I am 100% certain that if I showed the same amount of eager love to Megatron, Optimus, Soundwave or any other of the more “”acceptable”” characters, I’d just be called a “big fan” and not a “obsessed freak”.
He’s not a one dimensional villain, the fandom just likes thinking he is. I literally have a whole tag where I point out all these aspects of him that AREN’T one dimensional.
Do you go around and tell people to stop obsessing over Soundwave? Megatron? Starscream? Because they were just as “”””one dimensional”””” as Galvatron if you’re really gonna pull that load of shit.
He literally deserves so much more than he gets in this hypocritical fandom and if I have to be the one lone person trying to get everyone to notice all the canon aspects of him that get ignored then so fucking be it.
Every other character can get love and it’s not “fucking creepy” when they do. You just proved my point that I need to love him MORE because of asshats like you who clearly don’t know much about him.
Right so I was looking up the “official” sizes for characters to try and make a stable/set height for Beast Wars Cyclonus and Galvatron, instead I found the heights for the 2001 ‘Robots in Disguise’ show.
When you’re arguing with someone that Galvatron isn’t the 2D “Rar I angry/violent” caricature he often gets made out to be and then they throw out
“The brain damage is why he’s portrayed as crazy in the first place.”
While most of them are grumpy as they were spurred on by aggression/’salt’ I think I’m going to tag all of my observations about Galvatrons character with “Galvastudy” so they can be used as advice for anyone who wants to write Galvatron.
And y’know.
Portray him closer to canon rather than the “fandumb version” people seem to have accepted as canon when it’s not.
Okay, so in the movie Unicron literally did that flashy-torture thing if Galvatron so much as talked back at him (the moon scene) and even tortured him for falling for a trick.
Yet he did not torture him when Galvatron vocally declared that instead of destroying the Matrix he was going to use it against Unicron.
I didn’t think much of the ‘why’ of that happening until I had a realisation… A terrible one.
He let Galvatron come to him, knowing full well that he could not open or use the Matrix against him.
“For a time… I considered sparing your wretched little planet Cybertron…”
Considering he already ate one of it’s moons and tortured Galvatron for being upset about that and the “CONSIDERED” part of that quote it’s pretty likely that Unicron NEVER intended to spare Cybertron AT ALL.
Yet he waited until his abused and tortured puppet tried to cut his strings and be free to attack.
He waited to do it in front of Galvatron, he waited to do it until after Galvatron failed to free himself and defeat him.
HE DELIBERATELY DID IT IN FRONT OF GALVATRON TO “BLAME” HIM. TO LAYER THE GUILT OF IT ON HIM.
AS IF UNICRON WAS TELLING GALVATRON “LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO”
I never noticed or realised it before but goddamn…
I hate it when out of nowhere your shoulder decides it’s going to throw a fit and become ache-y/sore despite not having done anything out of the ordinary.
Needs more Galvatron
