Transformers: The Twins Almost Made a Controversial Comeback

by

In such a diverse and wide-reaching fan community as that of Transformers, it’s no surprise that there are fans who appreciate even the less popular characters. However, it might be challenging to find supporters of Skids and Mudflap from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, often referred to as The Twins. These characters were criticized heavily in 2009 for their portrayal of harmful racial stereotypes and outdated, annoying jokes. Despite this, it’s worth noting that these twin characters nearly made an appearance in Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2011.

In summary, this tune is quite strong and has sparked some comparisons to “Peaches” from the popular film, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, due to certain surface-level similarities. However, it’s important to note that these are mainly due to the movie’s success rather than a deliberate attempt to replicate the original song. Unlike “Peaches,” which was essentially a comedic one-off, “I Feel Alive” is a well-structured track intended to showcase Jack Black’s diverse abilities.

In a surprising twist, Jack Black wasn’t initially cast as Steve in the production. Originally, Steve was conceived as a talking pig, but the character evolved late in development to become human, due to the need for an experienced host. This decision, however, sparked controversy among fans who felt that Jack Black was simply playing himself in the trailers.

According to Torfi Frans Ólafsson, Mojang’s senior director, this Steve isn’t the one you or I know. Instead, it’s Jack Black’s interpretation of the character. Some fans were taken aback when they saw the early teasers and trailers, commenting that it looked like just Jack Black in a different role. Yet, perhaps it is just that – Jack Black embodying this character as he sees fit.

Ólafsson revealed to Variety that Black took his new role very seriously on set. This dedication was partly fueled by Ólafsson’s insistence on having Xbox consoles available during filming and private Minecraft servers for the cast and crew to play together.

Remarkably, Jack Black spent over 100 hours playing Minecraft, earning him the title of the most passionate player on set. He became obsessed with finding lapis lazuli, a bright-blue stone in the game, and even asked if he could discuss it in the movie.
