I just wanted to discuss it "my own way". Ergo, every post must explain why a reboot needs or does not need, "Moar cowbell".

I didn't like ROC. I'm so in the minority, I know.
That said, a reboot isn't 100% necessary. I'd prefer one, but I don't demand the Universe conform to my dreams, hence my relative serenity compared to many other fanboys, I guess. This helps me: I perceive things as interpretations. I don't expect a definitive interpretation of GIJOE as a property because, to me, that already exists in the form of the Marvel comics from the 80's and to a somewhat lesser extent, the Sunbow animation. I can enjoy seeing other interpretations of the GIJOE property that differentiate significantly from what I might want but are still clever and involving to me, like Renegades...and unlike ROC sadly.

See you just prooved for yourself that there can be endless threads on similar subjects and people will still post in them.
You already have more posts than my "Why do we need G.I. Joe 2" counter thread.

Why should there be a movie reboot?
1. GI JOE was an extreme underperformer and disappointment. Didn't make near the money of the other Hasbro franchise, Transformers. Rushed into production with an estimated budget of about $175 million. 2. Key actors are unlikely to return because they thought the first movie was a turd and it really did nothing to advance their careers. JGL hated the movie. He's obviously getting better roles now from the likes of Christopher Nolan so he does not need a franchise like GI JOE now. 3. The movie was a poor introduction and establishing the status quo of GI JOE and Cobra. Cobra was barely even in the movie. The movie was called Rise of Cobra yet Cobra didn't really rise at all in it. 4. The Joes in the movie were essentially bit characters. Mainframe and Heavy Duty didn't even really lift a finger or do anything of any value at all in the movie. 5. Extremely cheesy and lame setup of Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow dynamic. 6. Scarlett/Ripcord - UGH. OK. Scarlett says I CAN'T BE EMOTIONAL AND HAVE ATTACHMENTS, yet she seems to have a bond and friendship with Snake Eyes so that already flies in the face of her BS lines. Ripcord lame comic relief and actually woos Scarlett. Lame. 7. Turned GI JOE into multinational private security BS. That's not GI JOE. GI JOE is not GLOBAL INTEGRATED JOINT OPERATED ENTITY. All the pandering to the overseas and international demos was a complete and utter failure as the movie underperformed overseas as well not performing anywhere near as well as the Transformers movie which aren't afraid of glorifying the American military (not that I'm defending the Transformers movies because they are God awful, but people love 'em so whatever). 8. Hasbro was disappointed with the movie and even say, "We could've done better." |
