Should'nt the movie have Stalker insted of Ripcord as a leading Character? That way it would be atleast closer to the Orginal Joes...
Also Insted of Heavy Duty there should be Roadblock or even Rock and Roll.... |

I think movie Ripcord is just Stalker renamed.
When we were kids the word "Stalker" did not have the conotations it does now. I think it's still a cool name. I will just pretend he is Stalker when I see the movie. YOOOO JOE!

It's not supposed too be based off the Original team. In fact if you want it to be closer to the original team it'd be Stalker instead of Duke.

I had read in an interview online that they changed his name because it sounded like it should be a bad guy's name and they did not want to confuse new audiences.
They had basically said it had a negative connotation, especially for a good guy. So they dropped the name because it was viewed as too bad/negative. That is the definitive reason why he's called "ripcord." Last edited by MLos1; 02-09-2009 at 08:24 AM.. |

I would have preferred Stalker myself. I mean if they wanted an African American soldier, he makes more sense to me than changing Ripcord. From what the rumors are from both the IDW comic guys and other sources, Heavy Duty is Roadblock but I guess Hasbro lost the trademark on Roadblock thus he now will be referred to as Heavy Duty. This is seen in the comics where its clearly Roadblock drawn but called Heavy Duty.

Remember, this movie is set slightly in the future. If they touch upon the Vietnam era, it would be thru Hawk's character, because he's the oldest. |

so he's black, big deal. no reason to be color blind. If i'm not mistaken, did Ripcord in the comics ever do or say anything that was "white"? Would the comic have changed in any way if the artist used a darker shade of ink on Ripcord?
