I think people really need to make there own stories and interpretations about TFO, im saying this because im ready alot of fics rn after awhile of not reading anything and there all so cookie cutter? TFO was such a breath of fresh air for the characters origins and stuff that im like... i dont kinda annoyed that people are going straight back to the little box of character stereotypes that dont even fit most versions of the characters when they write any of the TFO characters. like why are we using the "Shockwave is emotionless" card when he had some pretty clear and expressive emotions, why are we the "Megatron was always evil card" right now did you even watch the fucking movie?
AND WHY ARE WE TRYING TO ACT LIKE BUMBLEBESS A CHILD JUST BECAUSE HES STUNTED AND TRAUMATIZED WITH NO SOCIAL AWARENESS!!! THAT MAN IS GROWN HE JUST WENT THROUGH SOME FUCKED UP SHIT
like please dude you have all this new story to work with and come up with new idea about the characters and how there relationships ae and you just ignore it all to go back to the weird g1/fanon esq versions of them that have no deeper meanings or stories and once again i am bringing it back to Starscream because why are we assuming that Starscream is going to be a the pathetic second in command whos gonna constantly plot to kill Megatron and constantly get beaten because they had ONE FIGHT SCENE THAT STARSCREAM LITERILLY EGGED HIM ON IN TO KEEP FIGHTING. and i like the dynamic they have in that way sometimes but yall make it so black and white its not even fun or interesting to read. people just make Megatron this thoughtless abuser but then say the abuse is justified because oooh look Starscreams plotting against him. mf can you be a bit creative? i mean i read a fic that supposedly is right after TFO end and Megatrons already beating Starscream and Starscream only for no reason? Starscream decides to plot against him for no reason apart from "he took my throne"? (THE ONE HE EGGED HIM ON TO FIGHT FOR AND TAKE) no progression or build up to what might be an increasingly violent but close relationship
and i could say the same about megop in TFO fics i mean they were best fucking friends yall, but i think this post is getting long and i probably sound stupid anyway. this is my monthly rant
