I'm seeing a lot of comments about the Retaliation trailer that say "now Cobra looks like Cobra". It seems like nobody gets the fact that in ROC Cobra was just getting started. It was pre-Cobra. Looks like everybody wanted Cobra to be already established like in the cartoon but that's not the way it was. That's why it was called the "*RISE* Of Cobra". They didn't even have a commander/leader until the very end. Now in the new movie they're coming into power & starting to look the way they should. If you keep that in mind you might not hate ROC quite as much.

I don't think you're right on this. It seems like the production design for the 1st movie had every intention of distancing themselves from the source material to separate their GI Joe from the 80s GI Joe.
How does it make sense that the new Cobra troops de-evolved about 10 steps back from their turtle predecessors. Wouldn't they get better tech, armor, weapons etc as the films progressed and Cobra grew? Obviously Chu and company listened to the criticisms from the first one and made changes. I don't think it has anything to do with this being the plan from the beginning.

Yes, but I like this storyline and I haven't even seen it yet. Cobra starting out is fine. Nanomites and everyone having the same past are were I draw the line.

Wrong. RoC was a bad story. It was a total misunderstanding of the lore, and that misunderstanding informed everything in the movie, from the design to the characterizations.
That's why we hate it. |

Even if it wasn't planned this way, it still works out this way. So it should make ROC more enjoyable if you watch them both back to back. |
