Ever since the first Transformers movie became a worldwide phenomenon over fifteen years ago, Paramount has been churning out movies in the franchise every few years. The latest entry into the giant-robots-punching-each other film series is here, starring Anthony Ramos as the latest human-person-down-on-their-luck-who-discovers-a-Transformer.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts definitely raises some questions. Like why are we barely seeing the beasts when the movie title promises that they’ll be rising? Does continuity matter at all, or are we just done with that? What kind of Macguffin is everyone after this time?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Rise of the Beasts!

I like how Ryan still posts spoiler warnings, as if we're actually going to watch the movies instead of just watching the Pitch Meeting.

[@Nicamon]

I don't get why Ryan posts spoiler warnings as if ANY Pitch Meeting would contain no spoilers!🤷‍♂I mean...it's a sum up of the plot of the movie,YOU KNOW there will be spoilers!

At some point, there's going to be a comedic moment where some writer references 'The Obsolete Man' to the producer and they'll blink in confusion at them.

[@GlaurungTheGreat]

To be fair, Transformers movies would probably be better if they were written by an AI. At least then some form of intelligence would go into it.

The head wiping bit must have been just the MOST work Producer Guy has ever produced his entire career. AMAZING.

[@thegloriouskingkronk8422]

​@@se7enofnein Honestly, I don't think this Pitch Meeting hit the mark for this film The script should... just not really have been what it wound up being. Like, in terms of actual issues that aren't just "being average as hell", I get wanting the big bad to be introduced early, but in the case of Unicron, the threat is just too big to be feasible for the audience. Like, of course Unicron won't come out of the sky beam portal and eat the Earth. And why commit to Mirage or Bumblebee's death in the first entry of a trilogy? They're the marketable ones (although Mirage only has an expensive Deluxe toy apparently? Habsro is such a weird fuckin' company).

1:00 I mean... I think I watched the Bumblebee movie but I really cannot remember it well (which is weird if you know me)... but overall I think they decided to completely reboot and retcon the franchise with that one. Most annoyingly they try to shove this Optimus Prime character arc in that should explain how he developed the sympathy for the humans that we know from the other movies... but they also give zero effs about every other bit of continuity

[@michaelklaus]

also, if you think about it, if they had taken seconds to give Airazor (the bird, for all who did not take time to remember names; Michelle Yeoh's character) a burial or at least place her next to some more energon ore she would be revived, too; why do they even care about killing off any of the bots? also also: the movie hand waived time travel also also also, but only for German speakers: somebody decided to have Arcee Rider (The bike; Liza Koshy'scharacter; I guess she has at least some experience in acting and dubbing) being dubbed by a racing-car driver who only ever appeared in documentaries and hosting... outside of her sport; and I am not sure if she even came into a studio to do so; she sounds like she did all of her lines as ADRs and without any directions whatsoever; I mean, it is clearly not her fault and she might have done a good job if anybody told her how; and since I didn't have time yet to watch the movie also in OV I am not sure if the dubbing book also does her character injustice or if Arcee has the most stupid lines in that version also

After so many pitch meetings it's got to be hard for Ryan to come up with new things but the paper dropping, 'revenue stream, I mean friendship' and calculator stuff was properly LOL stuff. Great work Ryan. P.S. the film looks pretty dire. Thanks for watching it on all our behalf

[@alphagamer9505]

The movie was ok

[@TheFourthWinchester]

The movie was actually fun.

[@cylasbreakdown6140]

It’s the best transformers movie so far, though that’s not a huge accomplishment. It’s not perfect, but I enjoyed it.

[@sephandremanticore5438]

​@@cylasbreakdown6140I agree with every word

[@eiriksundby]

It's a genuinely good movie with a focus on character development driving the plot forward by tying motivations and narrative together

[@cristopherrose9356]

This is my first pitch meeting and I love it!

[@sorenbruns5541]

That long pause followed by "Well Great" was a moment to behold.

[@John-Doe-Yo]

With how good he’s gotten at this I sometimes forget there’s only one person talking to themself. Imagine seeing the behind the scenes where he reads the lines and it’s just dead air after each one lol.

[@joshsafar5556]

I feel like I would have to read all of the dialogue anyways and just edit it out so I can respond appropriately as if there was actually someone sitting across from me lol

[@ballman2010]

It's true, we get to just take for granted how good he's gotten at doing these now

[@RiskoVinsheen]

I like to imagine he just quickly changes costume between each line of dialogue going back and forth. I know that's probably not how he really does it, but it's funnier that way.

[@johnnypeguero9707]

you still saying them . him is the word

[@justforever96]

Pretty sure he has another person reading the other half of the script to him. You at him laughing sometimes at the start of a line like he's cracking up in response to the last line, which either means he is just laughing at reading his own script, seeing it for the first time, or more likely hearing it spoken out loud for the first time.

