If Duke dies, that is fine. Even Larry H. would have loved to gotten rid of him. Roadblock was often the leader in both the comics and cartoon so I don't see an issue - and bringing in Colton allows him to be a "first shirt" and not an officer. I think it was genius to kill off in a big battle the Joe team to re-create it with new actors - leaving viewers of the first movie to assume Hawk, Ripcord, Scarlett, Heavy Duty and Breaker are dead. It will be interesting to hear how they deal with the Pit - will it even be mentioned or shown?
I still don't buy what we have heard. It would be quite unusual and even very daring to kill off a star - no matter how you feel about Channing Tatum - without a dramatic exit, which I don't see with him blowing up behind a humvee. I think, regardless of the critical reaction, that this movie will be better for a number of reasons - not the least that they are dialing the movie back in terms of sci-fi and going closer to the mythos of GI Joe without adding unnecessary layers (ie. the international flavor, the strange CC mask and origin, the Baroness connection, the Ripcord-Scarlett affair, SE origin). I'm sure there will still be many deviations from the comics/cartoons/filecards but at least they are sliding this towards the heyday of GI Joe.

I hate when they do two ending tests, people vote for the dumbest cop out ending. I Am Legend anyone? People voted for the terrible ending instead of going with the good ending just because the terrible ending gave them hope.
Point of my post, the ending to Retaliation is going to suck and be all happy go lucky.
