In a true nothingburger of a story, media sites across the web are reporting on 2 phrases uttered by Lorenzo di Bonaventura during his press tour for his latest failure, Madame Web. When asked when we'd hear more about the Transformers/GI Joe crossover, Bonaventura said he didn't know. All he knows is that they will one day make good on their promise. Now if that means Gi Joe characters in the next Transformers movie or an actual crossover film, that seems to be all up in the air with nothing to speak of as of yet. The main take away is that we won't be learning more of this for a while but the idea has not been dropped.
You can see the underwhelming 5 second clip of him saying that in the following link: https://comicbook.com/movies/news/trans ... naventura/

"The honest truth is I don't know," di Bonaventura told us. "I know we are going to deliver on the promise we made."

The crossover is a neat concept, and was back when it was just those Marvel comics. But I never liked the artwork in those comics. Granted, I doubt I could do much better. But the way they were drawn just lacked energy. Like in the cover.
If it weren't for the explosion star in the background, it would look as if Bumblebee was simply flying apart gently in quiet wind. He's standing perfectly straight, giving no sign that the bullets and tank shells slamming into him have any kinetic impact at all. And what's Flint doing in the foreground? Directing traffic? And that tank barrel up at the top left - what is the tank itself standing on?
A crossover that epic deserved artwork that was equally epic, and frankly much of the art across the entire comic series was sub-standard.

My primary familiarity with the crossover concept comes from the IDW 2005 continuity, which was one of my least favorite parts of the whole continuity.
That said, I've been reading Skybound's Energon Universe and it seems to be handling it pretty well so far.

Why do you consider Madame Web a failure?

That tank barrel is probably supposed to be just really high in the air like 9-12 ft and extending over the viewer's head, like the tank is kind of behind the camera view position and to the left a bit, and the barrel is coming in from over the shoulder at that height.
That said, some of the late comics when the budget was running out from marvel era did have some terrible artwork, a few were so sketchy you could barely tell what was happening toward the end.

It does have an early critics score of 16% on Rotten Tomatoes, and while RT is not always indicative of a movie's quality, a score that low is pretty remarkable.

I heard that RT isn't reliable, not least because the major studios use bot armies and shills to manipulate ratings.

I mean, I could see that being used to falsely boost RT scores, but I don't know what the major studios would stand to gain from using bots to sink a movie's ratings. It's not like there were any other major movies competing with Madame Web's theatrical run or anything.
