The writers of Skybound really looked at Starscream and said: “I can make him worse”

thank god i’m not the only one who finds the incessant babyfication of the cassette guys to be really fucking annoying lol

THANK YOU.

As a treat. I will share my controversial (to popular fanon) reasoning as to why I’m so damn annoyed by the babying of the cassettes. And essentially it boils down to.

It’s boring lmao.

It’s a take the defies canon in a way that is extremely boring to me. It flattens the characters so much so that they’re almost completely indistinguishable from Soundwave’s character (who also gets flattened to hell in fanon). And I’m all for saying “fuck canon! let’s do something fresh!”, but this isn’t fresh. It’s boring. I’ve seen “single parent and their rowdy kids with no personality traits other than being children” a million times.

I’m sure someone could write an extremely interesting piece about family dynamics through the lens of Soundwave and the cassettes. It wouldn’t be my thing for personal reasons, but it could absolutely be done interestingly. But it’s almost never that.

It’s almost always “the cassettes have no actual opinions they just follow Soundwave”. Which isn’t canon and isn’t interesting. At least to me.

I like when they argue with Soundwave. With each other. Have their own goals and grievances and aren’t reduced to “children”.’

I have this thing I say that’s basically “canon is bad but fanon is worse” and yeah. This is worse. It’s boring. Which is fine that it’s boring and unoriginal. Not everything has to be this fresh take I’ve never seen before. But it’s also annoying that there’s so little variety in fandom spaces for compelling versions of characters.

It has always been in there back of my mind that Sg Starscream and Skyfire/Jetfire are colored so similarly

at this point Sg Starscream is sick of the g1 Deception antics
