It's all heresy right now. Nothing solid. Only a couple trailers, July 23rd release date, movie focused toys and role play items, and a few few interviews but I don't call anything concrete until I see the actual movie on the big screen.

There's a lot of things that bother me about the upcoming Snake Eyes film.
The casting is not one of them. I think this Golding fellow might do a great job. But after you alter enough descriptive elements and origin plot points, is it even Snake Eyes? They've pretty much re-written him from scratch. Whatever - that sucks for fans. What really bothers me is that they're giving him a name. I read in an article that they're gonna tell us his real name. Isn't one of the great parts of the Snake Eyes character that he's a mystery? That he can sort of be anyone? That his name is forever "classified"? Haven't I even heard Larry Hama literally say something just like that? Explaining the character's success...? I absolutely love the 5 part comic about Snake Eyes called "Agent of Cobra". There's this monologue of Destro and he's talking about how sometimes he wonders if, in the event that he could lift Snake Eyes' mask, if it's just empty inside. If there's anyone in there at all... I love that. Snake Eyes is my favorite comic character. And I'm bothered that they're giving Snake Eyes a name. |

The number of people who truly care (or even know) about Snake Eyes' origin story is not significant enough to make a difference in terms of box office. The smart money is on a total revamp. The film seems to be a perfect compromise, fresh casting, modern take but heavily influenced by Larry Hama's stories.

Not sure I'll see it though, right away. Maybe I'll see what fans think first. IDK, its weird. I don't want to contribute to potentially turning away new fans or young people from seeing it, either. So maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut and not even posted this. Oops! I'm of split minds, to say the least. GI Joe is basically the last pop culture/fantasy/sci fi/fictional property that I have clung onto, as I have just let one after another go.

Is this stuff keeping some of you awake at night? I mean come on. You cant change it unless you write your own script. 100 messages about this have already been posted about this and all have said the same thing. Just let it go and watch the movie. If you don't like never watch it again and move on.

After Rise Of Cobra, Transformers The Last Knight & Earthrise on Netflix, I no longer care about the fiction. My cat can write better stories. All that matters to me are the toys. Hollywood can go F itself.

If I were doin' a Snake Eyes movie he would have a name, but something would happen where you would never hear it spoken, like a noise in the background or the character in who was about to say his name would be interupted and he or she would never get it out.
This would be asking too much for Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse,(the script writers,) Robert Schwentke, Lorenzo di Bonaventura Hasbro, or Paramount too be this forward thinking, but if S. E. is to have a name it would be dope as fuck if his name was Larry Hama, but fuck all of that. No you shouldn't be worried for the following reasons. 1) Snake Eyes G. I. JOE Origins isn't a live action interpretation of the Hamaverse. It's it's own cinematic universe. 2) You're not going to see this movie with the intention of liking or enjoying it. You're going to see the Snake Eyes movie to fulfill your duty as (I'm assuming,) a life long fan of G. I. JOE on order to help the JOE brand regain it's popularity and relevance so that the JOEs don't get mothballed like M.A.S.K. and the GoBots did.
