Manipulating Kids and Destroying a Legacy | Transformers Earthspark Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Transformers Earthspark is a loose sequel, a splinter, to the original transformers animated series (G1) that aired lets just say... many years go. This transformers cartoon takes a progressive, woke, take that could go good or bad. While bringing legacy transformers back in a very new light. Did they go woke and broke or did woke transform the transformers in a unique way? Transform the search page into this video to find out.
I apologize for the video if it seems lacking. Had to cut out voice lines, examples of actions for Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron. Examples for things regarding the kids, even positive things, and a very positive section about Soundwave. Transformers Earthspark seems to keep screwing me over even after my spark was extinguished. What Decepticon artists that Viacom and Hasbro is. I also accidentally said Elita instead of Arcee. Entirely my fault. Gonna have to start making a script I suppose.

I have noticed a decrease in comments amount. I was curious on why, asked around, and although some people are claiming that there is a glitch with the comment number total as well with some comments not showing up in general and even disappearing... there's just as big of a possibility that people are reporting comments they don't agree with.
Firstly, if the comments are just plain nasty, profanity filled, insults, ESPECIALLY if they are attacking another person in the comments then yeah report them I don't care. Respect is the biggest rule here. That being said, if they are just disagreeing with you, or with me, then leave them be. They have every right to their opinion and it's definitely not cool to go through and try to censor that. Unless again they're just being hateful to some capacity and even then (to a reasonable point) give them a chance to remedy that.
Second, when it comes to big conversations in the comments, I don't get notified of those individual messages and am not able to babysit them to ensure everyone is being respectful. If i'm not tagged in it, then i'm not going to be aware of it, unless I go searching for it which I don't feel like putting my mental health through. If I see it, i'll respond to it, but besides base comments I'm pretty much left out of this. I'm trusting that you guys have the maturity and intelligence required to acknowledge that we're all humans, with our own opinions, experiences, interpretations, and beliefs. As well as the fact that we all make our own mistakes, and that whether those mistakes are big or small, are mostly subjective based on how every person perceives them.
Just treat each other with respect and don't be censoring people just because they disagree. I can't see reported comments, or decide on their validity, that's entirely UA-cams ballpark as well so I can't restore them once they're gone. In fact UA-cam is actually supposed to if no problem is found with them so hopefully they follow through with that.
Also, when it comes to the end of my video, I will admit that I never handled it as well as I could of. That being said, this isn't an apology, just an acknowledgement. I am autistic, and one of the caveats of that, is that I have two modes. Logical or emotional. I feel emotions far stronger than a normal person in some moments, and those emotions can dictate my actions, whereas other moments I go full Shockwave and that can go very wrong too. It's hard for me to balance but I swear that i'm trying, Just please be patient with me.
My video was unscripted, and that last part, was fueled by emotion as I was speaking. In general though, as I did put some points in there, I did have the logical research to back it up. Comment, separate from this thread, the questions or arguments against me that you have, and I will do my best to respond. Just please do so separate from this comment so they get sent to my "haven't responded" section.
I have since said this better in a different video: ua-cam.com/video/LUBrKiX9DW0/v-deo.html
Thank you. Have a great day!
Or your video got really ironically bigoted in the end and people don't want to mess with that (Because seriously, the content you added to your video would be more troublesome and disturbing to your imaginary kids than a 5 second scene of a ROBOT, saying it doesn't go by Him or Her pronouns, because, you know, it's a robot).
@@Ebonyleopard you seriously couldn't be any semblance of polite even under the one comment asking you to?
@@Nerdsfeed If you don't read comics, Then I HAVE NO NEED of reading your ardition bible 😂
Bro, I seriously respect this pinned comment. I also have a smallish UA-cam channel and one of the hardest things is trying to manage toxicity in the comments while still allowing for open discussion. But you perfectly summarized everything, how we can and should be allowed to disagree with each other while not crossing lines of respect and decency.
This was just such a mature comment in how you gave guidance to your views and trusted them on how to act. Really impressed by how well you set the tone and example for this comments section especially in what is a very controversial and charged video topic.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi Hello There! I appreciate that, thank you!
Optimus in this show isn't "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" and more "Don't do drugs kids"
This Optimus is like the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog's Sonic of Optimus Primes.
That's exactly why liberals hijacked Transformers! They hate freedom!
@@mechamadnessthat’s one way to describe it
Didn't they talk about "bots being in cheesy and corny ads" in one of the episode?
@@botbee2316 For real, and also. Optimus now is stupid for some freaking reason thay I can't describe...
The fact that they didn’t just make the dad into a stereotype of a bumbling idiot dad is actually very nice, I don’t even watch the show but just hearing the fact that the parents go through character development and the dad isn’t just made to be a hopeless dummy is really nice to hear.
Dude I love him so much. He's a breath of fresh air
Because he's black. Im not an edgy "anti sjw", dont worry, but black fathers being shit is such a prominent racial stereotype they probably wouldn't risk being accused of that.
1:20 so the part of the multiverse that no one wanted but got
@@Nerdsfeed Agreed, also I'm not sure how many of the other episodes you saw, but I saw a lot of character development with Mo and Robbie. I know you felt they were bratty throughout the whole series, but I really saw them grow a lot more than you thought you did.
Here's the crazy question. for all the female characters in this show...is there a Mom in this show? Anywhere?
Did they not learn about how not to make a "sequel" after Robots in Disguise (2015)? Just because kids watch the show, doesn't mean you can get away with bad writing or treating them like they're stupid and producing the show accordingly.
Produce the show where the kids will watch it again when they're wiser adults, who will then show it to their own kids. Having a show stand the test of time through multiple generations is why franchises are successful and insulting the intelligence of your audience is the antithesis of that.
I love this way of thinking, thank you for sharing, that was a great way to put it!
Spitting facts
RID2015 was more like catering to both kids and Prime fans with minimum to NO effort. Also the trend of Hasbro of that time was to basically dumb down everything (look at Age of Extinction's abyssmal toyline) but hey at least it wasn't harmful. Nowadays they are so desperate to intoxicate kids with LGBTQ+ garbage they don't care about anything else. This plus garbage toy quality is why Hasbro is on the brink of death.
Seriously modern western entertainment died long ago.
@@zef9151 RID 2015 as its own shown isn’t that bad.
That’s the thing. It’s not. Yes the style is somewhat the same but that’s it.
If Megatron was portrayed as walking the gray line trying to end the war after seeing so many cybertronians die, I feel it would be better. Optimus could be a older leader who wants this "new" war to end as quick as possible. You could even show him having moral conflictions doing shadier things in alignment with Megatron. Bumblebee could be the hot-headed warrior who doesn't easily forgive Megatron for the horrors he committed. He could still want to fight wanting revenge, but through Optimus he could come to find peace with himself.
They should hire you lol
... and lose all the woke stuff
@Nerdsfeed I was sceptical about this series from the start. I can see a bit of potential in the series dunno if it's been wasted or not. The voice actor for starscream being prime starscream was peak. I think there are 2-3 s tier wheeljacks g1 prime and cyberverse. Feedback welcome
@@squirt2384 As far as I watched it was wasted, had a ton of filler episodes, little action, not much of an overarching narrative, the kids aren't great, the Dad is fire, but only if you can let yourself believe that a stick can pierce metal lol. Starscreams voice is a hit but they underutilize him. In fact all the villians feel like they are missing something. Everyone does honestly. The Dad was the most fleshed out character in the whole show lol
@@Nerdsfeed true That
Soundwave was the only good thing but that's really hard to mess up🤣
Haha you're right on that
tarantulas also
@@user-wf4xx2px6h I never made it that far but I've heard good things!
Except his loyalty or lack there of
I mean soundwave was always the best character.
A good guy Megatron is an interesting approach that could work. However the execution needs to be handled properly, because it’s such a drastic character change. And unfortunately the show fails to do that. We were give two explanations and both of them felt so out of character and made no sense whatsoever. Man such a waste for such an awesome looking design.
I completely agree
I could see him being a good guy through personal gain, and he still distrusts prime after everything they been through. It just feels wrong to me. It’s like having the joker become Robin and suddenly him and Bruce just stopped fighting. It feels weird
@@jlopez240gaming7 the way its done in Prime, when they are both going against Unicron, was the best way to handle an alliance to me
@@Nerdsfeedyeeees absolute facts. Cause megatron went back to being megatron.
@@Nerdsfeed I always thought the rebound of whatever scheme he was trying in War For Cybertron would be perfect, like basically what happened in effect of Optimus in Tf Prime where unleashing the matrix damaged his memory to become Orion again.
Megatron trying to brainwash the Autobots into Decepticons ends up brainwashed himself, maybe from freak accident, maybe a questionable act by an Autobot behind Prime's back to end the war, but the result still really gets to him, optimus' old friend back as he wished to remember him as.
Imagine how it would be if Megatron reverted to when he was still an idealist wanting to revolutionize their flawed system on Cybertron, and maybe become horrified of the path he's led to this moment leading to it becoming a dead planet.
