Dude, that's not only my favorite Joe story, but also may fave graphic novel, above watchmen, V For Vedetta and the Killing Joke.

That one moment made a friend who borrowed the book like Snake Eyes. Before that, he was always "What's the big deal? Just some ninja..."

A company that makes a ton of money needs no ideas from a moderator on a gi joe fansite.

Snake Eyes in that storyline was a breath of fresh air, you get insight to his character via his monologue, which is revealing of his personality, something oft not mentioned in the Marvel/DDP storylines. He wasn't over used, he wasn't the all mighty deus ex machina, he was just a secretive guy who had to deal with dire means of survival.

"There are two things that can stop bleeding, fire and time, and right now, I don't have time".

Also with regards to a maskless face adding more personality, it doesn't. If that were the case, why don't we show Snake Eyes without mask during the entire movie, because it adds more personality, and hell he is the most popular character, the money maker, and adding personality, by removing his trademark visor and mask, adds even more money and credibility right?

It turned out making millions of dollars and reinvigorating a toyline that had dwindled due to poorly made Pokemon-like cartoons.
Last year was a compromise, he wore it in battle. The whole debate last year, was whether he would have one at all, most wanted it on, a few off, in the movie he had it on in battle.

and some just think its cool to see storm shadow in a movie no matter what he looks like as long as there is a kickass sword fight.
True but most want the mask on at some point. They did the same for Snake Eyes, so why not his chief rival>?

even a hood he can pull up with maybe a metal face plate he could slip on that covers only lower portion of face(black with vent slits/holes maybe?). i think his snow camo/urban wear would better fit the movie, i mean white ninjas? really? the tatoos better surface at some point damn it!!! not opposed to one seen with a suit coat and shades, maybe during a casual interaction, initial recruitment or the like. lets hope they dont murder his image and attitude.

The one they've shown looks like a bad Jet Li film. They didn't have to make it look exactly like the original but at least make it look a little more usable than the International Male look.

I wouldn't have cared if they eventually had him with the new look--like in the sequels. But they should have introduced him with the classic style.

Destro will have a mask, and Storm Shadow was revealed to have a mask last week or so with the new pictures.
