instead we get armies of Bay apologists THANKING him for making them 'badarse'.
He KILLED THEIR PERSONALITIES.
KILLED THEIR HONOR.
STOP KILLING STAN LEE'S LEGACY OF WIT, HEART AND INTELLIGENCE.
