The '80s stuff was a reinvent of the line to use the changes to boy oriented dolls (yes that is what they were called untill the late 70s/early 80s) to piggy back the popularity of Star wars toy (who if they weren't the first in that size range they were close and the first stupidedly popular one)

While true there is one flaw with what they're planning. The target audience (consisting mainly of the two most recent generations) grew up with GI JOE battling Cobra. That's what audiences will expect. GI JOE was reinvented into what many have come to know and accept as today.

Bluebullet, one of these things is not like the other. It's simple Cookie Monster logic. If numerous people are complaining about your attitude, then it's probably you who are the problem.
Hold on. Because I'm not like everyone else, I don't belong here? My attitude is fine UNTIL someone insults me. Honestly. I can make one lousy comment and I get a personal attack within 5 minutes. My first posts in every topic are on the topic's subject until someone decides to start a fight. Go back a page. This whole arguement started with a personal attack. The sarcastic remark of "How old are you?" began this crap. If people didn't feel the need to be jerks we would still be talking about GI Joe.

I agree, if a crapload of people complain about one persons attitude. Theres something wrong.
In this case, you may want to....reevaluate yourself.

In another post you basically stated that "the division among fans over the movie has cause your mental and physical health to deteriorate." Now if that is the case then why do you subject yourself to this, day in and day out? You know what the general opinion about your attitude is and what needs to done to change it. Ive been a member of this site for like 2 weeks now and I've already grown disenchanted with your outlook and attitude, I can imagine what it is like for the other things you have posted about in your short term. I think its time you took a step back and reevaluated some priorities and come back with a fresh outlook.
I'm not trying to start anything here or dog you or instigate, I'm just trying o let you know that some tf movie isnt the end all of the tf fandom and that you should think about taking care of yourself above all.

I don't see what the big problem is. And last time I checked a ninja really isn't that hard to implement either.
I call bullshit.
Supreme Convoy wrote:Though in my opinion... not having Cobra as a main villain could work (hell, I'm shocked to even say that!). Check out the first arcs of GI Joe: America's Elite where the team dealt with a terrorist cell not entirely associated with Cobra. Of course it was a giant prelude to Cobra Commander's return to comics but this story worked.
I think they don't want Cobra Commander because he's stereotyped as a terrorist with cartoony plans like putting cruise missiles in fast food signs (Red Rockets!). Of course that wouldn't work for a movie! But that doesn't stop the filmmakers from putting him in realistic situations like in GI Joe: Reloaded.

I loved him in Reloaded (more than usual, even!). He's a salesman, all right - you can see him appealing to his wildly dissimlar crew differently, winning their alliance (and in some unfortunate cases, even their trust). It'd be amazing to see that guy on the big screen.Loki120 wrote:This guy shot his own son, kicked Serpentor's ass, and has more webs of deceit than Beast War Megatron could ever hope to keep up with (And he kicks puppies!

Indeed, he kicked Serpentor's ass in one panel. After fighting his way to him. After being tortured.
But then, in the cartoon, he ran through a laser volley to plant a bomb on top of the Statue of Liberty, then jumped off the darned thing, so it's not like he never did anything cool there.

The Cobra Commander from reloaded was awesome. I wish I had my issues here in Fort Wayne with me, but I remember his talk with Storm Shadow as they were watching Destro's men build a base, the talk was about how he became Cobra Commander, you actually felt for the guy, sure he was loony as hell, but damned if he didn't have a good reason for doing what he did. I wish Reloaded was kept going, that series kicked so much ass, and on a side note, Beachhead friggin rules.
Anyway, they could easily do a realisitc Cobra Commander for the movie, not one who tries to carve his face into the moon, or builds a machine to burn all the worlds money and other silly James Bond-esque traits like that, they could really make Cobra Commander something to not laugh at, and at the same time throw in bits and pieces of his "I'm whacked off my ass" lunacy when it's called for.
I just hope they change their minds about this whole buddy-cop premise for the movie.

I never picked up reloaded so I don't know CC's origin from there. But in the regular comics he was once a used car salesman who felt that the government was out to get the little guys like him. He became excessively paranoid and ran out on his wife and took his son with him. He built up Cobra from the small town of Springfield and recruited those who felt like him, and built an empire through illegal pyramid schemes. Cool stuff.
They expanded his history more with the Snake-Eyes Declassified limited. I highly recommend it, it stays exactly with the original material and builds on it. It also explains why Cobra Commander hates Snake-Eyes in more detail.
Bluebullet, you may want to be careful on how you post here, some Members might remember, when another Member started some crap over on another Site and brought it over here. The post I put in return, put the MODS/ADMINS in fits and I almost got banned from this Site, since then, I have been very careful of what I post on here. Just some helpful advise for you!The Mad Asshatter wrote:Bluebullet wrote:The Mad Asshatter wrote:Bluebullet wrote:Loki120 wrote:Well that's crap. I think most people are aware of who and what G.I.Joe is. And Cobra would work well on screen if done right, these writers have absolutely no imagination and just want to capitalize on the name. Which still doesn't make sense because if no one outside the US wouldn't recognize G.I.Joe as we know it, why release it under the name of G.I.Joe at all?
That sounds SO familiar.
I say that if no one can give the 80's cartoons the proper treatment they deserve, they should be left alone until it can be.
What's next? Care Bears with real bears? "I love you so much, I could just eat you up. ROAR!*child screams*"
How old are you?
Look around the board. I'm tired of saying that I'm smarter than most people my age(People at my old school did drugs and had sex after school, which I never did).
You aren't smart, kid.
