Well- here's my 2 cents.
Based on everything I've seen or heard regarding the Joe movie, it will indeed probably suck. Hard.
In no particular order of suckiness:
1) All traces of classic origin thrown out for... a Duke/Baroness/Cobra Commander love triangle of some kind? Ho hum...
2) We sh*tcan the distinctive, individualized uniforms in favor of XMen/Matrix/etc,etc black leather? How original! How 90's!!! Ho hum...
3) Corporate political correctness at it's greediest and most cowardly with "International GI Joe!" Sick...
4) Obviously elements have to be changed and updated but it seems as though there is NO ONE AT THE WHEEL behind this movie making an effort to retain ANY "classic" feel, look or philosophy.
On the bright side, Hasbro and IDW have decided for a complete restart on GI Joe's new comic next year so maybe some of our pesky nostalgia for our classic stories and characters will fade away when the original storyline is OFFICIALLY DEAD AND BURIED. Of course, a few simple retcons here and there would have been more than enough to carry the classic characters into the future but hell no! That only works for EVERY OTHER FREAKING COMIC PROPERTY ON EARTH>>>!!
It's all just sooo sad... But I'm just pretending the movie does not exist and continuing to enjoy 25th anniversary toys... which are impossible to find... I bet the movie toys won't be hard to find at all though.
