And no, it's nothing personal. Imagine that you are in a position to help some people, but you can't let them know. Like star trek's "prime directive," okay? Now imagine that the ones you're trying to help don't understand your methods or your intentions and keep pulling the rug out from under you. |

I propose a list of what I’ll call “unreasonable demands”…I cal them this as I am unwilling to budge on them…these things MUST be done in the sequel.
unreasonable demand #1) Scarlett and Snake Eyes relationship must be restored. To Many, incluing myself, THIS is the emotional core of GI Joe. These two are soulmates, and should remain so. To do away with this so that Maron Wayans can flirt with the hot chick is such a waste. Scarlett leaning on Snake Eyes in the briefing room; that to me was more thrilling than seeing the SS FLAGG. unreasonable demand #2) Do NOT base the plot around Duke. Here’s a news flash for Hasbro: Duke is not the main character of GI Joe–I don’t even know if there IS a main character in GI Joe, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Cobra Commander or Snake Eyes… and you know what? Some of us don’t even like Duke, never have and never will. I have never been a Duke hater, just kind of indifferent towards him(Except on the Sunbow Cartoon. Sunbow Duke rocks.) but we’ve hade so much Duke shoved down our throats, I am at my breaking point. Indeed,in the “Resolute” artwork article on this very site, I went off on a diatribe about how sick I am of Duke, when I should have been talking about how cool the Zartan art was. I didn’t always hate Duke…Hasbro made me this way, oh yeah, and Channing Tatum… Bad enough the whole movie was about Duke, but to have him played by this goof. I wince on screen every time I see his…ughh…”acting”. How did they cast this guy, pick his name out of a hat? It’s bad enough he was completely physically wrong for the part, but the guy makes Keanu Reeves look good. And the whole movie was basically about how awesome Duke is. In fact, since we don’t actually see the rise of Cobra, I would argue the movie should have been called “GI Joe: How Awesome is Duke?” My answer? Not very. So yeah, make Duke’s part smaller… or recast. Or hey, do both! unreasonable demand #3) The Baroness. Make her bad again. I don’t care how, just make it happen. I am not really so worried about this one. It’s inevitably going to get fixed… But it shouldn’t have been broken in the first place. I was really digging the Baroness in ROC too… She was one of the characters I felt the movie got 100 percent right(Well, other than the accent.)…up untill it was revealled that she wasn’t really bad. Rex just brainwashed her with nanomites to…uh, I dunno, get revenge one Duke or something… LAME! I hear in the movie novel, Ana reveals to Duke that she remembers the evil things she did and enjoyed doing them…maybe the film makers can use this unreasonable demand #4) Return Cobra Commander to a more traditional appearance. I have note spoken to one person–NOT ONE–who thinks the movie design of CC was an improvement over the original. I’m not talking about fans either, I’m talking about the general public. Oh yes, people remember the original Cobra Commander. We need to see him returned to his former glory. Oh, and while I’m at it, drop the stupid Darth Vader voice Rex uses at the end.JGL did a fine Cobra commander performance throughout the film, and you guys ruined it at the end with that Darth Vader Voice… “CALL ME…COMMANDER!!!”…no, I don’t think I will. So those are my unreasonable demands. If they are heeded, the next Joe movie will be much better. If ignored, a terrible future for GI Joe awaits... |

It's mostly self-important cynics who think it's cool to be sarcastic or nasty that have been causing the problems. And it's not like I'm anyone special.
