It's pretty simple. He starts the movie unmasked and talking because he isn't Snake Eyes. By movie's end he will be Snake Eyes: masked up, silent, and likely recruited into GI Joe by Scarlett while Storm Shadow goes with Baroness. The WHY that happens is what the movie will reveal, hence it's an origin story.

I didn't watch the teaser so not going to watch the trailer either. I figure I'll just go in and be fully surprised and not sour myself with preconceived assumptions.

I didn't go so far as to read the spoiler summary, and I'm actively avoiding that thread, but I feel like the more prepared I am for what it is the less mad I'll be about what it isn't. But that's just me and my personality though. I have a real tendency to get my hopes up and then feel let down.

I'm curious. How did you form this opinion? The trailer got leaked almost 24 hours ago... but was quickly removed. So, either you watched it last night - then waited a whole day before posting - OR (most likely), you have not even seen the trailer and are just trolling.
Ah, I love keyboard warriors. (eating crow... see below) Last edited by captain mal; 06-20-2021 at 10:51 PM.. |

I take back what I said. Thanks. Watching it now. I'll give my reaction when I get thru it.
Edit - okay, I watched it. Bleh. Yeah - I would have to agree with you... looks like garbage. I won't be paying to see it. I thought we were getting a reboot... but this just looks like an origin story to the already-existing crappiness of ROC and Retaliation. It literally looks like the same exact mindset. Watered down, slightly-changed characters, outrageous action, overlayed with techy-looking CGI to make it all look 'modern'. I had hopes that it would be good. So, Snake Eye and Storm Shadow are no longer military. Snake Eyes 'saves' Storm Shadow - but not out of any brotherly bond. Instead, its just lazy writing. Storm Shadow invites him to come to the clan. The clan has some special 'power' (are they Jedi?). Baroness shows up and ties to be sexy. Calls him Snake Eyes. He gets some hi-tech digital visor and wears the outfit even before he is disfigured. (I'm guessing he will not get disfigured at all now. It will be some stupid 'vow of silence'... just wait and see) I work in the creative industry. I have a saying with my clients - "Are we changing it to make it BETTER? Or are we changing it just to make it DIFFERENT?" This applies 110% here. I don't understand why they feel the need to change the story - when it is clearly only 'different'... it's in no way 'better'. Oh well, hope the kiddos like it and buy lots of toys.

But that's just me and my personality though. I have a real tendency to get my hopes up and then feel let down. And again, I put up with "R2-B2" for the better part of a decade. I've tolerated the utter abomination of Age of Extinction. Nothing I've seen thus far says Snake Eyes will reach those depths. Also reiterating that...I never had Snake Eyes as a kid. In the cartoons, he was a complete non-entity. And no future cartoon or the first feature film did anything of note with him beyond "the cool ninja guy". Again, this is the first major Hasbro project I've seen where they're actually trying to make Snake Eyes a legitimate character. So I'm willing to give them a chance.
