S2e3 of Andor has a pretty upbeat, triumphant version of the intro, but boy howdy is that incongruous with the content of the episode lmao

Do corporations think that emailing me an ad for their product I just bought is likely to make me come back to buy another one? You've identified the person who is least likely to need one of whatever your product is and decided to annoy them

S2e48 gets credit for being another example of the robots actually being in disguise. Points off for the problematic depictions of Middle Eastern people though

I keep ruminating on how sad Groundhog Day would be, man. Every stranger you meet, you're stuck in a constant string of reintroducing yourself to them. Even your close friends/family will eventually feel distant because you've become a different person, and they only know the old you. Devastating

The Stunticons shouldn't be able to fly, what the fuck? Megatron and Soundwave are one thing, but the Stunticons are literally supposed to be Autobot doppelgangers, and they're all cars. What gives

If I had a nickel for every time a human in transformers g1 wanted to fuck a transformer, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot of money but it's weird that it happened twice

Adding existing bike trails into Google Maps so the lines show up got me feeling like I'm expanding the fog of war in a video game

Finally, an episode where Astrotrain actually drives on rails instead of just randomly on the ground like a car lmao

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

You always see rail-to-trail conversions. Allow me to introduce my administration's new proposal: trail-to-rail conversions. We're kicking all the cyclists into bike lanes and rebuilding passenger rail infrastructure in one fell swoop

So how come the Constructicons are all normal construction vehicles even in the flashback to Cybertron lol. Apparently cement mixers are an example of convergent evolution

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

People correctly hate on Transformium in The Last Knight, but in g1, Devastator and Omega Supreme might as well be doing the same thing. What do you mean their body parts just magically fly up and reconnect. That's the one thing I'll give Revenge of the Fallen credit for, they did it right

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Very funny for Transformers g1 to do an episode whose central premise is based around "what if the Decepticons made themselves impervious to blaster fire" considering that everybody's blasters have seemingly been doing very little for a season and a half

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

The art people are posting in honor of Peter Cullen's death has me wanting to try Transformers comic books. Would love any recommendations on where to start, especially if they lean a older in their target audience

S2e25 seems like it has a lot of influence on Transformers (2007) tbh, decent throughlines. Also Rise of the Beasts lmao

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

When the Decepticons dabble with mind control it's seen as really underhanded and disturbing, but the Autobots are piloting ol' Devastator around like a damn Muppet in s2e24

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

In addition to the fact that I'm pretty sure drilling a hole to the center of the earth wouldn't make the planet explode, has anyone told the Decepticons about geothermal energy? They don't even need to drill that deep. Buy some hoses from Home Depot and your problem is basically solved lol

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Why tf do the Decepticons, who famously can fly, have an elevator in their hole to the center of the earth lmao

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Interesting choice, in lieu of giving each transformer a personality, to give them distinct yet equally annoying vocal tics. Each new introduction fills me with dread

Wtf do you mean the transformers go back in time to Camelot. Listen to yourself. You sound crazy rn

It would have been very funny if they had left Trump in that catering container

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Some shows take time to introduce new characters. Not Transformers. Astrotrain, Blaster, and Omega Supreme all show up in the same episode and they act like they've been there the whole time. Yeah we have a giant guy who turns into a rocket and its launch tower, what about it

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

It's very funny how shamelessly Transformers reuses Star Wars sound effects. Planes sound like TIE fighters, blaster fire sounds like lightsabers...sure man, let's just do whatever

I had no idea that the Michael Bay Transformers movies paid homage to the cartoon so many times. S2e15 is literally a whole plot point in Dark of the Moon, it seems like they really smashed a lot of episodes together for that one. Pretty cool in hindsight, still not a great movie though lol

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Now I'm realizing that he must have had to transform first and Soundwave had to put him in there afterwards, which is just cute

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

s2e14 and I almost got my wish. Soundwave's disguise worked great. Megatron was hidden as a gun inside a guitar case, which is mostly an indictment of Quantum Labs' general security, regardless of the whole Transformers thing

The Odyssey was good, but what I really want is a sequel where Eurylochus miraculously survives the wrath of Zeus. Everything is the same as before, with one exception: he is the only person who seems to have any memory of the songs of the Trojan War

If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

Omg, Megatron using the Lincoln Memorial as a throne in Dark of the Moon was a callback to a g1 episode??? That rules actually

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

You might be forgiven for thinking the most ridiculous part of a Transformers episode would be the Decepticons discovering Atlantis, but it's actually that the Autobots can just drive into the sea, the Decepticons fly underwater, and a human survives with just a helmet at the bottom of the Atlantic

The concept of a youth curfew is so dystopian to me. From private businesses like malls too, but especially from the government. Literally state-enforced bedtimes. Why not a general curfew? Or make the youth curfew 24/7? Both of those read exactly as preposterous as youth curfews imo

If you drive a truck and play music loudly with the windows down, I will be slightly annoyed but ultimately I get it. If you drive a truck and play music out of the enormous outward-facing speaker setup you've installed in the bed, I will explode you with my mind

Speaking of the Rings of Power, what happened to the ones held by Elves and Dwarves? I'm sure there's lore there, but I like to imagine they were chill and it really undermines the series' central thesis about the corrupting nature of power

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

In LOTR it's supposed to be a big reveal that Saruman's already on Team Sauron when Gandalf asks him for help, but I was always confused as a kid bc that dude and his whole tower already look evil AF from minute 1 and he's got a similar name to the bad guy. Nominative determinism does it again

000

TheSoupin8or @thesoupin8or.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

LOTR puts a lot of emphasis on men being the race that's most corruptible by the One Ring, but fucking Patient Zero who we're stuck with through the whole trilogy is Gollum, a hobbit who fell so hard he developed an evil alter ego. I'm willing to give the Nazgul a pass tbh

Pretty fucked up that being sick makes you require more water while also making it painful to drink water. Intelligent design my ass

If we somehow got an aggressive liberal president they'd be constantly accused of "Trump-like tactics" and they should start practicing now how to say "Yeah I did that and it was good." The familiar cautious approach full of self limiting caveats and hand wringing would be a failure
