This scene is the only thing that I know about the entire live-action part of the franchise.

This is to me the weirdest thing that has been in a mainstream movie ever. I know people talk about it and also find it weird, but it's one thing i can't get over. There was no reason for it, they could make his daughter older or the guy younger. No problem at all. He could drive a car at 17. He could be a drift car driver at that age when he grew up in a race car family or whatever. He even turned out to be a nice guy as far as i remember. The point wasn't that he was sleazy or weird, the point was: see, pedophiles can be nice, and it's actuality legal sometimes. I get that that's the message that Americans want to put out there and Americans crave apparently. But there wasn't any pushback at all, and as far as i can tell, no one asked them what they were thinking and if they should raid nome hard drives

Turns out the law on the card didn't apply to their situation anyway, so whoopsie, still rape.

They wanted to add a scene to the franchaise so weird and out of place and gross that you would forget that Sam and his parents talked about Sam's masturbation habits in the first movie.

It's a bit peculiar.

Actually, even the first couple were pretty weird with that one famous actress that was supposed to be like 16?

Idk guys, sometimes I worry we are the degenerates. Like you could totally make a transformers movie without negotiation of a minor girl's legal age of consent.

Just throw another explosion in instead.

That actually happens in the movie?

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 hours ago

It certainly does.

Just like the rest of the movie, the scene doesn’t make any sense.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 4 points 50 minutes ago

Well, it is the age of extinction.