The end could either be Megatron returning to form or staying an ally.
or maybe a bit in between, he doesn't get rebooted a second time but comes to the same conclusion, just that now he can be reminded of who he was and how much their friendship meant.
autobot megatron is a weird holdover from the old IDW comics, the difference of course being that years of development went into the character's turn in that continuity.
I'm guessing they just took that lore for granted.
That development here would have definitely been nice lol
Even IDW Megatron wasn't fully good he was struggling until the end when he disappeared
@@jfoster8624 even until the end pretty much everyone in the galaxy did not forgive him. He was gonna be sentenced to death or an eternity in prison for the mass genocide he committed.
@@ravenousking9643 the only people who forgave him were the alternate dimension bots he liberated and a few members of the lost light but he was going to be sentenced to death basically they were going to lock up his spark
Megs had a lot of skeletons in his closet. And his past bit him in the ass with guys like Tarn and the DJD. He never really got forgiven in the end.
Also, this series never fails to imply that if you really want something you can always do it, no matter what. Like Robby and his dad beating a whole Arachnamechs horde with STICKS. Yes you got that right kids, you can destroy advanced mechanical drones with tiny wood sticks...
Yeah it makes no sense but I did enjoy that part lol
Because yes you very much f****** can because all those fancy science s*** they never account for a g****** STI could take down megatron with a pen knife you know why because hes got exposed f****** veins you know others tubes that make up their neck cut one of them that's the fuel line to their processor I essentially just cut off blood to his brain
I feel like that's a healthy thing for a kid show to teach. Do you want kids to be defeatist and depressed all the time. I don't think the average kid is going to draw from this that they should try and beat up muggers with sticks it's just going to give them a healthy level of hope and optimism.
@@toasterenthusiast8023 I'm not saying kids should be depressed. Teaching kids to never give up is fundamental. But you should do it in a responsible way that makes sense. I mean Transformers is still a ''grounded'' franchise compared to othe sci-fi series like Star Wars. Remember how the kids from prime slowed down zombie Skyquake using Starscream's missile? Or how Jack managed to contact the US army by stealing Silas walkie-talkie and saved everyone using his brain?
Now that makes sense. And it's an optimist message as well.
It's like a situation of someone lost in the wild who is starving. You see a big meal like some kind of bison or buffalo. Do you think you can face him bare hands?
Humans are phisically weaker than apex predators yet we are the dominant species. Why? Due to our strenght? Hell no, due to our brain. Seriously would you rather face the big animal with a stick or build a trap?
That's what modern medias should teach kids: to actually use the brain in order to unlock and improve their true potential so they can deal with hard situations.
@@toasterenthusiast8023 you built an argument around Bumblebee being stuck in "war mode" as you called it earlier. Not so sure that would be a "healthy" thing for kids to learn. When it comes to this though, the "no matter what" part is the issue, because it gives kids a false sense of security when it comes to what they want to do. Showing kids that you can fail at something, mess up, and that's okay too would be a healthier way to present it.
Honestly, I would highly recommend kids to watch Transformers Prime. In my personally opinion, it's a great transformers cartoon show and a great kids cartoon show for the whole family/everyone of all ages and doesn't try to deal with woke stuffs. It's full of action, fun, heartwarming, thrills, emotions and more great things.
Me and you would get along pretty well lol. Transformers Prime is well Prime transformers for me lol. I literally watch it every year
Yes! That show was my childhood
@@ZPaul_ Mine too! Dwayne Johnson voicing Cliffjumper Episode 1 was perfect
@Nerdsfeed Yea. It’s a shame they killed him off right at the beginning tho :(
@@ZPaul_ Actually I think you just solidified my next video idea! I had thoughts on it but wanted a sign of some kind to see if I should go through with it. That was perfect timing lol.
I love the dad he's awesome,He got some character development and they updated him from a bumblebee fan to a fighter who fights robotic spiders
Haha exactly! He's a legend in my book, fighting all those bots while outnumbered like that, and so dang casually too lol
Agree and his heritage is represented well. As Filipino and a Bumblebee fan, I could relate to him😅
kids should watch TFP I thought Robots in disguise was bad but after watching it was like 8 the nerfed optimum prime but this show is purely trying to implement disgusting Logic less stuff Into the childrens mind and second God made you Human male or female HOW CAN A MALE POSSIBLY THINK HE THINKS LIKE WOMEN or vice versa @@Nerdsfeed
One thing I really don't understand why Soundwave and Shockwave, 2 of the most loyal to Megatron, are now against him. In my opinion it would have made more sense to join the Autobots along with Megatron. That's just me tho
Yeah that's fair in regards to Soundwave, his loyalty always felt towards Megatron specifically, and not any sort of actual cause
he was like The most Loyal man in tfp and robots in disguise He literly Was the most loyal @@Nerdsfeed
@@obamabinladen-de7rt I agree
a UA-camr accused of being transphobic and its So disgusting to say that kids need to learn these things im not that old but i still understand the things and i want to tell that Trans,bi and other stuff idc about it is ruining children minds like Nowadays people think standing against those is Highly not good but lemme tell ya smth ppl are disgusted over simple things that are allowed in different Religions muslims marry their cousins idk your review but thats normal and ngl cousin is still not the closest relation (marrying brother and sister is messed up) tho. and i dont support but whats going in albama is better than this idk if you agree but i still hate people calling them to refer as they/them like what those are used for multiple ppl anyways i hope you have a good day@@Nerdsfeed
showing those disgusting things to children is messed up af like what bro@@Nerdsfeed
And another thing, these are the reasons why this show can’t be a continuation of the G1 series for those of you who don’t know:
Megatron is already Galvatron
Bumblebee is already Goldbug
Arcee didn’t act like a complete bitch
Many other Autobots and Decepticons have already died
Soundwave would be Soundblaster at this point
We never see these human soldiers fight alongside the Autobots in the cartoon
More aliens would have had to have shown up
Human civilization would have had more advanced technology
Spike, Daniel, and Carly are absent
besides in that one little scene that has spike
They basically threw the movie and seasons 3+4 out to push an agenda
also wasn't Elita one still on cybertron instead of being on earth.
@@flappycat0320 yep along with the other female Autobots in season 2
Not only that, but Swindle should be with his fellow Combaticons, and Grimlock was not on Cybertron
Edit: and from what I’ve seen of the new season trailers, tarantulis not only should be smaller, but not even created yet
5:02 you're god DAMN right man, Bumblebees literally suposed to have ptsd from war after all that, as a kid honestly, it was shocking to me seeing how the autobots got butchered in the movie, even if it's "just robots" , it still looked very brutal and tragic, this is why this scene was purely a masterpiece in my opinion. , this Bumblebee doesn't seems like he does even know a fraction of how horrible war is and the following concequences.
I appreciate you sharing. I grew up on G1, even if they were reruns on the Hub at that point, but I was maybe 5th grade when I saw that happen and it blew my mind lol
@@Nerdsfeed bumblebee never said that he wanted the war to start again , he said he wanted to get back to being hero those are two different things
@@gingerfox-nf4gy I never said, that he said, he wanted the war to start again. Within the show the only way he wants to be a hero, is to be in on the action, during combat. Training Twitch and Thrash in and of itself could be considered heroic, but thats not what he wants, he wants to be a hero in combat. For the combat to happen there needs to be something causing it, which would be, war.
@@Nerdsfeed you don't need war for combat and bumblebee didn't want to be a hero though combat you quite clearly didn't pay attention .
@@gingerfox-nf4gy lmbo "you clearly didn't watch the show" he literally leaves Arcee with the Terrans, without asking her, against Optimus' wishes, risking him being known by Ghost, in order to go to combat since he's as he literally says "the best there is"
In my opinion on this Megatron’s design, he can’t be recognized even as just a silhouette, he doesn’t have that g1 proportions and the gun barrel that sticks out of his back
All I can say is thank god we have Transformers Animated!!
If only it was allowed to end with a 4th season
@@Nerdsfeed yeah it sad but if there Will be season 4 TF animated then TF prime would not exist
@@sagaverse1466 I never thought about it like that, thank you for the new perspective, I appreciate it
@@Nerdsfeedyou imbeciles do realize it was made by an extremely progressive dude right?
@@Nerdsfeed Same Way Transformers Cyberverse.
This show makes me appreciate growing up on Animated even more
I am working on some animated videos, but could only afford S1, so i'm limited to my content a little lol
Same here, except most of it was TF Prime
@@senabecool7232 I have a TF Prime video in the works, going to have to cut some sadly, but hope it comes out okay in the end
I grew up with Cybertron
@@sapphireeniigma-8027 Have you watched Armada yet
Just a slip up, when you talked about Arcee you accidentally called her Elita
I know, it helped me realize a script could help every once in a while
They're kind of the same
@@legocielo they really aren’t
I like how this show unintentionally justified the existence of Decepticon Justice Division or DJD
I hope Tarn will appear there like in Cyberverse -and kill as many he can- , and considering how Earthspark is IDW comics-inspired and what Tarn did there, we'll get the most based Transformers character ever existed.
Now this would be interesting lol
I think Tarn's first target would be Meg
Tarn would be the biggest threat in Earthspark LMFAO
this video is the first time ive heard of earthspark but oh god yes
I just know that if they added him they'd butcher his character and have him get defeated by the terrans and kids
I do NOT remember them saying "HiS pRoNoUnS ArE tHeY/ tHeM" i remember being said about infiltrating a base or whatever the hell.
