No I dont get it...just because it has GI Joe on it doesnt make it GI Joe........BatMan and Robin was a Bat Man Movie but it wasnt a Bat Man Movie.......
It might say its something but when you have the Characters out of Character its not the characters......if that make since? so, you can't applaud one change as in character despite the fact that it is totally different, and then condemn another for doing the same. that's hypocritical. the only solution is exemplified by Batman. characters can have many personas, and their differences are not out of character. you can't say that is okay for Batman but not for G.I. Joe. well, you can, but it wouldn't be a rational argument. |

"Massively enjoyable" and yet "The character development is terrible"? Hmm, sounds like the Transformers movie.
What does this mean? They have costumes that are recognizable and true to the original source material? Last edited by evebird; 09-14-2008 at 12:29 AM.. |

Just like when someone is acting against character you say "they aren't being themselves". I get it, and don't let these guys get you down with their over analization of your words. There is a differance between something being taken literally, and figuratively. |

you can't agree with him and believe Batman and Robin is not a Batman movie, which you seem to believe, because his point is pretty specific. you're going to have to account for that discrepancy. or you are going to have to say that the Dark Knight is out of character. if you don't, you are conceding that a character can have multiple characterizations and inherently can never act out of character when a new one is developed, and would also have to concede that the characters in G.I. Joe are not out of character either.
Yes 'Batman & Robin' & 'the Dark Knight' are both 'Batman' movies. Depending on what kind of mood I'm in, I like them both for differen't reasons. The characters in the new GI.Joe will be GI.Joe characters weather I like it or not. I get it. It just won't be the traits of them I would like to see exploited for the live action movie. I can also read between the lines when someone says "this is not a GI.Joe movie" too. It's not to be taken literally Last edited by delta; 09-14-2008 at 01:09 AM.. |

Yeah, obviously whatever the hell "what makes since" means, it sure doesn't make sense.
No I dont get it...just because it has GI Joe on it doesnt make it Yeah and just because Snake Eyes was never one of the original 12" G.I. Joes from 1964, he is not actually a true G.I. Joe. Yeah, and what movie is it then, Rush Hour starring the X-Men? Right..... Yeah and the DDP Corps! Comic is more a gijoe comic than IDW's G.I. Joe comic. Quote:
it sure was a Batman movie. and they were certainly in character. Batman has a significant history of campiness, ala the 60's tv show, that Batman and Robin simply followed. by your logic, if any change to the character is out of character, than the Dark Knight persona is actually out of character for Batman, since it came well after the campy persona. you would then have to condemn the Dark Knight characterization of Batman as not Batman. do you? I am confident in believing you don't.
so, you can't applaud one change as in character despite the fact that it is totally different, and then condemn another for doing the same. that's hypocritical. the only solution is exemplified by Batman. characters can have many personas, and their differences are not out of character. you can't say that is okay for Batman but not for G.I. Joe. well, you can, but it wouldn't be a rational argument. If you want to get Technical yes its GI Joe and Bat Man and the X Men...but to this long term fan of all 3 no they werent....just my opinion....... |
