Um...Snake Eyes's mask has lips.

Classic precedent, no less!

I agree that V2 ARAH Snake Eyes is the definitive version and I did not realize he had lips, but with that said...

I could give a rip about realism when it comes to stuff like G. I. Joe. If you’re wearing a VERY thin and VERY tight mask then yes, your lips will show, but it looks lame! If you can see all of your features under a mask, then what is the point of wearing a mask? The whole reason behind wearing one to begin with is to look scary and menacing. And movie Snake Eyes looks more like his mask is more like a helmet with molded parts, and so it looks like the lips are molded onto the front. And that is not cool my friends, not cool at all.

And Bat-nipples aren’t why that movie sucked, but they did make it A LOT worse when it didn’t seem possible for that movie to be worse.

Prime’s lips bothered me in Transformers as well. They just looked weird and out of place.

As I keep saying, they could change everything yet still make an excellent, emminently watchable film.

Power in optimism!!!

But I agree. those lips are... ugh.

Found a good photo of the Snake Eyes mask, without his visor. He has a very noticeable "sculpted rubber" face, which I'm not a huge fan of.

I wish they would error on the side of realism when making the costumes for this film. I think I would prefer a featureless cloth mask with goggles for Snake Eyes and modern military uniforms for the rest of the Joes compared to this "X-Men meets Starship Troopers" look.

Ah well, I'll still give the movie a chance. I hated the designs for the live-action Transformers and I hated the movie when I saw it in theaters, but I'm finally starting to warm up to it a little bit. Maybe the same thing will happen with this GI Joe movie.

But if the movie is crap, then at least we have the new GI Joe: Resolute cartoon to look forward to.
