I give Di Bonaventura credit. He's admitted to having to cater to both sides of the fence on this one. He also realizes and admits he has to be careful us fans, and he's trying.
I think out of all of them, he was honest enough to earn my respect. I don't care for all of what he said, but I have to give him his dues. He could've said "Screw you and the horse you rode in on, this is MY movie, and we're getting Krusty The Clown to voice Optimus Prime. Eat it." He didn't.
And to those of you who keep saying "Oh they admit they don't take it seriously, so then why do it?!" ...MONEY.
TransFormers is a big cashcow. Comics, toys, clothing, books, etc. You throw in a movie filled with explosions and a potentially good script (from what I read of the revised, but not final...it's pretty good. Not Oscar caliber, but good.) and it's going to make money.
You think they all signed on for this just because? Oh nay nay! No, they signed on for the money, but they're getting a crash course in seeing just how serious we as a fandom, really are.
...and they're starting to respect us, even if you're not willing to see it.
