Topic	Wait, Optimus Prime ISN'T normally a gorilla?
ParanoidObsessive 08/15/21 9:26:16 PM #32:	Kungfu Kenobi posted... Pffft, details. He's effectively Optimus Prime in a monkey suit. That's like saying John Quincy Adams was just John Adams in a Quincy suit. ~~Also, if John Quincy Adams traveled back in time 50 years and stole his past-dad's soul to become Ultra-President Adamus Maximus. And now suddenly I wish we did in fact live in that world.~~ LinkPizza posted... According to Google, everything is canon... Though, right after, it talks about how there are contradictions that makes things not canon... So, who knows... It's mostly Beast Machines that complicates things, if I recall correctly. Because Beast Wars was deliberately written to be canonical to the original show, but by Beast Machines they'd kind of stopped caring so the writing got a bit lazier and contradictions started cropping up. CyborgSage00x0 posted... I actually liked 90's Beast Wars more than most of 80's Transformers, and I'm aware that makes me a minority, here. The problem is that, while the writing in Beast Wars might actually have been better than the original series, the CGI looks like absolute shit. And it's not even a case of just not aging well, it looked like shit then too. I pretty much refused to watch the show at the time because of how terrible it looked. It wasn't really until years later when people talked up how good it was and how it was canonical to the original show that I started looking into it. And my reaction was mostly "Man, I wish this show hadn't looked so terrible, because I probably would have enjoyed it." A lot of that's going to depend on how old you were when it came out, though. 19 year old me wasn't going to put up with the shitty CGI version of a show I'd loved as an 8-year old, but if you were somewhere around 8-12 when Beast Wars came out you probably would have had a much higher tolerance for bad CGI and no real prior history with the franchise to trigger your nostalgia hives. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:957121038] in Wait, Opti...
