And I haven't said one think about that part of this thread either. I don't mind people not liking the film, that's your opinion however uninformed at this point it is. But trying to tell me to buy a ticket to another movie if I want to see this one? Stupid.
So you're right I guess, kudos to you, even tho it goes to show nothing. Edit: Added in words to complete sentence one, apparently typed too fast.

I'm hardly an extreme fanboy zealot but as a life-long fan of G.I.Joe and action movies, I believe based on the absolute crap that I've been privy to so far, that this film will BLOW ASS and that it will be a huge detriment to the property. I've been daydreaming about how cool a live action joe movie would be for the past 26 years. I think we deserved a much better effort from everyone involved.
The fact that you sit and daydream about this, and allow it to affect you so deeply...wow. That speaks more for your own situation than for any wrongdoing on Hasbro's part.

I hear you there, I figured I'd be saving a ton of money not collecting any ROC figs but I didn't realize they'd be releasing so many, a few of which actually look decent. Looking like I'll be picking some up after all. DOH!

But...but...it's always been a franchise geared for kids. Our nostalgia for the franchise doesn't change that simple reality. Hasbro gave us Resolute, and then produced this for the mass market.

I think you all are being a tad bit ridiculous. What you're essentially doing is encouraging the end of the Joe line. I honestly could care less what you all think, since you haven't seen the movie, but what you're proposing is for people to not see the movie because it's not YOUR GI Joe, and in turn putting an end to the line and hobby that you supposedly love. The GI Joe franchise is riding on this movie, and has been stated as such. Are you so damn bitter about it not being what you envisioned that you'd rather see the line die, out of some sick sense of selfishness? Why are you even in this hobby if you act this way about it? It makes zero sense. Even a couple of my close friends in the hobby who haven't liked what they've seen yet (and they are in the minority) will readily admit that even though they don't like it they really hope it will succeed in order for the GI Joe brand to grow. It's mainly because they have some shred of intelligence and common sense, which seems to be sorely lacking in this idea of boycotting the movie. It's the kind of idea most people left behind in 6th grade when you tried to boycott a class because you didn't like the teacher. If you don't like the movie, fine, whatever, but please, try to act like an adult and actually do the community some good by tamping down the whole hulking out with nerd rage thing. I think that, not the movie, is what's embarrassing.

Yes I sit and daydream about it all day every day. It's all I do. I only get up from it to check the mail and wash my ass. Otherwise I am in a complete state of half consciousness, thinking about the beloved G.I.Joe movie in my head and how wonderful it would be! So tell me Dr. Analyzer, how bad off am I? I mean is my "situation" terminal?
But seriously, what's the point of hating on this...I mean, really now? Step back, kill a couple hours of your summer and walk away. Obsessively hating on a done deal is fully pointless.
