@@dnegrete3736 That's the point. The watch was a Transformer that killed him. The point is to show that Transformers have been an integral part of human history.
Fun Fact: The army that King Arthur is fighting is the Anglo-Saxons. In the real world, the Saxons invaded and became the founders of what is now England. England also exists in the Transformers universe. This means that even though King Arthur had a giant alien metal dragon helping him with the war, they still lost.

That's not surprising - as the guys mentioned, all Michael Bay movie leads are losers and Bay hates them all. (Yes, Bay hates the main characters of his own movies, that's why his movies are like that. The best thing he ever made is Pain and Gain because that's the one time where it makes sense to hate the main characters.)
@@KillahMate It honestly kind of fascinates me just how cynical of a director Michael Bay is. Like, there isn't even any reason for this cynicism, it's not like he's trying to make some sort of point. I mean the guy specializes in summer popcorn fair, and yet his cast of characters always seem to be involve a protagonist that he himself hates and doesn't put an ounce of effort into getting the audience to like him, a love interest where every shot makes it clear she's nothing but eye candy and a cast of every annoying stereotype and caricature you can think of. Looking at his earlier work, it makes me appreciate just how charismatic the likes of Nic Cage, Will Smith and Ewan McGregor were that they were able to overcome Bay's cynicism.
IIRC Autobots are the royalists really and the Decepticons are dirty Commies or something like that. The base lore behind Transformers and war for Cybertron, the old school one, is insane
So in the FIRST MOVIE OF THIS FRANCHISE we saw all of the Transformers come to Earth. It was pretty obviously their first time here. These movies are retconning their OWN ESTABLISHED UNIVERSE. I love watching you guys pick them apart, I will watch your videos over and over.
I seen a lot of convulted stories, but Bayformers are in the top spot for sure. We go to unknown planet called Earth...oh wait, out guys were there before. Oh and a decepticon who chilled in museum. Also Megatron : a pity i could not fly to the moon and find this army and continue my deal with Sentinel. Also also Megatron in TLK : i got some unknown before guys, there were just locked. And dont even ask me how and why i changed my look. I guess he did not like name Galvatron.
That's one of the things out of the millions that I disliked from the Bayverse. They practically retconned ALL of the previously established lore to make way for a new cinematic universe (one that will never see the light of day because The Last Knight failed).
@@Endru85x I didn't really know the movies but I saw a video where the guy basically presented Optimus as the bad guy and it makes a lot more sense lol
Somewhat related, but what happened to the Shrek Forever After picture show? It’s not visible on his channel and I haven’t seen any post from Marcus acknowledging its disappearance.
In my version of Age of Extinction. After the Battle of Hong Kong. Optimus travels to the Moon, to get the Ark back online with the Matrix. Plot Twist. Just like Animated, the ship is Omega Supreme. He helps Optimus to travel to far reaches of Space, to find his Creators. Wish that actually happened instead of letting Optimus flying in Space.
I think they mentioned it in the tie-in comics that he saved some alien on his way and that's why his energon dried up because of the extra energy consumption. They could have taken ONE SECOND to mention this in the movie so that optimus wouldn't have looked like an idiot but they didn't.
Anthony Hopkins randomly screaming at the 21:57 is the funniest thing I've seen in my entire life. I feel so related with Marcus just saying 'I don't know' while craying out of laugh
I'm pretty sure the joke was that he was shouting to cover up the sound of him ripping the page out. But like, it's a library lmfao any noise is gonna draw attention. This movie is amazing loool
Funniest thing to me is he does the fake cough at the same time he turns around, so it looks like something jumpscared him so hard he accidentally tore a page off 😂
This movie is so insane that @ 26:00 when they go “it is found” in a weird voice for a fat second I thought it was actually just dialogue from the movie
10:39 These 2 mfers did not just glossed over the fact a normal, midle aged man, THROWING THE SEVERED HEAD OF A GIANT METAL ROBOT LIKE IT WAS MADE OUT OF FOAM. It THUDS when it hits the ground, he just pushes it like its NOTHING
The Last Knight Cemented in my memory and my uncle's that the transformers movies as a whole are the movies you watch to grow back pain, because of how long and tiring that shit was, I actually remember getting tired in the theater the first time I watched, like actual physical lack of strength, I was like 12 or 14 when I watched it
"The military are stupid enough to trust Megatron, the guy that did blow up chicago twice" Marcus always finds the funniest possible way to describe plots, I swear
The funniest thing about this movie is that it was clearly meant to set up more shit (They were genuinely planning on doing a show about the secret history of Transformers on Earth), but within a week or two of its theatrical debut the marketing switched up to imply that this was the last one
We finally made it to the end of the Bayformers :’) Fun fact with the aspect ratio, they used IMAX and regular cameras just because they WANTED TO so it just kept switching cause Bay felt like it!
