Why do you sound drunk?

And a debate is fine, but you seem more interested in stating a point and then flaunting your knowledge about to anybody who argues with you.
Not to mention you seem extremely passionate about something that's actually pretty trivial.

All this "debating" would have been avoided had your first post in this thread been like this one.

I think a lot of people (myself included) viewed your first post as making a mountain out of a mole hill because of the wording.

Here's to hoping the movie makes ALL Joe fans happy!

And there's the key, and the reason this whole argument is ridiculous. We have no idea if the character is going to be Heavy Duty or Roadblock or some composite of both, or which character he is going to be primarily based on. And so what if he's called Heavy Duty? Can anyone give a single logical reason why the code-name of a fictional character in a movie that is still in the casting stage is a reason to be panicked and outraged?

And really, what do you expect? That Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is going to be in a $170 million movie spouting stupid rhymes because that's what Roadblock did in the cartoon? Is that what anyone wants? I sure hope not.

The movie is going to be different from the cartoons and comics. Period. Several people have already said that, but I figure it never hurts to keep repeating it.

Out of every single Joe character in the Joe Universe, why the heck did they pick Heavy Duty?
because he has BECOME a significant part of G.I. Joe in the last 7 years, and there will be plenty of people in the audience who will recognize him. the movie may be based heavily on the concepts from the original cartoon and comics, but that doesn't mean it is going to follow it to a tee. this is a new telling based on old concepts.

I am certain that the film makers aren't analyzing appearances from the cartoon and comic to determine who and what will be in it and when. it is arbitrary and silly to say only characters who appeared in the cartoon before Serpentor should be in the movie when the fact is G.I. Joe is much bigger than that narrow view. the problem isn't Hasbro for not adhering to your arbitrary and narrow opinion, it is your arbitrary and narrow opinion.

we are all glad you are here to voice your opinion and debate the subject so passionately, but unfortunately you still have not provided one sound reason why the character should not be Heavy Duty.

all I've gotten from this thread is that deathvalleymachine is a pompous old sh*t. dude, grow the hell* up and stop throwing a temper tantrum cause others aren't crying about no Roadblock.

Heavy Duty is a mainstream character from the original ARAH. he also is big from the past lines which will gives him name recognition. which will help the movie and ultimately the brand.

and on a side note, put on one post.....not four

So are you going to see the movie regardless of casting and all other things Hasbro does that you don't like or have you "thrown your ticket out"? Just saying, take a stance and stick with it.

Wow. What craziness here. I don't think anyone is jumping for joy that it is Heavy Duty over Roadblock. HOWEVER, I am sure there is a reason... The reasonable answer lies somewhere in a possible copyright fiasco, name infringement, a tie into the later fans of GIJOE...etc, etc.

I really hope that Steven Sommers doesn't go about intentionally alienating GIJOE fans like Michael Bay did to TF fans. I guess well know if Destro is entirely covered in spikes.

The Heavy Duty will most likely look like Roadblock... the actor cast resembles RB ten times more than HD.

Using Heavy Duty instead of Roadblock is pretty annoying and I think people should whine about it as much as they can.
