Michael Bay: Destroying our childhoods? – Part 2

I love movies. I especially love movies with a lot of action, a lot of explosions, and in your face gunfire. Michael Bay brings that to every single one of his movies. In fact, he is one of my favorite directors of all time. So when I think of him destroying our childhoods, I examine the idea very closely.

I, personally, was never a fan of the original Transformers toys or animation series, although I have nothing against it. I realize there are a lot of people out there that had a love affair with the shows and I respect their right to that. I don’t, however, think Michael Bay destroyed our childhoods by taking the series and making it into a killer action flick.

The goal was to reinvent the series and bring new ideas to the table. The goal wasn’t to take something many people loved and destroy it as a franchise. Sure, there are going to be people that aren’t satisfied with the film, as with all film adaptations of animations and comic book series’. But they did their best to stay true to the original stories while adding where they felt it lacked entertainment value, or just simply improving on the original ideas.

I was anything but dissatisfied with the Transformers movie. And I am eager to see the next installment in the series. No one is trying to destroy your childhoods or take away the things you cherish most. As a filmmaker Michael Bay brings his version, his vision, and his ideas to the big screen. Bay holds a deep respect for the original creators and the big time fans of the Transformers series. He in no way wishes to take away from their passion for such an intelligently crafted series.

If you feel that Michael Bay has ruined your childhood or done damage to the Transformers name, then you should take another look at yourself, and realize what he has done for the series. Transformers has become one of the highest grossing films of all time, due solely to Bay’s ability to tactfully bring the idea to the big screen. Adapting to youth culture and the era we live in, Michael Bay changed it to fit the times. There was never any intention to insult your favored version of the story. You are welcome to that.

Simply put, No, Michael Bay is not destroying our childhoods. He understands and respects how you feel along with the others involved in bringing the series to screen. Sure, he may have changed a few things. But what makes it so bad? How has his version negatively affected your childhood? It hasn’t. In fact, there is no way it could have. Those memories you have and the love you share for Transformers is still there, and Michael Bay nor anyone else can do anything to change that.
