I hope his screen time is as limited as possible.

I kind of see him showing up, in the movie's climax w/ a bunch of his service buddies, turned deputized joes and supporting Flint,et al. ina battle, or maybe in the movie's end, where someone would say to flint's team:"Hey, look who I found?" bam!, in comes Duke, a little bit banged up, but okay.

I still think they're actually going to kill him off, though I will easily concede that it's just as likely he spends the movie as a "guest" of Cobra.
Still, the reason I lean towards "kill" is that with the Rock already being pushed as the new leading man of the series (and DJ Cotrona's Flint supporting him in the "traditionally handsome guy" role), Tatum becomes irrelevant. There's no point in keeping him on the franchise payroll just to sideline him. I hope it's true, just for the reactions it will undoubtedly evoke (both good and bad). Heck, even the previews suddenly had hypocritical fans that hated Tatum in the first movie complaining, "You can't kill Duke!" Plus I like the idea that Hasbro and Paramount may have finally just "moved past Duke." Turn him into a character like Hawk or Stalker who gets a new figure every couple of years instead of every other wave. Let other characters (And the ever-present Snake-Eyes of course) take the spotlight. Last edited by Jmacq1; 01-18-2012 at 08:03 AM.. |

May very well be. This production seems bound and determined to try to win the "lapsed" fans back over, and given that Tatum's performance was one of the most disliked and derided parts of the first movie, what better way to show the fans "this ain't like the last G.I. Joe movie!" than by brutally killing off (arguably) the most hated part of the first movie in the first 10 minutes of the second?
In other words, Tatum's death would be fan-service. Like if George Lucas had Darth Vader slice Jar-Jar Binks in half in Episode III. |

I'd love if they moved past Duke and let other characters get the spotlight.

Like the first film, but also there were more pieces to it that bugged me then duke. By what I've been seeing , reading and such.. it's more so been a pleasure to see coming together. As for duke having a death scene.. it goes far beyond the original meant to die scene in the original animated film from the late 80's. Or have we forgotten that a spear through the chest sends you into a coma instead of into a coffin? this is a great step for the franchise. what is wrong with drama?
