Starscream is… a great role model???

since I’m studying to become a teacher, we had some extra class about stuff like school safety, what to do in case of earthquake, rockets, terrorists attack etc.

And when we learn what to teach the kids about being what to do if you’re being kidnapped, and I realized something. 

when our teacher said to tell the children to ignore all that they’ve seen their favorite heroes do in tv because that’s really dangerous I realized that tfp Starscream is a perfect role model for what you should do in a situation like that! he got only one thing wrong. 

//and that wasn’t really him. that was a really forced plot convenience as far as I’m concerned.//

I might make a post later detailing exactly how great he was doing, but first I just wanna draw attention to 2 facts:

1. that him acting in the most mature, responsible and safe way is obviously being framed by the show as him being a pathetic coward with no backbone as opposed to the irresponsible, suicidal and borderline insane behavior of our “Heroes”.

2. Agent Fowler. just. WHAT THE HELL. the Autobots are dealing with a familiar enemy whose kind of their size, plus they’re a bravado-filled suicide squad and we have no idea what kind of training (if at all) they had. 

but you??? you are a special agent of the USA,  you were an army ranger behind enemy lines. YOU HAVE TO KNOW BETTER THAN THIS. what are you even doing??? go to the corner and think about what you’ve done!

I’m laughing so hard… 

Like, I remember some post about the last issue where Rodimus was saying something important and his mouth wasn’t even open but… look at this – they’re talking about important plot points and apparently, somebody ate their faces. 

nobody has a face. WHAT. THE. HELL.

Rung, honey, you are:

  • A self-insert character of the writer.
  • Loved by literally everyone. like, EVERYONE (including me but that’s beside the point)
  • has the “brightest spark” on the lost light
  • The key to all of the life problems & their solutions in the Functionalists’ universe.
  • revealed to actually BE GOD. LITERALLY.

you don’t “look like” a mary sue, you are the dictionary definition of one.
