I think it is safe to assume that the majority of us here would have preferred the movie to contain classic characterizations of the characters (even if slightly modified) with classic inspired versions of their uniforms (not identical per se, but at least reminiscent). so, voicing that is unnecessary and off-topic and anyone who mentions that here is trolling and mods please ban them.
so, with that best case scenrio clearly not an option in Stephen Sommers mind, what would have been the lesser of two evils for you guys -- classic characterizations of the characters (even if slightly modified) with drastically different uniforms. or new characterizations of the characters but with classic inspired versions of their uniforms (not identical per se, but at least reminiscent). using Cobra Commander as an example because of the recent unveiling of his look. would he have been more tolerable as the character from the comic but in this new uniform, or as the mad disfigured military scientist but in his classic visor or hood? Let Paramount and Stephen Sommers know where they went wrong! Last edited by gunslingercbr; 03-29-2009 at 03:31 PM.. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with changing the look (Face it, the classic X-men uniforms were never gonna work on the big screen), if the changes are great.
Great is not the term i'd use when it comes to the Joe costumes. The Joes themselves aren't bad, it's just the blue Joe/digital camo is lame. There's no redeeming the Cobra Commander design. I'm glad they didn't do the chrome dome/hood look, but what they went with certainly isn't the answer either. |

I went with Classic Characterization w/ New Look.
I can handle a new uniform as long as the character feels like the character.

I've found that most movies in this vein that change the costumes usualy change for the better. Transformers, X-men, F4, to some extent Iron-man and Watchmen. But when the character is fundamentaly changed (Batman & Robin, Hulk, Constantine) it usually ends up... not so good.
I have to say, I hate what they did to poor CC. But if they can make him an emotionaly complex character, and above all with GOOD MOTIVATION, then I won't whine about him when this finally comes out... On the other hand, it looks like they didn't sacrafice looks OR characterization for Snake Eyes. Cool...

My vote goes new characterization but classic look. the toys, for the most part to me, are a blank slate, and I made up my own stories. but there look is what is most important to me.

clearly i agree Gun...
lets take Lifeline for instance...he's a pacifist, but if they decided to make him into a tough guy, i'd be cool with that more than i would if they changed his uniform to black or maybe even blue scrubs... |
