What would you change in rid15 If you could?
DAMN IT'S A TRAP QUESTION1!!11!1
Because I would change a lot of things! But not like "disney making live action of their old movies" kind of change, but more like "i love the concept and characters so much that I will give more info about them also fix story"
And for the sake of your time and my mental health, I won't start talking about EVERY ITTY BITTY TINY THING THAT MAKES ME MAD ANGRY Soo... I'm just gonna tell you about main things and focus mainly on 1 season :D AND THAT GONNA BE JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION WHAT WOULD AT LEAST A LITTLE FIXT THE SHOW, YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH ME
Firstly I would change OP by deleting him from the show, like let this old fart rest! I would show more of Primes heaven-Azgard, when he struggles with being a god (ofc I would change his design for more god looking, which he couldn't transformer anymore) and if it didn't work out, I would alternatively put Nemesis which could somehow got his own consciousness or just do another demantoid stuff (which could solve most problems with characters like fucking Soundwave), but I'm more focusing on just making OP a ghost who could just watch actions of Bee and try contact with him. As a bonus I would at the fact that OP could say only few words, because how hard for him is contacting with his son, and mainly show what he want to say! (maybe in sign language, after all canonically Bumblebee knows this language, because he could talk)
Add finally Drift as a main character, because at this point it's pissing me of when I see Windblade and OP in opening, WHEN DIRFT IS LONGER ON SCREEN THEN THEM BOTH. Also delete that bitch too, and as a replacement I would add Chromia or Arcee (but I'm more into Chromia idea)
FINALLY do some character development, because we practically know NOTHING about past of characters, besides of little part that was said in their dialogues (WHICH ARE CHANGING IN EVERY LANGUAGE, SO IN ENGLISH WE HAVE SMALL REFERENCE TO SUNNY, WHEN IN POLISH WE DON'T HAVE ANY). That's why i would delete few episodes to just put character development or just change those ep to just make them develop those idiots. I heard from my friend which read a fucking rid15 book about drift, where was just a little part of his past, but... IT SHOULD BE IN FUCKING SHOW, NOT IN A BOOK WHICH READ MY FRIEND AND 5 OTHER CHILDREN.
Ik (kinda out of topic, but hear me out) I'm aware that this show was made because Hasbro had big struggles with money at this time and that's why they chosen to just make so much money that they could and they made it more safe option (which failed sooooooooo hard XDDD) but like bro, VAs were writing episodes at some point!!! And they lost so much potential which I fell in love in this 2015... OK THAT WAS MY FULL RANT, LETS BACK TO THE LIST :DDDDDD
I'm aware too, that they had problems with licencing, that is why drift isn't bunny Drift and Sides is the best version of him ever. But for god sake those designs... I beg you change them, for something other IK you didn't have any money then, but PLS they look bad... Specially after you find out that they faces are 2D and backgrounds too (they tried do the same that is ind earth spark which is mix of 2D and 3D, but it looks weird.) And it's not only Drift and Sides problem, that's everyone problem!!! Like why Bee is so futuristic?! Isn't he should be old timer for them, and in first ep theoretically he should be still in his earth alt model... SO WHY HE HAS SO MUCH LEDS, LIKE FR, IK they wanted to make him adult, but it could be make better! Did you were even aware that Sides could be blue, and has more Sunny character because of licencing??? But his alt model sucks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I would also give a reason why human do LITTERALLY nothing with those dumb bitches! Like at this point should be like whole war army chasing for them? XDDD In my opinion after Optimus died and Ratchet came back to earth and grave after his dead husband, he was kicked back to Cybertron after few years, because government chosen that ALL cybertronians are threat... so yeah... And because of that Bee can't exit Crown city (Królewiec) and near by area of it, just because Alchemor, which is stack underwater of the city river, jams their signal. AND THAT'S WHY THEY NEED USE HUMAN HUMAN COMMUNICERS LIKE RADIO! AND THAT IS WHY THOSE STUPID AS BITCHES FROM CYBRTRON DIDN'T FOUND ANY OF THEM JUST LIKE THAT----- Yk it's just my stupid idea uwu
I think also making less episodic plot could make it better! Like more pokemon-like format it's cool, but... in this case it's not fitting at all.
FOR GOT SAKE WHY DID THEY USED MEGATRONUS?! BECAUSE THEY COULD HAVE MEGATRON??? It's for me a joke which is stupid as hell, Imo it should be Liege Maximo!!! After all he is in this continuity literally a Loki from MCU, why not use something new and leave Megatron dead.
