Sentinel gives the entire city a mandatory day off to put on his ego event, then not even a day later he triples everyone's shifts to make up for the lost time.

God, this movie is good.

Way better pitch than what Ego went with.

They deserve to meet

Yeah, I think I'm still bitter about this…

Transformers: One - What's In A Kneel?

!!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

With the responsibility of leadership and the dangers of pedestals and hero worship being such major themes, it only makes sense that all three of the film's leaders would show their true characters, and in doing so seal their fates, in moments where they have to kneel/bow.

Sentinel Prime essentially sets the entire second half of the film in motion when both the heroes and we as the viewer see him kneel to the Quintessons. It confirms everything that Alpha Trion was just telling them/us about him, and it's also the very thing that ends up getting broadcast to Iacon in order to finally expose Sentinel and turn the public against their False Prime.

For all his superficial charisma and his talk of looking out for the little guys, Sentinel himself is truly nothing more than a self-centred, spineless coward, who couldn't care less for the needs of the many and gladly bends to the will of bigger bullies/oppressors in order to keep himself in power.

After learning of Sentinel's betrayal and being subsequently captured with the High Guard, D-16 makes a point to stand while in custody and adamantly refuses to kneel. Even when Sentinel begins beating and torturing him, D-16 makes it abundantly clear that he has no intention of bowing to him or anyone else ever again.

In better circumstances this could be a heroic trait, a courageous defiance and the willingness to stand up in the face of injustice. But it just as becomes a negative one, and it's one of the last warning signs to the kind of leader that Megatron is going to be.

He may have started out with good and heroic intentions, but because of this Megatron sees himself as superior, and whether by choice or by force, he expects his fellow Cybetronians to rally behind him just as they did with Sentinel. While he sees himself as a revolutionary, in the end he's just going to become another tyrant.

And then we have Orion Pax. For much of the film, he's a far cry from the noble, legendary leader that we know and love from other iterations, but he starts to grow into it as he devises the rescue mission, and is tasked with rallying his fellow miners to help.

Having gotten a major upgrade since the last time he saw them, Orion now towers over his former peers and they're utterly awed by the sight of him. Rather than trying to take advantage of their admiration or even intimidate them with his new size and strength, Orion almost seems frustrated by the new height difference, and before beginning his speech he kneels down to literally speak to them on their level.

Orion doesn't make a point to do this, no one has to ask or prompt him to, in fact he himself doesn't even give that much thought to it, it's just his first instinct for how to best communicate. He may look larger and stronger now, but he still values the miners as his friends and his equals, and nothing is ever going to change that.

Gaining the Matrix later on may have gotten him the name, but it's this moment when Orion truly begins to embody the true core and heart of Optimus Prime. Powerful and inspiring, yet humble and caring. Or perhaps, as the legendary Peter Cullen himself has always said:

"Strong enough to be gentle."

I can't stop thinking about the fact that Tigress probably totally forgot this happened (maybe seeing Po at the Dragon Warrior ceremony in the first movie jogged her memory…?) and she still has no idea how much that one little smile made Po's day and stuck with him forever.

Just One Glance

Synopsis: Set a few months after the events of the Secrets of the Scroll, and years before the events of the first Kung Fu Panda film, The Furious Five make their official debut as the new protectors of the Valley of Peace. Po, not really knowing who they are but remembers seeing them when they fought Boar together, and having enough memory to carve their action figures out of wood, sees them presented to society for the first time as masters. He is in awe of their skills and awesomeness, but one young Tigress catches his eye. 

If the events of Secrets of the Scroll was about the day Po fell in love with Kung Fu, then this is about the day he started crushing on Tigress.

Based on a short script I wrote a couple years ago (or longer, I can’t remember.) You can feel free to read the script here on FF.net.

I have been wanting to create a comic or animatic for this for a long time to get it out of my head, and I finally had some time to work on it over a weekend (emphasis on 'some'), so it’s not perfect, but enough to get the idea across lol. I can’t do voices, so had to add subtitles, but if anyone is interested in adding a voice over for these characters, let me know lol. 😂 Took some liberties, too, but I hope you KFP/TiPo fans enjoy nonetheless! 🐼 🐯 🍜 

I don't even hate the actual sequel as much as most do, but I would be totally okay ignoring its existence in favour of this one instead.

Since y’all liked my last post, I thought I’d give y’all a summery of this project!

So The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my FAVORITE movie of all time and was also the first movie I ever saw! (I was 2 yo and it was in theatres) I’ve been obsessed ever since.

Well as you all know, there is already a direct to DVD sequel which is……an affront to mankind imo, so I decided at the age of 12 that I would remedy this issue and create my own sequel!

Skip about 17 years later and here we are! My skills have honed enough that I feel comfortable actually working on this!

Story summary: It has been 10 years since the events of the first film, and Quasimodo is still adjusting to his new life. He can go outside whenever he likes and even helps the citizens with woodworking and other things. Phoebus has been working as the place holder judge while he waits for the King to find a proper replacement, and Esmeralda is helping Quasi learn more about her people while also raising two children.

Esmeralda really wants Quasi to leave the cathedral and start a life of his own outside of the place he was hidden for so long, but Quasi is still dealing with trauma and is very hesitant….When suddenly the circus comes to town! Madame Rousseau’s Magnificent Miraculum!

Quasimodo and his friends are excited to see the circus, but things aren’t as wonderful as they seem…

So yeah! I’ll try and keep y’all updated on this comic project :3 I have a good amount of characters designed so stay tuned!!

I'll always remember 2022-2023 as the phase where I became unreasonably obsessed with "funny traumatised southern guy and funny traumatised deadpan lady" ships.
