More G.I. Joe Rubbery Goodness

Any movie put out after X3 is going to be decent.  Comic Movie makers learned for that major eff up.

That wouldn't be right either though. GI Joe was made up of Army, Navy, Air-force, Marines, and more. They all had different uniforms because they were from different branches of service (and even within the same branches they almost all had different specialties that caused them to have dissimilar uniforms.) I say mix it up completely, I wanna see a broad spectrum of service women and men."

Man Id love to see G.I. Joe develope into a franchise...eventually Kamakura could come in

It's the opposite affect here.  He refuses to wear something other than black.

"They all look very boring. I can understand the need for realism & all but for gods sake put them in camo please!!"

Here's an early scene that I think got cut out.  The whole team is in this picture but they are dressed in camo.  You can see a few if you look hard enough.

OMG I totally see Snake Eyes!!  ;-p"

And he calls himself a ninja?"

"I know that fans have every right to complain and whatnot (since it was the fans who essentially made the franchise what it is), but, you've got to keep in mind, it's a adaptation. It's not meant to be entirely accurate unless the director wants it to be so. This isn't fully directed towards costume comments but the whole movie as one thing. As long as the story stays rooted somewhat in the core of the original source material, I think that they can make some aesthetic changes.

I'm not a G.I. Joe fan (haven't read many of the comics), so take that as you want."

"so you want them to be shooting lazer guns too then?"

I am just saying there a few very simple things they could do
1st they all dont wear black only snake eyes
2nd Dukes hair is blond and no gotee
3rd the reason the joes wear all different clothes is explained several times in the books so why not tell that story as well its easy and takes less than 1 min
4th Hawk should not wear flints hat
5th Hows ripcord even there he doesnt even matter.....wheres stalker? gung Ho? or a long list of other joes that would be better served in this film

I bet 10 bucks Cobra will wear black too and not blue SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

some things can't be well translated to the big screen, they ain't doing this only for the ones that have watched the show/read the comic

it's for the entire audience"

As far as the costumes go I don't know why they couldnt stay close to the way they are in the Devils Due comics...they wouldnt look silly if they pu t a lot of care into it.

As far as the roster it should have been Stalker, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Flint.....maybe Gung Ho, Lady Jaye, Heavy Duty, or Shipwreck. Well yea and Hawk.

Gung Ho might have needed a little tiny change, but Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Flint, Hawk, and Heavy Duty could have all been done well and look the way they should.You can keep the look of the clothing the same as long as it looks realistic like it has a purpose. Example Christian Bales Batman as opposed to George Clooney Batman.

"Larry Hama's contribution to the movie was slim.  He fought for one thing in this movie to be changed because he knew it would royally piss off fans, that was it.

Fans have a right to bitch and complain about things they don't like in a movie, these black suits are NOT G.I.Joe they are completely rediculous.  We are the ones who, like its already been said, go see this movie, we are the ones who will go and see if over and over again if done right.  Hollywood and treat a comic book property with respect, just look at Iron Man. 

This is more of a Sigma 6 movie then a G.I.Joe ARAH movie like it was supposed to be.

I'm all one for updating things to fit them into today's times but this is so far from what it should be. "

As it is now the only unique looking Joe is Snake Eyes. They should've retained some amount of uniqueness to each character's uniforms, its not a SEAL team, the black leather look is just boring by now. As noted above Batman, Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, hell even Scooby Doo showed you can have characters in costumes that would look pretty silly if you saw them walking around the floor of comicon but given the right treatment look damn good. I say go all out in comic movies, you hold back and you wind up with metrosexual Dr. Doom and Blackheart or in this case, Cobra Commander.

They dont shoot lasers in the comics...just the cartoons because they were on saturday mornings.

I can see it form both sides. I am a huge G.I. joe fan and would have been a lot happier if some things would have been a little different, especially the ones already metioned in this thread. However I am happy that Larry hama consulted in the film and I still have hopes thta it will be a decent movie. I can seperate the film from the comics in my mind if there are a few problems translating it to the big screen....all I pray is that it is a good film.

Yeah well how did spiderman RED AND BLUE work in a live action movie???????????????????????????????????
how did a red and gold iron suit work in fighting in the middle east???????????????????????????????
How does a Huge GREEN monster saying SMASH work in a live action??????????????????????????
come on man there are ways to make it real and still say true to the Book or Toon"

Dan makes a good point, some things do not translate well to film."

Its not a good nor valid point at all Anything can be done even that image of Cobra Commander or wolverine in the yellow could work if given proper care. I would rather see that than the lazyness that all comic characters wear black cause its more "realistic""

so then a live action spongebob movie would work?"

"Cobra should look like this but I think I heard he won't have the mask.  Not sure what he'll look like.  I also heard a crazy scary rumor that I'd rather not repeat.

The guy they got playing Cobra Commander looks like a Punk though... wasnt that the kid from 3rd Rock From The Sun ?"

I'm waiting to see Hugh Jackman wearing yellow and blue spandex.  All that yellow is pretty badass.

"I don't think Gung Ho would've worked without looking like he should be in the village people

"

The only thing that is reassuring me is I'm pretty sure Larry Hama was a consultant on the movie.  Let's hope they listened to him.

I don't think Gung Ho would've worked without looking like he should be in the village people

so you want them to be shooting lazer guns too then?

just for once i would like a movie to come out where people don't continually complain that it isn't exactly like the cartoon or comic....why can't you just try to enjoy a movie instead of nitpicking every minor detail....who cares if they're all vvearing black (it looks cool) or who's wearing who's hat
