"I didn’t watch the cartoon,” Lee reveals. “I just needed basic information because when I first asked Stephen Sommers if he rather I studied more or watched previous G.I. Joe stuff, cartoons, he said no, I want you to create something else.”
Like we needed more proof that Sommers sucks and was completely wrong for this franchise.

So he didn't research the character at Sommer's request. That tells me Sommer's didn't really care much for Hama's universe. Furthermore, I don't think Lee knew about the comic book as the refers to not 'watching the cartoon'.
There is so much more to Storm Shadow than that 2 dimensional Sunbow cartoon. The legacy written in Hama's Joe comics is like no other. How can any actor on the Joe set not be required to familiarize themselves with the original Joe comic? It is like telling the actors on X-Men and Avengers to not read the comics to familiarize themselves with the Avengers concept.

And to be fair again he might have also turned out to be the Storm Shadow who snuck into joe headquarters and stole back the fragment of the weather deliminator from under the noses of 3 perimeter guards and only knocked out 1 interior guard and Timber, and held the power of Excalibur.

Stephen Sommers had never heard of G.I.Joe before the movie and didn't care enough about it or the fans to do any research. He wanted to make a movie about an accelerator suit, an idea he had had for years and thought this movie would be perfect for it.
I wanted to see a movie about G.I.Joe. |

“I made no good takes in 23, and that was my record,” he admits. “Thank God it was just one day.”
So it took him 24 takes to get a good take? Or like... they just said ok... that's good enough after the 23rd attempt? LOL. |

Haven't even seen the film and I'm bored of it already...

Considering Sunbow SS didn't even have a character, I reckon Sommers did the right thing.
