what
It's another huge universe series, and it's also a popular movie theme.
In the carnival and abuse, the live-action Transformers series has gone through 10 years.
Da Cong repeatedly wanted to write but gave up again and again, just because he couldn't completely sort out the black hole of the story of Change 5.
Before Change 5 was released, there was already an overwhelming Transformers Ultimate Guide.
So in 2018, Bumblebee will release an independent movie, not to talk about it.
What are the new roles in Change 5, don't talk about it.
How much to invest in the variable 5, how to shoot the special effects, and what IMAX dual-camera shooting, let’s not talk about it.
Is selling copies the last time you directed Transformers? no talking.
This article will combine the American version of the "Transformers Live Manga" series, as well as the 1984 G1 animation (98 episodes), and the 2010 3D version of "Transformers: Proof of Leader".
But the focus is on the live-action film version of the Transformers series as the core, and I will make detailed timeline sorting and inferences for everyone (though it feels like it will be wrong).
*All Transformers comics and animation related materials and supplementary lessons are all from TFG2. Thank you for having such a good website.
Keywords: Aftermath
Change 5 used 9 heavyweight screenwriters to discuss the formation of the Transformers universe in a closed-door multi-day round table level meeting.
After watching the movie, Da Cong found that either the 9 screenwriters finally discussed the score and they fell apart, or that selling copies could not control this huge story line.
When watching the movie, I meditated on WTF several times in my heart .
Obviously, this is not a reboot of Transformers. Because there are scenes and characters from 1-4 in the movie.
And the protagonist is also the protagonist of Change 4.
However, according to the development of the plot, there are many contradictions between the plot of Change 5 and the plot of 1-4, and many explanations have become far-fetched.
In fact, Dah Cong really does not hate this change 5, and will not be angry, disgusted, or angry for this change 5.
Dah Cong just couldn’t understand why he had such a strong anime background in the Transformers series. When it was made into a movie, the story was still unclear, the background was vague, and the contradiction between the plots of the previous movies. It's so obvious again.
Let me talk about the flaws first
1. Merlin drunkard, in a few words, you can get the scepter with the power of Cybertron.
Afterwards, the Transformers Knights and Arthur Knights cooperated.
This kind of Byzantine plot-style opening makes people feel so strange.
I just wanted to ask, why help King Arthur, and why help the Red Crusaders. In the dark period of human development, no war is just.
2. Later in modern times, the little girl Isabella leads a large part of the plot at the beginning. Then there is no more.
Is such a role dispensable?
3. If the background of the world is that aliens are constantly invading the earth, and it has been detected that Setan is about to hit the earth, then the survival of the earth is at stake.
But the Oxford female doctor Vivienne is still playing polo with others in the UK? !
American kids go to the ruins of King Kong to have fun together after school ?
Some other countries in Cuba have free zones?
This setting is so strange. Do you want to express that every human being is numb, or do you want to black out the state management institutions?
4. The Human Anti-Transformers Force (TRF), said it would oppose the alien invasion to the end.
But halfway through, they suddenly cooperated with Megatron and captured the Autobot together, which has already pulled the human IQ to a negative value.
After that, the cooperation with Megatron was nothing but cooperation with Automate.
what's the situation? !
5. If Cybertron is the hometown of Transformers, according to the animation, according to the previous movie, Cybertron is a metal planet.
But when Cybertron was changed to Earth, how did I see that Cybertron had a small amount of vegetation and greenery? !
And when humans and Autobots attacked the launcher, there was a lot of dirt and sand in the place where they were fighting! Is it just to show a battle similar to a human battle for the beach?
Well, Dah Cong knows that selling copies can control the battle scenes well, but when watching this fight, I thought I was watching the science fiction version of "13 Hours of Crisis".
The director sells copies in order to return to the sand and dust battle that he is most familiar with. It is unscientific to add soil and vegetation to Cybertron!
In addition, the film has many pits that I dug out, but I feel that I don't even bother to fill in the rhythm.
If the movie really wants to dig a hole, it must dig a hole that the audience is willing to jump into, not a hole that makes the audience want to spit into it.