You may live in a place where they edited them out
Do not lament my absence, for in my spark, I know that this is not the end, but merely a new beginning. Simply put, another transformation.
I miss those days
gosh me too
What quote is that from
Transformers Prime:Predacons rising
@@eyuphanelmas3766 Is that when Prime threw himself into Cybertron's core
@@senabecool7232 yes it is
First i'd like to talk about my opinions on the s1 of the show. I agree that bringing G1 into the fold at one was a bold and dumb move. I grew up on G1 so it felt kind of disingenuous. I also partly agree on your opinions on the transformers but thats Arcee not elita1 btw. I disagree on Wheeljack though I thought he seemed too safe here and lacking of the originals charm. I also think that prime wheeljack is too big of a departure but that neither here or there. I think this is the worst Optimus Prime iteration... for s1 anyway but the best Soundwave since G1. Second you are actually right about the last scene in a marketing standpoint. I said it in a response but I work in advertising and the biggest factor is pushing to the consumer with the easiest being kids. Making cereal that's unhealthy and has a memorable commercial, capitalizing off the fact that parents normally say "each your vegetables" by showing kids something opposite. Catchy themes, vibrant colors, bursts, whatever we can do to make kids remember our brand over the competition. I remember COCO Puffs was a hit to my own kids, due to "going cuckoo," and the chocolate explosions. Commercials have competition so we have to fight for attention but something like the quiet themed clip he showed had nothing else to distract kids from the words so it was a golden time to get them to latch onto something. and again im not agreeing that its a bad thing just that its a thing. Great video
I truly appreciate this comment, especially when you replied with the last part earlier. I didn't know how to convey what I meant, about kids being easily influenced since curiosity makes them vulnerable, in a way that people could visualize. I took Psychology for years and had to write literal research papers about experiments like Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes and the Stanford Marshmallow experiment so I was getting ready to reference those before you swooped in and offered support. I understand if you disagree with me on whether or not that's okay but I appreciate you helping me feel less crazy by backing me up regardless of your stance. Even if we disagree on this issue I hope you'll stick around for future content. I don't aim for political videos at all, just want to make videos about things I'm passionate about, and be 100% real with my audience while I do it. So consider subscribing if that interests you, and if not, I hope to see you in my comment section again one day.
@@stopmationscreations1873 no, no, it's just not related to G1
@@stopmationscreations1873 It is related to g1, its a splinter, this guys just trying to cause problems again. they call it modified g1 or g1.5 and they said it in interviews since they didnt make anything obvious in the show since they are incompetent writers
@@stopmationscreations1873 not exactly like they use a lot of the same g1 events just change the ending a little to pick up here like s1 and s2 with some of s3 and s4 are taken in but then they dont use the movie and change things when they feel like it
What annoys me the most, besides this issue of Nightshade (in that case i agree 100% with everything you said) is the case of Megatron and some characters. because it's kind of a Nickelodeon trademark that "no matter what you do, whether it's destroying a planet, burning down a house, killing someone and blaming whoever tried to stop you, or disobeying your parents, you will have no consequences , you are free to do whatever you want" because if they put Megatron who is a genocide as a good guy and leaves Optimus in a place where he does not have the courage to express his ideals and when he has the opportunity to speak, he prefers to remain silent and say nothing, they are practically encouraging the children to do this... but it is up to the family to say what is or is not the right thing to do. which is a shame, because the child will stop seeing the characters he likes because of ridiculous political agendas.
It's truly sad but it's the world we live in now. I hope something changes soon. I guess we'll see but until then I'll keep doing what I need to do to booster good media and call out the bad. Hopefully I can make a difference. Thank you for commenting and I hope you had a good day!
@@Nerdsfeed thanks bro, watching this video, and knowing that there are people who share the same thoughts as me... I had a good day. I Hope you have too🙌
It’s just like how they’re teaching “neopronouns” as a school subject now. While some may disagree, my opinion is that it’s just like if teachers were to try and push religious beliefs on their students… it just doesn’t seem appropriate or really that nice… 🙁
@@TheVeryLastPrime87 well, my opinion is, Cartoons and Schools has to teach the child how to be ethical before society, so that it can understand what is right and wrong, and that teaching is neutral, without influences, whether religious or sexual (this part is up to the parents). Because the child does not know how to understand what happens in reality. But, when they do that, they influence children. What is wrong, to me to.
@@powerglide6085 The thing is that there is a difference between teaching something and actively encouraging something. These days everyone encourages little kids to transition to another gender, when the kid doesn't know a thing about what the implications are. The majority of children are now losing the joy of being an innocent child because of all these things.
NAHH IDE RATHER LET MY KIDS WATCH G2 THAN THIS
Kids will be better off for it
My biggest problem was the pronoun thing with Nightshade, that one scene basically ruined the whole show for me. And another thing that bothered me was that nightshade told Tarantulas his pronouns…like would the Deception really give two Fks about that? Besides all that I kinda enjoyed seeing this version of megatron.
I can respect that, what was your thoughts on Optimus Prime, and his design?
Transmutate and Tigerhawk (both from Transformers Beastwars) are basically non-binary characters. And no one really have problem with them. Because its never directly explained in the show. Earthspark really missed the mark with that one. They were to direct.
Tarantulas is someone who just eat Nightshade for kicks and giggles. And yes,he is actually caninball in Beastwars. Since he tried to eat Cheetor. And threatened to eat Waspinator.
To leave my 2 cents (its quite long) here: Eh after watching it for its 26 episodes. Who cares if theres a single character with "they". It had a good arc for the terrans, older characters are treated as literal legends and any good guy decepticon is essentially figthing for survival.
I like how they dealt with the idea of the outsider and how it shows people are not good or bad just by the label we give them as a group. Even the "good" Megatron gets Karma back for the tyrant he was. A reflection to the consequences for future generations after wars, and the importance of learning from history.
Great animation, good fight choreography that as an outsider has in episode 9 the best composition in any tranformer media far none even Prime which I enjoyed. Although some models like Optimus couldve been better.
Humor was what Id expect for the age its directed to, they embrace the tech obsession of younger generations. They show serious subjects like veterans of war trying to reconcile with younger generations. And how said younger people can help the more grizzled one.
Optimus couldve been better on his involvement but he was alright, Megatron felt like a commander desperate for conflict trying to go into a civilian life while being against methods that go against his original crusade against the system in Cybertron, given his past as a gladiator. All while he's still the single most dangerous character in the show, to the point it is shown the terrans have no chance against him.
Starscream having that selfish outlook but also finding Hashtag as a blank slate willing to believe him not out of foolishness but actual care was nice.
I can probably go on on but the show is about reconciliation, the fact people in the US make so much fuss is seriously kind of downright hilarious. You have the side that argue to their own fault thinking they are talking for people who are not binary when in reality they are making a fool of themselves while pushing agendas. On the other side we have people hiding their opinions behind thins like "the care of children" and oh no that will tramautize them.
Every 6 year old in my street probably already is aware of death and abandoment, by the simple fact they understand, they just dont care. Subjects about the aftermath of senseless hatred is also important to speak about, the "they" character is even told that it is wrong to encapsulate their way of seeing other views as wrong. In comparison to something like Secret Invasion or even Captain Marvel there isnt anything inherently pushing something on one.
The character I mentioned seems to be more a case of the outsider to even the weird terrans, as the thinker that isnt "they" for representaion but more as to the fact it seems to be unable to say what it is since it was born just a few days ago, it also isnt brought back unless it helps further express the idea one should not stay on one mindset, when speaking of the transformation, they say that its more a way to show who you are. I think it was handled as to who one is in profession, with friends and others. That all things you make part of are an expression of one self.
So in short, great show to ease in subjects they'll face when they are 9 or 10, great action, good family mesages, Bumblebee was great as the once student now mentor. The main villain at first was eh but ended up as the culmination of the fear to the outsider. And overall probably one of the best production for Transformers.
Should've called that 10 cents lol. I respect that you enjoy it, and hopefully that doesn't change, thank you for the detailed response I appreciate that. I'm noy going to argue the sociopolitical aspect, not feeling like it, plus you weren't downright hateful with your view on it which is definitely a welcome change so thank you for that as well
Honestly I miss shows having morals and lessons instead of trying to indoctrinat kids to see there views. And like the show but the non binary character still confuses me
Also guy made a video saying your transphobic. Just thought you should know
I completely understand
Also I know. Jaymotions spreads misinformation, twisting words, to make me the villain of his story. It's disappointing but, after hiding my comments, he shut down any chance of amicable conversation. Especially when he lied about hiding my comments and tried to slander me with his supporters on Twitter. Crazy world we live in
Kids shouldn't learn about lgbtq before they are 16 or even 17
Thank you for your perspective there. 7 Years old is undoubtedly too early and they knew that too. Had a lot of filler feeling episodes before that one came out so it feels like they were trying to hide it

@@kanna-san. Yessss girls we can make a difference omg!
Why? Wouldn't introducing them to this concept early make it easier to understand instead of introducing it randomly when they're almost adults?
