The interview with Marlon Wayans may be old news but might be interesting for those who haven't seen it yet. He seems to be very enthusiastic about the film but not very knowledgeable. Quote: "I play Rip Cord. He basically wants to be a pilot but he's stuck doing this GI Joe stuff because of his boy...Duke wants to go do GI Joe and do GI Joe and I eventually get to fly a plane and save the world. Yo Joe." WTF!
Wow, has anyone prepared for this film? I also saw some online article that described his character as the leader of GI Joe. Does anyone do research anymore? Well, here's the link: One on One with Marlon Wayans: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra | Hollyscoop |

Ripcord is not the leader, but everything Wayans said is true. When you see the movie, it will make sense.

the filecard for the Rip Cord movie figure mentions him as a pilot as well, so this shouldn't be a surprise.
this is why all the people clamoring that the character was intended to be Stalker are just ridiculous. the name of the character was arbitrary, he doesn't resemble either Rip Cord or Stalker. but because a black actor was cast it must have been intended to be a black character, and the fans started making up reasons to make it all make sense, like the name Stalker having negative connotations, and then they started to believe their own lies as if they were true. the entire reasoning was backwards, not that I should have been surprised by that. the point is, there is nothing about the Rip Cord character that resembles any character from RAH. it wasn't a matter of reasearch, it was a matter of not caring. they slapped a popular name on a new character and had at it. |

They should have just named him Rampage. We really know nothing about Rampage but the name is cool. My Ripcord figure witll be an updated Rampage. Just instead of Duke's buddy he's Beachhead's buddy. His filecard has him as a E-8 Master Sgt. So I can see the confusion of him being the leader. It also has him as a pilot. Although Master Sgts don't fly planes or Helicopters, that's neither here nor there. Rambo was a Master Sgt and he could fly a Helicopter. Zap was a Sgt and he could fly a Helicopter in the Marvel comics.

Keep that in mind while watching the movie.

Every Joe in the 80's cartoon could fly a plane or at least a Skyhawk...