Bruh like it's kinda annoying when Christopher Nolan does this but at least his movies only change aspect ratios depending on the scene... and not EVERY FUCKING SHOT
I think it’s hilarious how transformers were supposed to be this well kept big secret. Like as far as the world was concerned. The Fallen announcing himself on TV was their big reveal. Yet, transformers were just out fighting in the revolutionary war, and the war of the coalition, and alongside King Arthur. Like, they were posing for pictures. Artists made paintings of them. How did a soldier not go home in the 1700s and go “The war was brutal Mary. By the way, France has a giant metal demon fighting for them”
The thing about them being "canonically" called Transformers in this film and the one before this that makes it infinitely stupider is that they have for THE LONGEST TIME been known in other media and in the fandom as "Cybertronians". It's literally a devolution of already established lore.
32:20 This scene always stuck in my head when I’m watching this movie. A rare and oddly genuine interaction between those two that could go somewhere, but get wasted in this movie
Funny thing about that general guy at 7:29 is that he died in the first movie, but came back as a completely different character in the next film but with a different name this time around.
Honestly, his music is too good for these movies. Like the music is so cool and inspires so much emotion, but the movie does nothing to actually match the emotion implied by the music. So in that way, the soundtrack is great as music, but not so much as a score. Like the music will be grand and emotional. But then the stuff on screen does nothing to reflect that, so it ends up feeling like the music is trying to compensate rather than elevate. This is what i like about rise of the beasts' music. While the compositions aren't as impressive as Jablonsky's per se, they're a lot more apropriate for the emotion the film intends for us to feel.

@@CrowTRobot I felt the same about Rise as I thought it would build on what came before with TLJ but it didn't. Say what you want about TLJ but it had a lot of good stuff in it baked around the dumber stuff.

Transformers 5 plot: "They've been here longer than we've known!!! Also the planet itself is a transformer!!!"
Also those movies... hey we killed Megatron twice, Lockdown is dead tooo. hey you wanna another Megatron comeback, he will have a new skin and bunch of losers who were just locked up!
Funny thing is this wasn't a Transformers movie. It waa originally a movie about an archeologist discovering they were a descendant of Merlinand dealing with the difference between their studies and fantasy being real
I'm a hard-core Transformers fan. Been collecting the figures and following the media since I was 10 back in 2004. That said, I despise these films. It's been a delight rewatching these films and mocking them with you
You despise all of them ? because for me I grew up with the movies I enjoyed 1-4 but 5 not so much but after rewatching the films recently I only like 1 and 3 I think the films could have went in a better direction if they just got new writers and a director to work on the films after 3
@@giovonniiclayton 1 is the one I'm closest to liking, and parts of 3 and 4 are entertaining. The film series overall is embarrassing for me to look back on. The racist/crass humor hasn't aged well and the action (while spectacular) is messy and cluttered. All films in the series have bits of that. What makes me despise the films is the stigma around them. When I meet someone irl and they learn I like Transformers, the movies always come up. When I say I'm a diehard Transformers fan, I'm saying I like multiple series about cool robots with goofy names having a political conflict with equal parts cosmic horror themes or looney tune esqe humor or genuinely touching character moments. But in general, the public just associates Transformers with low-brow humor, hard to follow action, and shoddy filmmaking. I like some of the edgy film designs and the music by Steve Jablonsky always slaps, but the rest just makes me cringe.
