Michael Bay's sins are many, but none have angered me more than The Last Knight, where we saw a human NOT react to a robot turning into a car.
She was running, the robot turned into a car, and she got in without once acknowledging that there was a robot doing an incredible thing. She didn't even glance in the robot's direction.
She was literally running to the spot where the robot was going to be, like she'd dealt with this sort of thing all the time. It was as if she was instructed just to run to the car and get in, and the animation was added afterwards.
From her point of view, all she was doing was getting into a car. And I think that's why, on a fundamental level, Michael Bay is the worst and his Transformers movies are the worst.
From Bay's perspective, the robots are not characters. They are just special effects for the humans--i.e., the REAL stars--to interact with.
The worst.
And now I'm off to see a new Transformers movie.
It's okay, Bay wasn't involved with this one. All they did was give him a producer's credit or something. There's a good chance this one won't even be racist or sexist.
