I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.
‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.
‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.
‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.
So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT
important news everyone im finally adding my own addition to a series of pictures very important to me
here’s three months later don’t ever stop dreaming everyone
This makes me so happy, genuinely. I want this feeling of making a space your home. This is really impressive, and I’m so happy you have this new space :)
Have you ever seen a piece of art that was like, so good it made you upset? Like it made you feel like "they figured this whole art thing out, I can't do it better than them. I should just consume their thing and not make my similar iteration on the same idea. I wish I didn't know their thing existed so I could make my thing." If so, did you ever move past that or just accept this belief?
the simple fact is that no one else is going to make the things i want to make
a few people have replied with kinder words on this topic, and i hope the anon who sent this ask finds them encouraging. but the real question is have i ever experienced a work that pissed me off so much i thought “fuck you. i could do that.” you might think less of me for admitting this, but i gain a 50% productivity buff when motivated by spite, and i am not alone
Initially, Starscream organized Shockwave’s release using the cryotube’s remote. These scenes were cut for time fairly early on. While they were a lot of fun, they took up a fair amount of screentime and distracted from the main thrust of the episode. So, while I’m sad I didn’t get to see my boards of my fave murder-jet make it to screen, I have to agree that the cut was, ultimately, the right decision.
The first sequence here takes place after Megatron puts a stop to the kid’s game of pass the Allspark, which was boarded by Marvin Madrid. You can catch his drawing fading out at the beginning. The second sequence takes place after Thrash leaves the group to brood.
As usual, we didn’t have the voice recordings during the storyboard phase. But, they did come in during the rough animatic phase! So, you all can thank our animatic editor, Jeff Newman, for the dulcet tones of emergency sirens and Steve Blum!
This is amazing! It’s so sad that it was cut, because this is gold.
Some more highlights from this:
She/her Ravage!
Soundwave’s annoyed “yay…” at Starscream
Ravage dancing, and later Ravage nuzzling Soundwave after being reunited
Starscream… just Starscream. He’s such a sly asshole, I love him.
