Bumblebee is the first Transformers film where the studio seemed to genuinely care about the characters. Yet, it's also the first Transformers film to almost become a box office flop. In today's episode of Anatomy of a Failure, let's find out how the movie's exclusive focus on character ended up hurting it in the box office.

Honestly, Bumblebee 2018 is a good film and a definite improvement from the last few Transformers. It's interesting to see what happens with Transformers 6 and Bumblebee 2 going forward. Will we see more Michael Bay like the producer suggests? Hailee Steinfeld's character is great, so I wouldn't mind if we got more of her in the future. More John Cena is never bad either, I guess.

Death con This guy doesn’t understand the concept of profit, all he saw was that Bumblebee made under half a billion and thought it was a flop. Not taking to account its budget or marketing cost, so which was far less than The Last Knight. TLK was a flop due to the total cost being $520 million in budget + marketing and made only $602-$605M worldwide (with $130.1M domestic) while Bumblebee total cost is roughly $204M in budget + marketing and made $465-$467M (with $127.1M domestic, on a budget of $102M). So he’s just wrong!!

The movie failed in the US for several reasons. 1) Marketing wasn’t too great, especially since the film went up against the successful Aquaman. 2) “Transformers” was missing from the title so casuals didn’t know what it was. 3) Some fans that knew what it was were suffering from burnout after The Last Knight.

This is why the Transformers Prime series was the greatest interpretation I have ever seen. Great overarching plot, good character development, and beautiful stylized animation. If someone make a live action movie based on that series and a lot of love was put into it, I would throw my money at them. If companies want to make a Transformers movie, look over Transformers Prime and how it’s so well structured. Use it as an example.

This movie is honestly better than all the Bay movies for 3 reasons: 1) The War on Cybertron segment was basically one massive love letter to the franchise. The G1 designs, the voice actors and the brutality of the war itself was great 2) The characters actually have personalities that make them fun to watch Shatter and Dropkick in particular were actually fun villains that felt unique. Alredy this gives us more than what the Bay movies gave us 3) It actually has enough restraint to not fall into the same trap of the Bayverse, giving us orgies of explosions and halfbaked Adam Sandler level comedy every 10 minutes.

Was the lack of plot really the main problem ? Maybe so when taking the larger audience into account, but as a TF fan my biggest gripe is how this movie doesn´t really focus on the cybertronians as characters, it´s very human centric, Bumblebee may be the title character but i wouldn´t say he is properly fleshed out, he is mute and *amnesiac* for most of of the story and basecally acts like a puppy to Charlie who is the one to actually get the spotlight, i fear Hollywood producers still don´t trust in the Transformers to actually carry the story as characters.

I was 30 years old when immigrant legally to the U.S. My mission is to have a job and support the people who raised me up in my hometown. I went to ESL class to learn English and I felt like I was a 5 years old boy - tried to figure out the language and everything. Then after 1 year I went to college made friend with 18 year-old friends and even younger guys at my part time job, which made me feel like i was a teenager. That proved that the plot you pointed out here is haven't formed yet since this is the very beginning time of Bumblebee on Earth, where he has to kick start again in a new place, made friend with a little cute human, feel like "how the hell she's so sweet but have too much emotional struggles". He got influenced by the new friends (just like I treated my first American friends like gods), and still figure out the new place during this movie. The director had put himself in Bumblebee - an Alien- a foreigner in a completely new place. I love this movie because empathized with the bot, and the kid, somethings that Michael Bay was totally fail.

