Talk:Dylan Gould
Was Dylan's company named in the movie?--Nevermore 13:22, 1 July 2011 (EDT)
Yes. As the humans are talking to the downed military drone Carly mentions that they own the building that Megatron and Sentinel are standing on Flydie 12:58, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
Dylan Gould's pets
[edit]How many pets does Dylan Gould has? because in Dark of the Moon, when the Chicago invasion began, he mentioned dogs in plural when he ordered their transfer to the back of his apartment in Trump Tower, which means is more than one, and later when his prisioner was observing Megatron and Sentinel through a telescope, it's possible to see two dogs, but i fear that he has more than just two, and more animal species beyond just dogs as pets. If anyone knows how many he has, just type it here the answer. Thanks! --Cybertron Forever (talk) 17:15, 22 November 2020 (EST)
- We can only comment on what we see. If we only see two dogs, we can only mention two dogs. Maybe phrased as "at least two dogs", but that's about all the leeway we have. But, really, this seems pointless. How does this affect the quality of the wiki? It seems as silly as something like "what color underwear do you think Dylan Gould wears?". --Khajidha (talk) 13:22, 23 November 2020 (EST)
Why did Dylan Gould kept Carly Spencer as prisoner after Sam Witwicky made his part on his plan?
[edit]At the time when i made my first update to Dylan's page, i thought that he kept Carly as prisoner when he arrive in Chicago because he wanted to imprison her an sex-slave and force her to be his wife. When this was undone and claimed to be an speculation however, i then started to ask myself: Why Dylan kept her with him after Sam did what he wanted him to do? Because after Sam told him that the Autobots wheren't going to fight back, Dylan could easilly give her back to him. In fact, if he did so, then Carly wouldn't be able to witness Sentinel Prime berating Megatron during their talk in Chicago, and so she wouldn't have told him about the danger that Sentinel implies to his leadership, and since it was because of his intervention that Optimus Prime was saved, then without it, Optimus would have died in Sentinel's hands. --Cybertron Forever (talk) 20:45, 11 February 2021 (EST)
- That's called plot convenience. And please stop using the talk pages to start speculative conversations. That's what forums and other social media are for. If you're not bringing actual official info to the discussion, there's no point in having it at all. --Fritz (talk) 21:21, 11 February 2021 (EST)
- Sorry, but as i said in another talk page, there're still things about this wiki that i don't understand, so i kinda make these mistakes, besides i only trust on information that comes from this site and not in forums and social media. And hey, i saw that i long time ago the talk pages used to have speculative conversations, one exemple: DOTM date. And i still don't understand, why did he still kept Carly prisoner after Sam did what he wanted? That's what i want to know. Last but not least: What is plot convenience and what does this has to do with Dylan keeping her prisoner in DOTM? --Cybertron Forever (talk) 21:37, 11 February 2021 (EST)
- A lot of the older talk pages on the wiki are from a time when the wiki still allowed anonymous users to edit, which also meant a lot of speculation, arguing on talk pages, and other things that we've actively tried to crack down upon since. From an out-of-universe perspective it's pretty clear that Carly is doing the "damsel-in-distress" routine so that Sam can prove himself a hero by saving her; in-universe... it could be any number of reasons, maybe he wanted to marry her or sacrifice her or offer to make her co-ruler of Earth or who the hell knows—but from analyzing the movie and various ancillary comics, we already know basically everything canonical about Dylan Gould and his motivations, and stuff beyond that is just speculation that we can't put on the wiki.Grum (talk) 21:59, 11 February 2021 (EST)
- Plot convenience is what Grum said... something happening just for the sake of having a story, even if it has no real logic or reason behind it. And that's what we're all trying to tell you. You are over analyzing things and the wiki won't support it any longer. --Fritz (talk) 22:13, 11 February 2021 (EST)
