From the USA TODAY article...
"Sommers stresses that the movie is an origins story, so his challenge is to explain why the bad guy wears a metal mask, why Snake Eyes doesn't talk and other strange things kids took for granted. "For people who know nothing about it, it'll make sense," Sommers says. "And to people who love this stuff, it'll show where they all came from." " I had no idea it was going to be an origins story. I kind of expected it to start as if Joe and Cobra had been going at it for years. Or something like X-men, where the team already exists and a lone character (Snake Eyes?) like Wolverine joins the team during the ongoing war with Cobra. Anyways, it's a good idea if it really is a true ORIGINS story. |

The G.I.Joe "operation" already exists, as does Destro's MARS. It is an origin story, yes, but more in relation to Cobra.
As in, perhaps this isn't "G.I.Joe Begins", but "Cobra Begins" instead. I think it's a very interesting move, if risky.

They are also telling stories of why characters are where they are. Baroness, Destro, Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow. They don't want to just start the movie with all of the characters set in place with no back stories. It's a wise move for those who aren't familiar with the back stories, and ads a treat for the fans.
