They have WRECKED GI Joe.
"G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer."
A Scottish Arms dealer???? No doubt they will be burning cars in the streets of Scotland over this. Cobra Commander is a Presbyterian? Slan Lat Meigha Breitha Destro? ARGH!!! There aren't even Cobras in Scotland... If Scotland had a terrorist organization, it would be named "bugger all, it's not a dress!" or "Chaos on a pisser." or the like.
I can forgive them for casting a gaijin as Snake-Eyes (who was not originally a Joe), cause he is such a cool gaijin and he never needs to talk or to be seen. But explain Stormshadow and Snake-eyes are twin brothers, so you better NEVER see the man beneath the mask, which means the whole origin of Snake-Eyes and how became a Joe will be absent from the plot.
scene from the movie? http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives ... panese.jpg
The Best role EVAR for Mr. Parks is Daniel Rand - "Iron Fist" in a Heroes for Hire movie. That could easily be the "Rush Hour" of marvel movies. He is awesome and would make that movie shine.

As for G.I. Joe, or G.I.J.O.E - that is a TOTAL betrayal of Mitchell Paige and the others who followed. Many of the GI Joe figure were real people. REAL AMERICAN HEROES**. I will not see this movie until G.I. Joe are U.S. Marine corps personnel, under the direction of Admiral Flagg by direction of the Dept of the Navy. One requirement for being a "Joe" was that a candidate was a recipient of the US Medal of Honor. How is an "international task force of coed politically correct operatives gone wild" going to receive the Medal of Honor?
**I have NO issue with a movie about a over-the-top Global Task Force, several great childrens series and toys were based on them.. like M.A.S.K. who were sponsored by the P.N.A. (Peaceful Nations Alliance - basically NATO). You can even make a Iranian M.A.S.K. pilot, and I got no issue. Prolly make a better movie, anyways.
Cobra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaaaa!
