A lot of Transformers Prime makes a lot more sense once you realize each character believes they're in a different genre.
Most of the Autobots think they're in a post-apocalyptic survival series, except Wheeljack who thinks he's in a Last Cowboy/Last Samurai western/samurai movie, the human kids think they're in E.T, Agent Fowler thinks he's in a cold war movie, Knock-Out thinks he's in a porn movie, and Megatron& Optimus think they're in an epic tragedy.
say it!!!!
Mahsa Amini, the young woman whose death in police custody has prompted mass protests in Iran, was “tortured and insulted” before she died, her cousin has said.
In an exclusive interview with Sky News, Erfan Mortezaei told Sky News about what happened to his cousin and how she has become the “voice of the anger of the Iranian people”.
He called on the international community to hold the Iranian regime responsible for her death.
He is the first member of Miss Amini’s family to speak to Western media since her death in police custody in Tehran on 16 September.
In the hours before she died, the 22-year-old had been detained by the country’s morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely.
Outcry over her death has boiled over into some of the most serious protests in the country for years, with dozens of people killed as authorities seek to clamp down on unrest.
Mr Mortezaei is a political activist and Peshmerga fighter living in Iraq near the Iranian border.
Speaking to Sky News in Sulaymaniyah in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, he said Miss Amini had gone shopping in Tehran with relatives including her brother, Ashkan.
He said they were confronted by the morality police: “When they saw Mahsa and others they decided her hijab was not correct.
"Ashkan tried to explain to them they were not in their home city, and were strangers in Tehran, so please take that into consideration and pleaded not to be taken away.
"In the struggle the police officers pepper-sprayed Ashkan in the face and forced Mahsa into the van and take her to the morality police station.”
Mr Mortezaei said a witness who was in the van has told the family what happened next.
“During the journey to the police station she was tortured and insulted,” he said.
After arriving at the police station Miss Amini began to lose her vision and fainted.
He said it took 30 minutes for ambulance workers to reach her and an hour and a half before she got to hospital.
“There is a report from Kasra hospital [in Tehran] that says effectively by the time she reached the hospital she was already dead from a medical point of view.
"She suffered a concussion from a blow to the head.”

“X bodily fluid is just filtered blood!” buddy I hate to break it to you but ALL of the fluids in your body are filtered blood. Your circulatory system is how water gets around your body. It all comes out of the blood (or lymph, which is just filtered blood).
