How about all the other scenes in the trailers that are like what's in the script? Works both ways.

Here is a link to the 1991 version of Heavy Duty.
YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Heavy Duty File card states Chicago, Illinois birthplace. I like the actor they chose to play Heavy Duty, he was Mr. Echo on Lost (one of the best characters) and he was in the mummy 2. Changing their backgrounds is just wrong. Snake eyes along with Storm Shadow with Stalker were all in Vietnam together, that's where they bounded. |

We've been down this road many times before, but I would like to point out that it's not unheard of for GI Joe to loose the "Real American Hero" tag line and other american aspects. Since the 80's we've seen:
Action Force - where you had charcters like Mutt now being born in Germany Dic Cartoon - the intro was changed to "International Heroes" Funskool GI Joe - The tag line was also changed to "International Heroes" Canadian Flags on GI Joe vehicles This has happened before and to be honest, even some characters from the "Real American Hero" team were from foreign countries. Even many of those that were born in America were definately of a different culture. So a team of the best from all over the world representing GI Joe sounds perfectly fine to me. If I never read the birthplaces on the filecards from the toys, I would have thought this was what GI Joe was already. |

that's a big change to the character, yet nobody seems to have revolted from that?[/quote] a) It wasn't that big of a change in terms of the essence of the character. That remained intact. And was still faithful to the source material. b) It was well done by talented artists who made you believe in the change. And here is the kicker, it made sense. Therefore it caught on and was a success among new fans and old fans alike. This dramatic change to the very essence of the GI Joe verse has obviously pissed off and alienated parts of the fanbase.

How can you honestly say Snake Eyes is a French National (if that's in ROC)? So. if they take the mask off in stead of Ray Parks we will find Van Dam ;)

Let's do it up now ... Batman should be a puerto rican, Superman should be korean, Wolverine should be egyptian, etc I mean, it's "advancing the mythology" ... you know, by completely changing the foundation of what makes these characters who they are, instead of taking what exists and pushing the boundaries with great storytelling, characterization, drama, etc. |
