that was all just from the first draft of the script before the movie actors were cast, and was just the idea of an international team put to paper which obviously hasn't been used in the film to the same extent. but the complainers don't care much about reason and logic and aren't concerned about reciting old info as long as it serves their purpose.

Besides, I don't see how much of a problem it's going to be since Snake Eyes doesn't talk, you won't hear an accent and he wears a mask so you won't see facial features common to French people |

It's most proof we have so far.And if it's not a problem, why change his nationality in the first place?

what there is proof of are rewrites and changes to the action and character's nationalities whose nationalities were only mentioned in the script for the reader but played no significant role in it. so the idea of continuing to purport it as what is in the movie is flawed -- nobody knows.

Right no body knows, thing is they could all be american citizens and retain thier native accents and be called "real american heros" at that point, how would you know? They aren't going to show us passports or birth certificates for every character in the movie to prove it one way or another. It is left to you to decide if it is american force or UN force (will help sell it's abiguity to other nation sit shows in). In my book they are all Americans as I don;t care what they show in the movie, I can make the figures what I want them to be at the end of the day. And they are all American sans the BAroness shes is still Russian/East German/Gypsy or whatever she was.

What is the point in changing the nationality of main characters known to be American personalities, in an AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY? When you hear GI Joe what do you think of ... French Nationals? British Intelligence Officers? No. Why? Because they're ... GI Joe, real American heroes. It's as American as apple pie, ham and cheese, etc. Why not change Superman for christ sakes, or Batman, or hell make James Bond lithuanian ... The spirit and essence of the superhero team known as GI Joe always has and always will be considered and thought of as an American ideology. That isn't defying logic or reason. The change to the source material is whats not logical. That's making change in order to be more "pc" and friendly and reach a wider demographic in box offices outside of America, which in itself doesn't make sense considering studios consider the American box office numbers most important, while at the same time alienating the core of the fan base that grew up with these American born and bred heroes. I'm just glad you confirmed that there have been re-writes and the nationalities from some of the core characters are still intact. |
