By the fact that, among other things, he doesn't know what trigonometry is, has never heard of "Celtic", has a reputation for not thinking, didn't bother to read the Delta-6 manual before being deployed in it and apparently forgets that he can actually jump in the damn thing minutes after leaping dozens of feet in the air to catch Scarlett. |

No, it's stupid and suspension-of-disbelief breaking.

All that having been said, yes, Ripcord was basically a slightly less competent version of Duke in the film, except that he could fly planes, and was generally better-acted. |

Scarlett and Snake-Eyes definetly had some 4 or 5 close moments during the movie, tough.

Ah, but we’re not talking about a non-genius. We’re talking about a borderline mental defective. And amusingly enough, I didn’t say he was a poor hand at trigonometry. I said, rather, that he was apparently igorant of it. It’s funny, because I would have assumed that something like that would weigh rather heavily on an ASVAB Arithmetic Reasoning score, and consequently on whether an applicant was deemed intelligent/knowledgeable enough to qualify for Special Forces. It is, however, somewhat out of character for a member of the U.S. Army’s Special Forces, the first two of the primary five mission of which are unconventional warfare and foreign internal defense with an emphasis on language and cultural skills. Sure, you can claim that the odds of having to train “Celtic”-speaking guerillas in the Scottish highlands are infinitesimal, even in the movie’s wildly improbable universe, but the fact remains that it’s yet another example of the character demonstrating his general ignorance.

well most of us prefer scarlett to be with SE because of the comics right? and some don't have a problem instead of SE to have Duke with scarlett just because it was also in a specific series of comics.
Perhaps in the movie it's ripcord who has to be with scarlett... let's face it. his character wouldn't really draw anyone's attention if there wasn't for his flirting with scarlett! and if scarlett and SE were so many years together how come he didn’t save her at least once during the film?? i mean it could be like star trek where instead of james kirk she was involved with spock something that definitely wasn't in any of the comics!!! however i do believe that if the sequel really happens the love triangle will be present just to mess the waters a bit emotionally... i think that if she's to choose SE in the end will be clear from the very beginning of the film... who knows maybe SE breaks his silence vow after killing his nemesis, right? What really disturbs me though is that rachel nicols keeps saying that scarlett grew up with these people and thinks of the as brothers.... and the fact that it was so natural for her to rest on SE while at the headquarters doesn't look helpful to me. i mean when you like a guy (and especially at scarlett's case when she's so anti-emotional) you don't really touch him because it's too embarrasing for you. i am dissapointed that there was no awkward moment between them... that would mean something more. i hope i'm wrong but i do believe that in the movie it's going to be scarlett and ripcord just to make something different. The film is just based on the comics after all... |

I don't know how she could be turned on by Ripcord. I mean, SE is a NINJA. That should sway you to SE alone.

And that's how it should be people! This is the thing that burns me up the most about RoC. 1st Snake Eyes' origin changed 2nd The love relationship between Snake Eyes and Scarlett is not like how it should be. Arrrrrrrrr!

Didn't the movie have one scene where Scarlett was resting her head on "Snakes" shoulder... I thought that was a great nod to the comic book relationship.
