I don't think the Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover movie is a good idea | Talon Discussions

I honestly wish the back of that card said Sector 7.

[@Talon_Productions]

Same here man!

[@GalvatronStudios]

The original screening of the movie confirmed it was Sector 7. Why they changed it at the last minute despite nobody liking the idea of GI Joe crossing over initially, is beyond our comprehension.

People told me when the card was shown at the end of ROTB, their entire theater *GROANED* that pretty much explained everything. My eyeballs rolled to the back of my head so much, I saw an alternate timeline where TLK was a success.

[@Talon_Productions]

The first time I saw ROTB there was a decent bit of excitement from others in the theater. The second time it was a mix of applause and "WTF?"

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

So what? that "G.I.Joe" scene you were whining about never effected my enjoyment for ROTB anyway, you have entitlement issues you know that? lmao.

People complained about all the human characters in the Bayverse, but they think this is a good idea? More humans taking up the screentime while the robots take a backseat because CGI is expensive and they barely say or do anything, now they have an excuse to do less, unless they're Optimus or Bumblebee, or maybe Mirage now too? Seriously, ROTB had the second smallest Transformers cast, and they still didn't get properly developed or do anything all that interesting. Wheeljack did little to nothing, Arcee did little to nothing, Bee was dead so he did nothing, Battletrap said a few words and did little, Rhinox said nothing, and Stratosphere could've been written out of the movie entirely and no one would miss him. It was all on Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal, Airazor, Mirage, and Scourge. Now throw in a dozen human characters that will have to represent the characters from GI Joe, and you've got a bloated cast unless they're going to boil it down to 5 main characters. Also Megatron STILL hasn't appeared in this rebooted universe yet. This rebooted universe feels more lost than the Bayverse ever was, because right off the bat we have Unicron, Terrorcons, Decepticons, the Maximals and Predacons, and now this? What's next? Headmasters? G2? They need to pump the breaks big time and take it SLOW because they're already biting off more than they can chew.

[@Talon_Productions]

I'm with you on pretty much everything here!

[@OfficialFinnTDK]

This crossover made me think that this "rebooted" universe is having an identity crisis.

[@Talon_Productions]

I'd agree with that!

[@JcgLounge]

I love that a crossover is happening….But it shouldn’t happen now. And this 2:50 The Snake Eyes spinoff is the biggest reason why I don’t think now is the time for a crossover. Like you said, that film failed. It failed critically and financially. And it wasn’t a great movie unfortunately it was mediocre. They didn’t do Snake Eyes justice in the movie. They need to properly get G.I.Joe right and make a great movie about them before we move into a crossover film.

[@ericm.8110]

With many current films and series I have the feeling that the writers have no idea what to do. They just throw random cameos simply because so they can make quick money. I know that this case is a crossover, and not a cameo, but they will only make this crossover for the quick money.

[@RingoLoadagain]

"But they did it in the comics" means they can do it and it'll automatically be good right? RIGHT?? sigh...

[@BlitzStudiosIsinsideyourhome]

@@RingoLoadagain It could be depending on how well they'll implement gi joe, kinda like how nest worked

[@Zodiac3107]

Seeing RotB in theatres. My mother audibly said G.I. Joe? And, well nobody else was in the theatre. They all left once the credits started rolling.

[@RingoLoadagain]

"Depends on execution" for sure. I'm not a fan of this idea either. There's just no way that humans fighting or doing ANYTHING is going to be able to measure up to Transformers fighting or doing ANYTHING. It's just not possible, but I wanna be optimistic cause it's just been inevitable for a while so might as well lean into it and try to hope it's fun.

[@mmrproductions3176]

Me personally, I don’t hate the concept it sounds like it could be fun. I just think it doesn’t work as a movie. Because we got a lot of stuff being thrown in this new universe real quick. Maximals, Terrorcons, and Unicron. And if we’re getting more TF characters as well, they probably won’t be focused or have enough screentime because the Joes would get in the way. I don’t hate it, but I’m not exactly looking forward to it.