Honestly my younger brothers saw this show and and i immediately told them no. And turn something like Ninjago or Transformers Prime either is perfect for bot and they love it. Both run around and yell but when watching the show both sit and watch and listen that's how good the show is. That's how interesting everything is and my brothers got ADHD and he still sits still. I watch the first season of this show and couldn't get myself to watch the second the only thing i would say i liked is when Soundwave brings up the fact Megatron gave up on a war he started. And left every deceptacon to rot even though Soundwave has been with him through and through.
I appreciate you looking out for them, and commenting your thoughts, I thought about going back to Ninjago but there's A LOT to go back to with that one lol
@@Nerdsfeed yeah, with newer season I personally am stick with older seasons because of the season 2 finale which they enjoy a ton. And both love watching the intro.

@@dropkick3024 thank you!
See, this is what happens when you focus a Transformers show/movie around the Autobots and/or humans more than the Decepticons, which is more reason to just scrap humans altogether and give us a show about Transformers only, please.
Warning: Political rant incoming.
Words cannot express how much I hate politics. Politics in real life and politics inserted into movies, shows, and games. Politics ruined so many great franchises like Star Wars, the MCU, and now, Transformers is coming under the same fire. And people are blaming conservatives for everything like it's the conservatives doing this. Meanwhile, people like me just want to enjoy our favorite franchises without having to deal with the same politics we have to deal with on a daily basis anyway. In Transformers, the only political thing should be the forces of good fighting the forces of evil, that's where the line should be drawn. And no, that evil does not include bigotry, since that again refers to real life. Transformers shouldn't be about exploring the issues of racism, or the issues of gender or sexuality, we have shitshows like Steven Universe for that. Transformers should be about a four million year long, brutal intergalactic conflict that ravaged an advanced alien species and its planet and found its way to Earth, and it's up to humans to work with the Autobots to stop it or fall victim to extinction. It's fine by me to have characters like Knock Out, Breakdown, Tailgate, and Nightshade, who are actually unique and interesting characters that gay and trans people can relate to while watching the respective movie or show, but it shouldn't be something pushed into our faces against our will, because that type of shit turns a lot of people off. I personally do not like romance in movies and shows in general, not between different genders, and not between the same genders. Romance, just like politics, is something that should be limited to real life in my opinion and stay out of fiction. I don't want to watch Knock Out explore his relationship with Breakdown just like I wouldn't want to see Wheeljack explore his relationship with Arcee, or Optimus Prime explore his relationship with Elita-1. I don't want to see characters being confused about how they should refer to Nightshade. If it's something the show makers want to insert, make it feel natural, don't make it so obvious that so many people call it out (and get called bigots afterwards). We live in what feels like a crumbling society where massive groups of people hate each other for the things they believe. You don't have to actually do anything, you just have to say something people won't agree with, and it will be enough for you to be bullied and ostracized. That is not what a progressive society looks like. That's what a hateful society looks like. This massive division that is happening right now will have devastating consequences in the future, and we may as well divide into Autobots and Decepticons ourselves, except in real life. Transformers was one of the last few franchises that remained neutral for a long time (other than Michael Bay's US military propaganda sprinkled throughout the Bayverse movies), but that is slowly going away now. Earthspark is a good show, it has an interesting story, original ideas like Megatron being an Autobot, interesting original characters like Twitch, Thrash, Nightshade, and other Terrans (also an interesting concept of Earth-born Transformers), but Nightshade sharing their pronouns should be as political as it gets.
Sorry if I said anything that upset anyone reading this, but I had to somewhat speak up as a lifelong Transformers fan who wants to see this franchise do well and reach out to a wider audience, including future generations. The Transformers as a franchise has been alive for 40 years, which is an insanely long time, and I do not want to see it go broke.
Preach brother. I have a lot of respect for you for putting your opinion out there. I share similar beliefs especially when the age rating for these shows are for young kids. Thank you for sharing your, well thought out, opinion
as soon as i heard that this show was being made by Nickelodeon i knew it was doomed to fail
I hate to say it but thats a fair point. Which sucks because I actually like Glitch Techs and other shows that they have canned before they can really hit their potential... then they keep shows like this on for multiple seasons and milk the Loud House and Spongebob IP's for all they're worth
Honestly technically robots are genderless but I get it. “Built not born” lockdown tf extinction
I prefer the TF Prime cyberorganic lifeform approach personally
They aren't simply robots, though. They are mechanical lifeforms. Depend on the continuities, they were created by Primus or the Quintessons, based on the existing organic lifeforms in the universe so it made sense for them to have genders. The things they truly don't have are sexes.
@@miyako1909 I prefer them being created by Primus over the Quintessons personally. It gave their like to cybertron, as well as the admiration towards primes, and the honor bestowed by that title, more weight for me.
Bro I just realized him asking to be the bobble head owl was foreshadowing him choosing the owl statue as his alt mode
Aye I never noticed that. Thank you for pointing that out man
I think the biggest thing holding this show back is the target audience when you watch some of the episodes it's clear the team behind it wanted to do a darker story but because this was airing on nick Jr and so on they couldn't really do that
I can see that. They struggle to find footing, put things in that aren't for kids, while also making it for kids. Although, some of the ones working on it, has been infamous for targeting kids and wanting to target kids, with things that aren't necessarily appreciated for the age range. I haven't looked too much into it but its worth mentioning as a possibility
if i ever had kids and i wanted to show them an innocent version of a modern transformers kids show, i'd just put on rescue bots or cyberverse. i think you handled the discussion about the controversy at the end was very well handled by the way you talked about it.
Thank you, I agree your show picks, and appreciate you for commenting
How is educating kids who could struggle with identity issues that it’s ok to be different “not innocent “
@jaidenwichelow How many kids in the 80s or 90s actually had gender identity issues? Probably within 100 cases that there are a record of. For some people, generally dysphoria is a stage. Wanting kids to go take puberty blockers and go on certain drugs and surges can really mess them up. I would believe an adult of they said they had gender dysphoria, but not a 7 year old kid.
@@Basswave_ Kids don't struggle with identity issues. Predators do.
@@ffff7164 most kids struggle with identity issues, it´s literaly what makes them infants, they´re learning who they are and how they wanna live, and that also extends to gender as well.
I do love the concept of the truce and Optimus and Megatron working together but not having Megatron care for the treatment of his former comrades or his disdain for humans was a massive mistake. I’d prefer if Megatron learned to care for humans instead and pulled his punches constantly before being forced to remind the Decepticons why they called him lord. The Decepticons should also be constantly trying to win their leader back
You've made some really good points here, I do have one question, should the cons ever trust him again?
@@Nerdsfeed I think with them trying to convince him of his "true nature" they would follow him again without question. But I think the more important thing would be getting them to also learn the error of their ways like Megatron has. Perhaps adding former decepticons to the cast as seasons progress. Or even have splinter groups of both autobots and decepticons trying to get the war back on track, like Grimlock disobeying Optimus and hunting decepticons at will
I appreciate your perspective and agree to a point as well. Not sure which cons would be best to switch sides though. Maybe someone like soundwave due to loyalty being more important to him than ideology or something materialistic
@@Nerdsfeed soundwave would be the first most likely. The whole series would likely have starscream as the antagonist
@@kingsmanlad4147 that makes sense given his deceitful nature to begin with. What if Lugnut was a part of the series would he be a likely candidate?
I didn’t grow up on Transformers and only recently started getting into the franchise. Needless to say, I’m pissed. The last thing we need is for little kids to have identity crisis because their school teachers and the media are telling them that, if they don’t adhere to gender stereotypes, then you are either in the wrong body or something else entirely. Tomboys are even allowed to be a thing anymore.
I hope these franchises will wake up and realize that pandering to raise their ESG scores now will only hurt them in the long run.
That's been my hope for years, I want to be able to do my part to at least bring awareness, until i'm able to do something about it. Thank you for saying what many won't, no matter the backlash, you have my respect
You deserve even more respect, considering you have a channel you risk when you talk about these things. I’m just a person that comments on videos.
What’s sad is that a lot of these more geeky interests get colonized by woke extremists, many of whom haven’t even been fans for very long and don’t care about anything other can getting fresh material for their gay fanfics. You can tell that by how they treat artists/writers who work in the property when they say or do something that goes against their politics.
I appreciate that, but be careful, it's dangerous to show support towards me and I don't want any unnecessary hate drawn towards you or anyone that does. I will continue to talk about what I believe, especially if something I love is being utilized as a tool that could be harmful, so for whatever it's worth imma try and create my own fandom surrounding these topics as I cover them. Got kicked out of the TF Fandoms online I was a part of. Stuffs rough when people can't fathom someone with a different viewpoint
Came back to this video because people are now just finding out about Nightshade 🤦♂️
This proves that no one uses Paramount +
The content on there, even though some is good, just isn't worth it honestly, Then they do this... hard to support
I think we can all agree on one thing: If ROTB turns out woke, we're all gonna be heartbroken.

Why do they have LIPS?! God I hate everything about this "cartoon". It's choppy, poorly written, and just... EUGH!
That's a good way to put it. "EUGH" I probably made a similar sound while watching it lol.

