Re: Finally watched Bumblebee
I actually appreciated the battles in TF: Bumblebee. Bee was never the toughest, baddest Autobot in Transformers lore; he's primarily a scout. It makes sense to portray him as an underdog when he's forced to go solo against ruthless Decepticon warriors like Blitzwing, and later Shatter and Dropkick. Going toe-to-toe, he's clearly outmatched, but he's shown to be smart, scrappy and resourceful, taking advantage of the environment and his opponents' missteps to overcome them. I like this version of Bumblebee far more than the badass killer he is in the previous Bay movies.