@@606Xentrax606honestly, I 100% agree. I grew up watching the movies as a kid, and I will admit they do have nice action sequences, music, etc., but there’s so much against them that I just don’t really care for the Bayverse as a whole. Hell, I infinitely prefer the reboot timeline with BB and ROTB, like at least they got rid of most of what made the Bayverse intolerable
22:20 as someone who lives in London I find it so funny to this day when they cut from a shot clearly done near the Bank of England to a road in the USA (I think it is Chicago) as our roads are too narrow to do a side by side of two cars... It's nearly as funny as The Flash using lots of London roads, a Uni building near mine and even a darts place I went to on a date as the pub when they see Zod's broadcast as all in the USA
When optimus said "what has happened to my world?" He was referring to why the planet has vegetation, separated into pieces connected with cables, and the fact that it's significantly smaller than it was in dark of the moon. Cybertron never looked like that in the previous movies. So, Optimus actually asked a valid question
That is because, when the Space Bridge was destroyed in Dark of the Moon. Half of Cybertron was able to survived the black hole, that sucked half of the Planet. Quintessa destroyed like half of any Planet that’s close to Cybertron. Some of them were organic, that mix with what’s left of Cybertron.
The sheer level of how entirely fucking obliterated our planet would be is so funny that it gets brushed over. Like we have a planet attached to ours? Gravity, fucked, atmosphere likely getting pulled out into space, tides. Humanity is gone in like a decade tops.
I’ve heard that the Bumblebee movie was originally supposed to be about Bumblebee fighting the Nazis in WW2 but after the Last Knight bombed Bumblebee was reworked into the fun coming of age film we got and also left room to be a jumping off point for a possible reboot, which makes sense considering how much the new movies don’t make sense as canon to the bayverse.
are they even meant to be canon to the michael bay ones at all? like even if it’s not outright confirmed or clarified they seem completely standalone and a reboot right (as someone who has a very casual awarenes of these movies)
@@demon-goat Yeah I had that question as well and it bothered me. I had to ask some friends who were more knowledgeable. But indeed they are not canon despite what some publications might say. From what I’ve gathered Bumblebee was originally suppose to be canon to the bayverse but as time went on it went in its own direction. At this point with how much Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts has deviated from the bay canon I don’t think it can be considered the same universe (unless of course they do some major retcons). I mean all the autobots look completely different and more closely resemble the original Gen 1 designs
The energy of Marcus just trying to melt into a puddleof goo, and Dan's opening monolog to this video really cements this series as being one of the best in my heart.
The reason Anthony Hopkins yelled in the library was to cover up the sound of him tearing out that page in the book for himself. But if you miss that I can see how watching that would break anyone and it broke me thinking about it out of context 😂😂😂
@@AngelReyes-lc4mw first movie has its problems, but yes, I like(d) it too. You held out longer than I did, I was burnt out on Bayformers by the third movie (or maybe that's when I went from denial into anger) so I salute _you_ for that.

@@CrowTRobot I felt the same about Rise as I thought it would build on what came before with TLJ but it didn't. Say what you want about TLJ but it had a lot of good stuff in it baked around the dumber stuff.
Marcus breaking at 28:15 is truly amazing
Hearing you scream “Sam Witwicky!” In such a panicked voice absolutely sent me
the craziest part is that it’s not just two aspect ratios. it’s like 5 different ones.
29:45 watching Anthony Hopkins being thrown in the air like a rag doll is sending me
Bumblebee and Rise Of The Beasts are such a refresher after having to witness the majority of Bayformers post the first two.
What the third one was peak, the most recent two have been mid
@@zacharymessner6157 Cope
@@zacharymessner6157 yeah, I like the 3rd one too.
Is the implication that bumblebee helped kill hitler, then left earth and then came back for the first movie? Somehow that makes no sense
These movies make a good job at contradicting themselves.
Transformers 1 plot: "They've been here longer than we've known!!!"
Transformers 2 plot: "They've been here longer than we've known!!!"
Transformers 3 plot: "They've been here longer than we've known!!!"
Transformers 4 plot: "They've been here longer than we've known!!!"
Transformers 5 plot: "They've been here longer than we've known!!! Also the planet itself is a transformer!!!"
Also those movies... hey we killed Megatron twice, Lockdown is dead tooo. hey you wanna another Megatron comeback, he will have a new skin and bunch of losers who were just locked up!
