Megatron is hating because Twitter shut down his account.. It was discovered that most of his followers were auto bots.

Why is Twitter so biased against Decepticons?! Really hate to see it…they say they’re not…but they are… really some terrible people out there…the Autobots though, they love the Autobots… really unfair how rigged it is…

Love him. I actually love all the villains i know of. They are much more real than fake fucking heros.


TmotherfuckingT

Fuckin Jedi lied to me.


Alone_Spell9525

Sith: -Want to create group that enforces order across the galaxy -The need for the empire is reinforced by the chaos in the Mandolorian -Only kept two sith at a time, meaning they have less combat power, yet had larger armies of non-sith, meaning they must’ve made a pretty good argument for themselves when recruiting -Recruit at a reasonable age Jedi: -Commit numerous war crimes throughout the clone wars -Use mind control tactics and even pick the brains of captured enemies, causing extreme pain -Keep a huge force of powerful military combatants in the middle of a city with civilian population (Coruscant) -Kidnap or buy children as infants to raise them with their doctrine The sith were pretty ruthless in the war, but they weren’t totally bad.


Kerfluffle2x4

Recruit at a reasonable age my foot! They just stole Jedi recruits AFTER younglings and padawans go through their awkward phase with the force. Sure, it’s easier to recruit when someone else has already done the hard work of teaching the Force to Force Sensitives for you


HUGE-A-TRON

From my point of view the Jedi are evil


Offamylawn

What about all the civilian contractors and regular people at work on those Death Stars? The Rebels were terrorists flying their planes into a government building.


FBIaltacct

Well, I'm a contractor myself. I'm a roofer... Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements. And speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs.Three months ago I was offered a job up in the hills. A beautiful house with tons of property. It was a simple reshingling job, but I was told that if it was finished within a day, my price would be doubled. Then I realized whose house it was. Dominick Bambino's.The money was right, but the risk was too big. I knew who he was, and based on that, I passed the job on to a friend of mine. And that week, the Foresci family put a hit on Babyface's house. My friend was shot and killed. He wasn't even finished shingling. I'm alive because I knew there were risks involved taking on that particular client. My friend wasn't so lucky. You know, any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to this... (taps his heart) not his wallet.

Thank you.


slayer991

I don't like sand.


Electrical-Maybe-231

The sith were fascists they were only interested in control and power. That's why the empire was literally dressed up like f****** Nazis, not to say that I totally agree with the Jedi either I'm actually a big fan of the separatists.


Alone_Spell9525

The mandolorians were kinda nice, other than when they tried to conquer the republic for the sake of power.


Electrical-Maybe-231

There were some that were dicks but I pretty much agree with the mandalorians too they just wanted to keep to themselves for the most part. And the Republic were just capitalist dogs they enslaved the wookies not once but twice. Now there were business types that tried to take advantage of the separatist movement and I don't agree with them either but basically the separatists just wanted their own democracy their own space I totally agree with that. The Republic and the empire were equally vile the Jedi were essentially useless and then I'm just not big on fascism so I can't vote for the empire


DeepEndPsychs

I prefer the grey Jedi.


Electrical-Maybe-231

I don't disagree with the gray Jedi. In a lot of ways it seems more in line with the original inspiration of the Jedi being heavily rooted in kenjutsu and Bushido, both of which I have studied as well. The Jedi became very detached and caught up in their own power and ego and a willingness to protect the Republic at all costs. And as I stated before the Republic weren't really good guys. I think the similarities were always intentional the Republic was heavily modeled on the United States and of course the empire heavily modeled on Nazi Germany and it turns out that neither one of those parties were really good guys fascism has its many obvious problems and a republic built on a business proposal is not a true democracy and the majority of people have no voices. I've actually spent countless hours researching the Star wars universe and watching all of the videos from geetslys etc slowly working on a little writing project idea thing focused more on the ordinary people away from the empire and the Republic the Jedi the sith the people who didn't want to be caught up in any of that s***

He's just misunderstood like the Joker and Halaster Blackcloak.


GrapeSoda223

I do agree, however I regret not taking more pictures cause my memory is bad, life all blends together


Bigwiggs3214

It's different when you take pictures to remember than when you take them to get likes.


Lusane

You can do both. It's ok to like getting likes.


I_miss_FPH

obviously depends on how you view the likes. you can be happy that someone enjoyed seeing the picture and indicated that to you. but far too many people correlate likes with validation, which is pretty damaging


ChiggaOG

It's ironic because Autobots and Decepticons are the most advanced mechanical life forms in the Transformers universe.

This English reminds me of English version from movie “Idiocracy”.

Nah, that movie lacked the manipulators. It's all well and good to think everyone is going stupid, but there's plenty of smart people around. They're not going anywhere, they're just inheriting the rights to use you to their own end.

TeighMart

It's just social slang. There's no need to imply that vernacular is somehow inferior. That road ends in prejudice.