@@GanondorfsWife Wheeljack in live action movies, first as Q, and this time as Pablo are so humanoid looking that it bothers me. Q looked like Einstein so much it was weird. Idk why we're making the bots look so much like us
When the humans have better writing than the Transformers themselves, that's a big problem. And I'm bummed. The fact that this show had familiar voice actors for the first time in what feels like forever alone made me want to check it out. Glad I didn't subscribe to Paramount+ just to watch this show. That's been two shows on this streaming service now that had me intrigued, but completely lost my interest.
I completely understand how you feel. SteveScream has become iconic for me but... just ain't worth it
@@NerdsfeedStarscream throughout the franchise is why I got into TF
Id love to know why they thought having megatron as a good guy was a good idea. Hes a mass murdering megalomaniac who almost wiped out the entire cybertronian species, with no remorse. And everyones just aokay with this? Naw, he needs to suffer. Optimus is a dofus, bumblebee is overrated, elita one is boring and unnecessary and i hate the two new humanbots.
I liked twitch a little bit
Honestly I don't think they put the they/them line to mess up children's minds on purpose, I'm not defending it, but I think they were just trying to be supportive and inclusive to those types of people, which is understandable for any series that isn't for kids (aka a series that's not Transformers) but how they did it was poor and I wish it was never done
I agree with you, or at least I'm hopeful that it wasn't on purpose, and that they had good intentions instead
@@Nerdsfeed Yeah I think most people who do these kinds of things don't actually know the harm they could be doing, as I don't see any reason why they would want to purposefully do this maliciouslu
@@5spec some people do, do it maliciously though, ha I said dodo, like the "Not so secret gay agenda" person for example
The fact that they sneaked the Nightshade scene in at the very end of the series shows they know what they’re doing is wrong.
Yet people are heralding them as heroes. Crazy world
I don't understand why they would ever male megatron the good guy, I know it happened in the comics but that seems like it was handled better than this show. I have yet to start thinking about even witnessing this show but megatron being a hero in a children's TV show is quite unnerving. Megatron was and always will be the bad guy and I fear that the generation will confuse him with being a protagonist.
They have hardly handled it at all in the show. It's beyond disappointing
Do you think kids are stupid or something? Everyone and their mama knows that Megatron is a villain. He’s not a villain for no reason. They explain it very clearly in the show that Megatron WAS the bad guy, then switched sides because he realized he had lost sight of his goals. The decepticons were no longer what they were when he started. They were actively and blatantly endangering another planet when he was just trying to save his own. And this is a show for AFTER the war. So if you don’t understand why they would make Megatron a good guy, you don’t understand who Megatron is.
@@protomanzero8647 I know who Megatron is since 25 years ago, and honestly, I hate Megatron being a good guy. He might occasionally join force with Optimus when it benefits him, but switch side? Nope. And everyone accepting him being a good guy is just plain weird. He was a tyrant who committed many war atrocities. Many were killed by him or by his troops. Did everyone suddenly forget that? He should have been locked up. If Hitler suddenly said he wanted to be a good guy, would you accept that? This cartoon handled it really bad. Even the way the IDW comic handled a good Megatron isn't good. Megatron should just stay as a tyrant or dies like in Transformers Armada and Cyberverse, then letting another Decepticons taking command and signing a treaty with the Autobots.
@@miyako1909I don’t think every new piece of transformers media should always be bound to single form of a character, it should be allowed to be inventive, not to say literally everything should be inventive, but sometimes you should let things change, like beast wars for example compared to g1
not gonna lie, the idea of the traditionally feminine arcee acting like unfiltered flash thompson is the sort of gag i would pull.
It was so off-putting. It'd be different if it was a one-off but she spends the entire episode acting like that. Very strange decision to say the least lol. At least they didn't wipe her memory though I guess... actually the memory wipe was a hero move so I still prefer it lol
Tomboy arcee hmm...
I knew that this show was going to be messed up somehow. It just didn't look good, the figures and everything. I can understand why nickelodeon and paramount would allow this stuff to happen, considering that paramount messed up the Halo TV show. I'm sick of all this stuff that's popping up in schools and in other places. Thanks for letting me know that someone would agree with me. I'm glad i didn't watch this show. THANK YOU!
You're very welcome! I'm glad I was able to help and hope that someday I can do even more to fix this whole mess. I appreciate you and hope you've had a great day
I think that the Nightshade scene happened too fast and the characters were so chill about it that kids will probably not notice or even understand what the scene means until they rewatched it as adults. For me, it was a really touching moment; nobody was screaming, nobody was gasping, and everyone just accepted and loved Nightshade without pain or glory, but yet again I understand parents wanting to be the ones addressing these topics with their children and, wow, I didn't know the demographic was 7 years old, I thought it was for 13+.
Also, I just completely agree with you about the Optimus Prime department, I can feel the paternal energy that characterizes Optimus but I don't feel the moral at all. I want to believe that Optimus is going along with GHOST because he is desperate for peace and he needs humans to collect Energon so what is left of his specie doesn't starve. Megatron has stated that he joined the Autobots to save his specie but I just don't know how he is accomplish it by letting them be tortured by G.H.O.S.T. and I can't believe that non of the Decepticons followed Megatron, they are crazy loyal to him, it makes no sense.
It Cananda is age demographic is higher, but in the U.S, TV Y-7. I don't like the way it was handles because it was handled like that lol and if you'd like me to I can try and explain. Also, other than that, we agree on everything else. Thank you for being respectful my friend, it's all I asked, and I really appreciate it

@@maxav1wolvman874 Ratchet being addicted to Synthetic energon was a good episode too
Priorities am I right?
The only flaw it had was looking for mcguffins and treasure hunts to extend the plot, but to be fair that resulted in very cool and thought provoking character moments between everyone.
No wokeness? What about knockout
i understand thier robots and dont have genders the same way humans do but they CLEARLY DO have genders. bc they are designed to be male by the original creators. even then arcee was spefically stated to be the first FEMALE transformers meaning that there are MALE and female transformers
ps: gender is not a social construct, i said that transformers do not have gender the same way humans do bc human gender are decided by biology while transformers are spafically MADE to be that gender
FACTS RIGHT HERE
I don’t agree with everything but I can respect it, also it’s a alternate universe g1 thing which isn’t a new trope to the franchise. I mean when I see the stuff the other gender stuff I can’t help but to sigh, not out of genuine hate but a involuntary response that I don’t have control over. PS: I watch all of the tf shows whether good or bad as a genuine fan.
That's pretty impressive dude. I have watched most of them, including battlebots which oh boy is it a departure, but never quite finished getting through them. I am hoping to, as well as make videos on them, but we'll see where the channel goes from here. I appreciate you being respectful. It means a lot
Yeah, I knew this show was going to be shit. Especially with all the woke shit implemented. Why can’t we get a series just like Transformers prime anymore?
I feel the same way. Prime was really good, and with me rewatching to break down the episodes, Its even more clear that we need more shows at its level
Gen 1 transformer deaths must have givin some kids in the 80s ptsd
It was controversial to say the least
@Nerdsfeedb tw I 100% agree that earthspark is manipulation
I appreciate that, thank you
The ONLY thing I liked about this show was soundwave. He was probably megtron’s his biggest fan and was definitely hurt when he heard his leader become an opp
I agree with you on that
From what I can tell from this review I can see the similarities between this and Transformers Robots in Disguise 2015. Mainly how there's no true character development. Like how we see in RID 2015 Sideswipe is at first mean to either one of fellow Autobots or his human friends then at the end of the episode he learns his mistake. Next episode Sideswipe then repeats what he did the previous episode, thus ruining his growth as a character.
EXACTLY! But most of the fandom is refusing to acknowledge that here on the basis that they're not adult protagonists even though kids are fully capable of learning from mistakes... thats how they grow and mature
Hey nerdsfeed, great video. I hope you are doing well, as it seems many people are leaving irrational hate comments who did not watch or understand your video and the points about manipulation that were made. Don’t let those comments bog you down, this a very high quality video.
It means a ton, thank you, I've tried to make even better videos on the subjects since. Hopefully I can help someone along the way
WHAT MANIPULATION BRO THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO TEACH AND IF THEY ARE GOING "WOKE" NOW WHY WAS TRANS ARCEE NOT BROUGHT UP OR GAY BREAKDOWN AND KNOCKOUT
Homie said so much, yet nothing at all. Not me nor the OG comment or said anything about them going woke. Here's a video going over how these things can, scientifically, harm kids. ua-cam.com/video/LUBrKiX9DW0/v-deo.htmlsi=L9g3u2dZsZoRm_7v don't worry I made it too. Also, the examples from the comics you just used aren't for kids. So again. You never truly made a rebuttal.
I really wished, that instead of Transformers:Earthspark, that they would continue Transformers:Prime. It could have brought a lot more fans back into the franchise, and it would be worth it for them, as well as nice for us, as fans…
Kinda wish. If they were to do that, that they would forget that RID 2015 existed an test they would hire the Prime Animations team
Idec. I always tend to see each version as a thing in itself, independent, and I love seeing how they twist the characters a little bit every new version. I just wish the humans weren’t so ugly😂
That;s totally fair. I think the parents look fine personally but idek what they did to the kids lol. I hope you enjoy the show till the end!
