No. Pretty sure if the producers stuck to the source material a little more faithfully, there would be less chatter.
Anyway, I wish the series luck if for the selfish reason of perhaps getting some 1:18 toys out it. At least better toys that b/s "retro" we're being fed. |

Try not to read too much into things. I've seen and heard complaints have gone from "Ripcord isn't supposed to be black" to "Rock wasn't black enough to play Roadblock." |

Rock wasnt black enough to be Roadblock lol...
The Roadblock I remember with his southern accent and all, would probably be too offensive for "woke" people |

I was - as I quoted - referring to TheSteelBrigade's fallacious reasoning that the only way to avoid complaints is to star white, male characters. I made no mention to any one particular instance - show or movie.

That's ridiculous dude, the only thing people would hate about a classic interpretation of Roadblock is if he was still arbitrarily rhyming everything he says |

Awesome news. As one of my favorite characters, I'm all for this. I could see Lady Jaye being part of a group of newbies, being brought onto the team. Her feisty, rough personality could make for some great drama and conflicts. Maybe she really hates this cocky guy named Flint at first, too...

I like the idea of it being a Spider-Man New Warriors style recruitment race between Jaye and Baroness. Famke Janssen maybe? This could be fun if they focus on how rapport and experiences impact how people choose their sides, rather than making each episode a video game fetch quest with a random decision at the end.
Don't quite know who I would cast as Jaye. I think somebody like Olivia Munn is a good starting point. Somebody with between a fair and olive complexion who could play a physically demanding spy game across Eurasia. |

What's truly hilarious about this thread is that Hasbro has said nothing about the show except that it will be about Lady Jaye - a long established and popular character within the franchise. They have not announced anything about allegedly changing the character in any way. That's a straw man argument based on nothing.
Apparently, the mere fact that they would have the audacity to make a TV show about one of the girl characters is more than enough to make some people lose their frikkin' minds. How dare they make a G.I. Joe show with girls in it? What a travesty! Oh, how unfair it is to the boys! Nobody ever makes TV shows about boys!! How will our delicate male egos endure such an outrage?!?! Last edited by Josh Z; 02-25-2021 at 07:58 PM.. |

If it has the actress from Retaliation, I could watch her all day long. She’s awesome in The Orville.
