IMHO, I feel its too late to jump on the 80's Nostalgia bandwagon. Production should already be wrapped and a date for this year should be set. However, given how fads and trends work...I believe that "ship has sailed". Time to sit down with a new creative team and do it...the difficult way.
So wait 2 years and start building the creatives in charge of this project. In 2020, begin anew and *start from scratch* - build an entirely NEW GI Joe franchise. Do not "reboot" any of the so-called "iconic" characters because ultimately none of these guys are that!
Rather go ahead and create NEW CHARACTERS that are INSPIRED (key here!) inspired by the older characters, that we all know and love. For example, create a new GI Joe blacked-out commando/ninja...except he can remove his mask and can freely speak lines. Do you get it?
The inspiration can come from the 80's ARAH. The team should be Americans, however, they can colab with international forces in their mission against an all new (new-age) "enemy". The bad guys don't have to be called Cobra and they don't have to be referred to by the "T-word". This is a modern enemy that uses different methods to attain their goals. (social media? and certainly hacking) However, they can operate and have all the zaniness of the 80's Cobras that we love. For example, they can be led by a set of twins in charge of a red clad army, maybe? Of course, a biker gang (inspired by the 'knocks) could be so awesome and original AF!
IMHO, that's how they should resurrect the franchise we love.