Then talk about the 5 weaknesses
Keke, nine screenwriters, right?
Are nine screenwriters in charge of nine stories, and then nine editors and nine main photographers? Nine. .
The biggest feeling of watching this change 5 is that it is cut into many small fragments. If you watch it alone, it feels okay.
Especially the scenes of drag racing and fighting, it should be said that it is a visual feast.
However, when these segments are combined into a movie, there are many problems with the connection between the characters and the connection between the stories.
What is particularly disappointing is that when the most important plot is unfolded, the editing speed is too fast.
There is no way to digest this scene properly. Fighting scenes are coming, advertisements are coming, and not funny jokes are coming.
In the performance of the actors, Dah Cong wanted to say that Anthony is Anthony, Mark is Mark, and Transformers is Transformers.
Actors and movies are separated.
There is no problem with the actors acting. The problem lies in the role setting and the script.
Before the change of 5 was released, Dah Cong thought that the earl played by Anthony would definitely die.
really.
After all, a grand actor like Anthony, promises you to play a Transformers.
In addition, from the amount of story extraction. Excluding special effects fighting scene time, advertising time, and funny bridge time, the 5 Transformers should be:
Change 1: Storytelling nearly half of the time.
Change 2: Tell a story one-third of the time.
Change 3: Tell a story for a quarter of the time.
Change 4: One-fifth or less time to tell stories.
Change 5: Return to a quarter or more time to tell the story (but the story says it collapsed).
But from the perspective of Da Cong's own expectations, I always hope to see more thinking and more reasonable stories in Change 5.
But things are counterproductive.
There is also the most important protagonist of Transformers-Optimus Prime.
Almost became the role of soy sauce.
Optimus Prime appeared at the beginning, and then entered a long period of disappearance, and only appeared in the last 40 minutes (the whole drama is pitiful).
For the entire Transformers series. Optimus Prime’s destiny is to misrecognize a foreign country.
Since Optimus Prime came to the earth, he has unconditionally helped and protected mankind, even at the expense of his home planet.
And human beings question and fear these alien steels again and again.
In Change 1, humans first met Optimus Prime and the Autobots he led, and looked forward to and admired them.
Change 2 Humans cooperated with Autobots, but humans began to have reservations, and at the same time threatened Transformers and questioned them.
Change 3 The relationship between humans and Autobot began to break. Even repatriated Autobot to leave the earth.
Change 4 humans and universe bounty hunters exchange conditions to clean up Transformers on a large scale.
Change 5 humans formed an anti-alien army to eliminate and clean up any alien life.
And Optimus Prime is still stupid, foolishly, and wishful thinking, loving what he calls his second "home"-the earth and mankind.
If I change to Superman, I can understand.
After all, Superman has come to the earth since he was a baby, and he was raised and educated by human parents.
It is understandable that Superman has feelings for the earth and mankind.
But Optimus Prime, if according to the description of the movie, it will take more than ten years to come to the earth, where the accumulation of feelings made him think that the earth is his hometown.
This makes Dah Cong think of the word "hometown", what is the meaning of hometown, is to make you have a sense of belonging.
Optimus Prime always keeps saying that the earth is his second hometown. As for Optimus Prime, his Autobots, and even the entire Transformers community, since the second movie, humans have no longer welcomed them.
Where does the sense of belonging come from, where does the hometown come from? ! Where is the reason and motivation of Autobot to help and rescue the hopeless humanity? !
This is the biggest and most rooted problem in the movie version of Transformers.
Misrecognize a foreign country.
For Autobot, for Optimus Prime, I can only think of this word.
Keywords: time and history
Since Change 1, a lot of evidence has actually been used to show that Transformers have been to the earth a long time ago and have a close connection with the earth.
The plot also combines some important historical events of mankind with the visit of Transformers.
In Change 1, the Hoover Dam was built for the purpose of building the seventh area, studying the remains of Megatron, and obtained the origin of modern technology from the research. Satellites, lasers, and spacecraft are all reversed from Megatron. Researched.
In Variation 2, the construction of the pyramid became related to the energy source.