Wanna just say how much I’ve loved this series, seeing Marcus and Dan slowly descent into Transformers themselves is so fun
I'll miss this series man
@@phoenixyoutube2706 they still have Bumblebee (2018) and Rise Of The Beasts (2023) to do so we at least got two more
That guttural scream from Marcus when Anthony Hopkins dies was the most horrified scream I’ve ever heard lmao
Fun fact: in the last movie when Optimus prime was revived you can hear him say “Sam run” implying that Sam died during an Autobot ambush.
marcus’ scream of agony while anthony hopkins gets fucking exploded is so good
You can see the plastic ring on the bottle when he takes a swig lmao 2:00
„Anthony Hopkins telling Mark Wahlberg that Bumblebee helped killing Hitler and commited war crimes“ was not on my bingo card
21:12 “Sam is in an fing hole somewhere” has got to be one of the most unintentionally funny things ever said
Funny thing is this wasn't a Transformers movie. It waa originally a movie about an archeologist discovering they were a descendant of Merlinand dealing with the difference between their studies and fantasy being real
Are you serious or you joking?😂
@@jarrodeaston6373 absolutely serious. It was a script lying around that they repurposed
@@Kekkersboy HUH
Source?
@@Kekkersboy Oh my God. That's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't believe they actually did that.
It would've been pretty funny if Bay had kept casting Stanley Tucci in different roles with each Transformers movie.
Damn it, Marcus. Nitro Zeus is a treasure.
THE GUARDIAN KNIGHTS ARE GOING TO KILL ME :(
AUTOBOTS. I'M GOING TO DIE 🗿
Gonna watch this on loop before it gets taken down
The aspect ratio change is like the citizen Kane parrot. It just shocks you back into the movie.
17:21 Marcus’ British accent was on point
Cosmonaut Picture Show is definitely one of my top 5 series on RUclips, you two are such a good duo. The racecar bed joke was so good
I'm a hard-core Transformers fan. Been collecting the figures and following the media since I was 10 back in 2004.
That said, I despise these films. It's been a delight rewatching these films and mocking them with you
You despise all of them ? because for me I grew up with the movies I enjoyed 1-4 but 5 not so much but after rewatching the films recently I only like 1 and 3 I think the films could have went in a better direction if they just got new writers and a director to work on the films after 3
I mean yeah 4 and 5 and 2 are bad but 1 and 3 are pretty good.
@@giovonniiclayton 1 is the one I'm closest to liking, and parts of 3 and 4 are entertaining. The film series overall is embarrassing for me to look back on. The racist/crass humor hasn't aged well and the action (while spectacular) is messy and cluttered. All films in the series have bits of that.
What makes me despise the films is the stigma around them. When I meet someone irl and they learn I like Transformers, the movies always come up. When I say I'm a diehard Transformers fan, I'm saying I like multiple series about cool robots with goofy names having a political conflict with equal parts cosmic horror themes or looney tune esqe humor or genuinely touching character moments. But in general, the public just associates Transformers with low-brow humor, hard to follow action, and shoddy filmmaking. I like some of the edgy film designs and the music by Steve Jablonsky always slaps, but the rest just makes me cringe.
1 and 3 are great imo, and Rise of the beasts was so bland, it actually made me go back to rewatch TLK, and i kinda appreciated it.
@@606Xentrax606honestly, I 100% agree. I grew up watching the movies as a kid, and I will admit they do have nice action sequences, music, etc., but there’s so much against them that I just don’t really care for the Bayverse as a whole. Hell, I infinitely prefer the reboot timeline with BB and ROTB, like at least they got rid of most of what made the Bayverse intolerable
I dont care if i miss the eclipse, i have a Cosmonaut Picture Show!
Bumblebee in WW2 has to be up there as one of the most ridicous Bayformer moments.
Imagine CoD game telling a story of Allied forces winning with help of Bumblebee.
18:41 that blink and you miss it shot of Stephen Hawking is so funny to me, is the implication that he was a transformer too?
It gets even funnier if you assume the Transformer was just his wheelchair.
It is time.