[@RealChoopgood1]

To be honest hasbro is going a little too far with there other properties

[@weewoo695]

i dont think its going to be good. transformers movies are MCU quality now

I mean most of the MCU is pretty great, so that isn't a bad thing in my eyes lol

[@weewoo695]

@@Talon_Productions fair its just not my cup of tea

[@InceptionofException]

I think instead of a Transformers & G.I. Joe crossover film, they should’ve done this crossover idea. Transformers X Power Rangers. I’d like to imagine it as a nonstop robot action flick with both the transformers themselves and the power rangers with their Zords.

[@Teddy-ev1zo]

Gi joe is the human version of transformers, in the marvel comics they did, they were both created by hasbro.

[@godzillaraiden4203]

Idk if i like this idea. You know i would love to see some TF Crossovers like Godzilla, Star Trek, Or any IP. Its just that i feel like GI JOE isn't a good candidate, It felt more of like a forced relationship. Crossovers are cool but i think it just seems way too early and the fact Lorenzo wants it to happen just..Idk. The guy say we've been waiting for this for like a long time despite the lack of interest over those years. This guy also produced the Madame Web movie. Now it could work, Just that i fear they'll just make it more human and less Robot focused. It could be the opposite but i don't think it'll work too. I want Transformers to do it's own thing, It has a lot of potential to do new stuff while also incorporating some elements from the Animations and Comics like IDW or Skybound. If i were to make a movie for the sequel then it would be about the Predacons.

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

Speaking of Skybound. Can you imagine what another Transformers cartoon would be like if it was based on the Skybound comics and yet with Invincible animation? Cause' that would be awesome :)

[@WorthyGibbon]

I loved Rotb. But I think that movies main problem was cramming too much in one movie with autobots, terrorcons, maximals and unicron. I feel like they are only making the problem worse with this movie. I will probably enjoy it since I’m a huge TF fan but the same problem is still there. I think they should have built up to it MCU style instead of going right in. Rotb would have been a better movie if we had a solo movie for both the auto bots and the maximals so they could flesh out their character. That’s basically my only big problem with this reboot. Everything else is pretty good.

[@AfterthymeGaming]

We're getting a Transformers One figure in the Studio Series before the Bayverse can finish. RoTB and Bumblebee finished their line up of characters in a span of few years. For Bayverse we were so close to finishing up DoTM and 07. We just need Que and Frenzy for those two to be completed. Maybe Frenzy in SS is just a fever dream so the 07 is technically complete, I guess. But this is outrageous. And what did the SS claim? To remake every toys of the Transformers who appeared in movies. I'm seeing non from Predacons Rising so it's just en excuse to cash in the G1 stuff with SS86. This is outrageous. And Hasbro and Takara are the only ones making licensed Transformers toys that transforms. I don't see love for a Baywhiner anymore.

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

That's fine, I felt burnt out from the Bayverse anyway, well mostly the TF ones since the TMNT 2014-16 movies are still on my favorite TMNT movies/shows list lol. And also, looking foward to seeing TF ONE as I'm mostly just gonna see this crossover by pirating it instead of seeing it in theaters.

[@weewoo695]

BBM and ROTB have a lot less ground to cover so ofc it finished before the bayverse, also they're live action movies too so whenever they get toys instead of bayformers im okay with that, however the bayverse is done dirty because theres still a lot of characters from AOE and TLK to be done not to mention all the bayverse video games and concept characters now that they're doing that gamer edition and concept art stuff. the bayverse has more than enough reason to keep going in SS

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

Y'know what? I gotta go calm down, this sh*t was real illuminating. Edit: I changed my mind, I'm probably thinking about pirating the crossover instead of seeing it in theaters since I might enjoy seeing TF ONE in theaters more since it's animated lol.
