Suggestions for pulling the ROC Joe-Verse closer to its source material:
1. Recast Destro. I've nothing against Christopher Eccleston personally. Let him do the voice even but put it through a modulator deepening it. But cast a physical performer with a wrestler's build, and redesign the metal mask/skin. Give it silver pupilless eyes. Just explain that the nano-mites had not completed his physical reboot. 2. Have Wild Weasel in a Rattler blow up Ripcord in a Sky Striker at the beginning of the film like Jason Gedrick in the Iron Eagle sequel. 3. Have the nano-mites permanently reconfigure the Baroness's brain, have her go crazy and kill the doctors, nurses and guards as she escapes from the mental institution/prison where she is. Have her shoot Duke and put him in a coma for most of the movie in a "consider that a divorce" moment a la Arnold and Sharon Stone in "Total Recall." 4. Redesign the look of the character and vehicles to resemble their original source material. Yes, COBRA Commander needs a blue general's uniform, a chrome mask and blue helmet. Yes, Scarlett needs a grey body suit with khaki swimsuit type-thing over it. No, Snake Eyes does not need lips. Yes, we need to see a Dragonfly, a Sky Striker, a MOBAT, a HISS tank, a Rattler, etc. The Vipers need to look like Vipers. 5. Establish that Ripcord and Scarlett's flirtation in ROC never progressed beyond that, and set up a romance between her and Snake Eyes. 6. This one's obvious and will probably happen anyway but resurrect Storm Shadow by saying he'd been infused with nano-mites and healed like Wolverine and escaped the disintegration of the MARS base. 7. Flesh out more of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes's story and how the former joined COBRA and the latter joined GIJOE. 8. Introduce Firefly by having him rescue COBRA Commander and Destro. 9. Introduce some new Joes: Probably Flint, Lady J, Spirit and Shipwreck. 10. Introduce TOMAX and XAMOT, Extensive Enterprises, and the Crimson Guard sleepers. Have President Zartan appoint Siegies to all sorts of critical authority positions. Have him shut down GIJOE (that part is probably going to happen if there is a sequel anyway)-give him a big escape scene when he's found out reminiscent of his escape from the Pit in the early Marvel run. |

I'd love to see Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow RAID Cobra Island! God it could be epic! EELs fighting everywhere, underwater melee battles, Morays being raided with Eels being attacked by Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow fighting Eels while being attacked by sharks.
It could be awesome. |

yeah the uniforms of CC and destro are EASILY tweaked when they are busted out by a nanomite brainwashed baroness(reactivated by mindbender??) or released by president zartan(who will have adverse reactions to the nanomites and have a sensitivity to light and develop dark lines)
yeah the relationship with ripcord was annoying since she is snake eyes lady. grrrr storm shadow HAD to live somehow. he seem to be too big of a cash cow but i'd rather have a snake eyes spin off movie ala wolverine ...but with a better story lol |

Like everyone else, I would love a more classsic ARAH feel to a sequel but it's not going to happen. This is the route Hasbro's taking Joe and we either except it or not. As for your ideas;
1. I don't see why Destro needs to have a huge 'roid out build. He is a business man not a wrestler. 2. I rather see a dogfight as a homage to issue #34. 3. I like this idea. 4. Yes the Commander needs his 'general's' uniform or something similar to what he had in Sigma 6. As for '80s weapons used "in the near future" is not gonna work. 5. I totally agree but I still don't see a full on SE & Scarlett relationship in the Movie 6. Yes bring back Storm Shadow but no nanomites. He's an Arashikage he used "The Sleeping Phoniex" to heal himself like he did in the comics. 7. Agreed, but I rather see this as a stand alone movie. 8. I rather see President Zartan use a couple of mercenary (bikers) to break out Destro & Cobra Commander. 9. We already know they have to introduce a few more charaters, both Joe and Cobra 10. I think it's still too early to bring in The seigies and the Twins as Cobra is still not fully Risen. I do like the Zartan influencing NATO to shut down G.I. Joe. It's been done in the comics and the cartoon, it can work in a Movie. |

The only things I want to see in a sequel
1. Classic Cobra Commander mask 2. Remove lips from Snake Eyes 3. Make it so Baroness is still bad and was just playing Duke along at the end of ROC and rejoins Cobra in the sequel after stealing intel on the Joes I think Storm Shadow is definitely not dead. |

stuck in the 80's much?
let the movie evolve the franchise. give them an excuse to get KIDS into it again. Kids have no idea what we know of as g.i joe, and with modern kids, the 80's joes won't work. |
