You know - giving Cobra Destro-like character for a leader is going the easy way. I think it'll be much easier to find an actor with scottish accent, dress him up in mask and here we go! And making a GOOD, maniacal CC or perfectly buid Serpentor is a challenge no one dares to take. Dunno why though. And - well - I think that we should team up, kick some @$$es and make the perfect G.I.Joe movie together TF proved, that no scenario or plot is needed at all __________________ My weekly TOP5: The sacrifice of innocence the hailing of the gun My way was death and madness, now let the Tower come Last edited by General Scarlett : 08-25-2007 at 06:37 AM.

Stormer Wasss once a man Offline --> Posts: 1,430 --> Join Date: Nov 2006	I think I share your feelings about TF, Ion...! Personally, having grown up with it, I don't mind the idea of an International Heroes team. I can understand why they'd want to do this -- they have to think of international markets when making blockbuster movies and the subject of American military action is quite touchy these days. An "Americans to the rescue because we know what's best" attitude is what they're worried about putting across in other countries. There's similar things going on regarding the upcoming Captain America movie because that by nature needs to be patriotic but can't have an attitude of American superiority. And after Team America: World Police, it'd be hard to do a film like that and get away with it...! The only problem is the name; even if they use that stupid acronym, it doesn't make sense to use the generic soldier term because it's 100% American. Nobody else calls their soldiers GIs so the whole "average soldier guy" thing is lost. When I was a kid collecting Action Force, I occasionally saw US things and had NO clue what GI Joe meant. I actually thought it was one word, Gijoe (I would have pronounced it "gidge-oh") and it was a few years before I found out what it really said, and even longer before I understood it. So if you have to do a GI Joe movie and not an Action Force one, just base them in America and let them have international members... __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

Ion Veteran Offline --> Posts: 233 --> Join Date: Aug 2005	Share your thoughts Stormer Basically - I don't mint Joes being international team. But for God's sake... If they FORCE some well known characters to change their personality that'll be a disaster... I just wonder - there's so much inique characters in Joe toyline, that assembling an original all-around the world team should not be a problem. Oh yes... I forgot - this requires GOOD WILL and some KNOWLEDGE. And personally - I'd be glad to see in film for example Big Ben or TF Blizzard (as far as I can remember TF one got Swiss or Austrian personality) or other guys. You know - seeing AGAIN Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow could be boooooring - especially, that Hasbro overuses those characters. Just don't make Stalker a Republic of South Africa nationality as this would be ridiculous! But fully within the wide Hollywood imagination... And still - Cobra forces give quite an oportunity... I mean - they probably AGAIN use B.A.T.'s... And then - we'll have a huuuuge fighting scene, with buildings being blown up, cars flying, bats dying and all. Whoops, sorry for spoiling __________________ My weekly TOP5: The sacrifice of innocence the hailing of the gun My way was death and madness, now let the Tower come

*G.I.Jock** Pavel Srnicek Offline --> Posts: 1,038 --> Join Date: Aug 2005	Jeeeeez.... It seems the Joe's are becomming Action Force... Not cool. Not at all. Even though I grew up with and adore AF... this just doesn't seem like a cool move at all... G.I. Joe is the real American hero... For heavens sake Hasbro, keep it that way...

I read about this on the JBL and while I'm all for an international military team... I mean, I forget that GI Joe is very US-centric, but... Uh... Man... I think the mistake Hasbro made way back when WAS making GI Joe "A Real American Hero". I like the idea of a global force and they can call it GI Joe... But that would have had to be back in the 60s when it was first introduced. Not decades later when it's pretty much written in stone of what GI Joe is. I think it can work but man... It could end up a military-like movie called GI Joe, just like Star Wars. shrug
