I Feel Like I've Been Shot In The Head And Stabbed In My Stomach

I feel like I've been shot in the head and stabbed in my stomach

Gotta love the fact that everybody sees it differently

You might not see Rodimus but I do

( Working on it kinda blind bc my notebook sucks

I either see it in pastel colors or Multiply it atleast 4 times and { set the layers on multiply} and you get a vibrant mess)

It's 7 am My eyes are still sealed shut

And my brain ain't braining

Starscream with High heels ( fucking stilettos)

TF: ONE trailer screenshots that caught my eye bc I'm insane - SPOILERS BELOW CUT

bayverse decepticon logo?? why not use the G1 insignia? Is this one more popular or something?

nice shot. This seems to imply something about the decepticons being some kind of ancient movement/cult/something that has fallen (tf ROTF anyone?)

ALPHA TRION IN MY MODERN TRANSFORMERS? More likely than you think

QUINTESSONS IN MY MODE- ok I'll stop, they're on the EU comics too. These designs look fantastic, so wet and gross, they look amazing against the metallic texture of the transformers.

Airachnid?? where have you been girl? (ALSO, what do beastformers imply in this continuity?)

Hello, LGBT community

This HAS to be Skywarp, pleeeeeease (the wing looks blue here, but in motion it's darker)

There My G they sum it all pretty well ( why I don't like her)

And OK Elita fan I tried to have a decent conversations with Oplita shippers

But I guess you don't get it

And you are right nobody needs to prove me anything ( and I don't even expect that from you or them c:)

+ ik it's G1 but c'mon it's almost the same in every continuity

Look at I know I made a post about how tf "fans" whine about everything

And im one of them too

Anyways block me if you are fan of Oplita Ship ( you are gonna only do me favour)

I really don't get why people ship them. Elita is just a poor excuse of feminism

It's literally the " man write women" shit

I don't think tf 1 needs a romance in it like stop it guys, Do we really need a romance plotting in everything these days?

Before you come after me abt the " you only support mlm ships" get a grip I'm not even fan of MegaOp ship ( if that's what you think I support the most) ( Although I think that in tf 1 it's gonna one of them " They were roommates" scenarios)

Yes, I'm angry and Yes, I'll cry abt it

I'm more than happy to listen to oplita shipers. Idk maybe you guys can change my opinion on Oplita and gaslight me into thinking that it's THE GOAT SHIP

I wish I found this before I blocked that user that dunked on me for hating Elita

This summsed it all

Basically: she is a basic bitch

And it's the same in every continuity

( besides earth spark, she is pretty chill there)

And I also recommend checking the comments

I’m going to voice my opinions on G1 Elita One here for a reader asked me this on ao3 at my fic Heroic Nonsense. I want to keep a record here as well for my future references and maybe find someone with similar ideas. So I still decided to use tags for content classification. Anyone who might feel irritated about me deconstructing this character may leave. But if you resonate with me or are interested in my analysis feel free to discuss.

I guess my view on G1 Elita One is basically negative, both in terms of her characterization and her representation of women.

If we genuinely talk about characterization, I think G1 Elita One is a very one-dimensional and uninteresting character. Because: 1) She doesn’t have a consistent personality or motivation of doing things. Of course you can say that her motivation is to save her boyfriend and lead the “femme bots”, but these don’t look natural, with the lack of a background story. She looks like a puppet squeezed into the show to be the protagonist’s girlfriend.

2) Also about her role. I feel that Hasbro made Elita One a shadow of Optimus Prime, giving her exactly the same position and constantly stressing her importance, when actually she contributes zero to the overall plot development. The “femme bot squad” in the show is an awkward duplicate of the male team, with every femme bot assigned to the male bot at the same position as their girlfriend/love interest(Elita One—Optimus Prime-leader, Chromia— Ironhide-second in command). I do not know the reason why “femme bots” in the play need to fight alone, and I do not know why Elita One is the leader except the fact that she is Optimus’s girlfriend. So what is the play implying by making such a character? Honestly I think this is even worse than having no female characters in the play.

3)Her plot is totally predictable. It’s a classic Hollywood hero-saves-damsel in distress story. From the moment when Alpha Trion asked her to go on a mission on her own (for what? Why? Till today I still think Alpha Trion is doing this simply because he is an avatar of the playwright) I know she will be caught and rescued by Optimus Prime. Such stories are easily guessed and easily forgotten.

If we talk about gender representation, I have to say Elita One hardly represents any pioneering thoughts of feminism or gender equality. To begin with, I want to clarify that feminism/gender equality aims to question and overthrow patriarchy system, which includes breaking the gender stereotypes and challenging fixed gender roles, heteronormative relationships included. Unfortunately Elita One just repeated/ reinforced the stereotypes/ the fixed model of heterosexuality. She is in bright pink, an assigned color to represent females. She is abruptly introduced as Optimus’s girlfriend, without any background information (how they fell in love, why Optimus chose to have a relationship with her in particular, without the biological need to reproduce, what kind of person she is before she met Optimus). It feels like the playwright cannot bear an action hero not being able to “win over” some pretty chicks. She is made/resurrected by Optimus’s parts, which is just like Adam and Eve and confirms her position as “the second sex”. All of her plots are rigid and boring and she lives like a duplicate, or a moon revolving around Optimus. What’s worse, in her very short debut she is still portrayed as “sweet, understanding, and loves her boyfriend so much that she becomes irrational when he is in danger”, the most typical stereotype of a hero’s wife under male gaze.

Judged from my analysis, I think she is basically a functional character. This means she is created to fulfill a purpose in another character’s characterization, rather than existing on her own. In particular, the purpose of her creation is to add a girlfriend to Optimus Prime, so that he fulfills some people’s fantasy of a “normal” male action hero. With this function as the very beginning of her characterization, the playwright will not be able to make her a round character, or give her any believable motivations. Nor does the playwright actually care.

Now that I think about it, this kind of character may work for some people, because they genuinely believe it is necessary for heroes to be paired up with an opposite sex, or like to imagine themselves as “the lucky chosen girl” through this character (this might be harsh). But I just want to say, it doesn’t work for me. In years of reading and using feminist criticism, it has become harder and harder for me not to be picky about characters, or not to be sensitive about gender issues in any show. Repulsion is not the only way I feel about her. She is my least favorite character.

Why tf "fans" whine about everything

My fucking God just cuz it's not bay-verse so it = bad

Dude, people complain that Transformers one is a comedy not realizing that G1 is the goofiest of them all

And so what it's a comedy or some shit
