I can answer. SE is French in the script. The nationality of the clan & of SS is not stated - therefore, I assume either Japanese (more likely) or Chinese (less likely, but still valid). The Korean thing is because the SS actor is Korean.
If people want the details of a character's histories in the comics to be in the movie, too bad. It's not there. Basically they took the character concepts, possibly a few key characteristics (yes, SE's got a special bond between him & Scarlett, but she likens it to a sibling-like bond), & built from there. But what about the movie's spirit? Should fans expect to see a live-action version of the cartoon, an update on the Marvel comics, or something else entirely? According to Goldner, Sommers and crew want to take filmgoers back a couple of decades: "Steve Sommers is very different. But he's perfect, because if you think about his movies like 'The Mummy,' it's the perfect action/adventure movie. If you think about what we're trying to do for G.I. Joe, really bringing back that '80s G.I. Joe from the Marvel comics -- those first 155 issues are really our focus. If you think about that, you'll understand what we're trying to get at with all those characters and all the intricate relationships. I don't think you'd see this movie as wacky. I think you're going to see this movie as being inspirational for younger kids and totally in the sweet spot for the guys who grew up on G.I. Joe." So I guess he was mistaken or totally lied about the movie! |

um...two words "battlestar galactica". in the old series boomer was an African American male, now the character is an Asian American female. starbuck was a dude, now the character is a girl. At first fans didn't like this but now (most of them) like the change. and like BSG this movie is a REIMAGINING of the 80's gijoe. you can't say this movie is going to be bad because of some changes, you can say the movie is bad because you have seen it and it is just a bad movie (not saying it is going to be bad, I am looking forward to it)

You can bet you last dollar that you'll see this statement in the future, guaranteed. People have already made that decision. You'll have your people that love it, and your people that hate it.
You'd think that people that are supposedly "Fans" of something would give it the benefit of the doubt until they see it, regardless of what they've seen or heard to this point, but no. IT'S NOT MY G.I. JOE AND MY CHILDHOOD IS RUINED. *As i play my violin* When your favorite sports team changes it's jersey/logo, arena, players etc. Do you automatically head for the hills or stand by them? I'm not saying that you have to like the changes, but as a "Fan" you should at least be giving it, *the movie* the benefit of the doubt. Change is inevitable, it occurs in every aspect of life. Most of the "haters" that have convinced themselves that the film will "suck" are right. It will suck for "them" because that's how they choose to think and have a predetermined mindset on the matter, so the result is obvious. |

This is the 3rd and last time I will post this:
If you don't like the thought of the movie and the bits & pieces you've seen so far, there's a thread made for your thoughts. Leave the negativity out of this thread. |

lol, yeah I was going back and forth whether to say boomer was a cylon and decided that I would just sound like a nerd (though I probably am) and I didn't know Ty was African American.
