everything that was wrong with ROC is easily correctable without a reboot. a reboot solves nothing except to soothe the feelings of a few people who aren't happy unless they are whining, and they don't deserve a reboot.
get over it. the ROC exists, and is the live-action tale of G.I. Joe. and it is a good tale at that, even if it was executed poorly. and no, we don't even need 40 year old actors. most of the characters in G.I. Joe are in the E-5 range, easily in their 20's and 30's. even a kid enlisting at 18 can make E-6 by his early 30's so these are young men on the Joe team. this is just the lack of perspective evident in most collectors who don't realize just because these characters were older than you when you were 10 doesn't mean they have to be older than you now that you are 30, and just because when you were 10 that age and maturity you thought you saw in the characters made them appear to be in their 30's and 40's doesn't mean they were. read the filecards, most of the Joes are easily in their late 20's. |

Know how I know this? Because you posted a declassified flyer which was meant for fun as a NEWS ITEM. No one would ever tell you anything because the VERY FIRST THING you would do is post it here. Probably incorrectly. |

I agree with many here that an outright reboot is not needed. Just better writing and direction. Beyond the first movie, aren't Operation HISS and POC supposed to be in the same continuity? If so, then the 2nd movie may not pick up where the 1st left off and may feel something like a reboot.

look at the 82 characters, all the enlisted guys are E-4's except Stalker, Snake Eyes and Scarlett, who are only E-5's. they are clearly all in their mid to late 20's at the worst, so no need for 30 to 40 year old actors there. 83 characters, I believe only Snow Job is an E-6 and Gung Ho E-7, so again, the Joes are in their 20's. Shipwreck is an E-7. Beach Head E-6. everyone else is generally E-4 to E-5 and in their 20's for the most classic characters. hell, even Steeler, as an officer, is an O-1 and probably in his mid 20's.

Also . . . name one (real) army that doesn't have a standard uniform.
For a kids toy line I can somewhat understand the idea of making each individual character stand out with their own crazy, fruity colour scheme, for a relatively realistic movie . . . not a chance. I for one loved the fact they were running around in the urban camo. I also love the fact that the action figures are mostly wearing it, but that could be the fact that I want a realistic looking military force in my diorama, not a bunch of pimp-my-ride-esque uniformed ninkers.
