A SE movie has potential. I agree that it can't be Vietnam, have you guys seen any Vietnam vets lately? The are old men. Although, I suppose they could start it out sort of like the Lone Ranger movie (which I hated btw, I loved the old tv series AND the 80s move), with an old guy, maybe a retired Stalker or Hawk telling the stories of Snake Eyes through Vietnam, the 70s, and 80s, with him hopefully retiring to raise little ninjas and teach ninja school.
However, maybe a reboot has SE getting injured (you know, the whole burned face thingy) hunting down a WMD maker in Iraq, or hunting Bin Laden down in Pakistan, or even trying to stop 9/11. I say change some of the characters up a little too, not as bad as Rise of Cobra with foreign soldiers, but is there still a car culture in NJ that would produce Clutch? Maybe he comes from the south like Crankcase. Or builds tuners instead of muscle cars. Maybe Rock n Roll is a SEAL like the one comic run. Point being, it might be time to move on from ARAH, just a little bit. Not throw the concept out, but change it up a little. After all, I was a kid when ARAH came out, I am now retired from the service. Maybe it is time for some of the joes to retire too. And NO to six inch action figures. |

It might be magical thinking, but the Rise of Cobra with the Sunbow Score is pretty amazing (it is posted on this forum). If they don't do a movie with such a score, if it was an option on the DVD/Blu it would be a huge draw.
Having the Sunbow score really improves everthing!

Just checked IMDB...not sure if this was in earlier pages of the thread (not reading 35 pages) but the title of the new Joe film went from Gi Joe 3 to Gi Joe: Ever Vigilant and has a plot point update.

Call it Silent Interlude. No dialogue. I’d watch it.

It doesn't have to take place in 2019. Present Day in such a movie could be the late 80s, with flashback sequence(s) to his time in Vietnam. G.I. Joe always had a slight campy aspect to it that fits great with a late '80s timeframe anyway. Many of us have Vietnam-vintage relatives and grew up in the '80s so it's a highly relatable timeframe for the same high-disposable-income market that modern era ARAH figures have been marketed to. Who knows, it might even be more successful than trying to reboot G.I.Joe into a 2010-era special operations group which is a genre that's beyond played out.

Bubblebee was basically mute in all the films, cept they gave him droid sounds, movie/music voice clips make up for it. I guess they could theoretically pull it off with Snake-Eyes too - and retain Ray Park or have two actors play the role.
But we'll have to see how Bubblebee does Box Office and storywise/movie wise. Hasbro, aside from the Transformers franchise does not do well like Marvel overall does, so its hard to see Snake-Eyes being like a Wolverine spinoff of X-Men or even Venom. Even Star Wars is hit and miss and plagued with problems galore on how Lucasfilm has been handling the brand. So far the only good thing they did was bring Park back as Darth Maul, but placed in small cameo at the end of of a largely mediocre film. A great cameo like Maul's cannot save a weak movie. But he was easily the best thing in a long time coming. If they make a Darth Maul spinoff, I hope it does not interfere with Park returning as Snake-Eyes, if he does, as so far its not clear they will bring him back. |

I've always felt that they need to treat GI Joe more like a comic book superhero team than a hardcore military unit. They were inspired by SHIELD after all.