[@BatmanFan76]

I was actually waiting for them to make this joke; Screenwriter Guy: Noah just becomes Iron Man at this point, because there’s no other direction for this story to go. Producer Guy: Oh, suddenly becoming Iron Man is tight! Those movies made money.

[@2ZeDarkness]

Producer Guy's reactions were absolutely perfect in this episode. They got me every time. Well done sir!

[@user-fb5kc1rk1e]

I love the strict accuracy of "most humans live on planets".. 4:30 literally the best pause in the history of Pitch meetings.

[@leaveitome3407]

Ryan’s timing is insane. To react to himself the way he does is so perfect. He made me laugh a TON which I needed today. Thanks man.

[@frozennorth3426]

as one person is playing both characters, the timing is all in the editing, and it is excellent.

[@alanroberts6086]

It's crazy how fast he can change clothes and jump to the other side so quickly!

[@frozennorth3426]

@@alanroberts6086 good point. this series is, if nothing else, a nearly incomprehensible series of athletic feats

[@GreenWhiteGeeks-te9mu]

This might be coming in a bit late, but I hope whatever was on your mind was resolved satisfactorily. I hope it's been a better few days since.

[@leaveitome3407]

@@frozennorth3426 Yes, I guess he does a ton of takes and just edits it together perfectly. I can't imagine just "acting" your part with no response from the other side. Maybe he has a helper that reads the other lines for him. I don't care, it makes me laugh like crazy and that's what mattered the most to me that day (my mom recently passed). :)

We're on a 90s disaster movie binge atm and we were just talking about how there needs to be an Armageddon pitch meeting 😂

[@Emilis2023]

I just watched it. One part that made me chuckle that you don't mention was at the end Optimus says "Noah, let go. Save yourself". Funny thing though was they were both holding onto Optimus's axe. He could have just let go himself.

[@fanatica1338]

I cannot hear Ryan saying "It's the 90s" without hearing the theme song for the time travel show.

[@delugesofgrandeur]

I was surprised he didn't lean into that more after he said it.

[@jimdoherty4108]

The "WHOA!!" absolutely killed me. I had to stop the video 4 times. I can't believe this guy keeps getting funnier. Bravo, Mr. George

[@jktejik]

I didn’t see it coming. Burst out laughing.

[@DomagojSkiljan]

Yeah, we want more WHOAs 🎉🎉😂

[@Ride_XP]

Had to pause the video to laugh at that one. Insanely good comic timing

[@Apexapee]

At 1:50?

[@lowkeylokii4205]

FRACTIONS!

[@germaxicus6670]

As a super fan of the beast wars show I was really amped for this movie. Man Ryan really encompassed my feelings 😂

[@TheArtmann]

Is the was he says "fractions" that gets me every time😂😂😂

[@AttentionDeficitGuy]

I imagine you get a variation of this comment pretty much every Pitch Meeting, but: I love how you keep this formula fresh with all of the wildly different bits that you put in these videos, like the page dropping and the fraction calculating here. Running jokes are tight, and callbacks are super easy, barely an inconvenience, but that extra effort you put forward to make each Pitch Meeting unique even hundreds of videos later is loved and appreciated

[@emp9413]

He’s a genius 😂😊

[@pudding7876]

2:57 the look of shock at getting it right! 😂

[@capnbingbong7833]

Of all the running gags, my favorite by far is "Oh wow-wow-wow........ Wow" I love to try and guess ahead of time where it'll be. Rarely am I right, but every time am I thoroughly entertained

[@willprae2992]

"FRACTIONS!!!" I too love doing fractions with such intensity 😂

[@migii820]

I literally just walked out of the theater and wanted to watch the pitch meeting and just realized it was released a few minutes ago. What timing

[@MrCameratape]

I just say it yesterday as well so good timing for me

[@frozennorth3426]

walking out of a theater and looking for a pitch meeting episode coincidentally mere minutes after it was posted is Tight!

[@sebsplatter914]

What a producer-guy-extravaganza! So many new reaction sounds: the shocked "Woh!" @1:49 and the surprised "Hrumph" @2:58 are my favorites! The excited "Sick!" makes me happy every time, but producer guy yelling "Fractions!" is definitely my highlight in this video. Thanks for the new sounds and faces Ryan, I will add them to my collection of sounds and faces I will never dare to do outwardly but quietly enjoy whenever I could technically work them into a real conversation.

[@emp9413]

It’s the little things :)

[@anthonypiti1767]

[@Gnarfledarf]

This is a new level of quality. I think this'll be considered an instant classic.

[@TKE198]

"Fractions!" That delivery made me laugh way too hard

[@ryancraig6675]

It was confirmed for Hasbro that every movie starting from Bumblebee onward is a new continuity 5 years ago. Also Noah's exosuit was meant to be an homage to Spike Witwicky's exosuit from the 1986 animated movie... But the design of the latter was definitely Iron Man inspired 😂

[@FnSpiralMedia]
