I'm tired of ROC & Retaliation threads.
Why don't we talk about what really matters? All those extra decals that you didn't use on your Skystriker & Pit that I could be using for my customs. I think you should all STFU about the GI Joe movies & send me your extra unused decals.

As for GI Joe not being military, go back and look at GI Joe in the comics and filecards again. GI Joe was tons of ninjas who couldn't die (our died and came back), twins who could feel eachother's pain, men in giant snake and bird costumes, guns that fired lasers, rocket powered jet packs, alligator trainers, evil dentists, ex used car salesman turned terrorist. GI Joe is NOT realistic by any stretch. That's why it was so awesome when we were kids. To me that's why RoC was awesome. It was so over the top, just like the old Sunbow cartoons and the Marvel comics. If GI Joe was made into a movie like ” Black Hawk Down” or ” Platoon” then to me that would be way worse than what they did with RoC.

Ok obviously you don't get what I'm saying. The people that think Retaliation is going to be nothing like RoC are in for a disappointment. It is a sequel. It will take the same storyline and run with it. Cobra Commander is still related to Baroness. Snake Eyes took an oath of silence. People who bash the RoC storyline and think that Retaliation is a whole new movie is who I'm addressing. The ones who hated everything about RoC because it wasn't anything like the original Marvel run. Guess what? Retaliation won't be either.
No, I actually got exactly what you were saying, I just disagree with you. What I am saying is that people aren't stupid. I don't want to be rude, but I have to speak frankly, Do you think that you are the only person on this site that remembers the plot points of RoC? CC & Baroness, Baroness & Duke, SE & SS, etc. Did you think that everyone else forgot, or were not smart enough to understand the nuances and differences? This entire thread comes off as very condescending. The "RoC Haters" as you called them, are most likely well aware that this is a sequel. What you seem to be overlooking, is that a sequel progresses the story beyond where the last movie left off. That means that while John Chu must work with the fixed plot elements that the last film left behind, he has the flexibility to take the story anywhere he chooses from that point forward. Furthermore, each director has his own cinematic style, pacing, lens filter preferences. Each director brings his own film editor, camera and lighting director, AD, all of these things affect the look and feel of a film. That's why Aliens and Alien resurrection, while both being Alien films, look so different from one another. So, while it may have the same back story as RoC, it doesn't have to be exactly like RoC, or even similar. In light of this, based on your reasoning, there is more of a chance of the RoC lovers being disappointed rather than the haters. Neither statement would be true. Your whole opening statement is built on an unprovable premise, based off of peoples reactions to a 2 minute trailer and is just plain negative. You said a long time ago, that you are about unifying the community and finding common ground, this is not finding common ground, this is promoting division and discord. Maybe we will all end up hating this film, or we will all love it, who knows. It's not your place to tell people what they will and won't like. As for the Sci-Fi vs Military thing, I think G.I Joe is about 50/50, but I will concede that we each have our own view of what G.I Joe is.