In Change 3, the United States landed on the moon during the Cold War. The ultimate goal was to study the Transformers Ark spacecraft that fell on the back of the moon.
In Change 4, the disappearance of the dinosaur era is also related to the original founder of Transformers.
Therefore, in Change 5, the history of King Arthur, the history of World War II, and some major historical events all have the shadow of Transformers.
Therefore, tampering with human history and adding to the story of Transformers is nothing new in Change 5, but it continues and strengthens the history of symbiosis and symbiosis between Transformers and humans.
Therefore, Da Cong used the live-action comic version and the G1 animation version, mainly based on the movie version of the Transformers plot. Rewrite the entire timeline of Transformers.
But Dah Cong can also tell everyone responsibly that this is an irresponsible and bug-filled timeline reasoning.
Because the screenwriters who sold copies and changed 5 were not responsible, they didn't explain the cause and effect to the audience. It's no wonder that we may have many wrong reasonings. (Thank your hand)
The beginning of the universe
There is a god of creation called THE ONE. The god of the universe breathes with the universe.
After that, THE ONE used its power to give birth to the Emperor of the Universe .
The Universe is full of chaos and evil, and it wants to restore the universe to its original form.
In order to balance the time and space of the entire universe, THE ONE used the power of his other half to give birth to the brother of the universe emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun.
After Yuanshi Tianzun created 7 Transformers leaders (change 2 appeared), the Cybertronian star in its original form was created.
After that, Quintessa led her troops to invade Cybertron and rule Cybertron.
According to the beginning of Change 4, if it was the Quinteszin who planted seeds to transform the metal during the dinosaur period, Quinteszin also used seeds to transform Cybertron.
So Cybertron became one of Quintessa's planets.
She began to create her ideal Transformers, which created the army, which is the source of the Decepticons.
The other part is civilian Transformers, which is the source of Autobot.
At the same time, Quintessa also created 12 knights, that is, the knights of 5 miles, to help her command Cybertron.
But the Transformers Seven leaders and the Knights rebelled and drove away Quintessa, who could only escape back to Quintessa.
The Quintessian people temporarily abandoned Cybertron and turned to transform and enslave other stars. During this period, the Earth was one of the Quintessian targets.
The opening scene in Change 4 is this plot. In the Age of Dinosaurs, the Quintessian people exterminated the dinosaurs and transformed them into King Kong dinosaurs.
But for unknown reasons, the Quintessian did not completely turn the earth into a metal planet. But it seems that the screenwriter does not want to give a reasonable explanation (or is not a Quintessian at all).
ANYWAY, Cybertron has entered a golden period of development after the people of Cybertron are back in charge.
The matrix energy source of Transformers mentioned in Variation 1 and Variation 2 is the key to the proliferation of Transformers. Therefore, after Cybertron became free, he used the matrix energy source to prosper.
But according to the law of conservation of energy, the matrix energy source is also a day to use up.
Cybertronians use the energy of other stars to convert into matrix energy.
So the seven leaders met and decided that after finding a star, try not to change the ecology and status quo of that star, and only absorb part of the energy conversion.
For their own survival and reproduction, the Cybertron star began to search for stars in the universe.
Naturally, the seven leaders found the sun and built an energy tower on the earth. There is also the story of changing 2 to build a pyramid in Egypt.
At that time, one of the leaders "fallen" to rebel and wanted to take away the energy source alone. That is to say, in the story of Change 2, the other King Kong leaders sealed the "depravity".
He also sealed the energy source with his body and hid the energy source in Egypt.
At this time, Cybertron, Megatron was born, and Optimus Prime was born.
Megatron is the disciple of the enemy, and Optimus Prime is a stray kid adopted by the enemy (the enemy appears in the change 3).
So in the beginning, Megatron and Optimus Prime were both Yutian’s apprentices and played for Cybertron together.
Therefore, in the final battle of Change 5, Megatron said to Optimus Prime that we were once brothers too.
As time progressed, the enemy of the enemy felt that Optimus Prime was righteous, so he valued Optimus Prime, but Megatron was left out and began to want to rule Cybertron under a dictatorship.
Thus, the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons began.
