The final scene of TRANSFORMERS: DAWN OF THE ANIMALS prepares something that I would like to be excited about

If you haven’t looked Transformers: Rise of the Beasts however, you may want to skip this one as I have a few main spoiler territory with how the movie ended.

If I had truly enjoyed the film, I would have been thrilled with the way it ended and what it set up for the future. I wish I could rave about what has been created, but with Paramount’s track record with these films, I only predict that what happens in the future will be much the same.

The end of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts set the big GI Joe AND Transformers intersection. I knew this was going to happen one day, but franchises aren’t ready for that. I’ll get to that later in the article, but first I’ll explain how the whole GI Joe thing was set up.

Over the course of the film Noah Diaz (Antonio Ramos) has trouble finding a job and in the midst of his struggles, finds himself drawn into an adventure to save the world from Unicron with his new Transformers friends.

At the end of his harrowing journey, which has seen him fight a major villain better than any other Transformers character, he ends up at a job interview at a shipping company conducted by an unnamed individual played by Zeljko Ivanek.

It is here that he learns that a top secret organization has been following his exploits with the Transformers and they want to offer him a job. At first, some fans might have assumed that this was a tease for Sector Seven, which was the government organization in charge of running the Transformers. But Noah is handed a card and when he looks at that card, he sees that he has been recruited by GI Joe to serve as an official liaison to the Autobots.

I just have to say that top secret government organizations shouldn’t be giving out cards. It’s an easy way to reveal the secret.

Anyway, back to these two franchises not ready for a crossover. Paramount Pictures still hasn’t found a solid footing with GI Joe! That franchise needs a complete reboot, it needs to stand on its own before crossing over with Transformers.

I’m seriously confused how Paramount Pictures hasn’t been able to figure out the GI Joe franchise. It’s such an easy franchise to play, but they keep messing it up! I wish they made some really great GI Joe movies before they start throwing Transformers into the mix!

Now, it appears that the entire G.I. Joe franchise retreading will take place in the Transformers universe. If that’s the plan, then both of them would have to start over. They should have completely ignored all of the Transformers AND GI Joe movies in the past and started a new journey from scratch.

There’s a lot going on to bring these two franchises together and to do it properly, they need to tell a cohesive story that makes sense to the two of them. Marvel Studios played the long game, which resulted in The Avengers movie. DC played the short game, which resulted in a Batman versus Superman AND Justice League. We all know which turned out to be better.

There are so many characters in the GI Joe and Transformers franchises to play with, there are more movies with each franchise that could be made with these characters, and those movies would lead to the epic crossover that fans would be excited about! There’s a clever way to do this, but by randomly flipping GI Joe at the end of The rise of the beasts it’s not the way. That’s how you set up another mediocre film.

Hey Paramount, if you want to know about a great way to run the GI Joe franchise and make some great movies, please give me a call. I want to see you make great movies with these franchises!
