Starwars vs. Transformers - Blog 8

I had a few ideas, but I wasn't completely sure what movie was the best fit for our generation; however after giving it some thought, I think the Transformers series is probably at the top of the list. Transformers has been around for quite sometime, but just recently regained it's popularity. So, I'm not sure if this would make it the movie of OUR generation, but I feel like it definitely is way more recognized as a movie of this time period. I thought Transformers would be a good fit for this topic (similarities between SW & T's) because; most of the main characters weren't humanly real, both take place in not-real settings, they both come in a series of movies, and both have caused a large scene. I mean by "large scene" as in, you can walk into any Walmart and almost any other department store and if you keep your 'eyes peeled'  you will notice multiple different objects Transformers & Starwars themed. A few that I could think of off the top of my head would be, clothing (T-shirts, pajamas, underwear), toys/games, costumes, and some smaller things like toothbrushes, bed sets, party supplies, etc.

  1. Transformers is an interesting place where two generations meet. Though it's considered an action-movie franchise now, when I was a kid it was a cartoon and a series of toys.