And I've come
Seeing Marcus trying not to laugh at 0:38 instantly let me know this was going to be a great video
22:20 as someone who lives in London I find it so funny to this day when they cut from a shot clearly done near the Bank of England to a road in the USA (I think it is Chicago) as our roads are too narrow to do a side by side of two cars... It's nearly as funny as The Flash using lots of London roads, a Uni building near mine and even a darts place I went to on a date as the pub when they see Zod's broadcast as all in the USA
When optimus said "what has happened to my world?" He was referring to why the planet has vegetation, separated into pieces connected with cables, and the fact that it's significantly smaller than it was in dark of the moon. Cybertron never looked like that in the previous movies. So, Optimus actually asked a valid question
That is because, when the Space Bridge was destroyed in Dark of the Moon. Half of Cybertron was able to survived the black hole, that sucked half of the Planet. Quintessa destroyed like half of any Planet that’s close to Cybertron. Some of them were organic, that mix with what’s left of Cybertron.
"A weapon to Surpass metal gear...Bumble bee" like c'mon, that shit in the beggining is straight up just a metal gear, I am not insane
"Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaakkkkkeeeeeeee!"
The sheer level of how entirely fucking obliterated our planet would be is so funny that it gets brushed over. Like we have a planet attached to ours? Gravity, fucked, atmosphere likely getting pulled out into space, tides. Humanity is gone in like a decade tops.
8:42 in the previous movies they called them Cybertronians but didn’t here. Shows you how much the writers cared this time
That Michael Bay-ass shot at 12:41 is def evoking twin tower energy
I’ve heard that the Bumblebee movie was originally supposed to be about Bumblebee fighting the Nazis in WW2 but after the Last Knight bombed Bumblebee was reworked into the fun coming of age film we got and also left room to be a jumping off point for a possible reboot, which makes sense considering how much the new movies don’t make sense as canon to the bayverse.
are they even meant to be canon to the michael bay ones at all? like even if it’s not outright confirmed or clarified they seem completely standalone and a reboot right (as someone who has a very casual awarenes of these movies)
@@demon-goatAs of rn, they are all not canon to the Bay films.
@@JoshMartin123 thank god, wikipedia says otherwise and that bothered me greatly lol
@@demon-goatThe main producer of the series said they are canon, which is why there is so much confusion.
@@demon-goat Yeah I had that question as well and it bothered me. I had to ask some friends who were more knowledgeable. But indeed they are not canon despite what some publications might say. From what I’ve gathered Bumblebee was originally suppose to be canon to the bayverse but as time went on it went in its own direction. At this point with how much Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts has deviated from the bay canon I don’t think it can be considered the same universe (unless of course they do some major retcons). I mean all the autobots look completely different and more closely resemble the original Gen 1 designs
The energy of Marcus just trying to melt into a puddleof goo, and Dan's opening monolog to this video really cements this series as being one of the best in my heart.
“It’s really hard to relax in a race car bed” is a bar
“Vroomvrimites” was so under appreciated smh
as someone who constantly comes back to these transformers picture shows……. THANK YOU🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
29:47 Marcus I need you to scream “GRIFFITHHHH!”
Marketed the whole movie around evil Optimus.
Evil Optimus proceeds to only show up for the endgame and he's evil for five minutes
The reason Anthony Hopkins yelled in the library was to cover up the sound of him tearing out that page in the book for himself.
But if you miss that I can see how watching that would break anyone and it broke me thinking about it out of context 😂😂😂
The only movie ever to make me leave the theater. I salute to you two.
what part made you leave?
Considering the first four Bayformers movies, I'm wondering what madness drove you to see the fifth one in a theater in the first place.
“That’s the watch that killed Hitler”
@@puffd4nny I love that first movie. It ain’t that bad. But this movie had everything wrong with it. Once unicron was introduced, I left.
@@AngelReyes-lc4mw first movie has its problems, but yes, I like(d) it too. You held out longer than I did, I was burnt out on Bayformers by the third movie (or maybe that's when I went from denial into anger) so I salute _you_ for that.
That intro bit is so good dude.
Dan is so fucking funny man
"So long, gay Bowser!" killed me. I am now dead.
Bumblebee is the reason for the Geneva Convention.
This is my new headcanon.
Lol the way hopkins turns around right before he's killed
It's like they told him "hey catering is this way"
I still think this will be the most insane movie that Anthony Hopkins was ever involved in, WHICH SAYS A LOT
Them killing off the last main character without even explaining how is absolutely wild lol
I just want y'all to know this saga of movie commentary videos is one of the best things on RUclips.
I honestly can’t believe this fever dream was allowed to be produced, shot, directed, acted in, and released to theaters and beyond.
I am so glad this is The End of Bayvangelion.