Seeing that the Decepticons were about to win, the Knights fled first with a scepter that could change their fate and fell to the earth. So there is a plot of change 5.
After that, the natural enemy flees with the energy pillar that can revive Cybertron, and falls to the moon, which is the story of change 3.
Megatron chased after him and fell to the earth, so there was a plot of change 1 being frozen.
(Da Cong knows that there is a time gap in many plots, but there is no reasonable explanation for the plot of the movie!)
In change 3, Cybertron's was destroyed.
It fell apart in Change 5 and needed reorganization.
Quintessa returns to Cybertron once again, wanting to rebuild the broken Cybertron.
Because Quintessa knew a secret, that is, the earth is actually the emperor of the universe.
(This link is the most confusing one in the film. It's not clear at all!)
After that, Quintessa used his supernatural power to domesticate Optimus Prime. Of course, Megatron had already been domesticated before that, as you can tell from the red enslavement mark on Megatron's face.
The most fascinating sentence in the trailer in Change 5 is to tell us why Transformers always visit the earth?
It turns out that the earth is the emperor of the universe, so is Quintessa going to destroy the emperor of the universe or support the emperor of the universe?
And in the film, whether the earth was Unicron (Earth was Unicron) or Unicron in the Earth.
The translation and plot of the film are not explained clearly here, which is vague.
In addition, what is the purpose of the Knight Order coming to Earth in the end?
Why did the Knights give Merlin the power of the scepter?
If you want to use human beings as the protagonist, and want to push the American personal heroism to a climax, then there is no need to change the classic Transformers comic universe view into this way!
In short, this historical timeline is organized according to the plot of the movie, and there are many unclear points, so please let it go, don't be too truthful. Don't attack in life, please.
Keywords: the future after change 5
From the trailer of Change 5, we learned that Optimus Prime went to find the founder, and he was rusty in the middle of the universe, feeling dead. What happened to him?
But change 5 also has such a scene, except that it broadcasts Optimus Prime’s declaration of defending mankind in a loop like a satellite, there is no useful plot!
So we also know what happened to Optimus Prime.
What's even more ridiculous is that soon he had his Cybertron star falling intact.
What happened in the middle? !
The screenwriter did not give any explanation. This is not digging a hole for the audience, but digging a grave for himself.
At the end, Optimus Prime also said that there are many secrets hidden in the earth.
It shows that change 5 is still digging holes for the Bumblebee movie, change 6 and later Transformers series.
When the ending subtitles were released, the plot was still going on. After Quintessa's defeat, he turned into a human and walked on the desert, close to a metal horn that grew out of the emperor of the universe.
Quintessa met a scientist and said: Don't touch him, he doesn't like it, but can I show how to kill him? !
Black question mark face. . .
Well, Dah Cong can only continue to infer irresponsibly.
First of all, everyone must understand that the universe emperor of Transformers in the anime is a huge god, and he is considered the first god to be born in the universe (if there is no THE ONE version).
The universe emperor is evil, survives by devouring planets, and can travel through time and space through various universes.
Therefore, I prefer to believe that the Universe Emperor lurked into the earth at an unknown point in time and was about to swallow the earth. Instead of the earth, it is the emperor of the universe.
At this time, Quintessa wanted to reorganize the Star of Setan, and needed the energy of the earth, and it also came to the earth.
At this time, the Emperor Universe grew horns, and Da Cong believed that this was a means of the Emperor Universe to resist defense.
In other words, the emperor of the universe will fight for the earth, and Kuntessa will also fight for the earth.
In short, the earth is the object of all life in the universe to snatch.
Therefore, many puzzles can only be solved by the Transformers later.
But do you really want to know the answer?
Originally, there was a good opportunity for change 5, which was to connect all the historical content before change 4. But now instead of explaining, many mysteries have been added.
This kind of movie makes people tired to watch. Tired not to love.
Dah Cong doesn't care whether the selling copy will be directed for the last time, but is willing to wait another ten years to re-release the Transformers reboot.
Pay attention to the public account of "Da Cong Watching Movies", don't pursue running volume, only grind high-quality goods
