GI JOE 2: Retaliation Trailer up!

[firesprite]

I still think they should have kept Scarlet. She was an original character and is still used in the new incarnations of GI Joe in comics and cartoon. Maybe she will not be among the "dead" and will show up in future films....maybe I just want to see Rachel Nichols again.

The other characters, they "kill" off, were not really part of the original mythos, so no biggie.

I have so many issues with how they had Scarlet portrayed in the first movie: the whole 'if it isn't scientifically quantifiable it doesn't exist' crap was ridiculous. Don't even get me started on the 'romance' with Ripcord. Scarlet is Snake Eyes' girl, plain and simple. It really pissed me off that they had her cuddling Snake at one point, but didn't actually give them the relationship. :angry

I saw the first on DVD (didn't want to see it in the movie house) and it was okay,at best.

Now this,this looks good,Cobra looks like Cobra and not some Star Wars wannabe crap,Cobra Commander looks the part and overall I guess I'll go see this.

In the early comics, Breaker was a big player. He was one of the original '82 figs, as was Scarlet (who of course went on to be one of the core members). So yeah, it's a biggie. But you know what? They screwed up and they're trying to fix it, so kill who you need to, and kudos.

I wonder if the second movie will use more sound effects from Tron like the first one did.

What happened to Joseph Gordon Levitt and Christopher Eccleston?

Technically, by the end of the first film, Cobra Commander was so masked up and his voice altered it really didn't matter who played him. There's nothing about Levitt in this film according to IMDB. As for Destro, that's a head scratcher. Personally, I thought Eccleston was a terrible choice and he looked really goofy when his skin turned to metal. There should've been some kind of side-story origin, and Destro wearing a full-on metal mask of some sort, although I think he'd look too much like Dr. Doom.

I did really like the Cobra Viper designs in the first film, as well as the flying ship and their proprietary weapons.

I wish they would have kept them on, but if not, then at least recast. How can you have Cobra without Corba Commander? I dont see him listed on IMDB as a character.

Its like making a Transformers movie with Decepticons in it, but no Megatron.

I agree. I did not like how they portrayed her character. But they could have done a do over with her. And yes, they should have dealt more with the relationship with Snake Eyes or Duke (but they screwed that up with Duke having the relationship with Baroness). Oh well. Let's see what the new movie will give us.

Looks good to me! At least we have Cobra Commander in the right costume now. I didn't read the whole thread, but who is the yellow ninja with Snake Eyes?

 

[Paul Andrew]

I dunno... I want to be excited. That trailer looks like a bucket of awesome. But I REMEMBER the last movie.

Pretty certain based on the boobs that it's Jinx.

 

[Paul Andrew]

...Pretty certain based on the boobs...

This ought to be a meme somewhere... :lol

 

[Mr Fett]

The dual fans on the back totally remind me of the W.H.A.L.E.

With Snake-Eyes new sculpt looking more like "armor", in a Stormtrooper type sense, I think that's more "believable" then the Batman look of the first movie suit.

 

[Rusty85]

That looks like Cobra Commander standing on the boat.

 

[crabra comander]

Hey Rusty,

I saw on another post you had a prequel comic posted! Any chance you have anymore like that? It was pretty good!

 

[Jeyl]

Huh???

Yeah. During the submarine battle near the end, Cobra whoops out this huge underwater canon, and when it fires, the classic "de-rez" sound is played. I remember being in the theater and crying FOUL!

 

[Jack T Chance]

I loved the first film, and am extremely disappointed that there is no Scarlett, Destro or Baroness. I'd imagine that Duke is only assumed dead, and he'll show up to help out when the chips are down.

That said - this didn't look too bad. And it has inspired MY FIRST EVER MEME:

Totally stealing this! LMAO! :lol

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Okay I've only ever watched the old cartoons from the 80s and the toys. I thought Jinx had a red costume? Are they just redesigning it or does she wear a different outfit on the new shows?
