Joe from the Marvel comics -- those first 155 issues are really our focus" and that it will be "totally in the sweet spot" for the 80's guys. This is a new GI Joe, and they make no bones about it.
he is clearly talking about the broader aspects and not the specific details of the executions. he talks about intricate character relationships like the comics -- the movie has that. he talks about being inspirational for kids -- reviews are blatantly stating that kids will like it as much as we liked in when we were kids. sweet spot for adults -- plenty of us are geeked about it, even if not all of us, so that is applicable as well. if it turns out the grumps are the exception and not the rule, than his statement is even more accurate because he certainly isn't attempting to say everybody, just a majority.
at no point does he say they are recreating the 155 issue series, he says they are using it as a base, and this movie clearly does in regards to the specific elements he does bring up.
Goldface either simply doesn't posses the comprehension and analytical abilities to understand what is stated blatantly or is simply being dishonest in his assertion that the quote means something it doesn't. either way, it is tired and doesn't mean what he says it means so bringing it up is irrelevant and borderline trolling.
