I'm going to have to disagree with the idea that "The problem ... with the first film was it strayed to far from the source." What source, exactly? This is where I think some fans need to realize that G.I. Joe was more than just a comic book. There are all sorts of G.I. Joe "universes."
I remember when ROC came out and people complained that the movie wasn't "real-life" like the comic. Then I would point out that the comic contained a sci-fi element from the start: Giant robot with micro (nano) bots crawling out of its head; under water bases; jet-pack backpacks, etc. Even in the toys you had these hybrid (surgically altered) bad guys.
Sure, I didn't like the Cobra Commander backstory, but I felt that the story as a whole blended ideas from all manifestations of G.I. Joe. You had the "life-like hair and a kung-fu grip" comment which was a shout-out to the original 12" line. The accelerator suits reminded me of Sigma Six. The idea of G.I. Joe being an international team was dealt with in the DIC cartoon series.
I just don't know if people are that familiar with the line anymore to make a G.I. Joe blockbuster film though. The line definitely needs some life breathed into it though!
