This was surprising (or was it) to read on ROC's wikipedia page"
"After leaked drafts of the script were criticized by fans, Larry Hama, writer of the comic book series G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, was hired as creative consultant, and rewrites were made." |

Gi joe has too many good characters for a 2 hour movie. They need a tv show and a cartoon IMO

by quality and detail.. and people "caring" about GiJoe..
are you speaking of Cobra Eels using Torpedo's body, harpoon gun, and flippers? Or are you speaking of Snow Serpent using Snowjob's body and snow shoes, Bazooka's backpack and weapons, Cobra Valkyries' guns and knife, etc? If quality, detail, and caring were priorities, these 2 figures would not be getting released in this embarrassing fashion. but Hasbro needing to make money does explain it I would love to see Torpedo, Wet-Suit, the Eels in fatigues or the JOEs in cold weather gear and I wouldn't mind the JOE team use existing tooling for these figures. Also, the same is be true for Siegie cadets and the twins in their Crimson Guard uniforms. G.I. JOE is military line so the JOEs and COBRA can get away with reuse because they're all supposed to be in the same unit and uniformity is to be expected. As PhantomTrblmkr once said on Audible Interlude: A GI Joe Podcast, "Dudes will complain about reuse in G.I. JOE when the entire M.O.T.U. was built upon reuse." I accept reuse as a reality and I don't have problem with it as along as it isn't over done as with the Bucky-Cap mold.

It would be stupid to create a whole new sculpt just for different pocket placement or wrinkles. |

[I]Another factor that plays into the delay of a live-action Barbie film is Mattel's protectiveness of Barbie's image. When drafting the script that would eventually form Pixar's 1995 mega-hit Toy Story, Mattel was approached about having Barbie appear in the film. The original script called for Barbie, a party dress-wearing, ultra-feminine, badass action hero in the vein of*Sigourney Weaver, to drive up in her pink Corvette, order the toys to get in the car, and then drive them to safety. Mattel, simply, wouldn't accept depicting their precious Barbie in such a manner. According to director John Lasseter, Mattel 'believed that little girls, when they play with Barbie, make up the personality of the toy. They didn't want us (Pixar) to say, 'When Barbie comes alive, she's like this. - https://collider.com/barbie-live-act...nto%20theaters

Interesting. That explains why the character was such a blank slate, ready to be picked up and worn by a fundamentalist ideological movement.

Because the studio wanted to chance core aspects of SE for starters. With it being 14 years now, I forget alot of the other stuff that Im sure someone else could recap that they wanted to change. There was also the whole International thing, GIJoe being an acronym....
