Kudos to Ron Friedman, Unicron was amazing and that movie is incredible, even death of Optimus Prime and the rise of Ultra Magnus. Incredible, even Galvatron. Talk about taking risk. Amazing, I gave my DVD copy to my nephew, and his father lamented the movie was on repeat every day for years, it was the movie he had seen the most amount of times.
I know that Ron’s story about Orson Welles was supposed to be funny, but it really shows what a sad state he was in before he passed. I work at a homeless shelter, and I know guys that are just like him.
I don't quite get Ron's answers though. Yeah it was his feature, but he also said he was forced to kill off Prime, so how do we know what else he was made to add without fans asking?
...Okay, WHAT was the point of that story? Desilu give Welles everything that he could ever want, he gives them a script (in 4 days, no less), it's absolutely brilliant... This SOUNDS like it should end with this washed-up talent getting back on his feet, creating more shows/movies, and enjoying a revival as the great artist that Hollywood and the world once knew him for. But he has the world handed to him on a silver platter, he works for the first time in who-knows-how-long, and this one job is 'too tiring' for him? Is the punchline that Orson Welles was just a brilliant waste of space?
Orson freaking Welles. Possibly the greatest mind for entertainment the world has ever known, and like his first great creation with Mank, Charles Foster Kane, he was swallowed up by his own hubris. When you conquer Radio, Stage and Screen by the time you're 25, what else is left? And even with decimating his health, his multiple marriages, his need for access, his continual issues with the Hollywood studio system that eventually led to his exile from the boulevard of broken dreams. And yet, he somehow continued to make some of the finest films of the 20th century, including his last one, which was finally edited and finished by Netflix a few years ago, called THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND. A fitting epitaph to the big man's career, and as much as I love the irony of his last performance being that of a giant all-consuming planet (befit of his size and ego), though he did do some other animated piece just before his death, but it didn't have the longevity of Unicron.
The Fountain of Youth (1954) is a television pilot directed by Orson Welles for a proposed Desilu Productions anthology series that was never produced.
He completely ripped off Galactus....Unicron even has heralds.....ring any bells....con artist! Why diss Orson Welles like this publicly? No class at all.
Orson was an all consuming entity. He was perfect for Unicron
“Tell us about Orson Welles and Unicron…”
“How about I don’t and just talk SH!t about Orson instead?”
Congratulations on the character of Unicron.
hahaha

Thats funny....I just told someone...it is the only movie I have seen about a billion times.
Unicron became something beyond a force of nature in the TF universe after that movie.
I now want to see Orson Welles the film

they charge hookers on credit cards?
The story he tells took place in the late fifties, so almost three decades before Welles died.
Desi be thuggin’

Killing prime wasn't his idea. They were forced to do it because prime's toy was discontinued in japan
Hasbro was mob bosses
I’m sure Hasbro believed that no one would be willing to buy the same character again, nowadays that’s the whole business model for Transformers.
@@MamtaSingh-em1gd he even said it was a big mistake and said Hasbro had to bring him back.
@@Triknor takata would discontinue the 1st gen toys, not because Hasbro thought this
The least wholesome story ever
I've seen worse

what did you want to hear?
A brilliant waste of space is a great way to describe Unicron too.

He says about a script that Orso Welles delivered that was brilliant, but I cant quite get what movie or show it was about. Does anyone know?
