this is not a bash the movie or defend the movie thread...this is a thread to see what direction, before there was any info about the movie, you had hoped a Joe movie would take...
everytime there is any thread where the topic is RoC, the anti-RoC say they wished it would have been more like the classic ARAH...and then the Pro-RoC say if that had happened it would have been goofy...but i'm not sure any anti-RoC fan was hoping for a DIRECT translation of cartoon/comic to film as it would have been goofy...so, i give you some choices...what were your hopes for the direction a Joe movie would take when/if it ever got green lit? -Direct translation of toon/comic, with the exact story lines, plots, and costumes carried over to live action. -a modernized update of the classic toons/comics, minus the silliness, bad aim, ridiculous plots and diologue...with updates to the costumes much like what we have seen in Resolute. -a completely new take with basically only the names (and SE, SS, and the Baroness) in common with G.I.*JOE...very modernized...new stories, plots, looks, everything! -something else, but i'm not sure what... if you would like to debate the movie, follow one of the below links... - http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...vie-vs-s6.html - http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-roc-suck.html Last edited by G.I.Eddie; 05-07-2009 at 03:17 PM.. |

I would have like somewhere in the middle of:
"-a modernized update of the classic toons/comics, minus the silliness, bad aim, ridiculous plots and diologue...with updates to the costumes much like what we have seen in Resolute. -a completely new take with basically only the names (and SE, SS, and the Baroness) in common with G.I.*JOE...very modernized...new stories, plots, looks, everything!" Personally, I'm tired of the same stories. I want to see new things. I'm tired of there having to be a SE/SS duel in every incarnation of Joe. So I would have liked to have seen new plots/ideas but with modernized outfits so the characters have their basic recognizability.

Did you read the thread? No bashing or pro RoC.
He was asking what you had hoped a live action Joe movie would have been like. Edit: Didn't take long for an anti-RoC to tote the company line. Sometimes I think people see "RoC" and get blinded to everything else in a thread. I had to vote "something else entirely" because my choice wasn't in the list.

Well I like the premise...the Rise Of Cobra kind of like a ground floor origin story....but I was hoping for a more adult oriented present day representation. Not talking about T&A or anything just more realistic scenarios/consequences without the totally unbelievable James Bond type equipment/gadgetry.
I understand why they put it in the future..to avoid any correlation with politics/conflicts of today...I just hope its not too over the top cheese.

Honestly something more akin to resolute where the team had their individual outfits, easily recognizeable as those particular charcaters (aside from the obvious changes to dial tone and ripcord which those still sucked) yet were a little more updated.

I'd have preferred if to see a lot of classic vehicles make it into the movie and for them to give us a story line and characters that are consistent with what we already know about the franchise.
GI Joe A Real American hero may not have a lot of international appeal but GI Joe an International Hero doesn't appeal to me, an American, at all. As a "beginning" they should have had Duke, Stalker, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Gung Ho, Roadblock, Rock & Roll, Wild Bill, Tripwire and maybe Torpedo and Snow Job. Instead we get a retarded Ripcord (who seems to have laid in a tanning bed a bit too long) and Heavy Duty (who comes straight from the cartoon series that most Joe fans would not wish on their worst enemies). I would also have liked to see the Joes in more traditional military gear instead of the lame ass X Men suits. If we can accept the fact that an attack chopper can fly without a prop or engines then why can't we accept the fact that there might be a secret branch in the military that does not have matching uniforms? |

My choice isn't really there; cool toys, a boost for the brand, nerds crying, hot chicks. I think I'm getting all of that.
But for the movie itself; a modern updating that keeps the emotional core of the characters intact (ie, a deep but troubled bond between SE and Storm Shadow). I don't care about the outfits because what a character WEARS is not who a character IS.

I wanted something new, and got that with RoC. New origin for Cobra, new origin for Joe, etc..
