As an aside, does anyone watch/watched Transformers Prime? Is it watchable?
I really, really wanted to watch it but never had the time. On a recent long weekend, I was sitting around the house bored and saw that a marathon was airing! Grabbed some drinks and snacks and curled up on the couch. 45 minutes later I gave up and went grocery shopping simply because I had nothing better to do. It's not Bayformers or even Beast Machines bad, but I have no desire to watch it ever again. Maybe I should give it more than an episode and a half, but I really wasn't able to continue. It just felt mind-numbing.
Frame of reference, so you know whether to agree with me or ignore me:
Original Transformers comics I've read = awesome
Original Transforers cartoon = awesome
Transformers the Movie = fuckin awesome!
Season 3 = pretty awesome in it's own way
Original GI Joe (Real American Hero) comics = not as good as Transformers comics
Original GI Joe cartoon = pretty awesome in it's own way
GI Joe the Movie = intro is epic, movie is very flawed but I can appreciate it
Beast Wars = awesome
Beast Machines = terrible
Transformers Armada/Energon/Cybertron = boring and worthless
Transformers Animated = pretty great in it's own way
GI Joe Resolute = pretty great, but seriously fails to capture the spirit of GI Joe
Bayformers movies = crime against humanity
Modern GI Joe movie = terrible
Transformers Prime = boring and worthless
GI Joe Renegades = after about a dozen episodes, I'd say it's solidly "good"
My Little Pony FIM = awesome
Of course, there is no substitute for just trying an episode for yourself.