That's BS. I see nothing but excuses for the lack of domestic success of this movie. If they would've started with BB before Beyverse. There would be no more TFmovies. Here's why. The 80s cartoon version woukd never play well in a real life timeline. What you seem to not think about is this. My kids were born in the 90s. What they see is what relative to their timeline. 80s flatnose truck, VW Bettle, walking Tapedeck that ejects cassette tape looking transforming robots Transformers that has earth looking car parts that has never been to earth. Why does a robot on cybertron has rescue insignia on him "Ratchet" windshield wipers, etc. Robot jets that look like their from earth but they transform into alien jets.....does that make sense? This is why they didnt take that route in the Beyverse because that 80s era is over and it would not translate well in a live action film. And in 2019....they were correct and the domestic failure proved it. Whether you like it or not. The Beyverse made more sense. They didnt look like nothing on earth, they're not from earth. So having a protoform made sense. Again, my kids are born in the 90s. They were teenagers when the movie came out. Every vehicle was relative in their timeline. Soundwave being a satellite made logical sense than a damn tapedeck. Seeing them scan a vehicle to take on a disguise from their alien bodies made sense. To have them not look like anything relative to earth vehicles while living on Cyberyron makes sense. And let's not forget every movie had a plot and sub-plot. No matter how cheesy. 1. Boy finds car robot/ searching for the cube 2. Boy wants to save robot leaders life/ matrix of leadership/star harvester 3. Robot leader finds mentor/Sentinal Prime/turns traitor/ pillars to bring Cybertrin to earth and turn earthlings into slaves to rebuild Cybertron Are you catching on? Regardless of what happened in between there was a purpose from point a to point b. The BBM had none of it. No plot relative to BBs purpose for even being on earth. And nothing he did throughout established that. Then you have a girl teaching a warrior robot how to hide?....anyway. this was a good movie. But I'd rather watch the Transformers Movie one. DOTM, AOE. over this any day. I'm a 70s baby. I grew up on G1. But I also understand that this is new age. The G1 cartoon and movie was great for my generation. The live action G1 generation if the Transformers is for my kids who are now adults and still love their Beyverse G1 generation. That's for them. Who am I to infringe on their generation? I had mine and now I'm enjoying theres and proud to know that their generation of the transformers was inspired by mine. By which I get a better since of appreciation for Bayverse.

Bumblebee made nearly as much money as Last Knight on only half the budget. Doesn't sound like a failure to me. If any thing it looks more like proof of how cost ineffective Bayhem is. Also, the movie doesn't lack a plot, it's just telling a different kind of story, one that leans more into the slice of life genre.

This is what I was thinking, yes. I understand most of what is said in the video is from the perspective of how it could have been marketed better, but sometimes in life things do happen and people take actions for seemingly no reason. That's not to say every movie should be like that, but more that that's simply another form of storytelling. Admittedly I have not actually seen this film (I get the feeling I will though), but from what I gather about it, a film like this might represent a turning back to old-style movies that people went to see just to watch people hanging out, like an Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, or American Graffiti. Although I haven't seen those films either so I'm largely going off of what they're supposed to be about, but still. Not everything needs to have a clear Point A and Point B. I still get the point but come on, this is clearly not a high-concept film and was never meant to be.

No I watched the movie and I agree it has no plot, you can be a slice of life story yet have some goals or a background plot for the characters. Characters can have their personal own goals, Charlie did have a small one connected to her father’s car which she dropped once she got bumblebee, sadly, and bumblebee lost his goal for most of the movie due to memory loss, the villains had goals tho. Also most of the time the Slice Of Life stories are better for shows and anime not movies. But fair point on how well it did compared to the Last Knight, the movie makers and causal people are just dumb thinking if it’s smaller numbers it’s bad even though it did good for its cost and such. Also it doesn’t need to be a “High Concept Film” to have a plot or characters to have goals lol

Nah. You aren’t. Only problem is When you have too much action in every single movie. It just gets a bit tedious. From my point of view what seperates transformers from something like the Recent Godzilla and Kong movies. Is the fact that Kong and Godzilla to a degree can’t be relatable. I mean. They’re giant skyscraper sized Monsters who beat the crap out of other monsters to protect humanity or to achieve their goal. Such as in Godzilla KOTM. While Godzilla isn’t as destructive, he sticks to his main goal, that being to kill king Gihdorah. Transformers on the other hand to a degree are Relatable. We can communicate with them, understand why they are fighting for what they are, and how they operate and function. Optimus being the leader. Megatron being the same on the enemy side. The reasons why our characters fight is as much important as the ways they fight. For example look at Infinity war. They made Thanos into more of an antagonist rather than a pure villain. Because he stood against what the Protagonists wanted. In the OG G1 comics and films. For the most part. Before Megatron created the deceptions he was a gladiator but also an outspoken Transformer. He spoke against the societal Enginnering that had been going on for eons. Where your form would dictate your fate and function. But after being betrayed by close friends, and even being made a joke in front of the high council in front of Optimus. (Back then known as Orian Pax) his goals changed. Because he knew the only way change would happen is by force. That’s why he fights. But the unique thing is that much like Thanos to a degree. His goals corrupt overtime. Thanos’s ideals soon transform him into a mass scale genocide maniac. And Megatron turns into a Ruthless dictator Set on destroying every last autobot and re-unite the Cybertronian race. As he puts it himself in a comic “Peace through tyranny.”

