Angela Basset is Shatter (Red) and Justin Theroux is Dropkick (Blue). They are the main villains of the Bumblebee Movie and they’re triple changers (car, robot, flying aircraft). I’m hoping they’re an iconic duo.

update, yes they are

my transformers sequel pitch is bumblebee in the bronx, a 1989 set cyberpunk kung-fu parkour heist film directed by justin lin starring michelle yeoh, about bee stealing decepticon tech from a multinational

bumblebee and ideally ratchet (rad cop dad cop) are sent by optimus from the still under construction autobot city in monument valley to nyc to investigate reports from blaster (autobot satellite) that someone is selling decepticon tech on the black market, they get caught up in street races (ratchet hates that he is really good at it), join a gang of cool punk kids, and then team up with cyborg cop michelle yeoh, who has come over from hong kong to stop an ocp-esque us multinational from buying tech recovered by gangsters in the south china sea. the ceo is circuit breaker from the marvel comics, the decepticons are motormaster and the stunticons, final battle is powermaster optimus prime fighting menasor on liberty island

“into the spider-verse” spider-gwen is lightskin gap-toothed representation

#bc hailee steinfeld is mixed & also bc i say so

i, actually did not know that! which means charlie in bumblebee is too

'Bumblebee' star Hailee Steinfeld hopes to one day play a Filipina character

this is my official review of bumblebee (2018)

aquaman and bumblebee (and wonder woman and the force awakens) are a a testament to removing cynical, edgelordy white men from being in charge of major media franchises, and putting literally anyone else in charge

charlie is LITERALLY the first female character in SIX transformers films not to be filmed with michael bay,c$ gross terry richardson porn gaze

that, should not be refreshing but here we are

anyways michael bay and zack snyder are done

and into the spider verse

on a different tack (hashtag monster fuckers), transformers (2007) said ‘hey girls, how would you like be shia labeouf’s girlfriend?’

whereas bumblebee (2018) is saying, 'bumblebee is your boyfriend now’

like there is a scene in act one of revenge of the fallen (2009) where optimus prime asks sam to come testify on his behalf before congress bc ICE wants to deport all the autobots, and sam literally yells at OPTIMUS PRIME for inconveniencing him in his first week of college

meanwhile bumblebee has only ever been a loyal and faithful friend

don’t date a boy who has a car, date a boy who **is** a car

LOOK AT HIIIIIMMMMMM

ONE LARGE BOI

I love that they tried to make the transformers movies those action packed blockbusters that lack any kind of emotion except anger to appeal to teenage boys who obviously don‘t want that in their movies

and they get reviews like:

And then Travis Knight comes around with a movie reminicient of the heart and charm of the g1 cartoon that fans had wanted for years

and the reviews go:

Bee you‘re doing amazing sweety!
