I've been sitting here writing work articles for an hour and they've been sitting two tables away dissecting the five films and arguing over semantics. They're all fans of the movies, which flies in the face of critics and general e-forum audiences the world over. I'm hearing some great dialogue.

"Here's how it goes. First movie, it wasn't good. Second movie was good. Third movie... everyone wanted to like it, nobody was willing to admit it wasn't great. Fourth movie sucked. Fifth movie, I don't know how it goes yet, but it's probably making the most money of them all, because I liked it and it's 2017 now so everyone makes more money."

"Nobody else was in the theater with us, how come?" "Because it's Saturday." "Oh, duh."

"What's funny is, like, here's the thing, okay, so you know how there are dinosaur Transformers?" "Yeah." "Yeah, so like, in the original cartoons, there weren't any." "Oh, wow."

This is surreal. I'm not even a fan of the franchise and I'm still wincing.

"In the original movie, they didn't really have CG yet. Michael Bay had to invent a lot of things."

You guys didn't know that Michael Bay invented CGI? Where have you been since 2007?

H-how can you be so wrong? I was going to say that you should introduce them to the joy that is the original 1980's movie but if they don't even know that the Dinobots were a thing long before the Bay movies then they are beyond hope.

You promised me movie lore.

You gave me movie performance discussion.

I wanted to hear discussions about Devastators Wrecking Ball testicles.

In fairness, when was the last relevant Transformers cartoon? Transformers Animated in 2007? Great show but if they're teenagers, there's a pretty good chance they've never heard of Beast Wars, much less the 1980 movie.

There's a Transformers show on every year in some form, I believe.

Animated also had dinobots.
