I was thinking - with Stranger Things being a huge hit - and with the nostalgia factor riding high - now is a perfect time to have a new take at live-action GIJoe.
Take the Marvel Cinematic Universe as inspiration. They use the comics as inspiration for their movies - but combine elements, move them around - rework them. Use the classic Larry Hama series as inspiration. ............ Open in 1982 - A nuclear scientist is being transported on a train. Scarlett and Snake Eyes are there to protect the scientist. Cool fights happen. She's kidnapped. Joe's regroup under the Fort Wadsworth Motor Pool. Two new members are being added to the team - Lady Jaye and Flint. Lots of the rest of the team is already in place - Roadblock, Rock n Roll, Duke, and so on. Someone makes a comment about how they dress really casual - there is no dress-code in GIJoe... its a top-secret unit, so there are no military regulations. (make the show self-aware... poke fun at the ridiculousness of some of it and play it up) Cobra is run from Springfield. CC and Baroness travel to Scotland to buy arms from Destro. Destro has a history with Baroness. The Joes and Cobra fight a couple more times... then the end of the movie, they use their kidnaped Nuclear Scientist to create a nuclear explosion in the center of the Gulf of Mexico - creating Cobra Island. .................. This is all I've got. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard. Make it fun - kinda off-kilter and self-aware. A throwback to the oddness of the 1980's. "Hi-Tech" stuff would be green-screen computers that run DOS. No cell phones, No internet, etc. As Stranger Things does with Sci-Fi / Horror - use the 1980's action movies as a reference point. Cobra, Predator, Terminator, Aliens, American Ninja, The A-Team. |

It'd be a hit. But with good writers, director and photography.

Shit, I've basically written this story. Who wants to bankroll me to make this happen?

This is pretty much exactly the story I would have gone with, too. It’s all laid out there in the original comics.

Unless you are willing to put Bazooka on screen with a red t-shirt with a white number 14, I doubt it is film inspired in the 80's. Duke with his shirt, Snake-Eyes with his dog, Spirit talking with the stereotypical "indian" form and Lifeline with an actual red and white outfit, that would be an 80's inspired film.
How things go on the movies today, expect a gay Duke a white Doc and a black Footlose. PD: I do not have anything against gay, white or black, just telling that the way how movies are done today is precisely disregarding the thing from where the inspiration supposedly came. |

Hey! That's a good idea a good choice. I've enjoy looking up and reading the comic books of the 80s and enjoy the cartoons that are also from the 80s and most of all I like about the figures and vehicles that came from the 80s.
A GI Joe live action TV series instead of a movie so we might want to see all our favorite characters of GI Joe, Cobra and the Dreadnoks 1982-1985. Would you want to see a GI Joe live action TV series with the Joes, Cobra to look similar to their vintage toy counterparts? Check out the Marvel character Psylocke from X-Men Apocalypse her costume look very close and almost the same as her comic book counterpart.

Would it be a hit as a live action TV series? No need for another live action movie since too many characters created. I do like the 80s GI Joe 1982-1987 very much. Most of all must have a real good script and writer. Who would you want to see in a live action TV series anyway?
