And I'm curious as to what demographic he's referring to when he says, "everybody"? Everybody as in everybody who knows the Marvel comics? The Sunbow cartoon? Or everybody as in everybody that only knows Snake Eyes from Rise of Cobra and Retaliation?
And I'm beginning to get a strong suspicion that Snake Eyes will be talking in this movie. |

Makes a bit of sense from an origin story standpoint... That being said, if he doesn't "become horribly maimed and lose the ability to speak" by the end of the film, I'm out, and will go back to only acknowledging ARAH era Joe. PC agendas I can begrudgingly accept, taking a huge shit on the source material, I cannot. At that point, why even bother to call it GIJoe? It's not a though the franchise carries any real weight anymore, aside from us 30-40 somethings.

Yes, talking due to his origin I can understand. But I'm cringing at the thought of everything being rebooted. Rebooted to what? Are they going to completely redefine Snake Eyes? I'm just trying to figure out what they mean by looking at Snake Eyes' character and not necessarily as a weapon(that's what I got from what Golding said). And from the direction my mind is going, I'm not liking it. But that's just me. It could be a very badass movie. But right now it's smelling like bad ass.

It has to definitely open the door to who Snake Eyes really is. I mean, so far they already took away a couple of his original Marvel characteristics. My thing is, what else are they going to take away?

One thing; I will agree with the above comments in regards to Snake Eyes not having much in the way of character development (outside of the comics), he was always pretty much "bad ass, silent, master-ass-kicker" and little more in most forms of media. To me, that's always actually added to the appeal, but I also wouldn't have chosen to build an entire movie out of a character like that. Unfortunately though, He's the "Wolverine" or "Darth Vader" of the Joeverse, and so it makes sense from that standpoint. If I mention Tunnel Rat (my personal fave) to the average joe, they'd think I was referring to Vietnam, but even my grandma knew who Snake Eyes is. The one thing I'll stick to my guns on, is that at the very least, we've already seen mediocrity with the last two films, so it's not as though the bar is very high. This movie could be a turd, and still give ROC and RET a run for their money. At this point, I'm really just hopeful that they don't fuck us on toys, as I'd really like to not miss buying Joes on the pegs again like I did with the rest of the ME stuff.
