"Doing whatever is necessary" and "honor" are opposites. Doing things honorably gets rid of the necessary part, as there are some things that just can't be done.

That's good news, Lee Byung Hun's potrayal of Storm Shadow was one of the best things about ROC.

Interesting.
I don't think RoC Storm Shadow can defect to the Joes. He's done some pretty horrible things well working for MARS/Cobra. If you think about it, Marvel Storm Shadow was never shown doing evil things well working for Cobra, so it's easier to believe that he was working undercover and still had his honor. RoC Storm Shadow on the other hand, he's just evil. As for ROC Storm Shadow being evil? How do we know that the PIT troopers he sliced up aren't dead? Hawk wasn't dead. Hell Storm Shadow had the same beast pistol as Baroness but didn't kill Hawk, he didn't even use it. Didn't kill Duke in the arctic. Didn't kill Snake Eyes. There is nothing about him in the movie that makes him inherently evil. Maybe letting Cover Girl die was necessary in his eyes as to not blow his cover(no pun intended). In that respect, he walks a similar gray area that IDW's General Hawk treads. Quote:

And the idea of using "nanomite brainwashing" won't stick because the Baroness, though brainwashed, still enjoyed the bad deeds she did.
Which would mean that SS would as well. Which means he's not the honorable guy from the comics. Not really Chief. ALot of bad guys thru history and in media had the "no women, no children" thing. Quote:
Now if they really want to make SS turn good, that would have to be in the 3rd movie. The 2nd would have to involve him doing something so horrible that it kind of wakes him up to what he's been doing, how he's been acting and how it doesn't honor anyone's memory.
He would need to have an eiphany (sp?). A moment where he goes "what have I done" and then runs off and meditates for awhile. Storm Shadow(Resolute aside) has typically been portrayed as a heroic figure who has personal demons and must live a lie to find the truth. That's the defining aspect of his character. Without that, he just a generic ninja in white who is only in white because Snake Eyes is in black and for some reason the yin/yang comparison this evokes seems cool to some fans. Well that and he, like Snake Eyes is a ninja. So give me the Storm Shadow with more depth over the Storm Shadow who is all evil just to be a foil for Snake Eyes. I don't mind seeing them fight and seeing something divide them, but to have Storm Shadow as just some evil ninja? Don't we have enough of that already? In Sigma 6 Storm Shadow is a Joe who is brainwashed by Cobra. Throughout the "new sculpt" years, he was always branded as a ninja with unknown motives, this was always open to interpretation but it was always hinted at that he was never truly supporting Cobra. True. I'd LOVE to see Snake Eyes take on Firefly. I think that is a great rival for him. Let Storm Shadow take on Zartan. Storm Shadow was known to be lesser in skill with the shuriken and sword to Snake Eyes, and possibly lesser in skill in archery than Zartan; yet even though Zartan studied under Onihashi, Storm Shadow is the better swordsman... |

Just because Storm Shadow has a "code of honor" doesnt mean he does honorable things by common standards. His code of honor could just mean "complete the mission" for example. ...now if they are following the comics we know hes only doing those bad things while hes undercover...

Bah, keep Storm Shadow evil. It's where he always should have been and stayed.

You can still have that without Storm Shadow being good.
