9. There’s a Sassy Black Person
In almost every Michael Bay action film, you can rest assured that — at some point in the proceedings — a black person will be enlisted to either sass a major character or comment sassily on the events at hand. Even the transformer Jazz got tons of heat for sounding like a bigoted interpretation of a “sassy black person” in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. To Bay’s credit, he is capable of enlisting some pretty solid talent for that part. Comedian Eddie Griffin is one of the primary faces on the street when asteroids bombard New York in Armageddon. Community’s Yvette Nicole Brown gums up the works in The Island.
