I grew up well versed in He-Man and G.I. Joe, and I thought I knew Transformers Generation 1. When they started printing new TF comics from Dreamwave and IDW, I realized I probably only remembered 10 Transformers total. For some, it's a poor memory(or at least you forget things to make room for more important items) and for others it's that there were so many great franchises in the 80's, it's hard to remember everything about all of them(unless you never left the house, had no friends, and never went on any dates. ).

And the most similar character is cartoon Shipwreck. Cartoon Shipwreck always cracked jokes, hit on the ladies, and was sometimes clumsy in battle. If you liked cartoon Shipwreck, you should like movie Ripcord.
I still haven't figured out if people are mad because Ripcord isn't white or that he's being played by Marlon Wayans. |

if you dont like the title of a thread, WHY CLICK ON IT?
btw, please dont try to judge me or lump me in with "you movie haters" cause you DONT KNOW ME. I had PLENTY of dates in my life, that doesnt mean I cant remember cartoon characters names lol...lots of guys remember football players names and numbers... whats the diff? And its not racist to want characters you grew up with to stay the same race...Id be pissed if Stalker was in it and was played by an Asian... You guys remember when they 1st announced the (first) Batman movie? it was optioned for Bill Murray (Batman) and Eddie Murphy(Robin)...how many Bat fans wouldve "just gotten over it"? aaahhh why bother typing more? in fear of getting any more infractions, Ill keep further opinions to myself. (and NO i dont REALLY mean that I "fear" an infraction, you damn LITERAL posters...)

I still haven't figured out if people are mad because Ripcord isn't white or that he's being played by Marlon Wayans. Except if that too starred any of the Wayans family. THAT'S what I'm annoyed about. Damn it, Marlon Wayans is not funny. And I REFUSE to believe that he was the best person for the role, no matter how it's written. I think what happened was they offered the role to dozens of other actors but they passed after reading the script... leaving the Wayans idiot as the only willing participant. P.S. Ripcord as a a character doesn't matter in the least to me, he never has, ever. Boring old figure, boring Assault on Cobra Island figure, overrated storyline in the comic, and a totally forgettable few minor roles in the cartoon. I think a rewrite for this movie was actually in order... with somebody else playing the role. |

Those faulting the actors for not knowing every detail about their character prior to taking on the project should keep in mind Daniel Craig as Bond. The dude knew next to nothing but (in my eyes) is easily the best Bond since Connery. Hell, remember the one where they tried to make Connery Japanese? Blech.

Since everyone's complaining about the Wayans/Ripcord thing, I might as well add something to the mix......
In some early pre-production interviews a few months back, in hopes to get with the stride of Joe fans, he totally attempts to shout the Joes' battlecry ........... "Yoooooooooooo Show!" and "Shoooooooow Joe!" to no avail and earned himself an Epic Fail. Somebody better tell him to shout the battlecry the right way! Tell him it's ............YOJOE! |

ok, agreed with the Wayans cant act part lol, but my point is is that YOU may feel that way about Ripcord, but to SOMEONE ELSE it may be their FAVORITE character...and theyve been waiting most of their life for a GIJOE movie...finally they hear that not only is it being made, but Ripcord is in it! oh the joy on said fans face quickly turns to sorrow when they see that their fav Joe doesnt resemble ANY incarnation at all....my favorite character was always Storm Shadow...and Im not a fan of the look of him in this movie...but at least hes not played by David Hassellhoff lol
Whos YOUR favorite character? now picture them in the movie COMPLETELY changed except for their name. Ripcord, whatever - I don't have a problem there. I had bigger issues when I once saw Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Goose. Since he wants to be a pilot, I would have prefered they used a pilot codename like Ace but no big deal really. Actually, the only thing that has me . . . cautious is the director. Don't care for Sommers. But I disliked Bay prior the the TF movies & I enjoy those so far.

could be wrong but, Isnt Desto Scottish? and played by a Scot? I wouldnt say MASSIVELY changed...(although on the back of the ROC package it says his face is burned and the nanomites heal it and make his face metal?)
believe me, the Wayans thing isnt the only thing i think they messed up with in this movie...theres ALOT.i never said I wouldnt see it, as I have higher hopes for this then Transformers (which I wanted to like but just couldnt)... it seems that NONE of the actors researched thieir characters at all (at the directors request i think I read) and to me that doesnt make sense...example the Crow movie..I loved the comic...movie was alot different(loved it too though) ..Brandon Lee extensively researched the role and brought ALOT from the comic, that was originally cut down, back into the film...reading the source material made him CARE about the role, not just the paycheck... As for all the changes...This movie got made because fans of GIJOE kept it popular for years;why change it all around and make it look different?
