Onyx Prime = Shockwave time travel plot is such shitty writing I could and WILL (eventually) write multiple essays about it it's so fucking bad.
#squiggposting
#for a brief preview of what i would be writing
#1. time travel was done better in the same continuity by JRO
#2. the plot by barber completely contradicted and undid most of the themes he was trying to build up
#3. the plot introduced a lot of shit out of nowhere with no foreshadowing and had to be done via excessive exposition
#4. it's just a really fucking bad logic loop that relies on a character doing things 4 THE EVULZ and not because he's like a person
#can't believe ppl are actually defending it because 'oh it's silly lol'
#it's not just silly it's stupid and it destroys most of the agency and drama of the rest of the story
#including parts of the story that the same people who like S = onyx also praise as good writing
#have higher standards for writers ffs don't accept shitty writing just because he made some points you agree with
#genuinely don't understand it at all lmao
#like barber made a whole story about the legacy of colonialism and how history is propagandistic and corrupt or whatever
#and then introduced the big plot twist that actually it was all machinated by just one guy
#hmmmm and here i thought this story was about responsibility and the way bigotry seeps into society's instutitions or something
#NOPE actually the reason society is racist and imperialistic is because one guy went back in time and decided to make all of it happen
#and the reason that guy wants a cybertronian empire is because he was raised during the golden age... which was brought about by the primes
#...who were created by that very same guy. so like it's just an infinitely repeating circular logic error
#in which this guy's motivations exist bc of the times he lived in but he literally invented the times he lived in
