"The Rise of Cobra" My Personal Thoughts
If you haven't seen the movie yet and you don't want any spoilers.. please do not read Just remember I warned you. I can't say I didn't enjoy the movie, because I thought the action was great and I loved the nanotechnology idea. But I did have a few issues..they hardly stuck to any of the original story line, when it came to the comics or the cartoon. I'd prefer if they would have just read a few of the original marvel comics and just based the movie off that. I liked the idea that StormShadow and Snake pretty much stuck to the original idea, that they parted ways after their Master died, that it was blamed on Stormshadow. But they were no where as young as they made them out to be when it originally happened. Both men had severed in the service together before Snake even trained with Stormshadow. (That's if your going by the original story mind you, the one printed up by Marvel. For the movie they just made up their own story.) Secondly when it comes to Snake eyes is said he made a vow of silence (Or at least Stormshadow had said that) In the comic it was totally different, Snake Eyes had been injured and had been unable to speak afterword. (Another change the made for their own purposes of this movie.) What I'm wondering is, had these writers read anything on on the original Joe characters, or did the just spot read here and there. The movie and action was great.. but if were gonna base it off the original marvel comics or even the cartoon. They were way off. A Major issue I had was with the Baroness. I've always loved the character and have always followed her story closely. Her and Duke originally being together and then showing a love interest in the movie.. Yuck! That's all I can say, she joined Cobra on her own, no ever controlled her.. she was actually the heart of Cobra along with Cobra commander in my book and her love for Destro wasn't forced. I hated that idea. Even the idea of Scarlett and Ripcord.. an actor that really should have been Stalker. Winding up together.. I just hadn't liked it, she would have been better with Snake Eyes as the seemed to hint at first in the movie, since the two were together in the original comic. All in all though, if they wanted to recreate the movie and the story line, for a new fan or even for a story plot in a movie. I thought it was great.. but for an original old school fan of G.I. Joe.. I picked through it a bit. We did have a blast suiting up for the movie, due to just getting off work and going straight to the movies, I hadn't really had the chance to fix my hair, but I don't think others noticed as much. All of us cosplayers were a big hit, it was wonderful getting to see friends and hang out with 501st members. (Tony and I had brought a camera, but after two pictures outside, or batteries died :P So we ended up using out friends phone for pictures instead. Not the best pictures and some were really dark, but we still had fun
