I never liked the cartoons as muchs as liked the comics, they were far more realistic; anyway the movie is not based on those, who ever wrote the movie had no idea of the potential of the original characters and decided to remake them, they even were going to give us a TALKING Snake Eyes but Larry Hama rejected the idea (that's why snake eyes has mouth in his mask, the script changed but the costume remained) how stupid is that??!?!?!.
So far the movie is destroying the whole joe universe be it comic or cartoon version.
so the other night i was at work and decided to further my 80's cartoon knowledge, episode called "cold slither ", i watched the whole thing and after it was done i thought to myself," how could they possibly have made a movie based on any of this crap",
The desire isn't that they make a movie based on the worst episodes of the cartoon but rather the best elements of the character designs and origins. And that obviously just wasn't done.
Chris Nolan didn't try and make a $150 million movie about Batman and Robin spraying aerosol cans at sharks hanging off of their batcopter, instead he recognized that the foundation of the Batman characters and setting could make for incredibly intense and exciting storytelling that both lifelong fans AND casual moviegoers could appreciate.
so its changed, just like batman, but the movie isn't out yet so how do we know?
and thats my point, they couldn't based on the cartoons, so its changed, just like batman, but the movie isn't out yet so how do we know?
But you're ignoring the factor that this license also had a decades-deep, and more often than not, realistic comic series they could've used as inspiration and source material. What they've done here is pretty much make a Superman movie, removed all of the red, yellow and blue from his outfit, taken away his Kryptonite weakness and made him a nina turtle while still calling it Superman.

Well here are some things we have seen and sound like a bad joke:
Storm Shadow wears a leather costume and snickers
Snake Eyes looks like an alien or mutant I don't know yet if he is wearing a mask with a mouth or if his whole body is flat tire black.
Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes are now supossed to be friends since their childhood.
Rip Cord and Scarlett are a sentimental couple (sorry Snakey)
The Cobra Commander costume.
The Pit! (r u fkn kidding??)
GI Joe not being a "real american hero" but an international "something" force
The joes costumes, they all look the same to me, a mix between X-Men and Iron Man.
That's all I remember at the moment.

They were friends in the comic book.
yes, but not since their childhood, they met at Vietnam, or at an unnamed armed conflict in southern asia, depending on that comic are we talking about.
I didn't treat that part of the comic as true in my own, personal "Joe-verse." Storm Shadow is an evil ninja assassin. He isn't friends with Snake, never was, and he certainly wasn't a Joe in Cobra disguise all along. That idea makes him much less of a bad-ass, in my opinion.Yes, but if memory serves, they were never enemies and Stormshadow was always good, only joining Cobra to avenge his father's death at the hands of Zartan.

THATS UNCLE!
