I think the truth is often stranger than fiction so that is a starting point for me.... My thought would be to inject some new blood into the Joes, ground it some more and maybe offer about 5 different titles with different Joes in each to spread the wealth and exploit the deep bench of characters. |

I don't take GI Joe seriously at all. I'm amused by the cheese. To me, it's a satire parody of the military turned up to 11 with larger than life characters. A theater of war played out in a comedy club. The only rule in GI Joe is the rule of cool. Why else would a bunch of guys in mismatched camo go out on a mission with a guy in a yellow hazmat suit and a buffoon in a bright red sports jersey? |

That REALLY depends on your definition of fun.

I feel like I mention Thor: Ragnarok in these convos a lot, and it's because that movie was basically everything ever wanted from a MOTU movie except for actually being a MOTU movie. It's rowdy and neon and metal and funny as hell and a little violent and doesn't take itself too seriously and everything's turned up to 11. I want the GI Joe version of that: clever, fresh, and cool as hell.

The dialogue wasn't great, but then neither is Hama's. Quote:
Using the Bond analogy, I think the right tone for Joe is something along the lines of The Living Daylights or Goldeneye. Both have some serious moments, but aren't without humor. Problem is, that's a difficult balance to achieve. |

Joe Johnson's The Rocketeer and Captain America: The First Avenger are good templates.
