Although the movie isn't looking as dark or gritty as I secretly hoped it would. However, given that the cartoon show was never dark or gritty I shouldn't be surprised.

The cartoon show is hilarious now, while I think it holds up in that regard it is nowhere near as heroic or thrilling as it was when I was a kid. Sad

Anyway, I'm just worried about the script. And Cobra. Especially Cobra.

With how the costume designs are going, he might look something like this:

Be afraid . . . be very afraid . . .

It's a character from an anime called "Code Geass", i only saw a few episodes at con. When i saw him though, i thought of cobra commander:

If that was Cobra he looks like Ming The Merciless and Darth Vader had a bastard child together. Which actually is pretty 80s-tastically awesome. Cool

My beef with the costumes is that each Joe was unique and individual. These new costumes look like bland Matrix rejects. Im just afraid that sorta blend effect will happen to the characters themselves too.

Code Geass is awesome (a mecha anime that references the Chinese occupation of Japan but in the anime it's the Britannia Empire occupying Japan).

On topic: I agree that the presence of true uniforms (the same basic outfit) works, but it also detracts from the characters we've all grown up with.

good point, but im actually more worried they'll mess up the characters personalities from what we've all grown accustomed to.

Know what costume really sucks? Hancock's!

That seems to be the costume trend in Hollywood... Rolling Eyes

thats what i mean though. take away the weird crazy cartoon outfits and you take way from the characters themselves.

how can shipwreck be a sailor if he looks like hes from blade 2.

The Rock is indeed Shipwreck from all the info I have. Also, I do miss the individual uniforms, but they did that to sell toys, in an army there can be differences, but not a mish mash of whatever the hell they felt like wearing. I mean a great example is Bazooka. He has the army issue camo pants and boots, but then is wearing a bright red football jersey, come on, you could have picked him off at 2 miles. I do hope this goes well, I am a HUGE GI JOE fan, and would not want to be disappointed. Also, destro better damn well wear the mask, silver or gold, or I will be severly pissed.
