Probably because the movie was written to give his character as extravagant a part as possible. Quote:
Seriously, this just isn't something you can blow out of proportion. As you noted, Scarlett has never liked Wayans' type of character, and to write over that, push Snake Eyes into the background and essentially reduce Scarlett to Wayans' personal plot device represents a basic lack of respect and very deliberate repudiation of everything that's gone before. |

Marlon Wayans made GI Joe : ROC better than it would have been without him. I dont know who the runner up for the role in the movie was but someone thought Wayans was the better choice and compared to the other actors in the film he outperformed all but 2 in my opinion.
The a sequel movie (which i paid to see simply to support the line/franchise) without Wayans is something that id be VERY hesitant to see considering i saw the first one due to nostalgia and responsibility as a fan. Replacing a character like Ripcord at this point would not make me eagerly anticipate a sequel. The character of Jar Jar Brinks in Star Wars and this GI Joe's Ripcord are worlds apart in my opinion. Saying they are similar is hyperbole at the very least..... |

This is what I'm almost universally hearing from people who've seen it. Everything that people have been whining about actually wasn't bad, and the real crap came from out of left field in the form of Tatum and others.

Saying they are similar is hyperbole at the very least..... Hands down he did no better and in a way due to his scenes and his stupid jokes left him way below the performances of Hawk and Duke and Destro. It was annoying having to mentally block him out of every scene he polluted. I think Heavy Duty should have had more screen time as his acting abiltiies and character were more profound then wayanes. Wayanes struggleing and trying to say Celtic words to fly and use a planes weapon systems....totally absurd.. There are so many more charatcers to use in sequals and the only actor that needs to be in any futre films is Ray Park. No one be able to pull off his ninja skills and given he does not talk to ham it up and say stupid crap is 100% perfection. They just need to seriously redesign his outfit. Wayanes being left to the dogs will not affect my seeing the next movie, in fact I would be 100% more excited to hear that he woul dnot be returning in any capacity. After the way he was presented I would actually be extremly satisified at the top of my lungs if Brandon Fraiser came back full force in a power suit instead of Wayanes....

-sigh- I was hoping that him being in "G.I. JOE" would put an end to these special effects-abusing movies...

You can blame bad acting on a horrible director (read sommers). The actor is only as good as the "direction" given and when you have a horrible script to work from with such a short time frame to throw it togther you end up with bad acting all around. I feel Tatum, Quaid, the girl who played scarlett. Fraiser as Sgt. Stone and even Storm Shadow guy did awesome with the material they were given to work with. In fact I liked Hawk a whole lot and wish they had done a tad bit more editing to remove his stupid smile he did LOL that was only issue I took with the guy.

If written correctly, and not dumbed down, I dont mind ripcord the character. Just do away with the silly ass scarlet/rip/SE . The characters as a WHOLE need better writing. And with the right writing, we can get something better then GIQ.
