And worst of all, the frightening sidekicks of the film and the mistake this film will most likely be forever known for: Mudflap and Skids, the Stepin Fetchbots of the film. It's as if Michael Bay looked at Jar Jar Binks and said "Oh, *%!% no. Really? People find THAT offensive? *%!% that, I'll show them a +%@$%$# stereotype they'll never +%@$%$# forget!" And he does.
Oh. My. God.
They speak in clichéd urban slang, tossing around phrases like "I'm gonna pop a cap in your +!!" while fist bumping and mumbling unintelligently in a voice that sounds like a bad Chappelle Show sketch. Then you get a close up. And they each have bug eyes and a gold tooth. Then there's this #@*#+@@ comment about them not being able to read. My jaw was on the floor. I mean, if you're gonna toss out a bad stereotype, at least have the courtesy to make that stereotype a complete badass so as to deflect complaints that this is a deliberately negative portrayal. These mother !%%*%$$ are incompetent, bumbling and never, EVER, cool.
