Opening scene during the Vietnam War, Tommy carrying Snake Eyes on his back while their Sergeant, Lonzo Wilkinson, is on the chopper laying down cover fire. Fade to black...
Next scene (still in the mid 70's) we see a slimy, unscrupulous used car salesman's wife telling him she's leaving and taking their son, Billy, with her. The next morning, still drunk from the previous night's drinking, we see him driving off. Fade to black...
Then spend 1/2 hour going through the development of Cobra (basically a montage, don't need to spend too much time on it), and the subsequent formation of GI Joe from the mid-70's to the early 80's (see Hawk and Stalker going around recruiting Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Zap, Grunt, etc.), and then jump into some serious action. Maybe even show the first mission in the helicopter where Snake Eyes gets scarred.
Use the early comic issues as a playbook, don't overthink it. But it has to be in the 80's. Of course they could move the Tommy/Stalker/Snake Eyes relationship to Iraq or Afghanistan, but I think that would be a real shame.
Maybe I'm super-biased, but be true to the early Hama comics and I think it could be a huge success. Those stories had great action, great characters, and great heart.