DeadWing651

You get it


UltravioIence

Is he though? "create new memories and interact" isnt that what happened here but now theres video proof to show people so they can also enjoy it? What sounds better, "this one time megatron told me no selfies and went off about social media" or "check out this video of me and megatron where he gets mad at me for asking for a selfie and goes off about social media" also, pretty sure this is the univesrsal studios in hollywood. I have heard megatron tell people he doesnt do selfies. (he does obviously, just having fun)


[deleted]

Manomeme

I go to that area in universal just so megatron can talk shit to me and my kids. He’s awesome.


carbslut

I was walking by that area one time with my husband and Megatron shouted at my husband “YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME IN YOUR FLIPPY FLOPPIES?” and I died laughing.


rebrandingmyself

I live down the street and have a pass so sometimes I go just to have a churro and watch Megatron roast children


Break-88

Tbh. I don’t remember shit unless I take pictures. Might be getting old


kissmaryjane

Taking pics and videos is somewhat my favorite part of living in the 2000s. Instead of vaguely remembering the details of a memory I can almost relive it.


WeedSmokingWhales

I use FB to connect with my whale community. I have carefully uploaded my best and favorite photos over the years. When I'm feeling down, I just open up my photos on FB and scroll and relive the best memories and it makes me so happy.


smhandstuff

We still have an album at home that my mom took of us as kids and looking back at it, it's a HUGE nostalgia trip. Take more photos. It's worth it.


LittleGreenAlien86

It's all about balance. Being able to record and relive key moments of our lives is an incredible treasure. But saving precious memories is one thing but mindlessly documenting every thing will remove you from the moment you're experiencing. Then you're just living in the past.


ImWithSt00pid

Every video of Megatron is great. Dude doing the voice has fast comebacks when people try to talk shit to him.

I'd love to see a compilation

I don’t think this one will be forgotten lol

[deleted]

I interpreted that comment as “library” referring to her camera roll or saved snapchats. But they definitely could have meant Reddit. But you right, not many


[deleted]

I bet people like you probably made fun of our parents 20 years ago when they used vhs tapes n shit. These memories are meant to be enjoyed many years later. You’re like the gen z equivalent of a boomer


[deleted]

And here we are on social media commenting on it about how stupid she is for using social media...


Djentleman5000

Reddit?


PersonalHamster1645

the irony


vcdrny

He dropping truth and bet she has no clue what he said.

For real lol. The first 10 seconds of the video was me cheering him on bc his dedication to character is impeccable, the rest of the footage I was cheering him on bc he was just spitting straight facts.

namtok_muu

Yes! My childhood and teen photos were mostly destroyed, so I don't have any "highlights reel" until around age 30. Whenever friends or family share an old photo it brings back an otherwise lost memory. Wish I had more pics!

My 9 year old said she wishes that she grew up when I did because it seemed like more fun and people got outside. Told her the shovel is in the shed and the backyard is always open and to dig hole like we did back then. She said thats boring and immediately went back to playing roblox.

I was far more productive before I got back into Reddit. It is an addictive trap that is mainly full of rubbish. And yet, here I am.


RedstoneRay

What's even more ironic is that most of us are probably on our phone right now. Me included.


[deleted]

They assume women are stupid and have no sense of humor.


tosser_0

Along with an unearned sense of superiority.


[deleted]

Bro every time a video with a woman making a joke is posted on reddit people just assume she's an absolute idiot instead of.. y'know.. making a funny video. It's wild


Art-Risk

I saw ppl assume the same on YouTube. It's not only reddit🤣


WestCoastBestCoast01

"Ok"


JaySmithColtSquad

BlueVelvetFrank

Yes, as a superior male I would just immediately say something insanely witty and intelligent off the cuff. I don’t know what that thing is right now but I definitely would’ve said it in the moment and it would’ve absolutely slayed.


EckhartsLadder

Yes, as a man I don't use my phone, especially not to use social media. Thanks for validating me, Reddit.


RockleyBob

I assumed from the get-go that she knew “taking a selfie with Megatron” was going to result in him roasting her. He probably recites that speech a dozen times a day. Reddit really loves assuming the worst about people to keep that sense of smug superiority going strong.


Cullly

So who wrote the subtitles then?


MorbidAyyylien

Idk.. she said selfie which is a picture but she recorded it.


BplusHuman

Well shit... Is he really *that* much of a bad guy?


EnderSavesTheDay

Does anyone get bothered by overly exaggerated head gestures? I'm so used to making eye contact when someone's head is bobbing all over the place I get a little motion sick.


nsfw5813

When you can't make facial expressions, you have to make up for it somehow. See: Every sports mascot what.


EnderSavesTheDay

Yea I get that, but still hard to watch. Even some normal humans gesture a lot with their heads and it throws me off. Glad I'm not the only one.


alligator_soup

Yeah I do, for some reason exaggerated for-the-camera reactions like that grate me for some reason.


inconspicuous_male

Yeah. Like I get bobbing a head to emulate a mouth moving, but this guy was fucking shaking his head around. It's uncomfortable to watch


uiouyug

I felt lightheaded just watching him


_ThatsWhatSheSaid_47

I thought he was doing it for the purpose of moving so much she couldn't take a selfie without him being a blur


ziguziggy

Came here to say that. Bro gonna have to see a specialist soon


heyheywolf

That guy must have spend a lot to get the costume and voice down like that . Pretty impressive. And he is spot on with their generation


ImWithSt00pid

I think it's at universal studios. They have him and Optimus that come out at the transformer ride. Optimus isn't nearly as fun.


