I actually don't think it'll be so noticable to a casual reader.
I mean these are people that read comic books on a regular basis (or have been exposed to them). They're used to worlds of supermen, mutants and magic. I don't think nanomites will be that far of a stretch for them. Even for Joe fans it's not that much of a stretch, there have been examples of that kind of tech in all walks of Joe.

You have nanomites that can easily prevent casualties in battle. This isn't over the top to G.I. Joe but kids these days would be surprised, there isn't anything like that on the battlefields right now. In essence, it sounds too good to be true and too easy(of course this presents itself as something that can be dangerous later on, Hawk and Cover Girl notice this). Quote:

Nanomites are just the film's deus ex machina. I personally don't think i will like it as a story device; it belongs in Star Trek, where it's already been done to death.
It's true that the old cartoon and comics had silly contrivances such as the Weather Dominator, MASS Device, Fatal Fluffies, clones, ghosts, the Brainwave Scanner, and giant killer vegetables, i thought the movie was trying to take itself more seriously. If it's going to be "out-there" too then i'm perfectly ok with that, but then why not use the original uniforms and vehicles then instead of making everyone wear black spandex and grey camo?
