HYDRA in the first Captain America movie was what Cobra should have been. But, I've said it before, G.I. Joe just doesn't work live-action. Too close to the figures, and it's ridiculous. Too realistic or gritty, and it's just Tom Clancy. Keep it animated. Resolute should have just been a two hour theatrical release.

I would remove the black leather suit and Cobra and Baroness wouldn't be Duke former friends.

The Sunbow scored version is really good. Edit out the Duke, CC and Baroness back ground cheese and the ninja flashbacks and it would then be great.

Changes within reason....
1) Change Ripcord into Stalker 2) Have Duke and "Stalker" rendezvous with their teammates on the G.I. Joe team, as opposed to getting recruited by them. 3) Change The Doctor into Dr. Venom 4) Skip over the Duke/Baroness/Rex backstory 5) Skip over the child ninja backstory 6) No Accelerator Suits 7) "Dr. Venom" and Destro escape, no nano injection to repair Destro's face, no helmet swap turning Dr. Venom into Cobra Commander 8) Real Cobra Commander appears in post-credit sequence - audio only Metal Gear Solid style On second thought, just watch The MASS Device 5-Parter |

Being that C.C. is the most interesting character in the Joeverse, I would do a prequel movie showing the events that led to him wanting to be the leader of a ruthless terrorist organization who wanted to rule the world.

Unless you are re-writing the whole movie, I would leave Ripcord as is. His portrayal is a little too comedic for me to be Stalker. Plus, the character ends up flying a plane and HALO jumping, which fits Ripcord over Stalker. 2. I like this idea a lot more than the 'Joe Team recruiting them. 3. This is very interesting, but it would make for an odd plot to have the franchise villain only appear at the end of the movie. Plus, it would create a weird continuity for Retaliation in the fact that Cobra Commander is being held prisoner. 4. Definitely, agree with this! 5. Gotta disagree with this one. Although the Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow origin may not be what we expected (but remember they've had many different origin stories in the comics and cartoons), I think having their origin stories helps to move the plot along. 6. Another thing I've got to disagree on. I know a lot of people hate the accelerator suits because they weren't "real" like the comics. However, I have pointed out many times that the comics weren't quite as "real" as people remember, especially in the first 10 issues. Think about giant robots, nano-bugs, SEA legs, underwater bases, etc. Also, ROC borrowed GIJOe source material from various aspects of the franchise: "life-like hair and a kung-fu grip" from the 12" line; "Knowing is half the battle" from the cartoon, and I think the accelerator suits were a nice nod to Sigma Six. So, for me, the accelerator suits don't pose near the problem as others make them out to be. 7. I wasn't happy about either "helmet" reveal here either. I could probably live with Destro's nano-mask; but without having to re-write the entire story, I think fans would have accepted this scene better had Rex put on his traditional chrome-dome Cobra Commander helmet. 8. I don't think this would go over well at all. Reserving the franchise's main villian for a post-credit scene would have garnered even more complaints. Now before someone mentions Thanos, remember Thanos wasn't revealed in a post-credit scene until after the Mavel Universe had already established 5 prior movies - each of which had their own villains that (for the most part) operated independently from Thanos. This is not quite comparable to G.I. Joe The "Avengers" franchise had/has multiple villains to choose from that stand alone from Thanos. But in G.I. Joe, all the bad guys seem to be working for the same major villain--Cobra Commander. The three major areas I see where ROC suffered are: 1. Fan expectation - I think too many fans were expecting "Tears of the Sun," or some type of comic book adaptation. This is why so many fans cried out against the nano-mite tech, accelerator suits, and the underwater base final battle. However, again, like I've pointed out many times, all of these aspects were pulled from the comics, cartoon, and various G.I. Joe universes. 2. Duke/Baroness/Rex plot. To me, this is probably the most unforgiving part of the story. I don't know how you could "fix" ROC and still keep this in. Unless there's quite a bit of deleted scenes that were left in the editing room, I just can't see how you could edit the Duke/Baroness/Rex plot out of ROC and still make any sense. So, in that aspect, I would say just re-write the entire story and somehow make it retro-fit with Retaliation. 3. It's crazy to think that a helmet could cause controversy in a film, but imagine if in the X-Men movies if Professor X's Cerebro helmet or Magneto's helmet or Cyclop's glasses or even Juggarnaught's helmet were so radically changed as to not resemble the comic book/cartoon version at all. That's what this movie did with Cobra Commander's helmet. I think fans could have overlooked the goofy Duke/Baroness/Rex plot had Rex just put on a chrome-dome Cobra Commander helmet at the end. My two cents, Jason |
