Would You Sacrifice Millions to Save Billions? Through most of the series, our heroes have responded to this question with a resounding “No.” In The Avengers, they stopped a nuclear attack on New York City meant to prevent global invasion. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they opposed H.Y.D.R.A.’s plan to use mass murder as a shortcut to peace.

‘Bumblebee’ Box Office Tracking For The Lowest ‘Transformers’ Opening Ever By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 30, 2018 12:30 pm EST At one time, the Transformers movies were box office giants. However, as the sequels continued and Michael Bay got more and more careless with the universe of Autobots and Decepticons, fans lost interest and the most recent sequel was a huge disappointment at the box office.
