I'll give this movie a chance as long as they don't make Storm Shadow some dumb outdated outsider hating Japanese stereotype, I'm pretty hopefull we will get a good depiction of Storm Shadow in this film, I'm getting kind of sick of evil Storm Shadow.

Even if the movie doesn't do well, as long as the Classified figures and merch sells they are gonna keep making them, lack of film, cartoon cancellations or flops like the Last Knight didn't stop Transformers since the toys still sell, so if the toys are selling still well enough we shouldn't see them just wrap up the entire franchise again. Also they might be in this for the long haul with the TV series in the works, and already planning a 2nd movie apparently, so they might not quit right away.
The biggest threat to the brand is if the Snake Eyes movie merch is a huge failure and clogs shelves, which can hurt the rest of the brand. They seem pretty close in this movie unlike the other live action film where SS hated Snake Eyes since childhood apparently. Are they gonna put in the heel turn to make SS bad guy in this movie though? Last edited by PanzerKrake; 07-01-2021 at 08:30 AM.. |

Introducing Zartan in the mix (we all know is part of the original story) would be a decent way of slowly peppering in and fleshing out the whole of COBRA Command while advancing the whole "heel turn" plot. I never liked the idea of "Evil Storm Shadow". While definitely not a saint, he's far more complex than that.

I really doubt I'll go see this.
I'm a bit of a traditionalist with G.I.Joe. They changed so much about Snake Eyes in this movie, for whatever reason, that it's just a ninja movie with Joe code names added. No, Snakes doesn't need to be a Nam vet. But that (sadly) was not our last war. Look at "The A-Team"; Updated to be operating in Iraq. Worked great, no problem. They spit on Larry Hama's brilliant backstory. If this movie flops, I think they'll know why. Maybe even try again. Heck, see if Hama will write the script.

I agree. That will be three and they say the third one is a charm or three strikes and your out.