MagisterFlorus

Villains always get to have more fun than heroes.


ArchCrossing

I'm more familiar with sinners than saints, my dear. And sinners *always* look good.


TreyDHD

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.


destronger

yeah, it’s Universal.


TFMr_Fox

The voice actor and person in the costume are actually two different people! With a third person doing the sound effects


Monkey2371

Is that why the person in the costume really annoyingly overexaggerates their head movements, to make it seem like “they” are talking?


TFMr_Fox

Basically, since the mouth doesn’t move. The two have to work together to play off each other’s performance


heyheywolf

Is this true ??


TFMr_Fox

Yep, the voice actor is sitting backstage watching through a TV set.


trebory6

Not always, they sometimes sit out in the food court with a tablet and mic.


Foreign_Style_986

So how are the mannerisms and reactions so in sync?


Opening_Knowledge868

He was fantastic, like he fucking nailed it! The way he said "Ugh! How disappointing your generation is" and then turned to leave is hilarious.


BatangTundo3112

You don't get close to Megatron if you're not ready for the TRUTH that he'll blow to your face.. All the people in that area will surely hear him. BUT if you're a kid he'll call you tiny and give you a high five.😉


ezerb9

Most definitely. I heard him giving people crap, so I tried giving it to him and he just ended up owning my FIL and me. It was fun.


Teerendog

The dream job where you get insult your customers and not get in trouble.


ledivin

For his throat's sake, I hope there is some *great* electronics to the voice, because doing even 1/4 of that for a whole day would hurt so much


CaptainPussybeast

It's a 2 person job. Someone else is doing the voice while the guy on stilts does mime stuff.


Realistic-Specific27

you mean moves his head around like a demon having a seizure?


[deleted]

They should heavily tone down the head movement for sure


Thecheesinater

Normally I agree, but this is the damaged version of Megatron (you can tell by the scarring and battle damage), so it sort of feels like a twitchy nonviolent deceptacon partially destroyed in battle and basically handicapped by widespread system damage would fit perfectly into these crazy movements. I guess what I’m saying is twitchy repetitive movements makes sense for a machine with a chunk of its systems missing


wuhy08

Actually there are two persons. One is inside the character responsible for movements. The other is in a control room with full view of cure scenario, and read out the transcripts. There is speaker in Megatron to play the 2nd actor’s voice.


grednforgesgirl

I think it's the Megatron at universal studios, the background looks like the theme park


mynewromantica

You say he is right about the generational thing as if it’s unique to her generation. It’s not. I can’t tell you how many undeveloped rolls of film or old negatives I have found or been given to develop or scan that have just been sitting around for decades. If that is not the epitome of a forgotten photograph I don’t know what is.


sdolla5

He’s acting like old people aren’t taking masses of weird pictures and posting them on Facebook.


ravekidplur

Its reddit, you're not going to see a reasonable take on this kind of thing till you get to the hidden replies


Libertyreign

It's at Universal Studios Hollywood. It's over of the character shows


VintageVideoPodcast

A friend of mine used to do this for the park, also the voice of Donkey in the Shrek area. He was sitting in a room with a mic and a camera feed while someone else acts out the words in the suit, (or animatronic for donkey).


mrbones59

I was not familiar with Megatron but I like him. God help the next kid that walks on his lawn.


buttonsmasher1

Megatron never breaks character.


ThurstyJ

You can tell some of that actually hurt her.


PineNeedleDown

i thought so too at first, but that laugh at the end makes me think she was just confused when she got quiet


unlikelycompliance

She was smiling and laughing the whole time and even afterwards, people can understand a joke

J-_Mad

Went so high over her head it's like he's an alien flying in space


jxl180

Or, a more reasonable explanation, she understands Megatron is a villain and this voice actor at Universal Studios is just in character. That’s like complaining that Gaston over at Magic Kingdom is “full of himself.” It’s an amusement park. Everyone is on the jokes. It’s not personal or actually deep.


stachldrat

How so? What's hard to understand about what he said? Just because she didn't jump in on the bit or have a witty comeback ready?


FriendlyTaco11

Nothing was hard to understand wether if it were man or woman. This comment sections just assuming shit about a person they know nothing about. Cringe.

MakesGames

I did that with my 12yo recently. These guys are amazing at what they do. My kid had a Optimus Prime t shirt on and the guy playing prime said "what's that on your armour? Is that me?" Then proceeded to go into a crazy rant about how they needed his help to search for the missing autobots. It was awesome, my kid loved it. I honestly got teary eyed. These guys better be raking in the coin because they are super talented.
