Because it's not the ONLY thing that has an impact. Fans are only a part of the worldwide film release equation.

Does anyone really think that Hollywood directors or producers really care about what we think?
I doubt that they visit any "fanboy" sites and debate among each other as to how to please us.

Put me on record as saying I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.
I think ROC was a good mix of all the previous versions of GI JOE with some new mixed in there - but I think Sommers can really take it to the next level and bring it a little closer to ARAH era Joe in the next one. I watched the movie again recently, and it feels like it was trying too hard to cater to 3 different people: Kids, Fans, and the moviegoer that needs to be blown away by special effects. Don't get me wrong, I understand the idea. But it was as if they couldn't decide who they wanted to make happy, and shoved too much into it. It upsets me, honestly... I would have been okay if they targeted one audience- even if they changed everything about it and it held little resemblance to the old comics. At least then it would be less of a "scar" on the universe. |

Beattie read the reference that was given to him. (DDP, Sigma 6, VvV.) Sommers started reading the comics while he was making the movie. He had a change of heart (i.e. he started to really GET the Hamaverse DURING production).

The best way to look at ROC is as a prequel that actually gets made BEFORE the "real" movies.
