Wtf??

Shitty.

Except for some code-names, this movie doesn't seem to have anything to do with GI Joe.

Is the "nano-syringe" for the eroin!?

Horrible in all aspects. Now CC is another villain with his face deformed. Worstthing in the film :mad: .

I had high hopes for this movie, this thing is going to be a big pile of steaming horse shit!

We shouldn't have ANY hopes for this movie other than shelling out $10 or whatever. Go in with no expectations and it might be ok.

But this CC, c'mon... Would it be that hard to go iconic and give him his battlemask? I love that faceless, mirror look. Something utterly scary and eerie about it. This toy mask, it looks more like... he has a skin disease or something. Or he stepped out of Pirates of the Carribean.

I am suprised that they went in this direction, I thought that the mirror faceplate was a shoe in for the film as it is a realistic and original way of hiding your identetity.

Why couldn't they just go for the classic helmet, why mess with what works, frakin Stephen Sommers.

That looks bad

But then again everything in the G.I. Joe movie looks bad, well except for Black Ripcord.

Yep, straight-to-DVD stinker for sure!

I think it's going to be a good movie. I think there is a good bit of thought into the film as far as future tech

Cobra Commander? Looks more like a villian from Dr. Who.

your absolutely right. everything except for black ripcord!

My thought exactly :confused: :mad: :rolleyes: .

I think it'll be a good action-tech movie, just look at it as another crappy GI Joe spin off. I mean look at VvV... it was practically crap, the only good thing about it was some cool figures.

He looks hmm.... ok I guess

They are creating something new using the name G.I. Joe, this figure doesn't seems like a CC but another character. The movie can be a good movie but very far from the G.I. Joe that we already know .

Gatilho

Much like G.I.Joe Extreme or Sigma Six?
Its a new verse people, some of the stuff they will keep most will go away and be turned into something new. For better or worse, well for us "old" farts it will be for worse since its not the Sunbow Cartoon nor Marvel Comics we grew up with, for the next generation it will be their G.I.Joe (and they probably look at the sunbow cartoons and the marvel comics with puzzled nausea because of all the campyness there). I figure each generation has their mind on how it "should be" or should not be.
Take it for what it's bound to be, a popcorn flick - if we get some custom fodder for our figures along the way even better.

Sigma Six still fell under GI Joe. It was a theme like Spy Troops, JvC, etc.

The movie, like all movies based off a toy/comic, IS another entity. What we have to really wonder is, how will the movie effect GI Joe as we know it? (I'm thinking of what the X-Men movies did to the comic and whatnot...)

Well, seeing as I no longer read the comics or buy new figures, it doesn't really bother me in the least. If the movie toys flourish they'll do so without my money, and if they bomb and collect dust on the shelves, I couldn't care less.

Well, for reference, the x-men movies had an effect on the comics in that Rogue somehow became younger and a lot of the visuals catered to the movie. I don't know if the X-men are back as they should be (pre-movie) but... I'm just saying, if the movie makes Ripcord, we might see Ripcord always as a black guy. Hawk always w/ a beret. etc

From Wikipedia;

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander. USA Today reported Cobra Commander is a multiple role.[5] Levitt wore a mask – which was redesigned from the comics because the crew found it too reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan – and prosthetic makeup underneath.



Uhm...ok, guys...but he's SUPPOSED to be the bad guy! Why don't we cut out the Vipers and the Iron Grenadiers because they remind us too much of Nazi Stormtroopers! And Let's cut out Zartan because he reminds us of Osama Bin Laden?

Ever notice no one bitched that Norsefire in "V for Vendetta" looked too much like Nazis? Or that the Tetra-Grammaton in "Equilbrium" did the same? That's the whole point! Dress these guys SIMILAR to villians of the past and we can "feel" distain and disgust towards them before they even speak a word!

Did anyone show Steven Sommers the pics of Cobra Commander in his helmet or Battle helmet?

Oh, FYI;

"[GI Joe] bears no resemblence to reality"

Oy vay!

Oh, my God.
 

...because the crew found it too reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan...

:mad: Jerks. :mad:

The lengths to which people now go to not "offend" anyone is ridiculous, it's political corectness gone mad. Soon we'll only be allowed to watch soppy Disney movies and pretend there's no bad things in the world!

He doesnt look like the Commander we all have known

Whilst I don't like the 25th figure, at least it looks like CC. The movie figure is just a freakazoid with no resemblance or relevance to anything "Joe" at all. Yuck!

The movie you noted wasn't intended to sell toys to kids, this one is.

Cobra Commander looks really similar to the Grand Wizard, that's not really something you want to be associated with when your trying to make your brand the most visible it'll be in a long time.

This isn't PC facism, this is going "well do we want our film and toyline to be scrutinized by civil rights groups, and be embraced by hate groups?" Anyone with a brain would say "No"

G.I. Joe isn't art, it's a way for Hasbro to make money. If that means making Cobra Commander look ridiculous, it won't make them lose any sleep.

is that red glob under the clear junk supposed to be his brain? or is he eating raw hamburger? Where's his bones? lol that figures head is pretty bad. the body looks alright. I like how the cape's lining is CC's baby blue anyway.

There's never been any doubt about that!

Good point. However, isn't that taking it a little too far in the scrutiny department? I mean it's like in the '80's when my friends and I were into heavy metal. None of us would have ever thought about playing records backwards to look for satanic messages, until a group of religious zealots did it on a talk show. Then we ALL went out and bought copies of "Stairway to Heaven" just to see if it was real. None of us were Satanists...or even closet satanists, and even if we were, heavy metal didn't do it to us! Honestly, I don't think 99% of the people out here wouldn't have thought about that if they had not said something! It's pretty pathetic that people go out of their way to look for links to racism, facism and nazism in minor details like that!

The two movies I mentioned Blatently drew attention to the "nazi" link by their shows of ceremony with banners of red and black and black high collared uniforms with the knee high riding type boots.

Know my fear? The pacifists trying to get the movie banned because it glorifies war.....just wait...it's coming!!!

What worries me is that with all this political correctness going on the young kids growing up are not going to learn to assosiate facist/ku-klux clan style of clothing with evil before they are teenagers and learn about them in school. The decision to make Cobra a regular criminal/mercenary organization is not only boring it benefits nobody but the facists themselves.

"Onccccccccccce wassssssss a man...sssssssssssssssss"

G.I. Joe is pretend. I like pretend. It is an escape from all the nuttiness in the real world. I prefer comics and cartoons to live action stuff that blurs the line between pretend and reality.

I'm not concerned that my children will grow up and try to glorify evil groups. I am responsible for what they see and how I explain to them reality versus pretend.
I am concerned that they think they can jump motorcycles over (or through) moving trains and buses because they saw it on TV or a movie.

Gravity is an equal opportunity offender, and it rarely offers "do-overs."

Worst case scenario, the movie tanks, the toys end up on clearance, and Hasbro shelves the franchise.

When is the Resolute cartoon coming out?

Hasbro announces G.I. Joe Resolute! April 17th on AdultSwim.com

Hit the link. New figures are on the way, including SHE - Dialtone.

They annouced it ONE day in advance?
