So in the other thread people are saying they are going to support this upcoming film because it will help revitalize GI JOE and bring us even more characters and vehicles. Good point thats is possible. However the more likely scenario is that in supporting THIS movie and toy line the signal being sent will be...oh this is the version of GI JOE that everyone wants as lets make a white doc, a white stalker, a white roadblock, a black flint, a muslim lady jaye, an alien dr mindbender etc etc etc. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to see what made the original line great in a modern day adaptation. To say oh they shouldnt make any changes is yes absurd because if they were all true to their 80's origins none of em would be on the team they'd all be desk jockeys by now since most were already 30 summin to beginf with. But did no one see the punisher? his origin wasnt NAM IT WAS DESERT STORM. Could using a more recent war be out of the question? could actually getting the look, origins and style of what made these characters so great too much to ask without them changing EVERYTHING to the point that the only thing this has in common with gi joe is a few characters names and the title. I understand that things succumb to pollitcal crooectness but when they do, such as this movie obvisouly has, instead of saying oh lets support it so they keep the line going, which hasbro has already said the modern classic style line is being put on "hiatus", essentially cancelled, to make way for the crappy movie stuff, lets NOT support something just because it has the label of gi joe when its truly not the franchise we were expecting it to be. why support something crappy when they should be making it they way it was told to us it would be?
