>>212375370 (OP)How did Bay turn a toy commercial into such a quintessentially American classic?
>>212375418He's unironically one of the few Directors anymore who gives a shit about framing in a shot. He's also almost supernaturally talented in that regard which a lot of his critics completely gloss-over because they don't like the juvenile tone of most of his projects.
I used to hate Bayformers because it wasn't in the typical spirit of TF, but over time I've come to appreciate the vanity and spectacle of the whole thing. Bay just does whatever the hell he thinks looks cool and you're going to be cheering in the theater when Optimus commits war crimes.
