Why Loki's army in THE AVENGERS is NOT like the Transformers

Why Loki's army in THE AVENGERS is NOT like the Transformers

It really grinds my gears when people say "Loki's army (Chitauri) was JUST LIKE Transformers!" when, if anybody took the real time to think about it, they're not.

I'm getting sick of people saying Loki's army in AVENGERS are like the Transformers.... Tell me, how exactly are they like Transformers? Loki's army (The Chitauri) are living, breathing creatures clearly made of ORGANIC MATTER.

They weren't machines, they did not have the ability to change shape (let alone disguise themselves as earthly vehicles), and they weren't 18+ feet tall....

Yes, they had carrier ships (Leviathans (4 of them)) that were armored dragon-like creature things that could possibly resemble a Transformer.... but it was not like one in any way.

They had flying vehicles... but those don't count as Transformers neither since they never "transformed".


Please, explain how this...






...looks like this?






Now, some people have said that this scene from Transformers 3...


...looks a lot like this scene from AVENGERS.


And while it clearly doesn't, I could understand some people's reasoning. Big metal covered thing destroying a building looks like another big metal covered thing destroying a building. But they two are far from similar other than the generalization I just provided. If you're going to use generalizations for everything, you might as well say Serenity and Die Hard are the same because both protagonists use guns.



So, in my opinion, the whole 'Loki's army are just like Transformers' argument is stupid and idiotic.


If people took the time to think about it, instead of just going off what that one chick said on that negative Rotten Tomatoes review (she compared The Avengers to Transformers 3, which proves she didn't actually watch the movie and should get back in the kitchen), they'd realize The Avengers is nothing like Transformers.





And after reading this, you still find yourself believing The Avengers is like Transformers...
