The "old fans" who have no desire to see this won't be taking freinds, their kids, etc. So that dampens a new audience that G.I.Joe needs as well.
I feel that due to the tenous situation that G. I. JOE is in us lifelong fans have an obligation to see this film in order to help G.I. JOE regain it's popularity and relevance.

I disagree and that's dependent upon the story being told and the execution of it on film. I will say that we should never hear Snake Eyes' name.

People all over the world are fans, and they want the real deal too.
Blame Hasbro for that fuckery. I heard Bobby Vala state in an interview Hasbro believes that G.I. JOE didn't sell well internationally, but he said that Kirk Bozigian said that even at the end of A.R.A.H. G.I. JOE was selling well. You ever trip off of the fact that the claim is G.I. JOE needs to be more "international," but the JOE team lacks international characters? It would seem if that were the case then the
Classified Series
would have incorporated some characters from another country into the JOE team.. Hell, the Dreadnoks have more international representation than the JOE team.
