My question is this. Why is everyone complaining about the 2 soon to be 3 Gi Joe movies? I mean when I was a kid I always wanted a Joe movie, we got that Toon movie but I wanted a real Live Action movie and yes the actor/story choices were and will not be to everyones liking but come on people we get Live Action movies of our childhood toys and I think it's awesome. So I don't understand why all the hate/complaining.

Because some fanboys can't accept that G.I.joe is not limited to what their own self-important and limited imaginations say it is. Nobody from Hollywood came to THEM- the biggest Joe fans evah' - and asked their opinions or ideas and that pisses them off. They'll say accepting anything less then what their childhood memories are made of is allowing yourself to be spoon-feed Hollywood's BS and you're not a fan because a 'real' fan wouldn't accept ROC/retaliation as G.I.Joe. Nothing (short of getting millions of dollars handed to them to make their own movie) is going to make them happy- best to just forget them and move on with your love of G.I.joe in all it's crazy forms.

If you have a problem confusing the two, that's your own issue. There is no comparasion. Joe is not supposed to be realistic or r-rated. You can't have nanomit-infused shape changers in Zero Dark Thirty.

And most of those fans want a "realistic" Joe movie but quicky forget that Joe WAS NEVER REALISTIC!! EVER!!

GI Joe is a fantasy of a military team. Always has been, always will be. As much as people hate to admit it ROC was closer to true GI Joe than ZDT. Nanites, world domination, underwater fortress - have we forgotten the unabashed absurdity of the Sunbow cartoon? Even the Marvel series, while trying to be serious is absurd and a cartoon version of the military.

Wait, was a Bin Laden a used car salesman? Did he have a henchwoman that was essentially a European version of Paris Hilton, and they both based their careers in terrorism on one mute, masked, Ranger-ninja even though he personally did nothing to them and they had plenty of time to kill him before he was recruited into the fancy anti-terrorist team specifically formed to combat their terrorist organization? Because I missed that in the trailer.
No, the movies that need to worry about looking too similar are "Olympus Has Fallen" and "White House Down". |
