Despite all the internet rumors running amok, I kept holding out hope that Hasbro, Hama, and Sommers would actually stay true to G.I.Joe, but unfortunately, I was wrong. I picked up the novelization the other day and am very very disappointed. Originally, I was really confused as to why they would bring in Ripcord and why they would rewrite the character as black instead of bringing in an iconic character like Stalker. Now, all I can say is that I am glad Stalker was not corrupted by Marlon Wayans.
Yes, it is Deeb Snails with a gun. And more horribly, the rumors about Scarlett and Snake Eyes being "more like brother and sister" are true, by Scarlett's own words. And even worse, there is a budding relationship between Scarlett and Ripcord including a kiss. It appears that the writers and director have decided that 25 plus years of G.I.Joe history means nothing to the overly cliche need to be "edgy" by shoving an interracial relationship with no basis whatsoever down our throats. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against interracial relationships, but I see no point in undoing a major factor of G.I.Joe to force one to happen.
Sadly, it appears that Ripcord's part was written specifically For Marlon Wayons, and I expect that he will take what they gave him and make it worse. What could have been a great movie seems to be doomed to fall to another bout of Wayans slapstick ghetto comedy.
