Re: The Narrative & Dialog of Transformers Prime
Honestly, my only real beef (if you wanna call it that) with the show is how problems often seem to come & then go away for each episode, and how the "bigger picture" stuff doesn't seem to weigh in very much (if ever). I generally like these in tv shows & movies because I see them as a series (rather than just an episode), and from what I've read, this is one of the pretty popular points of criticism.
Although again, considering the audience this is aimed & (as well that it's a kid' show in 2012), I think the series has done a great job within what it can do. Maybe not Mainframe/Rainmaker level, but still great by comparison to most. There are tonnes of things done with the show to appeal to an older audience, and even if you ignore the silly Bantor jokes, there's still a good amount of influence from past series, and it really does leave me wanting to see the next episode & buy the toys.
Is it better than Reboot/Beast Wars/Beast Machines or Shadow Raiders? I don't think so. However, for me to say that it sucks because of that wouldn't be fair, and the same goes for comparing the story telling to a show like The Walking Dead or even Gargoyles because they're a totally different pot in themselves.
