the concept they were bandying about pissed off more than a lot of poeple. I know a lot of guys at devils due publishing were pissed about the treatment being about as far from GI Joe as possible. I know they are still trying to find a treatment for it that works. The producer is a fucknut idiot though so I doubt Hasbro wll allow any of the ieas he's come up with come to life.RentCavalier wrote:G.I. Joe! Real American HERO!
I'd dig a G.I. Joe movie, if they did it GOOD...I mean, you know, NOT having people ejecting from Helicopters and whatnot. War=death.
that's what they did with the recent comics and it made it quite an interesting read. they had the balls t do some prety hefty stuff.. they cut the team to Flint, Duke, Scarlett, Shipwreck, Stalker, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Roadblock. Flint is pretty much insane because Cobra Commander Killer Lady Jaye and you got a couple of interesting stories that started with them amost killing snake eyes and turning him into a bad guy. then storm shadow brought him back to the good side. really fun story with much ass kicking goodness. then led into the reveal that cobra commander had gotten himself put in as the secretary of defense. sent a kill team in to kill the joes. they of course get stopped and now world war 3 is starting. but for the last 25 issues they have done exactly that....turned it into a great espionage book rather than generic get cobra fight disarm arrest. they've killed a few characters I never expected em t kill, brught back some more that you thought were dead, and put Hawk in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. If tey are gonna do a movie they should do it in the current comic book continuity....which is what hasbro wants from it.RentCavalier wrote:I always thought it would be interesting to put G.I. Joe in the real world--back in the day, these Joe's were pretty much awesome and whatever, in a more...I dunno...clear-cut age of war.
Then, they'd be stuck in a more modern situation, and a more modern type of warfare, dealing with the threat of terrorism, dissension and general unpopularity. The Joes would each have to face their own inner demons as a result of going from cherished war heroes to...less than such.
At the same time, Cobra would be back in a more...sinister way, I guess...and take advantage of the Joes' period of self-doubt by capturing each one, one by one, and thus forming the basis for the second half of the movie, which would be an introspective examination of each character or the symbols of warfare each character represents, ideally through a sort of interrogation/torture-chamber esque scene.
It would be a real shocker, I imagine, to the general idea of G.I. Joe...and it has NO chance of ever being made.
he man is tough but you give it to the right person it could be great.....I know that one of my pals wrote a great battle of the planets series.

He Man? Please.
oh yes. keep a similar thematic tone. by all means. but there are so many great cartoons that could make cool or horible movies. especially from the late 80's early 90's....c'mon....captain planet, Pirates of Darkwater etc. I've tried to recently go back and watch a lot of them. and one of the only cartoons that really aged well was Gi-Joe which I can still watch those old cartons and be entertained with a decent story. He Man was actually pretty good too. but the best cartoon from when I was eager to watch em every morning......the last 2 seasons of ReBoot are nothing short of geniusRentCavalier wrote:Yeah, but He-Man doesn't need to be serious. Like the Transformers, it's really too silly--I wouldn't mind just a good ole beat-em-up adventure.
yeah...so was punisher. might as well remake and force the dissapearance of all dolph lundgren crappy acton movies now while we still canEric wrote:You guys don't remember the original He-man movie? It's been done lol.

c'mon Tom Cruise as Captain Planet.....By your powers combined I am captain planet. protecting the environment to help raise thetan levels around the globe.....he is captain planet HAIL XENU!RentCavalier wrote:Oh god, NO! I refuse to have Captain Planet be a movie. It's just...I dunno...that couldn't work...
That was practically the point of the cartoon anyway. Dunno, the cartoon just seemed too politically motivated at times.RentCavalier wrote:I suppose they could use it as a Global Warming platform...
Careful. You mix around souls and volcanoes people might think you're a Scientologist.RentCavalier wrote:That seal's soul floats through the air and ends up getting sealed (ha ha, pun) inside a volcano.
See, just put in a line that might be unbelievable, like Potter kills Dumbledore, or Dumbledore is Harry's father, or something like that.RentCavalier wrote:Also, Snape Kills Dumbledore.
