Maverick are entering a world of pain.
Honestly now, how long are we going to have to put up with this? I don't agree with the fact that if other DVD manufacturers are stingy and skimp on extra's for DVD and hardly add a d@mn THING, that its perfectly acceptable for Maverick to do so too!
No way! I live on a farm populated by sheep, consumers don't have to act like sheep too. As far as I can see, that's what Maverick seem's to think we are.
Maverick Boss: "Yeah, everyone else is producing rubbish devoid of any thought onto DVD format, so why don't we do it too"? who cares, its only an old toy line, and these guys that buy it don't care, however we release it, they'll be spooning it down and asking for more, we can't possibly lose! Now pass me my Ivory backscratcher".
Dai, Cliffjumper and Denyer, I'm glad that you're happy with your purchases, that's great and I'm not having a go at anyone here other than DVD producers.
But I refuse to accept this cr@p from companies who so obviously are doing next to nothing, when to produce something of true worth really wouldn't have been at all hard in the first place.
I bet that anyone of us here could have put far better stuff on that DVD than what's on there right now, and it wouldn't have been hard, lets face it.
What's wrong with a little bit of thought? I suppose it costs money yes? and maybe they've seen that the Transformers franchise has been screwed for such a long time now, that what they're doing can't possibly be perceived as anything worse. Why add thought, originality or inventiveness to a fan base that's been devoid of it for so long and probably wouldn't appreciate it anyway?
So go ahead Maverick, and perpetuate the image of Tansformers being braindead pap with nothing to redeem it, and let those outside the Transformers realm continue to look down upon us, its fans as a bunch of freaks who refuse to grow up, with limited intellectual abilities rivalling Neolithic man! I commend your mighty efforts Maverick, when I get big, I want to come and work with you!
For those who've bought and are happy, good for them. I'm excercising my right in NOT buying because of what I believe.
That's my choice. I can't wait to see the ineffectual treatment that the G1 episodes will get when they're transferred to DVD.
Come on, how hard would it have been for say, someone with a spare five minutes over at Maverick to put a question to one of the mods or administrators here asking for feedback as to what would have been cool extra's for the TF:TM movie DVD? Yeah, actually doo-able cool extra's. There could have been a brief mini-forum with suggestions from people who are genuine fans who really care. Can you imagine how cool it would have been then?
I'm not buying anyone's cr@p again! Call me a high-maintenance biyatch if you want, but the way I see it, its bad enough that we frequently have to accept half measures in other aspects of our lives. When it comes to something I genuinely care about, am passionate about, like THIS, then I want care exercised thank you very much.
Maverick know the fans of this movie are people that CARE about it. They know that, and they give us THIS!?!
Spare me this mockery of DVD-ness!
Regards,
A slightly annoyed Windcharger
