Wayans doesn't need to be in the movie for Ripcord to appear/be killed.
Don't ever need to see the character's face. Just have someone in the background, wandering around, get shot/blown up and another one yells "Ripcord!" and voila. I like Wayans in RoC. His character was one of the better developed ones.

I also like Wayans in RoC. He did a better job than most of the others. I guess we will find out before too long what happens to him.

Marlon Wayans was on a local radio show in Miami this AM and made the statement to the effect of "first thing they do in GI Joe II is kill the black guy, Ripcord steps on a land mine in the beginning, it's like "Hey what did we forget to do in GI Joe I? Oh, kill the black guy! "
Can't confirm whether this is true or not (that he is in GI Joe II) and neither did Wayans in his interview this AM, he was joking around about everything as usual. Regardless, IMDB still does not list him nor Ripcord on the cast list for GI Joe II. Regardless, it would probably be the most welcome character screen death this side of Jar-Jar Binks getting it if he did in fanboy movie history. We can only hope................................. .

Pretty sure it was a joke and not serious.

I didn't think about that, and after all the ruckus that was made about it not mattering that Ripcord was white and Wayan's was black, and how none of that mattered was made, he goes and does the exact opposite! :( What a d*uche bag he is! .

Doesn't matter, really. Does it make it okay for a black guy to joke about racism? What if a white actor made the same joke? I highly doubt anyone would call it a joke.
I'm just tired of the same old overused material being trotted out when someone doesn't agree with something. If they killed Ripcord and Duke (and anyone else from the first movie) it wasn't because of the color of their skin, rather, it's because the first movie wasn't up to expectations and the producers decided to go in a different direction.

The race card joke doesnt work when the main star of the sequel is a black guy...

You're looking into it way too much.
He didn't say that they killed Ripcord because of his skin. He joked about it. Different things. Ripcord dies. He just joked that it was because he was black. He's making fun of a stereotype. Looking way too deeply into it.

I really believe he was joking around and not playing the race card but rather making fun of it in a way. That's kind of what the Wayans family is known for.
Anywho, Marlon Wayan's Ripcord was one of the more tolerable aspects of ROC imo. I would have preferred Ripcord stayed consistent with his ARAH characterization, but Wayans gave one of the better performances in ROC.
