Yeah, that's what I'd like to see. I team with some removable dive gear and land gear.

Those cards are horrible. Really really really bad. Can I forget they exist?

I agree that the cards are a little disappointing compared to the old cards. However, I don't really have a problem with Duke being an officer. It's my understanding that Larry Hama originally wanted the character to be an officer and wanted to keep Stalker as the top soldier.

*waves hand* These aren't the file cards you're looking for.

I just have a problem with the movie Duke being that high ranking. HE'S TOO YOUNG!!!
I don't mind Tatum as Duke, think he makes a good one for a younger Duke. And since it's more of an origin movie, and from what I understand of the script, Duke wouldn't be the Top Sarge of the Joe team yet anyways. So it's fine. But to make him a Major??? And it's against the core concept of Duke, who is the enlisted man's man, never took a commission, etc.. I've never promoted him because of that (which is why he's outranked by alot in my Joeverse but he's still the Top Sarge). I'm all for change, but not when it changes the core concept of that character.

As for a relaunch I guess it's a good starting point. At least it makes more sense for him to be in charge. But then again Duke is a 0-7 in my Joeverse. So Marlon becomes the Stalker character? I don't know. What would be hilarious is if at the end of the movie, Stalker (Samuel L Jackson) shows up as the Top Sergeant.

I like what they're trying to make the Sgt. Stone character (so now Duke outranks him??). He's the team trainer and I can see an international team needing a guy like that, to take all the varied training regimens and combat tactics of the different units worldwide and make them mix and match and work together.

Making Duke an officer in and of itself isn't what bothers me. I agree with Troynos in that it kind of betrays what the character is all about. He's also too young. It's that lack of understanding about the characters that worries me about the movie. And I've really been trying to maintain an open mind about it.

I made two simple body swaps and created two cool SEALs. Put Muskrat's head on Dial-Tones torso/arms and Muskrat's waist legs. The green blends perfectly. Then I put Pathfinder's head on Muskrat's torso/arms and Dial-Tone's waist/legs. I'll put up some pics when I get the chance.
