Agreed. This is one of my favorite looks for Baroness ever so far. I usually hate the way she is portrayed, and this looks more in-line with her established personality as I know it.

They figured out everything right with Snake-Eyes and removed it. I agree. "Destruction" is a bit strong language but it's a redefinition that I don't like.

You know what? I don't think I'm going to watch it. It looks like a great cinematic martial arts film probably, but I'd rather go read ARAH then sit in a theater and feel disappointed at how they missed the mark.
This whole situation reminds me of the 2009 interview with Larry Hama where he related his experiences being involved with Rise of Cobra. He talked about how they weren't really doing anything that had to do with his story at all, it was their own thing. They also kept trying to fit in scenes in which Snake-Eyes would talk and he had to shut them down several times on that.
I don't mind that they show his face and that he talks in this film. It's pre-injury. But, I feel like spending too much time with that aspect of the character weakens the character. Long-time readers of the character know his backstory and personal life, but he really is strongest as a faceless cypher.

Only watched RoC once in theaters. I owned Retaliation on dvd for a few years but only watched it once in that format and once in theaters. Although, I have rewatched the "silent 21 minutes" over and over again, and that film did it's best to repair the damage of the first. Things looked more like Joe.

Despite my distaste for it, I hope this happens.

The biggest problem for me is that they've never made the ARAH version. IMHO it's far superior to any of the watered-down "reimaginings" of the characters on film. It's also just sitting right there ripe for the plucking. Fans who grew up on the cartoon would have their minds blown, ARAH comic readers would be able to run around talking about how great the film was, and general audiences would really see more depth in the characters than they're getting from these little popcorn flicks.

Ugh. And being referred to by first name.
