#it’d be like when reylo became canon but the opposite. ya know?

Is it okay if I be a little delusional about the movie in your askbox? I had naively hoped because the movie was going to focus on op and megs, we’d finally get a more blatantly queercoded look at their relationship that could be explored more in depth. But seeing mcu thor attached to the project snapped me back to reality and made me remember hasbro needs to make money so there’s no way in hell we’re getting anything gay out of this 😔 what’s even the point if those old men can’t bicker like the old married couple they are

I… really didn’t have that expectation. The romance in megatron and optimus’ dynamic has always only existed in subtext. While transformers has brought a lot of queerness into the franchise, I wouldn’t say a focus on optimus and megatron would bring that focus in (quite the opposite honestly…..)

In fact, I think there’s a whole thing in the bayverse films about them being brothers? There’s definitely some line in there that created a lot of common headcanons/fanon. I think. Correct me if I’m wrong

So with that in mind I have frankly been fearing some sibling type dynamic to be focused on. Which would break the fandom. It’d be funny to watch though
