As nostalgic as the 1987 GIJoe movie was it was silly IMO. And green street hooligans (the 1st one) is literally one of the best movies ever made. So if she gets ahold of GI Joe. I’m fucking in

Yes it is. I have posted several times that Fast and Furious and mission impossible are the best GI Joe movies that have been made. Fast and furious since the fifth one has been dynamite commando strike team style fun that rocked better than any Joe movie.
This year there are fast and furious and MI movies hitting theaters and my theory is that the snake eyes movie was placed where it is to sport the MI trailers.

Eh, all the supposed "real-ass" stuff nowadays is hackneyed horseshit. Resolute was fun, but it was also a lotta generic stuff pop culture nerds call "edgy". GI Joe itself is silly (and that includes the name, both in reality & in people's perception of it), is still trying to be a kid's property, and should probably stick with a more fantastical approach. I'm thinking more of a James Bond & MCU approach rather than Zach Snyder's brand of faux-grit or Black Hawk Down-type realism. Personally, out of all the recent Joe media, I think Renegades got the tone closest to "right."
Now if Hasbro decides to quit trying to target GI Joe to kids & let it be an adult collector thing, then they should definitely go all "dark" & Resolute-y, since that's what most geeks seem to want. Always cater to your base, is what I'm saying.

Realism is overrated. I watch movies, read books and play video games to ESCAPE reality. I utterly fucking hate the current reality and seek to spend as little time in It as possible.

There’s still serious action and mature storytelling, but it’s not the whole generic “grimdark” edginess that so many nerds think makes something “cool” when instead it just makes it generic and forgettable. |

It being catered to babies and kids it’s entire life. Now that most are older, it should get a little more mature.

Pursuit of Cobra type “dark” GI Joe is fine, but once you go full blown Gerard Butler Submarine movie type “realistic” and “gritty”, than it seems like every other “gritty” army video game out there and loses what’s special about GI Joe. As good as resolute was, it did seem quite generic and forgettable
