As far as the Stalker or Ripcord thing goes: I would rather have Stalker in the movie.....but I don't think Wayans would be a good choice for the part. It's not because he can't play a serious role...I've seen him do that, it's just that he doesn't look, sound or feel like Stalker to me (I'm being ultra picky because Stalker is my favorite non-snake eyes original Joe).
As far as him playing Ripcord...I'm fine with it. I think he'll fill the buddy role nicely and I don't think ripcord was really defined by his race so that change isn't a biggie (also I guess it's cool Rip Cord is in the movie after all he did have a decent role in the early Marvel days) | |

i have no problem with him.
i agree with you that i don't see wayans playing stalker. stalker always seemed serious. samuel l jackson, that's a stalker i could see.
probably couldn't afford him. | |

| At this point no one knows, and everything else is assumption.
Wayans is too young to be Stalker.

| Just my opinion here, but in the interview with Hama after he went to the set, everyone commented that he looked tired and acted confused, or high.
I think it might have been more along the lines of him trying to give that interview and not say anything that might loose him that nice check they wrote him for what was, basically, just his "Blessing".
If the script is real, and that's what they are filming, I think Hama had ZERO to do with this movie, other than showing up, getting his endorsement check, and telling us all how much we're gonna love it. | |

| The way the interviewer composed himself didn't help either. For all we know, Hama could have just woken up, or was too busy on set and barely slept. Also, thats just one interview, and was months ago.
As the months go by and we move closer to the movie date, I'm sure we will gradually learn more of what Hama actually did with regards to the movie.

Wayans is too young to be Stalker. | And Tatum's old enough to be Duke?

| Don't know, and don't care. Duke sucks, I only liked the Sigma 6 version because the figures were cool, but as a character, no.

With due respect to ripcord, when i first read script spoilers and such I wondered why they were making him a main character. I wan't to watch this GI Joe movie and think about the old times and add more details and cool stuff to it.
I wan't to be able to relate to this in a sense of not being confused and not thinking to myself hmmm.... its like they put the power rangers in the gi joe universe and let them morph. Then it seems like they are trying to change the gi joe characters to be these perfect people who all have very positive pasts and then add in story lines to make them have a reason for being a joe. Are they forgetting about the good ole days, I don't want to see a Sigma 6 big screen movie, i want to see a movie about stuff that i liked for so long and has stayed pretty prominent up to this point.
Sorry if this is a spoiler, i will try not to ruin it, but i read somewhere that a character we know well is going to have a past relationship with the baroness? Maybe if you read this spoiler and read the comics, maybe you can tell me that this might have actually happened because I can't believe this would happen. Its like there changing everything up.