I think a large factor of why Transformers movies are controversial are because of the diverse and toxic fanbase. They all want a live action Transformers to be shown into a certain image. Every time they get original designs, they complain that the G1 based designs look cartoony and unrealistic. They complain Optimus acts like a psychopath but say that he’s a badass murdering Decepticons with extreme prejudice. Transformers fans ask for innovation but every time they get it, they hate it. They don’t know what they want.

Even those movies mostly focusing on characters still have plots. The good ones anyway. There are two types of writing though, both with good and bad examples: Stories where plots drive the characters, and stories where characters drive the plot. A generic movie like Independence Day is a good example of the former, and Game of Thrones, at least early on - had great examples of the latter. But make no mistake, there was still deep plot threads. Good cinema almost always has to have plot.

it's fine to have something more focused on characters than plot, but focusing exclusively on characters will cause many people to lose engagement at one point or another, as the runtime stretches on without a feeling of progression to keep them invested. I'm not saying you can't do that and have it be good, but as he said that's the plot of a low-budget indie film. It's not going to be as engaging for a super wide audience and it's extremely difficult to market to that wide audience, so it's difficult for such a film to make summer block-buster levels of money. And that's a problem when you're pouring summer block-buster levels of budget into special effects and marketing.

Character's actions should drive a plot forward. The main character's actions in Bumblebee do not drive the plot forward, therefore creating a feeling of stagnation while watching the movie.

I have no problem watching a slow moving character drama as long as character's actions cause things to happen in the story, otherwise the characters end up not being interesting. Charlie was set up as an interesting character but she doesn't do anything interesting in the movie.

Honestly there is no good explanation needed for bumblebee to act childisly. The problem with scene mentioned is that it's a lazy way to get detected. Bumblebee crushes cars and causes mayhem, but it only now matters? Audience will be cheated by that, as there is no coherent build-up. If anything, by the end bumblebee should cause less random mayhem, and be harder to detect. This is just another gag with no significant emotional loading. Important moments need already established emotional loading, a logical reason, or another significant aspect to work. Audiences don't complain about deus exmachinas unless they are both logically and emotionally unexpected. So I agree, this video misses the fault here. Bumblebee could act childlishly for any reason, and it wouldn't significantly worsen the movie. What matters that his actions and what follow from those actions is coherent.

"Robot gets lost. Robot must protect Earth." Let's change that to "Robot with amnesia gets lost and suddenly gets attacked by bad guys. With the help of a human girl, the unlikely duo undergoes a journey to beat the bad guys and to get robot's memory back." There. It's intriguing, right?

Micah Rhorer “I found a planet that's well hidden. Earth. You will travel there and establish a base for us. Once we've gathered the others, we'll join you.” -Optimus Prime. He’s basically telling Bumblebee to protect Earth, is he not?

Hey man, I've been binge watching your video analysis on movies and it inspires me to actually make a great story with reasonable plots. I've been a writer in the past and lost interest since I have no clear destination of what my story is going for. After watching and listening to you and your criticism towards the movies you covered, my eyes were open, and I know, as a writer what mistakes I've made in the past, and now thanks to you, know what to fix and improve. Keep making amazing content. Giving you love and support. Take care always.

@@TheFalladin It also doesn't help that because of the designs, once they get into a close quarters fight they tend to blur into a mass of grey with a few splashes of colour, plus the fights tend to degenerate into wild swings. The fight choreography in Bumblebee was a lot more interesting, especially since Bee was primarily yellow, Dropkick blue and Shatter red you could easily tell who was who. Plus they actually incorporated transformation into the fights, which I can't remember seeing in the Michael Bay films since... the first? When Starscream flew in guns blazing then transformed to engage the Autobots.

Well, the best rated Transformers films are the first one, and this one. They both have a rating of 7.1, according to IMDB. The others are kinda just there. Personally, I really enjoyed the third one, which was Dark of the Moon.

Your absolutely wrong this movie isn’t a failure it’s a successful movie that fans of g1 love and think it’s amazing and it’s the best one in the franchise cause it actually respects the original transformers it doesn’t have annoying and awful characters it’s not sexual the action isn’t shaky and I can see what’s happening in this movie and the transformers themselves I can tell who they are it has great affects it has great characters it’s emotional its a love letter to all of us fans of the original tv show and the 1986 movie so your 100% incorrect it may not have been a big success in the box office like the other ones made billions of dollars but it was a success to us fans hearts it made a big help to a dying franchise that definitely need a good reboot and a good fix
