rosie is a pretty face.. super hot model wow! but all she does is scream and sam has to protect her instead but megan fox is shows more initiative/helped out during the battle. too bad megan talks without thinking
my thoughts
I'm struggling to figure out whether you're talking about Megan Fox or Mikaela Banes there, but I kinda have to agree. If they'd recast Mikaela instead of awkwardly writing in a replacement girlfriend I would have a lot more respect for this movie.

It's funny because Carly's role and even her wardrobe basically ARE meant to be for Mikaela...they pretty much added the White House scene and changed her name and that was that, prest-o change-o Mikaela is now Carly. Kinda lame, but it's hard to fault them for it considering the circumstances.
So Carly essentially IS Mikaela, she just couldn't join the action as much this time around since she didn't have any human-sized Decepticons to attack like she did Frenzy and Alice, and because the car she might otherwise have been able to ram into Decepticons turned out to actually BE a Decepticon, lol.
And I think you're forgetting that Mikaela-oops-I-meant-Carly actually DID show initiative in combat anyway when she walked right up and mouthed-off to Megatron so he'd get off his ass and finally give Sentinel Prime the beat-down he deserved.
I like how Megan Fox's character was more of a badass. How she tortured that decepticon or whatever in #2 and her "mechanic skills". I just liked that she was a tomboy compared to the new girls prissy attitude. Just my opinion.
shareIt does make the romantic relationship in the first two seem pointless now. Though I do like that Rosie's playing Carly, Spike's true girlfriend and later wife in the original cartoon. Sam is supposed to be Spike, though maybe in concept only.
However I honestly don't think much of the script was changed when Megan Fox was fired. Being kidnapped, talking with Megatron, blah, blah. That probably would've happened regardless of a new love interest or not.

Carly married Sam in the cartoons but who attended the wedding?
That would have been an epic scene. And if Megtron had crashed the party
I actually liked Carly more in some regards she was tougher than Megan Foxs character but its usually overlooked because people base the toughness of their characters on simple things like wardrobe and since Carly dressed more "girly" people assumed she is more "girly".
shareI actually liked mikael a much more since she was hotter and more useful since I do agree that Carly felt like the replacement girlfriend.
shareI can't stand either of them. Both utterly appalling actors playing wooden characters.

Feminist vs Misogyny
shareOf course. Replacing Mikaela Banes was such a bad move. Atleast they would have kept the name alive.
