I can live with him being Asian. What gives me pause with an up and coming "next big thing" star like Golding is that we're going to see and hear him a LOT in this movie, and probably more to come. I don't see producers wanting to establish a franchise with this guy as the main attraction, and then covering up his face much at all. This guy draws girls. He's a pretty good actor, and charming as hell, but he has no male fan base to speak of. To me, this seems like a willfully ignorant approach to "selling" a GI Joe movie, and reeks of the decision-making that made the first two movies fail.

As someone who's Asian as well as a fan of G.I. Joe canon, at this point I don't care one way or the other...
...I just want a GOOD G.I. Joe movie. |

For how good Paramount is at dropping bombs, you'd think a GIJoe movie would be a walk in the park for them.

So then, what we're actually getting is a Quick-Kick movie disguised as a Snake Eyes movie.
They need to stop trying to change characters and just make new characters. Then they can do anything with them and it won't tread on nearly 40 years of history. Make a new character that is interesting and has it's own unique appeal rather than trying to ride the coat tails of a well established character like Snake Eyes. |

Snake Eyes has to be something other than Asian based on his relationship with the Arashikage. Ideally he should be a blonde white guy, but I could live with black or latino even. But SE being Asian destroys a lot of the natural tension of him being a Western "outsider" with the Arashikage, and then becoming the best in the clan.

I don't think wanting characters to be portrayed how they classically have been is toxic. Rather, it's the manner in which opinions are shared. For instance, I'm sure no fans here don't want Asian characters in this film; I know, at least for myself, it's about accuracy to something that has mattered to me for over 30 years.

This movie is a reboot and a origin story for Snake-Eyes and of course they are going to make changes and of course you'll see his face and hear him talk. So get over it!

It is what it is fellas. Don't complain or risk being labled a racist. So forget that this characters creator is an asian American vet who could have portrayed him as such given he was only hand a limited concept of a masked commando, forget that Gi joe Arah is probably the most culturally diverse line of action figures to date, forget that you have loved an supported this brand for the last 37 years and eat this garbage that Hollywood will continue to push down your throat or tell them exactly how you feel with your wallet and move on, only most of us won't & we will continue to give up our hard earned dollar while turning to the internet to complain and get out our frustations only to be attacked for not falling in line with the current demonization of anyone who dare have a difference of opinion.
