The problem is that America is an island of awesome in a sea of pussies. Now alot of that pussified drift has washed onto our shores and we're starting to smell a lot like tuna.

That was going to be the motto on the new Retaliation packaging before going with the Roadblock is a ninja commando angle.

You nailed the problem ...
IT'S SIMPLE And Hollywood hates simple odd seeing as they spoon feed everything in movies and aim at the lowest common denominator. But there seems to be a big problem that keeps repeating itself. That is to make a dumb story ,Or no story at all, and take characters and try to give them motives. Even Spider-man now has a tortured past. Nobody cares what happened to him when he was 8. his origin story is a 15 min opening just before the credits. James Bond is now a man out for revenge. a hero does not need any connection to a villain other than they are good and the right thing to do is stop the bad guy. as you stated G.I.Joe writes itself.. Problem is screen writers have egos and they all want to think they are doing Shakespeare . |

The problem is they don't strictly want a GI Joe movie. They want a movie that will play in all countries, and to all audiences. Even the ones who oppose military actions, or are not American. I don't agree with it, but that is how Hollywood thinks. They do not approach this the way they would a military action flick, they are approaching it as a kid-friendly PRODUCT and the more sales of that product the better. So it is softened, made more friendly, and anything remotely controversial is removed.
For a worse example, look at Battleship. They had to toss in aliens rather than admit the fact that there are conflicts among humans on Earth today. It needed to be "safe" (and we see how well it did for them in the end!) They could give a wet fart less what its about. THAT..is truly the problem. If the people in charge were truly fans of the mythos ROC would have NEVER happened.

If my internet wasn't down, or if I could copy and paist from my phone this would be my new sig quote... I almost shed a tear when I read it. Then I snaped back to and had my wife kick me in the balls for acting like a pussy.

Lol, maybe it will be! Only time will tell. Maybe time will never tell. We may never know the truth. We may already know the truth and just not realize it, preferring instead to speculate on "what the problem is". I see no big problem with my analogy the way it stands right now, but maybe it wasn't the best example I could have chosen to try and make my point, lol.
