#it always takes the movieverse to drive the point home

New Deadpool & Wolverine trailer is out! Looks like the fun with a little feels that it should be.

I actually kinda like psycho movieverse Optimus, and obviously characters need to change and evolve over time to remain relevant/interesting. But I do sometimes miss wholesome space dad Optimus who always has an inspirational speech on hand and is forever a pillar amidst the storm. [Moderate ROTB spoilers in case you haven't seen it still]

Though I will say, I think that's why I like ROTB Optimus so much. He's kind of a middle ground between the two, if that makes sense. He's definitely unhinged at points and will straight up tear a bad guy's head off, but they do a better job explaining it than in the Bayverse imo. He's clearly feeling guilty for (in his mind, at least) stranding the Autobots on earth with no apparent way home, and is just trying to protect those he can and find a way back to Cybertron- and then Bee is killed right in front of him less than halfway into the movie. He feels to me like a grumpy but loving dad who take his kids through the McDonald's drive-thru when they nag him and buy a single black coffee, but will also beat the shit out of anyone who messes with them.
