We have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/?s=El+Mayimbe\">had issues with El Mayimbe&#8217;s accuracy<\/a> in the past, but he has gotten better in that regard as he has moved up the entertainment media food chain.<\/p>\n<p>Bay&#8217;s attachment to the project might cause an angry uproar amongst fans. Bay has a reputation as an Uwe Boll who made a better deal with the devil&#8211;a hack who never let plot or characterization stand in the way or a good action scene where things blow up.<\/p>\n<p>But Lobo was presented as a parody of the grim antihero movement in comics of the 1990s where being cool and badass were more important than plot or deep characterization. With a little introspection, Bay could be the perfect director for the project. But even without any introspection, Bay might accidentally stumble into being what the film needs in a meta sense.<\/p>\n<p>More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Is Bay and Lobo a great pairing&#8230;or THE GREATEST PAIRING!<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/02\/08\/michael-bay-meets-warner-brother-lobo\/\" title=\"Michael Bay Meets With Warner Brothers About LOBO\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":42843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[106,84],"tags":[2002,1622,2978,8212,1838,1739,9605],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42842","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-comicsandfilm","8":"category-news","9":"tag-dc-entertainment","10":"tag-deadpool","11":"tag-el-mayimbe","12":"tag-jason-fuchs","13":"tag-lobo","14":"tag-michael-bay","15":"tag-umberto-gonzalez"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42842"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=42842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
