Magic A Is Magic A: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'', one of the implied consistencies (enforced by [[Michael Bay]]) is that the robots don't do any of the "[[Hammerspace|mass shifting]]" that has permeated all of the prior incarnations. The Robots have to fit inside their vehicle modes, no more and no less. This resulted in Optimus being a larger semi-truck model to allow for a bigger robot and the largest robot in the first movie, the huge helicopter Blackout, had a hulking robot form. They figured by keeping consistent with that, they could manage the (more difficult to accept) mass shifting of the [[MacGuffin|All Spark]] because it was used as something special and not as a generic power of all the robots.

* In ''[[The Last Airbender]]'', M. Night Shyamalan changed a significant aspect of Firebending so that it aligned better with the other bending arts. In the show, Firebenders could create their own fire, but for the movie, they are now required to have a fire SOURCE to manipulate. [[Elemental Baggage|As he said, Katara needed a bag of water and Toph needed to be touching the earth, so why don't firebenders need fire?]] And much like how Katara learned bloodbending and Toph learned metalbending, master Firebenders are able to find a source of energy from their chi and create their own fire anyway.
