Having a Michael Bay movie would merely reinforce the worst possible prejudices against D&D being just for adolescent boys with no aesthetic sensibilities whatsoever. It would lose a wider market, regardless of the people who may go and see it. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0d6G1X278s" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0d6G1X278s</a>You can make a good movie that is fun and spectacular, without ignoring aspects of characterisation, relationships and plot. Guardians of the Galaxy works on several levels, which is much of it's appeal. We don't want something like Guy Richie's King Arthur (or 'Arffurr' as it was) - Sherlock Holmes (with Robert Downey Junior) worked though, because it had a good script, a decent villain and a compelling relationship between the protagonists. That is the sort of thing people should be thinking about - and it's not the sort of thing that Michael Bay ever thinks about.</blockquote>
