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
