I keep reading up on so many posters who hate this movie before even seeing a trailer. I will admit I hate Wayans as Ripcord (worst casting I've seen in a long time), hate Heavy Duty is in as opposed to Roadblock, using Breaker but none of the rest of the original 13, and hell I even hate whats-his-face as Hawk. And I hate the "international" makeup of the revised characters.
But I am still willing to give it a chance and will see it in a theatre. But what am I comparing it to? The old cartoon? Give me a break the cartoon was retarded. Everything from Yo Joe every five minutes to everyone capable of flying Conquests. And what was the deal with the gigantic cannon facing out fo the front of GI Joe headquarters? The animation sucked, and so did many of the stories and characters. How some of them made it to an 'elite' combat unit still amazes me. The comic book? I will admit that there are some issues from 1 to about 40 I really liked, but even that got stupid. I stopped following it when Cobra Commander started running around in John Lennon sun glasses and a pony tail, and then got shot by one of his own guys not long after piloting the POGO. I feel bad for Hamma having to incorporate crappy figure designs into the story, but it jumped the shark way before that. I started getting sick of all the ninjas (modern day assassins - and that is what they are - would run around with guns and silencers and not swords and bows) and dreadnoks (who I love here and there but not in the middle of every other issue). In 2008 and almost 2009, does anyone really think Cobra could exist as it did in either the cartoon or comic without the full power of the US government coming down on it? Do you think it would obliterate Cobra Island in the Gulf of Mexico? I just don't by that it would rely on a small but elite force to deal with something claimed to be bigger and stronger. To me, Cobra is a terrorist organization that would have to survive covertly and rely on money and politcs to really survive. I see Cobra Commander as the Chairman of the Board with Tomax and Xamot and the Crimson Guardsmen being the real power in Cobra. By the time you have to bust out the thug Vipers to do something, you've already created too much attention for yourself, or they are very covert actions to begin with. And that is how I see a realistic GI Joe. Covert vs Covert. Like a shadow war with the US Government unable to pin down how Cobra works globally and GI Joe acting as Interpol who is always a step or two behind. So do I hope the movie busts out a few "Yo Joes!" and retains something I can identify in the cartoon? God I hope not as I will be embarrassed sitting in the theater. I thought Transformers without the Arc crashing would be garbage, but despite a few plot holes they nailed it. It was modified from the original idea to fit into today's world, not the world as I saw it at 10 years old. So Megatron didn't turn into a Walter P38?!?!?!? WTF! So keep in mind while they already blew half the characters, this is GI Joe of 2009 being made here. I skipped over Valor vs Venom and these other series that cropped up since 1990 that look retarded too. I don't like GI Joe for what it is or has been, but for the idea of what I would think it would be like. Who knows I might hate the previews but I am still going to see the movie. |

if it were up to me, it'd look the same (costumes, to add in differenciating the charactors from one another), have the same history we already know (nothing wrong with it and joe movie go'er would like it just as much as the reimagened history) BUT a new story...

My vision is that G.I. Joe would never work as a live action movie, and all discussion should be stuck with those "CAST THE G.I. JOE MOVIE U GUYZ" threads

I want the movie to be updated like the Iron Man movie was. In that movie the characters looked and acted like they did in the comics but were placed in an updated world. Also, just like the Iron Man film, I don't want the Joe movie to be PC and not offend people who hate America.

I'd like to see the Joes as pawns in a bigger game that the U.S. Government is playing with the rest of the world. The U.S. would be secretly funding Cobra but would be publicly supporting GI.Joe as Americas answer to global terrorism.
Then I would throw in a bunch of conspiracy theorist stuff about the government in there too (bohimian grove ect...) Not a lot of people would roll with it, but it's what I'd do. |

Delta, everybody knows that the G.I. Joes were just good people who totall banded together to FIGHT TERROR, they weren't guys doing a job or anything!
Also your idea for the joe movie is the best one I've heard!

my opinion i would do it similar to that of what they are doing in james bond series now. make it modern time not 10 years in the future. maybe there is a mysterious organization that is funding and providing arms for terrorist groups (think of it as a pyramid scheme) the US knows how terrorists are getting these advanced weapons but dont know who is doing it maybe toss things in their about mars designs being used. have a joint chief of staff meeting about starting a covert task group more secretive than delta force and show General Flagg (chris cooper would have been perfect for that role) then let the story go from there make it modern times something that we as fans can connect to have all the main characters there have colonel hawk, duke,scarlett, lady jaye, snakeeyes, etc all the main principle characters let this be a launching pad for other movies. in the in the middle let them find there is a larger force than they ever imagined (cobra).near the end show how flagg dies by major blood. atleast this is just my opinion maybe some people wouldnt want to see it. but stay close to the comics in a certain way.
