I'm actually hopeful for the Lady Jaye Amazon series. Seriously, how hard can it be to fuck a t.v. show about a secret agent? If the Lady Jaye show bricks then somebody went out of their way to fuck it up.
100% this. GiJoe would make good episodic material. There's too much to the characters and stories to fit into a film well.
Although I'm afraid I'll watch the Lady Jaye thing and won't recognize her as the character. However, she's not a very well developed character.

He spoke before in the comics. He only has said one word that we saw: "Scarlett." He narrated two issues through handwriting. He was not talkative before the accident. In the comics the original 13 members "barely knew what his voice sounded like" and he wasn't engaging or friendly with them, however they all knew that when he got away alone with Scarlett that he became a chatterbox with her. And he had a deep bond with Tommy and Stalker so Stalker and he spoke a lot.
In Jerwa's expansion of Larry's origin, his own father tells him that he's "hard to read, even for me." And his LLRP teammates think he's creepy and he avoids talking to them if he can. He speaks in single word sentences. Tommy served with him on a previous tour of duty in a former squad, and in fact they lost their FIRST entire unit also. SE blames himself. He feels that if he ever opens up and becomes friends with this second unit that they too will die.
Stalker met him prior to the LRRP squad just after that time he intervened in the Eustace DeCobray situation and that is the period of his life he was doing CIA covert ops. Tommy is receptive to him even when he's being a cold jerk, SE is clearly an icy personality. Tommy chides him that "you put up walls" between himself and others and Snake-Eyes is like "I'm just here to do a job." It's also interesting that Tommy is notably younger and more optimistic and SE is way physically buffer and world-weary.
Snake-Eyes talks about his spiritual beliefs and that he's trying to make a deal with God that if he continues to put himself into harm's way to protect the innocent, that nothing will happen to his family.
Snake-Eyes is a cold, isolated, overly serious, unpleasant and intense man to be around before the accident. After the accident he gets worse.

We know that Tommy called him "Snake Man" routinely during Vietnam according to Larry. In Jerwa's expansion, his father and him have a discussion about how he needs to retain his spiritual faith when he goes to Vietnam. He says he is losing his faith and its too weak to rely on, and he feels like people are only getting by on luck in this hard modern world. His dad replies that if he's going to have that kind of an attitude, he better be careful because luck runs out and "the next thing you know: Snake-Eyes, end of the line."
He also refers to this as his "Snake-Eyes curse." He believes that people he cares about always die because of him. He isolates away, running away, living off the land in the mountains. Doc oversaw his surgeries after the accident and was worried about his psychological profile. Doc was ostensibly transfered to GiJoe to continue overseeing his recovery.
He was already known as Snake-Eyes during Vietnam and his teammates didn't know his name even back then, so he may have ditched a real name during his CIA days. The swordsmith Onihashi makes fun of his name during his days in the Arashikage.

She was the only interesting draw from the trailers to me. She looked like fire.
