Only qualm I have with their code names is that they are calling Stalker for Ripcord (well Wayans looks more like Stalker then Ripcord if you ask me).

The story so far isn't that bad actually, its quite intelligent, if not completely correct to the source material - but even the source material is contradicting. From the Cartoons to the comics, there is always something that doesn't quite mesh, as well as the action figures and their filecards.

Just think of it as "their" joeverse, its definitely not the Cartoon, its not the comics, nor is it the action figures, but a new way of telling the story. I think I'm beginning to understand in my "older" days that directors don't want to recreated something that has been done before, but rather make something new and possibly unique.
Though we as die hard fans (because lets face it, that is what we are) won't always like the choices made by the directors and actors, because they could have done something different and closer to the source material.
What I am trying to say is, take it for what it is, not what it could be in your eyes. Because I'm willing to bet that there would be as many different versions as there are people on this forum

Wow I actually think that made sense

I for one am anticipating some cool ninjostic (tm fifthconspiracy) fights from Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Very much like transformers - if there is one moment in there that gives me a nostalgic feeling and glee from my childhood, then it will be worth it. (To me in Transformers it was when Optimus Prime said "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings".

I know its easy to be negative about this, but how about discussing for once what we will enjoy if it reaches the silver screen? What we hope /wish to see?
