RayH,
i can't speak for all of the "haters" but i can say that, i personally don't think, nor have i ever said that the G.I.Joe franchise has any sort of deeper meaning in what it is or was. you are right, in that it is a toy commercial (which is awesome because we'll get more figs from it), but just because it is used to sell toys doesn't mean it has to be a brain dead movie (you pointed out yourself the comics were well written and somewhat mature for showcasing new Joes). for me personally, i don't like that they have thrown out 26 years of mythos and just re-invented, or re-imagined, or re-booted, or whatever the latest buzz word hollywood is throwing about these days, almost everything except for the character names. for as much as people thumbed their nose at S6, when you saw a duke figure, you knew it was duke. when you saw zartan, there was no question who he was. for the most part, the characters relationships amongst one another were the same as they had been since we were all little shits eating fruit roll ups and hoping that flint could bail out of the skystriker in time. ******spoiler alert****** there's no reason to make snake eyes a french ninja who took a vow of silence when storm shadow killed his master. why does ripcord and scarlet have to have a flirty romance? why is the baroness CC's sister and duke's ex-fiance? why is destro's mask not a family heirloom, but a living nano-mite mask to cover up his burned face? and more on topic...why does the fraking trailer have to show the climactic ending of the 2nd act's chase sequence? none of that makes any sense to me. |

if the real G.I. Joe goes away when the movie is released, will you go with it and leave us fake fans with our fake G.I. Joe to enjoy it in peace?
better yet, mods, can we get a real Joe fan forum that the real fans go post in? us fake fans will keep the rest of the board, though.

Dood, your life must suck... super-bad. Everyone can see the anger and complete hate for everything in all your angst-filled words. I feel bad for you, hope you find someone or find something someday that will make you whole. How you are still a member here is beyond me. |
