>>9499736>a producer has almost no controlBig NOPE. Whatever went on, Hasbro likely had final say in whether the movie would be released as plan or get delayed.
And how do you know that Hasbro wouldn't fuck it up either? Again, they're a producer and had to approve everything. Just look at the awful shit IDW produces for GI Joe, despite everything needing to be approved by Hasbro as well.
Both Paramount and IDW are license holders, and everything a licencee produces has to go through Hasbro. With Hasbro as a producer, Hasbro is ACTIVELY involved with the movie, so that's an extra step (unlike with IDW) of involvement that could be DAILY.
You have to remember that whatever WE like, it was produced by Marvel, Sunbow (also Marvel), DIC, Larry Hama, and every designer/manager of the toyline. So there's so many hands involved that there's different levels of quality because it's all produced by different people, all going through Hasbro.
Also, I don't get the comparisons with Marvel, as if direct control ever mattered. Marvel also produced a ton of trash. Marvel basically had their own animation studio in the 80s and 90s (which Marvel Comic sides hated) and Marvel execs were actively involved in the 90s (Fox TV movies count) and early 00s live action movies
