Agreed. That's why if you're going to do a JOE Cinematic Universe, you're going to have do the following.
1) Decide upon the core characters that are going to be used.
2) The story arc.
3) Time period, will this be a contemporary film or a period piece set in the 80's
4) Possible subplots and how do the the JOES and COBRA come to their climatic battle.

If I were doing this project, I'd do a true origin/prequel movie. I would have my some of my core characters, Hawk, not as a Colonel, but maybe as a Lt. Col., Captain, or Major. Stalker, S.E. S.S. and they're apart of some joint Army special ops unit. Since Stalker was a Ranger, it makes since to make the others Rangers too. Since this is a pre JOE movie and it's prior to S.E.'s accident, so I would do something that some would consider sacrilege, I'd show Snake Eyes face and he would speak.

The COBRA movie would be about C.C. the formation of COBRA, the Baroness, and the Twins. The JOEs would be formed in response to a COBRA terrorist attack. COBRA would be such a threat that the Joint Chiefs, and the president feel that it's necessary to form a joint special forces unit fight and neutralize COBRA.

Exactly, the Joeverse is so vast that people have to think outside of the box. There's a lot of stories to be told.

Captain America was another property no one wanted to touch. Ant-Man? Really? If smart producers work off the existing Joe material, they can build a massive franchise with tons of movies. They have a similar large roster of appealing characters to Marvel. Likewise DC has a great roster, but they can't get their act together on the movies outside of Bats and Supes.
Exactly. People need to look at the cartoons and realize that shit was wack and it's the comics (since I've only read the Marvel run,) that gave the JOEs it's extraordinary run and longevity. The thing with G.I. JOE is that so few of them have back stories, that screenwriters have the opportunities to develop characters that are little more than their file card entries.

I don't think it needs to be a part of larger universe, but it just needs a solid foundation and executed properly.

You probably would have felt the same way about those characters too, and you would have right. G.I. is only three or four good movies away from being the next great film franchise.