Okay, here's what I have to say:
I grew up watching the first 3 Bayverse movies, TF Animated and TF Prime. When I heard about Earthspark, I was expecting something like Animated. Man, how wrong I was. Honestly, I would say this show is only better than RID 2015 (even The Last Knight was more enjoyable than this for me). Here's some of the things I don't enjoy at all:
- The fact that this is supposed to be a G1 sequel makes no sense at all (like, Megatron is Galvatron at this point, Bumblebee is Goldbug, etc.)
- The designs... okay, I'll admit, some of them do look good (Soundwave, Shockwave, Grimlock, Elita-One and Brawl), but nearly all the others (mainly Optimus, Megatron, Arcee and Skywarp) look terrible. The same goes to most of the new characters
- Speaking of the characters, the way they are written really troubles me. Shockwave switching sides, for example, feels completely out of character. Like, dude is one of the most loyal Decepticons, it doesn't make sense for him to change sides. Plus, Optimus really doesn't feel like... Optimus. It's not like Bayverse Prime or Animated Prime, where they are different (Animated being less experienced and Bayverse being a death machine), but they still have some of their og character in them. Earthspark Prime, on the other hand, doesn't feel like a big leader, but more like a goofy parent
- Megatron switching sides isn't really bad, the problem is that there isn't really much development on it. The other times Megatron gave up on the Decepticons (like in Prime and IDW), they actually gave a proper development for it
- The new characters really don't please me. Most of them feel empty (at least for me). The Nightshade gender thing also was completely unnecessary. And the human characters... it's the same problem I have most of the time: they just don't feel fleshed out (the only shows/movies where I actually care about the humans are Prime, Animated, Bumblebee and Rescue Bots)
- And now my biggest issue with the Earthspark: character development. To put it simple, during the entire show, it really doesn't feel like they are trying to work correctly with their characters. Like, if you watch other Transformers media like Animated, Prime, IDW, Cyberverse, Rescue Bots or even the live actions, you can actually see some good character development, even if minimal, while Earthspark does it the same way RID did, completely messy.
Honestly, the only thing I truly liked of Earthspark was Soundwave (even though I still like the Bayverse one better)
Thank you so much for the thoughtful and informative review! Thoughts on the humans compared to TF Prime?
@@Nerdsfeed The way I describe it is: the kids are basically if Miko had no development at all. The parents were good, maybe a bit better than Jack's mom. But, overall, I still think TF Prime and TF Animated humans are superior

You're welcome, I'm gonna try and be 100% honest in all my videos, it's crazy the amount of hate that comes from having an opinion though lol
@@Nerdsfeed I honestly can relate to that. Over a month ago when I was question that pronoun stuff in that new transformers show, THAT'S AIMED AT KIDS, I already triggered a snowflake.

@@Nerdsfeed Thank you. :) This may be off subject, but I can give another example due to experience. It's from the Bee Gees Fandom. At lease over a couple months ago I asked an honest question in regard to a certain infamous interview where the Gibb brothers walked off mad.

After the interview, I was still confused to why the brothers walked off mad, so I asked about it in the comment section, and somehow it triggered people.

I only saw the first two episodes, which I did a review on, and I wasn't impressed. Megatron being a "good guy," doesn't sit well with me, so the show lost my interest.
Just recently, I came across this final part you talked about, and for everything you just said, all I have to say is 👏👏👏👏👏
As a father of 5, this focus towards children is highly concerning. Especially when you listen to the people who are detransitioning.
Corporation are only focusing and lifting up one side and not bothering to hear the other from people who actually have gone through it. That leads me to ask the simple question of why? In the 80s, I remember "experts" testifying that cigarette smoking isn't linked to lung cancer. Now, we have "experts" making all types of illogical claims and anti-scitentific and biological claims.
I commend you for your bravery and boldness during such tyrannical times where freedom of speech is being silenced because it doesn't go with the mobs narrative.
Don't apologize to people who are willing to crush you simply for disagreeing with them. That's not how democracy works. That's not how it ever worked.
I appreciate your kind words. I put a lot of research into my claims before I made them, I hate all the hate I've gotten, but years of bullying has me accustomed to it lol.

@@Nerdsfeed wise words
About the nightshade scene: It could be argued that, while it does feel very manipulative to younger audiences for addressing gender issues in a distasteful manner, in-universe cybertronians are not of the same species as us and that in general many of them do not need to be attached to those genders because of their non-sexual biology. Of course all interpretations so far have categorized some of the most popular characters as male or female like Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream as all male. That being said, it was presented poorly and without a hint of subtlety whatsoever. Besides that scene, there can be a whole other lot of more legitimate reasons to hate this show like making Optimus Prime not a believable character and the show lacking impact in any way. I'd rather stick to watch Transformers Prime 10 times more than watch anything of this show.
I know there are more reasons, that's why I reviewed the reviewed the show seperate from that scene, its a really bad shoe writing wise. I completely agree with that TF Prime statement. Making a video on it as we speak
Imo I don’t think Transformers is the correct outlet for this gender ideology. Since they are non human characters, adding the ideology will cause unnecessary confusion and division within the fan base.
I said this on an Instagram post:
The problem isn't the fact they used the pro noun thing. It's the fact that this sort of political ideology doesn't work in certain media, especially like transformers.
Transformers is a show about two factions fighting for their right to control and save their planet. Now add that political ideology and LGBT representation it's gonna be perceived in a whole negative way unintentionally. Someone is gonna be like "this offends me" on Twitter then the transformers are done for...
I honestly think the second biggest problem with the non-binary nightshade thing (second because what you said is first) is how the heck does this character even know about or understand the concept of being nonbinary,because this just comes out of nowhere so no one could’ve explained it to them offscreen; also,considering the situation the characters are in,deciding on what pronouns they like best is the last thing they should be focusing on.
Straight facts, he was literally just born, and instead of questioning the war he was just drafted into he's concerned about pronouns. It's so nonsensical
@@Nerdsfeed yeah,it should at the very least be in season 2…or season 1 part2,whatever it doesn’t matter.
I mean, there’s been non-binary Transformers before? If there’s any creatures where not conforming to organic gender rigidities, it’s them. They’re goddamn robots. They can literally change their entire selves in ways humans can’t dream of. Plus, Nightshade is still figuring themself out as time rolls, so of course they’re gonna seem like “they’re just making it up”. They literally just came into being and understand little; essentially a template, absorbing what the Autobots give them. Then comes their emotional bond with the humans, further instilling that sense of belonging and what is inherently good/family to them.
Why does it matter?
@@gavo7911 Um because writing is literally the most important part of a show lmbo
Start from 19, I skipped ahead and started EarthSpark from there after the controversial episode, and the story actually becomes interesting, where the GHOST organization are actually the true villains. Also, EarthSpark Starscream is a bit unique here, not traitorous or cowardly; yet not like Armada or Animated.
Oof that's nine episodes after I stopped I believe. I think i'll get into it once it's over, whenever the content I make means nothing, and won't affect the show in any way. Sure nobody will watch any video I posibly make on it by then but i'd rather that then make it seem like I support things I don't within 7yr old media. They should have just made it TV-13 at the very least
All of this (or at least 95% of this) is all true, both about the show itself and the manipulation part, even if the manipulation part had a bit of bias, it is still somewhat true
I agree I'm very tired of this being forced into kids shows its why if I were a parent I'd let my child watch the same things I grew up with and not the current shows cause kids should be normal kids and not have to think about all that crap at kindergarten ages hell that's also why Disney is on fire more and more every passing minute keep your gender identity politics out of kid shows
100% as long as there's old media to show them, that isn't trying to preach things that would be confusing to them, that's what parents should go with
Oh Earthspark is kids show so agent croft's death, brawl's dead body, mandroid's final form and dead thrash are for kids wow I didn't know that
@@KRziin your sarcastic comment doesn't help defend it in the slightest
I feel the same. Tired doesn’t even feel like the right word. Exhausted maybe. I just wish the integrity of the properties I enjoyed could not be so cheap and hollow, puppeted around for some ulterior agenda. Making money off toys is one thing but this is just garbage.
Thanks for your honest breakdown of the show.
Thank you for understanding and letting me know how you feel about it. I appreciate that
Megatron becomes good. When I first heard of this, I thought it had to be some kind of clone or alternate dimension but no the Megatron that we are all familiar has turned over a new leaf. that’s the only reason why I watch the show and it’s worth it. 💪
That's fair enough, they just didn't handle it well enough for me, so I'm not a fan myself lol

Dang you seem to lack the knowledge on how UA-cam works, that's okay, i'll clue you in. Sometimes the absolutely broken copyright system will flag videos if they have certain scenes and dialogue. and due to that, will block them. When that happens removing the scenes, with UA-cams cut tool, is normally the only course of action. Then, just maybe, the description will help fill in the blanks of that issue. Or maybe even a community post. Sadly, you only commented this to be rude, given you've already done so. Sad to see. Some may even call it... Brilliant in a sarcastic way
I wonder how they’ll mess up season 2, cause it seems like there isn’t going to be any good ways to save the show’s story/narrative unless there’s a drastic change(Imagine if it got as dark as the Prime series)
I love Prime but I don't think they have the guts to make this show anywhere near as dark
trust me, they don't. This show just isn't good. I gave it a shot but couldn't get through the first episode.
