10 Movie Scenes WAY More Disturbing Than Intended

Michael Bay strikes again with this considerably more nauseating and questionable sequence from the fourth Transformers movie, Age of Extinction.

For reasons that only Bay and writer Ehren Kruger will ever understand, there's a brief subplot where protagonist Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) freaks out after learning that his 17-year-old daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz) is dating 20-year-old Shane (Jack Raynor).

With Tessa being below the age of consent at the time, that would seemingly make their sexual relationship illegal.

That is, until Shane suddenly whips out a card explaining that Texas' "Romeo and Juliet Law" grants an exclusion for couples in a "pre-existing juvenile foundational relationship," as the pair previously dated in high school. Yup.

Star Jack Raynor has since stated that the scene was merely intended to be some oddball comic relief, yet critics and audiences alike were dumbfounded that a discussion about consent somehow crept its way into a movie about robots shellacking the hell out of each other.

And through the lens of a post-MeToo era, it just comes off as even more sus.

This all could've been avoided by just making Tessa 18 years old, y'know?
