He was very gracious and gave me permission to upload his drawings here…seeing as I’m Mrcappy.
In other words, these aren’t stolen unless you think I plagiarized myself.

Note: the word is “expositions”, not “explosions”. Flex those reading comprehension skills my art buddies!

I only had one picture planned relating to ‘Revenge Of The Fallen’, but the mainstream reviews are pouring in for ROTF. And I’m wholly convinced at this point that it’s a concentrated effort to make Michael Bay so depressed that he commits suicide. Most reviews state that the movie is so bad that the action scenes aren’t even worth a second watch thru. Interestingly, some reviews then go on to claim there needed to be MORE plot, like developing the Transformers’ personalities.
Ehh.

I’m a firm practitioner of OMGism, meaning that computer graphics should be used to create scenes that are impossible to do in real life. It just dumbfounds me when movies spend millions of dollars to render something mundane like rain in a scene…instead of, I dunno, spraying a hose at the lens for a total budget of $3.74. Likewise, if you want to watch Optimus Prime sipping earl grey tea whilst reminiscing about his youthful summers at a Cybertronian orphanage, then just put Peter Cullen in that Optimus voice changer mask. Use the computer to make him FIGHT that cup of tea!

What I expect from a thousand-bucks-a-second computer program is to have robots creating more gas explosions than Free Taco Tuesdays at Maria’s Mexican Restaurant. In fact, Cappitron would go so far as to suggest that that ALL PLOT could be removed and make the final film like a two hour videogame cut scene. Cappitron would also vow to stop referring to himself in the third person if this is accomplished.

Now, some of even my most devout watchers are thinking to themselves, “But think about all the depth that can be added to the story by learning about each Transformer’s personality, their back story, their opinions of the war…”
Oh, how soon we forget.
This is a very slippery slope, and I want to direct you to an example of when a 3-D film has so much convoluted character depth that everyone practically drowns:
Final Fantasy: Advent Children.

I’m sure you remember last week when you invited your weeaboo friends over to eat pocky, snuggled your crappily hand-sewed Sephiroth plushie, and popped in the DVD to kick off your tradition of Advent Children month. What’s that? You don’t have that tradition? That’s because you haven’t watched the film in its entirety since you first saw it. ‘Advent Children’ is the most mediocre film ever made.
Even more mediocre than that documentary on the world’s most mediocre films.

Cloud sits around and talks about his feelings that were supposedly wrapped up in the actual game. Tifa listens to Cloud, and then feels obligated to talk about HER gameplay feelings. Then the generic villain triplets with perfectly quaffed hair and Hot Topic apparel talk about their feelings, and then take their shtick on the road and begin talking about how OTHER characters are probably feeling.

You’re left starring at the characters’ realistic-faces-yet-nightmarishly-enlarged-eyes for eighty percent of the film. It’s like the director dares you to stick with the story until you see some action…and most of that action is like an uninspired kung fu movie. Just imagine this Japanese programmer, sitting at a desk, making buttloads of money, at hour seventy-two, rendering characters sitting at a desk. That’s gotta be some type of metaphor. There is absolutely no reason why that film couldn’t have been shot with real actors in a junkyard.

…Huh.
I have absolutely no clue as to where I was going with this.