For today I think that will be all, but there is still one more thing that pisses me of to te state that I'm asking like a crazy mad dog. Which is this scene:
It's so... so unemotional! Isn't Optimus be he his dearest friend and husband since ever??!?! And Bee isn't your little baby anymore?! I hate it so much like i can't breath!!! (sorry that i edited it a little bit, but i needed that) And to just end it nicely, I LOVE many many many things about rid15 too, but that doesn't mean that this show is just waste potential mainly and it makes me sad deeply when I see Earth Spark where is worse version of rid15 Bee having the similar relation with kids and everyone cares more about this, then the show that created it (and no i'm not talking about comics at all/srs)
Still love and hate rid15 😘😘😘

(sorry op this isnt your fault) ok hi hello my name is rockofdoom and i'm here to explain to you what outer wilds is. are you tired of people telling you that this game is really good the best game ever i promise, refusing to elaborate, and then expecting that to be enough to convince you to spend real human dollars on it? this is the post for you!
[THIS POST CONTAINS NO SPOILERS. IT IS JUST LONG. TABLE OF CONTENTS BELOW CUT.]
Today, I'll go over: I. What is Outer Wilds? II. What is the gameplay actually like? III. Why is this game good? IV. Ok, cool. Why the HELL are people so cagey about it? V. Should I buy it?
Feel free to skip to the sections you care about. Let's get started!
I. What is Outer Wilds? Outer Wilds is a narrative exploration game about exploring a solar system and uncovering the lost history of the ancient alien civilization that left ruins throughout it. You play as the newest member of Outer Wilds Ventures, a ramshackle astronaut program run by the inhabitants of planet Timber Hearth, and you carry with you the only device capable of translating that alien civilization's written language. During the game you'll explore various planets and locations in order to find and decipher the lost history of your own solar system. II. What is the gameplay actually like? The gameplay of Outer Wilds consists of two main parts: 1) exploring the 3D environments of Outer Wilds' completely open-world solar system 2) reading the conversations left behind by the alien civilization. You spend a lot of time flying around beautiful hazardous locations, in both your spacesuit and your spaceship (both of which have intentionally finicky controls that require practice but are quite delightful to play with), you spend a lot of time reading dialogue and conversations, and you spend a lot of time thinking about where you want to go or what you want to look for next.
III. Why is this game good? Different people will have different answers for this, so I'll list a couple reasons and details here. First, the game is just immaculately crafted. The art is beautiful, the writing is entertaining and intriguing, the environment design is frankly unmatched. The game provides a robust note-taking system so you don't need a notebook or anything to play it, but it will still often have you feeling lost while you explore the game's mysteries -- which is a delightful part of the game, if you know to expect it. The game's open world is hands-down the best one ever put into a video game. The entire solar system is rendered at all times and flying your ship between and onto the game's various planets is a genuinely stunning experience. But perhaps most importantly, the game's narrative is a breath-taking gut punch. The player is so thoroughly a part and participant of the story, a story that could only exist in the medium of games. It also has the high honor of being one of the only games that has ever made me cry.
IV. Ok, cool. Why the HELL are people so cagey about it? Outer Wilds is often compared to a metroidvania by people who have played it, and for good reason. However, the only thing the player ever gains during the game is knowledge. When you encounter a problem, the solution is never to unlock a new ability or piece of equipment, and is instead always to find a relevant piece of information in order to learn how to overcome the obstacle. This means that learning details about the story or world before you actually encounter them in the game has a material impact on your gameplay experience. Take it from me, a bitch who normally does NOT give a shit about spoilers and whose favorite pastime is re-reading books, knowing less going in is better. So, out of fear of genuinely harming the experience of a game very special to them, people clam up to avoid saying the wrong thing. And fail to explain what the game even is, as a result.
V. Should I buy it? I heartily recommend doing so, but I don't know you! If what I've said here piqued your interest, go ahead! This game is absolutely worth full price, and its DLC is absolutely worth it as well (it essentially adds an extra storyline that really fills out the experience even more, and the game was already my favorite of all time without it). If you can grab it on sale that's great too! However, this game is a 3D game. In a big, physics-based open world. It's not the hardest game to run in the world, but there IS hardware that will be unable to run it. And it kind of pisses me off that no one mentions this. If you're on a laptop or low-power device, probably don't spend your money on it!
Conclusion Outer Wilds is my favorite game of all time, and I love sharing it with people! But also, it is not going to be everyone's favorite game of all time. Because not everyone loves the same things. In my opinion there are few worse feelings than being dropped into an experience that is just not for you by an excited friend who is really emotionally invested in you having fun. It feels disappointing, it feels like you're letting people down, it sours any enjoyment the game could have given you, terrible! Hopefully now you have a better idea of what this game is, and can make an informed decision over whether or not this game is for you. If you decide to play, I hope you have fun uncovering the secrets of the universe! And if you don't, I hope you can rest easy ignoring every post like this one forever, secure in the knowledge that no. You don't have to play this game. Thank you for reading!
outer wilds is on sale. get it now. don't look up anything about it just play it.
