Yes it does. The problem is Hasbro and Paramount have been attaching G.I. JOE to these bullshit live action films.

di Bonaventura and his Ego need to go and they need someone to pull an MCU and be faithful to the Source material while modernizing where needed instead of remaking things in their own image to feed their bloated egos.

Right, except I have no problem with making things in their own image to feed their bloated egos as long as the story is dope.

Live action too often we get something like Robocop or Ghostbusters. Occasionally we get something good like moving Wonder Woman from World War II to World War I, but generally it's bad news when Hollywood starts acting like they are going to do something better than the original. |

The problem is too often it's cartoons where a team getting unshackled from the past produces something that is must see. 2012 was a nice cartoon year with TMNT and Thundercats getting to have a different take on a beloved cartoon.

I can't see how it could have possibly helped. Barely anyone saw it, and most who did didn't care for it. That said, maybe some kids got to see it and thought it was cool and will end up finding better Joe content later.
Paramount has no excuse on screwing up Joe. It's gotta be ego and the fact that they don't respect the property or the audience. Because Joe should be a slam dunk every time. Expendable/MI/Bond/Bourne in a blender and sprinkle on a touch of the Jet Li solo film style. Easy money. There are a hundred solid issues of source material, and a huge cast of great characters to pull from. The cast they had in this film could have delivered a great Snake Eyes origin story had Hollywood had any real interest in doing one. They simply don't.
