RIPD had a similar plot like Men In Black. A police officer(Ryan Reynolds)is killed and find himself in some afterlife police force. Instead of chasing aliens he is chasing criminal spirits.

If God forbid this movie bricks and the Action Force project is a success I going to personally tell Bobby Vala to get together a group of investors, make a pitch to a venture capital firm to get the seed money so he can make an offer to Hasbro for the G.I. JOE brand.
Who said anything about liking a bad movie?

I ask myself the same question.
Do we keep bitching and bitching until they decide to make a Marvel comic accurate GI Joe movie? If we don't watch it, will Hasbro say, "Noone likes GI Joe anymore"? If we don't watch it, will Hasbro say, "Okay, let's give the comic book accurate group what they want"? If we do all support the movie, will Hasbro say, "Wow! They all love the new direction we taking GI Joe. Let's keep going in this new direction". Or, if we all support the movie, will Hasbro say, "Okay, they supported what we wanted to give them. It made money. Now let's turn around and make more movies closer to the Marvel comics"? As an aside, Zack Snyder would go "comic book accurate" but people would complain about the issue he chose. ;) |

I agree. I am not sure what the big deal is with those figures other than they are made by a old hasbro employee. At least not for the price.

Has anyone outright said DO it? Because yeah that would be forcing. I *think* what we've been saying (at least I have) is that *if* you want *this* in all likelihood you might want to do *this*. It's the same as parachuting out of a perfectly good airplane. If you want to come out healthy, you *might* want to pull the cord. Hasbro has been more than plain to the point most of us (as opposed to with the whole CI situation) knows what will happen to the brand if we don't. Sure, supporting a bad movie (IF it's bad) could lead to similar bad moves and merch for it, but it will also lead to more of what we want, simply because once there IS a hit, you can bet your bottom dollar Hasbro will try to sell us anything and everything we want. Because then it will be a relevant, growing brand again. See my point?

I do like what Vala is doing though. I hope he succeeds if only to drive quality and variety for both products. I wish the Army Alpha Kickstarter turned out better as well. Last edited by puckzx6; 06-25-2021 at 11:07 AM.. |

It's an interesting concept of G.I. Joe fans feeling the need to support the movie. Obviously the movie isn't being made in order to appeal to fans who are already fans of the G.I. Joe strictly speaking. The movie was made in order to make money. Now the hope is that it does appeal to Joe fans already, but I don't think that's the thrust of the endeavor.
I don't know the numbers of G.I. Joe fans that exist and am not sure those numbers exist with any accuracy anyways, but Joe fans are probably a smaller segment of the population than we assume it is. And fan is a loose word because the definition is fluid. But let's use fan to mean people who are hardcore into Joe and talk on forums dedicated to G.I. Joe as a reference. I think if you want more action figured being made, it may be helpful to support the movie, but if the whole of Joe fandom doesn't, but the movie appeals to segments of the population and does well, it may lead to bigger brand recognition and increase the fandom overall that the point is moot. The whole point of movies, video games, t.v. shows is to help grow the brand name and get new fans hooked into consuming the brand and sustain it over time. |
