Exact ally, and this premise makes sense on at least two accounts.
#1, Like I said earlier in my post, the Beginning/Rise of CC has to start somewhere and it only makes sense to start from the beginning, no? Look at it this way, this is a back story. The movies job in regards to CC is to show the *TRANSFORMATION* key word, from Rex into CC. That in itself is a process which takes TIME and in my estimation doesn't even actually transpire until late in the movie. Towards the end and upon being disfigured/scarred CC now needs the assistance of a breathing apparatus etc.... FOR THE TIME BEING Destro hooks him up to a crude, but yet sufficient device that simply keeps him alive, but yet also shows the audience first hand the tragedy of what has transpired without being hidden behind a hood/faceplate. This also leaves room for the movie to evolve into a sequel as the audience wants to see more, but as of now, does not. Also....... In Spiderman #1 did Peter Parker's flashy new costume just happen to be hanging out in his closet next to a pair of Wranglers or did it have to be constructed? I believe he initially wore uninteresting pajamas/sweats. In Ironman, did Tony Stark stroll on down to Walmart to pick up the Mark II or did he spend countless hours, money, and research testing and perfecting it. I could easily see in TIME, a slick high tech chrome-like faceplate with a specialized viewing lens and breathing apparatus built into a faceplate/helmet of sorts like we know implemented into the story at some point. Point being, these things take TIME give it a chance. Optimism seems to lack on this board. Point #2. From a business perspective the last thing the movie wants to do is to let the cat out of the bag right off the bat by throwing everything at the audience at once. Now I'm not saying that this is going to happen, but wouldn't it make sense to maybe hint at the faceplate/hood at the VERY end of "Rise of Cobra" for the reasons listed, rather then have CC wear it in the very FIRST movie? You guys may not like it that way, but I'll tell you what, that's how I'd do it. Show the audience just a bit...but not too much which leaves them coming back for more. It's apparent that many of you are disgruntled about a bunch of stuff and rightly so, but the issue regarding the mask at THIS particular point and time is VERY premature. Give the movie time, give the sequel time, let it evolve. You may end up being more pleasantly surprised then you initially thought when it's all said and done. Just because you haven't seen it yet, by all means DOES NOT mean that you never will. |

the more I look at it the more I like it. besides if he looked like his classic version we'd have yet another CC pegwarmer clogging up shelves. I would love a 3.75'' version of the sideshow CC. give him interchangable heads and we're in business.

I understand that they may have wanted to make cc look different for the movie, but they really make him look like crap here. It's like they went "lets make him look like a asthmatic, cancer patient dressed up in a pimp suit with random tubes coming out of this head."

Multiple SUCK.
Let's just go ahead and change/redesign and throw out 25+ years of the key figure in the Cobra universe and make him completely unrecognizable and stripped of his original design. I'd rather down a diahreah milkshake courtesy of an Undertow trooper. |
