TF fans got the cartoon voice for Optimus. Then the poor guy had to deal with horrible jokes. The fans could not get the original voice of Megatron. One small victory - so many greater crimes done to this awesome childhood memory.
Joe fans get SE who doesn't speak and is a ninja. But in virtually no other way is he SE. The connection to SS is completely different. The connection to Scarlett - completely different. Even why he doesn't speak is different. He is less the incredibly heroic soldier and now more a robotic creature who doesn't express pain or remorse. The comic SE could express so much in a panel - you knew SE was happy/sad/confused/ambivalent. The movie - nothing. And the comic didn't even show his mouth!
My point is this: the fans won virtually nothing. In a way, hearing what Hollywood gave the fans for all their concerns is worse because without Optimus' voice or SE silence, the movies would be even further removed from our memories. As is, TF makes me sad. GI Joe COULD have a good sequel with a more comic-driven direction. But there were no victories for the fans that I can see. Not yet, anyway.
