Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Huh... That IS odd. I guess whatever posts the Storm was banned for would be deleted anyway, so checking the posting history was futile, and we'll never know since Moderators don't discuss this. It's just... Odd.

Now we have animated tails maybe we can get some animated tentacle arms next - maybe in the mutation pack - I'd love to make a character inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos or Warhammer's chaos mutations.

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel. Though with Star Trek while I enjoyed the new Abrams movie, I can understand why Trekkies hated it because in tone it was very different to what had gone before (which is probably why I enjoyed it, because in the past I've always found Star Trek rather plodding and bland compared to sci-fi I like such as Farscape, new BSG, Firefly, etc.). |

Transformers or, more acurately, Bayformers; It's not Transformers. If I was to rate it as just Transformers, you'd have to mute my volume to save your eardrums. As films? The second one I liked better, mostly because there was more character development and less shite camera angles. I can live with changing original plots and stuff if the movie itself is still palatable. You can polish a pile of shite all you like; it's still shite  |
As a G1 Transformers fan (mainly because of the Marvel UK & IDW comics, but also because I had G1 toys as a kid) I was on the other side of the fence with Bayformers. But even though I felt the first movie's storyline was rather weak, hated the Transformer designs (too insect-like and "busy" with no charm/coolness) and Bay's manic fast-cutting was ruining the action for me even more than it usually does, I still enjoyed the movie just because it was great to see giant robots fighting like that. But the novelty wore off for the sequel and I couldn't get past what a terrible mess the movie was - dreadful story, lots of plotholes, insulting characterisation, no respect for source material, more of a comedy than an action movie, etc.
I guess what it comes down to is this: I can enjoy an unfaithful adaptation if it's a good movie, and I can enjoy a faithful adaptation even if it's a bad movie - what I can't stand is unfaithful adaptations that are bad movies. At those times I've often felt like a movie's director/studio has changed things from the source material without good reason, just to stamp their own (lack of) style on the IP, and it just seems inexcusable if you don't respect the source material and still deliver a terrible movie.

So....you found ANYTHING plodding in comparison to BSG? Really, interesting story, but not that fastest paced thing on the planet.
