The Minority Report

Hi. And welcome to my space on the net where I bitch about minority representation on TV and in movies. Nothing personal. There's no chip on the ol' shoulder and I do happen to work in the industry. Just observations. Harmless observations. :)

Transformers (SPOILER INSIDE)

So...the ONLY autobot to die is the black one??!

(okay, so i think more than one of the voice actors who played the transformers were black, BUT, Jazz is the only one who is clearly "black.")

And Jazz dies mostly as a result of his own hubris and arrogance?? And Megatron has no trouble killing him while he can't seem to best the others??!

F!

Also, when we meet Jazz, Optimus Prime tells us that the autobots learned to speak by listening to earth's radio and TV. Interesting then, that all the autobots EXCEPT JAZZ!!! speak like normal people. They sound intelligent. They make smart jokes. EXCEPT JAZZ!!! who sounds like he was ripped from the extras casting pool of Soul Plane.

*sigh*