Hi I would like to say that its very important to note that most adults dont even understand the various "identies." Putting those little snipits ina childs mind can be just as confusing as explaining some random philosophy upon them. Does anyone remember how teaching common core math was an absolute waste of time and failure? Its the very reason we dont allow religion in schools right?
I agree with you. I'm okay with religion in school, like if a student initiates a prayer, or teachers want to put out a nativity, or if it's a specific class to choose or as part of world history. Those ways I can justify it
@@Nerdsfeed heck, world religions class just teaches the facts about a religion, like its history and core principles. said class doesn't try to convert like a holy site does (best saved for out of class).
I didn't even know this show was supposed to be a sequel to G1. Then why do we have Megatron and Bumblebee instead of Galvatron and Goldbug? And what about Beast Wars and Beast Machines? They were sequels to G1 as well. This show really should have been it's own continuity.
It isn't, well, not entirely. I may have been wrong in that regard, although many of the original events are still canonized within the show, and terms like G1.5 used by the creators which implies an update to G1. It is still a wide belief that the show's supposed to be a sequel, i've been told yes and no now, so truthfully I'm not sure. It's at least becoming it's own continuity for whatever that's worth. I apologize for not knowing a straight answer due to conflicting opinions. But i'm sorry if I was wrong and it isn't supposed to be canon
@@Nerdsfeed Don't worry about it. I'm honestly not interested enough to watch this show. I've been a Transformers fan for decades, but most of the recent stuff just isn't for me. I skipped RID and Cyberverse, and I'll likely skip this one too.
@@greendemon905 I don't blame you there, Cyberverse had some good parts, but the beginning was truly a slog to get through at times if I remember right. What transformer show is your favorite?
@@Nerdsfeed My favorite would have to be either Animated or Prime.
I know not everyone likes the style of Animated, but I think it's one of the most unique versions of the Transformers. It reinvented a lot of characters and gave them plenty of depth. Like how they turned Ratchet into a guilt-ridden veteran, or Shockwave into a shapeshifting undercover agent. TFA also gave us Sari Sumdac, who raised the bar for the human characters in Transformers shows She wasn;t just a spectator to the conflict, but literally a part of the Transformers world herself.. Shame we never got a fourth season to wrap up all the plot elements.
Prime's style was like a mix of Bayverse and Animated, and the bots looked amazing! I loved that the show never talked down to its audience. The story was told with the maturity it needed, but it never got too dark for kids. It had kid characters, but they never got on my nerves. Jack, Miko and Raf had some comedic moments, but they mainly treated the war with the seriousness it deserved. I know a lot of people hate Miko, but she never bothered me. The show gave us THE BEST Megatron. A powerful warrior with a devilish intellect and plenty of quotable dialogue, masterfully voiced by Frank Welker. It had one of the coolest Soundwaves who stole every scene he was in, and only had A SINGLE line of dialogue! I still remember the start of season 2, where Optimus reverted back into Orion Pax, and Megatron tried his best to convince him that the Decepticons were the good guys. Or the episode where Starscream and Knock-Out release a zombie plague on the ship. Or the part where Megatron found the Star Saber, realised the damage it could do in the hands of the Autobots, and replaced his own arm with that of Solus Prime to make a dark copy. The only thing I disliked about the show treated Unicron. He felt really disappointing compared to earlier versions of the character.
My least favorite show is Energon. I watched it years ago when I still tried to watch every Transformers show, and I can't tell you what happened in it. I completely forgot the plot. All I remember is lifeless CGI models, endless transformation sequences, and Kicker Jones, who might be a worse human character than Sam Witwicky.
I completely agree besides the fact that I liked Sam Witwicky... to a point. The plot of the films may have made him a mess by the end of the Bayverse but he had a few standout moments for me. I'm biased though due to my love for the films... the first three anyway
Fully agree on your assessment; but one thing I should say is...why we all sometimes feel the need to apologize, why for speaking the truth? Till when will these corporations continue to get on board with this madness? It clearly shows there's nothing good, it only goes down hill quickly from there. See IDW once they took part on spreading falsehood, support for transformers comics went down so rapidly as also did it's content's quality. A real pity I reckon.
Considering the death threats i've gotten, hate that i've deleted, and accusations thrown at me... that's why we feel the need to apologize for speaking our minds.
@@Nerdsfeed Never apologize for speaking the truth, your only making yourself look like you’re in the wrong. Just don’t do it.
@@Optimus_Prime_2007 I realize that now, no matter what, most people can't disagree respectfully :/
theres been a lot of hate in these comments so i dont blame him ive reported some that were just straight up nasty
I only saw this show via the nightshade thing and im glad i looked into it here cause i don't want to just hate something cause it wasn't as good as transformers prime (which i just got into) or does something odd.
Earthspark seems like its just really meh. You did a great job showing the show in a fair way.
Definitely won't see me watching it anytime soon, though.
I definitely don't blame you on that, I love TF Prime, and would've recommended it haha. Armada is pretty good, although far different, its worth the experience even if its not up your alley
Optimus really started mewing

@@Nerdsfeed doflaimingo from one piece I changed it to him during the pandemic when all I did was watch it
@@doff1395 oh okay thank you! I could tell it was the OP art style but not who it was
I love that the show is like "Transgender people are cool" then portrays Megatron, a fascist dictator who has genocided millions, as a benevolent individual who wants to "turn good".
Oh murdering many in a civil war? That was just as he put it "Optimus and I have had our disagreements." so now that he agree Optimus was right it's okay now... apparently
lol i only saw the first episode when it dropped on youtube i dont have paramount. but i agree with the non binary thing. as a kid i always replicated what i saw on TV and having stuff like that being infused on kids at a young age isn't the best idea. i dont mind the non binary character at all the thing is kids are impressionable if it weren't for that i'd have no problem with nightshade. questions like that should be pondered during adulthood.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you commenting with experience and am glad that you agree
This is just wrong. The ideas should be presented at a young age. Kids should be free to express themselves in whatever way they want, once they get a bit older they can start asking real questions, however encouraging kids to be themselves even if it "breaks gender norms" or whatever is a good idea, and leads for better outcomes.
I agree. Something like this shouldn’t be in a cartoon aimed for a younger audience, ‘cause they’re not gonna get this until like, maybe a decade later.
As for the show overall, I’d say it’s pretty good (definitely no TFP, tho).
@@EcliipseYT did you even read my comment
@@matrixpictures7799 Yeah I did. "things like that should only be questioned during adult hood" that is just wrong. Kids need to experiment so they dont have to worry about it later. They also try and figure out who they are at those ages, so it is normal to be asking such questions
Finally, an actually well explained video of why this show is and. Every time I raise that point people call me transphobic, instead of the (in my opinion) obvious connection of "Kid probably shouldn't be asked about topics they literally have no knowledge in"
I know how you feel and am sorry you've had to listen to that. I have a whole "held for review" section filled with people calling me that and threatening my life. I'm glad you knew what I meant when I brought it up. Thank you for letting me know! I appreciate you!
@@Nerdsfeed Its why I don't join fandoms period. Who wants to deal with toxic behavior like that? One should be allowed to voice their opinion on a specific show without the name calling and life being threatened.
@@Bunny23723 for what its worth, even if I have to hide half the word from my channel, I'd like to make this void of that
@@Bunny23723 it’s sad how much the tf fandom has degenerated over the last 10 years, I went to tf con this year and there was a stand with 26 trans flags on it wirh a picture of Tarn saying ‘trans lives matter’.
Like okay but bitch the f that have to do with Transfomers
And so, Kids are not gonna go to their mamas and be like "hey mum can my pronouns be them/they" if you think that what's gonna happen, then you either delusional, deaf or outright idiotic cuz kids aren't as well developed as us teens and adults so even if their curiosity bar is at a max, their gonna see explosions and go "oh something's happening" and forget about it
Nightshade is just a Dorky Nerd who wants to protect people and that is what we should be talking about not talking his gender which is usually sidelined and when it isn't, it gives a powerful message which all kids should learn, this world can be scary but that doesn't mean we should start limiting what our kids should be viewing just based on our very wrong stupidity, unless if you think kids should only watch shows like paw patrol and Dora the explorer and only those then your an imbecile cuz one way or another, they will not be exposed to as much message as opposed to literally giving them access the whole of nickelodeon and letting them watch something like the loud house which most episodes contain funny jokes but also messages for kids to learn
Kids shouldn't be tied to one show forever if your really trying to let your kid grow, don't make them stay limited to one show, kids need a creative brain to move on with life and if you let them only watch something like max and ruby, then your an idiot and in this case Nerdsfeed needs to be perma banned as we do not need someone like him to be on youtube
here's my question "why"? Why does he/she not fit nightshade? it makes no sense "just cause" is not a reason and I agree 100% anyone who thinks its ok can not think for themselves at all. Please anyone who says it's progressive and smart and that we need to push sexuality onto our kids please for the love of God just answer a one word very simple question "WHY"
The only way these questions get answered 90% of the time is with emotional manipulation, guilt tripping, and insults sadly.
