Okay literally the one thing that would have made me even remotely accept Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan would be if he had long hair.

Like seriously.

KHAN FUCKING HAS LIKE ROMANCE NOVEL COVER HAIR AND BC HAD NONE OF THAT!!!

ALSO KHAN HAD A PENCHANT FOR SHOWING OFF HIS MAN CLEAVAGE AND BC DID NONE OF THAT EITHER!!!

You just can’t have Khan without long hair and man cleavage.

That’s an empirical fact.

Also shouldn’t have Khan be played by a white guy. :(


But yes, they should’ve gone with LONG GLORIOUS HAIR and MANLY CHEST!

I don’t know if I’ve talked about this before all that much, but I really like the character of Special Agent William Fowler.

Here’s a man who once had a proud history with the US military, but upon entering his twilight years and starting to soften up around the edges, he gets saddled with a group of monstrous, mechanical aliens. These beings, with the exception of Optimus, are hostile and condescending to him initially. Bulkhead even physically threatens Fowler, who has no means of defending himself against such force, at some points and Fowler’s still expected to independently keep them out of the public eye all while wrangling their very open conflicts with the Decepticons.

Yet in spite of all this… Fowler never gives up the location of the Autobot base, even when under extremely painful torture via Starscream. He slowly builds a greater level of trust and friendship with Optimus Prime over the first half of S1. In S2, he bonds with Bulkhead (remember, the ‘Bot who initially wanted to leave Fowler for dead) through their shared past of being soldiers and inspires Bulkhead to come home even after extensive injury and poisoning. Though vocal in his complaints, he never stops trying to protect the Autobots from retaliation or eviction by the US government. He never lets his size, age, or limited abilities prevent him from doing his job and helping his comrades (see him standing up to Wheeljack and confronting Silas). And even when it seems like Optimus Prime is dead, an entire city has been leveled by the Decepticons, and Megatron has other major American cities in his cross-hairs; Fowler keeps a firm upper lip and does his best to verbally negotiate with the mad king Megatron has become.

I find William Fowler to be a really great, interesting, and inspiring character. There is infinitely more to him than a great celebrity voice and random jokes. He is strong, he is loyal, he is dynamic, and by god is he brave. He is the human ally the Autobots both deserve and need.
