Hasbro executive: I'm sorry captain mal, but your idea of the Joes and Cobras "slotting" together is enforcing gender norms of the male and female reproductive dynamic that we are trying to get away from. What if someone wants 2 Joes or 2 Cobras and they are embarrassed that their card backs don't "slot" together? Did you think of that, captain mal? Yeah, we didn't think so.

The FAR MORE LIKELY issue is logistics. How do you balance stock, what if someone wants just one or two of the same faction, etc. That said, the last time GI Joe really had momentum among kids AND collectors was during the JvC days. So I feel there ARE lessons to be learned from that era.

I mean for anyone following the box office, new franchises are really failing to bring in money. A $200 Disney adventure movie starring the rock failed to bring in even $40 million opening weekend and now The Suicide Squad is getting great reviews but might not top $30 million this weekend. While the bare numbers for Snake Eyes are disappointing, I don’t think they are as disappointing as they appear on the surface. If I’m Hasbro, I go along with the Lady Jaye series to see if perhaps television is the route that GI JOE should go (which is probably the right answer) and then maybe try a GI JOE movie that ties in with Snake Eyes before trying to do a Snake Eyes 2.

Here is the fix: stop trying to make movies - and stop trying to 'update' the story. Instead, create an animated streaming series... a-la Clone Wars. Don't dumb it down. In fact - make it an adaptation of Marvel's GIJoe comic series. The stories are there. Just ADAPT them and animate them. Don't re-write them. Don't make Snake Eyes a jerk looking to avenge his father. Follow the original stories very closely... only updating things to modernize them - like creating a fake modern conflict to replace the Vietnam War. Don't 'kiddie-fy' it. Keep it borderline mature - with deaths, scary parts, violence, etc. Kids hate being talked down to.
You'd win over the kiddies - and the adult collectors would also love it. |
