I never watched the Transformers television animated series nor read the Marvel comic books. I saw the first film with my cousin who was a fan, but I didn’t think much of it. I had no intention of seeing the latest Transformers release, but the vitriolic comments in support of the movie after Tafari posted this article on the racism within [...]