This review is perfect and sums up all my thoughts on it but I feel bumblebee developed in the second season or second half
I never watched it that far lol
The issue with nightshade is that little kids are going to start saying that their pronouns are they/them simply because they want to be “cool” like the big robot guy on the screen, and then that could end up evolving into the kid being confused about their gender entirely because they were exposed to this culture at such a young age, when they possibly wouldn’t have had that issue if they were never exposed to this in the first place.
We need to help those who feel misgendered, however actively trying to confuse the younger generations into having to deal with the same issues they face and are actively fighting to have help with? That’s fucked up.
I'm so glad somebody understands
Armchair psychology time I guess lol. Anyone preaching "confusion" is just a protectophile.
Honestly, I didn't mind them making Megatron a good guy. I imagined him and Optimus working together in harmony, with of course, a brotherish relationship. I feel that if they, indeed, drop the woke stuff, and maybe did some more emotional work with Optimus (in my opinion, he sounded more indifferent than the other characters) it would be better than it already is. I thought the family character building was very wholesome, and also peak. It does show that kids can also change the world for the better, however I feel as if it's not clear on what their message is attempting to send to youths.
I can respect that, I liked how they handled it in Prime, and even Cyberverse. How there was that hint of respect still between Optimus and Megatron so whenever they fight together they are more powers than alone but conflicting ideologies keep them from truly every being on the same exact side. They could have done it in Dark of The Moon surprisingly enough and had plans on it. Megatron and Optimus were originally going to team up to take down sentinel and then form a peaceful aliiance(ish) to achieve a common goal without actually being on the same side
Personally I don’t really consider it as a sequel to the G1 timeline. Earthspark is it’s own thing.
Also I’ve understood both sides of the Nightshade argument. While diversity in shows is always good, some children might not fully understand pronouns at such a young age. Either showcase LGBTQ+ characters at a show for older kids (when they understand them more), or have parents explain the concept to them, or don’t show them at all. There are many ways to do this
I completely agree
and to think that this is many children's first contact with the Transformers mythology. My first one was Rescue Bots, and I can say it's a good cartoon for 7 year olds, not like this one
I agree with you there
I agree with your opinion with the Nightshade scene. My younger brother never knew anything until 2022 when he watched blues clues...
Yeah a lot of kids innocent thoughts got ruined because of that...
Damn. My condolences.
@@Nerdsfeed 😂
I didn’t even know what tf a drag Queen was until he asked me and I googled it
It's worrisome when young kids are learning things like that even before the older generations do. I'm not meaning like Genz, Millenial, etc. I mean like Dad, Mom, Older Brother, Younger brother
What makes me hurt or ticked off more than the woke parts is the forced pinoy baiting representation.
Alex Malto: Have I never told you I grew up in Bohol in the Philippines?
Prime Arcee: Tell that to someone who cares.
May I ask why?
I dislike the show for turning every single Decepticon into "they weren't really the bad guys after all" or "i was abused so that makes my warcrimes excusable". How do you take Tarantulas, one of the most twisted and vile transformers ever made, and make him "le wholesome and heccin misunderstood"? Even Starscream isn't safe, and I would have been fine with it if he wasn't voiced by Steve Blum, who was the slimiest and most despicable version of Starscream seen in animation.
Yea the show suffers from what I like to call Steven universe syndrome where no villain is ever bad "there just misunderstood" cause yea tarantulas is totally a "misunderstood" character.
That's so infuriating. SU really shot itself in the food by making the biggest and baddest into uwu archetypes. Killing the stakes by making the fights that were built up, with the built up threat, into "can we just talk it out" moments
For three years, I've been writing my own Transformers story, a whole different continuity and iteration, an original version of mine that is inspired by the different concepts and stories already introduced. In my version of the story, there is a clear distinction between the "females" and "males," especially with how the fandom still debates about why there are two genders.
In my story, the females are called the Producers while the males are called the Builders. I'm not going to elaborate further on the History of this because I want the rest of the story to be a surprise, but basically, the Producers farm Energon. They are born with tools that help them produce more of those resources that support Cybertronian life. Meanwhile, the Builders create and construct the structures present on Cybertron, hence explaining their buff appearance because of the "muscles" they posses that give them the strength to lift heavy objects and do heavy work. They are also equipped with tools for constructing, while the Producers lack those traits, which is why they're slim because they do not need those "muscles" and focus more on Cybertronian "farming" and sustaining the supplies.
However, despite all that, both are very capable and skillful warriors who can fight just as deadly. I hope this concept will be fine with others, because I've always wanted to set a distinction between the male and female Cybertronians. 😅
Its a very interesting idea. Kinda of like the hunters and gathers of life on earth. Very reminiscent of both the past as well as tribal life that still exists. I'm very interested and super supportive of this iteration, as long as it uses its own original cast (which I'm sure it will), keep me posted about it if you don't mind :)
@@Nerdsfeed Thank you! I truly appreciate the feedback! And yes, I can give you more details on this if you wish! 😄

Read the IDW
I understand where you're coming from regarding the Nightshade scene. I remember being caught off guard by it considering that Nightshade had just been born, and as far as my knowledge goes for transformers, they don't have a concept of gender like humans. I know in the IDW comics they had to learn about it, but maybe it's a Terran thing? Plus, I was more focused on their plan in that episode. I thought they handled it well, they glossed it over, but I understand that with how the writers posed it as a "question" (in quotes cuz it's not really a question), it can be damaging to a young child. Especially if they hyper-fixate on it. I do think calling it manipulation is a stretch though. Kids see things all the time, and they will think about certain questions. It's up to the parents to recognize when their kids have something bothering them and address them. Cuz if Earthspark didn't mention gender, someone or something was bound to (especially nowadays). Kids are naturally curious. Honestly, I think the best approach would've been to have just Nightshade ask to be called with they/them pronouns without the additional commentary. I know they had a whole episode with Nightshade interacting with a teenager that went by she/they in one episode in the other half of season 1, but I haven't seen it so I cannot say how they've handled it outside of one scene.
I think discussions about people being different are fine, and great even since they can normalize certain aspects of a person early on. Though I do agree that it was an awkward placement to have that topic thrown in especially with the context of the scene.
I respect you being so respectful, and agree with you to a point actually, but hate that "Cuz if Earthspark didn't mention gender, someone or something was bound to (especially nowadays)." is a truth. 7 year olds shouldn't have to be concerned with gender-identity. Especially since there are new pronouns made up just about every day. Such a sad world we live in.
If it had to be in there, which it didn't, just calling him the pronouns without the additional scenes and commentary definitely would've been the best approach.
@@Nerdsfeed
I 100% agree with you. I don't like it either. As much as we preach about letting kids be kids, we don't. Kids are being fed gender-identity stuff so much more frequently that it's crazy. Unfortunately, it just means parents will have to explain these things earlier on, there's no escaping it at this point. Which is what I meant by that comment.
I am glad we agree on how they should've best approached. At least it wasn't focused on for too long in that scene. I hope to watch the rest of season 1 soon to see how the series develops, especially that one episode that has a focus on Nightshade. I think Earthspark has the potential to be good, but I deffo see the discrepancies that you've pointed out (I never watched G1, only watched a handful of Transformers series).
No problem about the respect thing. You're being respectful, so I shall reciprocate.
Thank you, I hope you're able to enjoy the show as it continues, who knows maybe it'll get better? I hope it does and am glad we agree on how it should be approached as well! Have a great day!
@@Nerdsfeed
Same. So far, the fights are the best thing about the show with some good episodes. Hopefully, I'll come back to this thread once I've watched the rest of the season.
Have a great day!
Now while I haven't seen the show for myself, the idea of a good megatron can work in animation as it has in the IDW comics(I haven't read those ones only the 2019 reboot.....I got in late to the party for the comics.) I think the best to handle a Megatron that switched sides honestly, the Prime Megatron. Megatron from Transformers Prime yes took ques from many other megatrons and had his origin as such like being a Gladiator so yes he knew oppression but when he felt the same kind of oppression he inflicted onto many other cybertronians in the way Unicron Oppressed him, he finally understood the grave mistake he made in his thousands of years of war and grew a distaste for it. This Megatron could of been worthy of a series where he goes forth and trys to redeem himself from all the deeds he has done and build himself as a better Cybertronian BUT instead just from the clips seen in this video I can see this Megatron for seemingly no reason changed sides. I just find it odd that he does this when only other times I know Megatron to change sides or work with the autobots is if he had to or he finally seend the damage he has done to others be done to him. Now while his design and altmode is ok(I really like the idea of Megatron as a Helicopter since Animated is one of my top 3 designs for Megatron. side note my rankings for that are 1.) Prime Megatron, 2.) Animated Earth Mode Megatron. 3.)Last Knight Megatron which yes the movie sucked but his design didn't.) I still just find it hard to like this Megatron due to really no reason for his switching sides besides to cause "Tension" Between Megatron and the other Decepticons for really as repeated before no reason.
I agree 100% you are absolutely right
