would be a nice way to show emotions and communication without talking by Snake Eyes. I'd like to see that kind of acting in the next movie.

You guys are reading too much into the ripcord stuff in the movie.
Watch the movie carefully again. When Rip and Duke get to the control room at the Pit and Breaker is searching for Baroness on the computer... you can see Scarlett resting herself on Snake Eyes shoulder. Thats a HUGE tell because thats not something that two military people are going to be doing unless they are an item. Now, it could realistically be that they are barely in the "blossoming" part of their relationship. You know how it is, when everyone knows that you and some other person like each other... but its not "official" or anything. Those first couple of weeks where you just seem to always end up sitting next to each other and being real close, etc... You both know that you like each other, but you havent actually put the feelings down to words yet. Well that whole process would be a lot more difficult with a guy who doesnt speak AND a chick who is all super analytical like Scarlett. Now Ripcord comes in and makes her feel like a woman by telling her how she makes him feel. She plays it off, but she isnt made of stone... eventually she starts to feel the heat a little bit. And when the guy is about to go on a suicide type mission... she gives him a gift of a kiss. And maybe there is something more to that, maybe she feels that the whole thing with Snake Eyes is doomed to never really go anywhere because of his detached persona... so now that Rip comes on the scene... doubt starts to creep in. All of that is normal, and i think for all of his faults, Summers has played that pretty deftly. Maybe he's a bit too deft as it seems to be alluding a lot of people. If im writing the sequel then the situation would be as such... Operation Mongoose: The Joes are flying in to finish the job against MARS industries. We forget that they never took out Destros factory in Krygystan (or whatever it was called). In the air we have Ripcord flirt with Scarlett a bit... and then Snake Eyes comes from out of frame. He is putting on his visor and you can see a little bit of his face/eyes. And then he talks. He makes a remark in a half joking/half serious way that basically tells Rip that Scarlett is his. Or something to that effect. It should play off as funny a bit, but laced with biting truth. Yes Snake Eyes talks, yes i know you guys will hate that at first glance... but wait. Why does he talk now? In the movie it states that he swore an oath of silence due to the death of his master. Now that oath could have been a result of the killer still being at large, could have been from his shock of thinking that the killer is his sword brother, etc... But now that Storm Shadow is believed to be dead... then the killer has been brought to justice, and Snake Eyes himself has avenged his master, and his sinning sword brother is no more. That means that Snake Eyes can finally lift his personal oath of silence. Unfortunately... it does not last. En route their jet is attacked by Major Bludds team guarding the factory. The plane goes down and the Joes are injured and scattered. Heavy Duty and Breaker die. Snake Eyes is heavily injured, there are chunks torn away from his suit, his mask has pieces missing and you can see the bloody mess that portions of his forehead, cheek, and chin have become. There is a huge gash at his throat and its bleeding profusely. He is able to find/rescue the other Joes... but Scarlett is nowhere to be found. Thats because she is trapped inside the burning plane, probably knocked unconscious from the blast. Rip grabs Snake Eyes and tells him that he needs to get lie down while he applies bandages to his throat or he is going to bleed to death. Snake tries to yell at him and all you can hear is gurgling noises as bubbles of blood seep out of his mouth and the slit in his throat. You can faintly make out what he is saying. SCARLETT!! He runs back towards the downed plane and fights off a bunch of Major Bludds troopers. Apparently Bludd was part of CC's coup and had been readying the Cobra army all this time. Snake Eyes defeats a few random Cobra Troopers on his way to the jet. There he eyes an unconscious Scarlett... but she is in the arms of Firefly. A weakened, limping, injured Snake Eyes was still too much to handle for the Cobra Troopers, but Firefly is no regular trooper. They fight to a standstill, but just as Firefly is about to get the upper hand... Scarlett comes to and throws a knife in the leg of Firefly. Snake Eyes uses the moment to reverse the tide and beat up Firefly. By then they are outside of the plane... firefly blows up whats left of the plane using one of his incendiary devices and disappears from view. Snake then carries Scarlett to safety aboard a newly arrived copter being piloted by Wild Bill. As he delivers her into the chopper he falls to his knees and then directly onto the dirt. The other Joes lift him into the chopper and they fly away. As they are flying back to base Doc removes Snake Eyes headgear and exposes his busted up face. Scarlett has Snake's head in her lap and she is balling tears. As Snake lay there seemingly on deaths doorstep she professes her love for him. He tries to answer her... but he cant. Doc tells her that he has to perform emergency surgery right there on the plane or he is going to die. And with the limited equipment that he has... there wont be a way to do so without leaving permanent damage to his throat, mouth, tongue, voicebox, and vocal chords. Snake Eyes is mute once again, this time for ever. |

Nope- I noticed that they cut that line out of the final cut of the film. Scarlett was suppose to say that to Ripcord while he was leaving the bathroom, and it was never said. So I think that brother/sister relationship thing is out the window. Yeah!

So he cut it out and left the window open for Snake to get back in. Unless Duke starts putting the moves on her. There is the cartoon storyline where they were an item. |

I don't want to see it! She belongs to Snake Eyes. Plus I noticed something today after seeing the movie for the 3rd time now. She was hanging off of him in the control room like a couple would do. Plus she went to go grab him and hold him tight when he was running back to her and Breaker running to the elevator. I think in the next movie Ripcord will have another piece of tail to go chase, and it will be the blooming of the love story between Scarlett and SE.
On a final note- 11 year old boys coming out of the theater told their mother "That was the best movie ever!" So like it or not- us ARAH fans are stuck with these mythologies and character changes! Maybe she admires Snake because he's fearless, tough, and shows no emotion, what she tries to be! But Ripcord comes along and shows her she doesn't have to be perfect and to show emotion! Guess we'll see in the next movie!! Last edited by Sweetstick99; 08-15-2009 at 08:52 PM.. |
