I originally posted this on The Tank, but I decided to post it hear to get an opposing opinion. Personally, I think The Tankers do to much "stanning," for Hasbro and you guys have a more realisitic prespective of things.

Question, why are there so many problems with making a movie about a special operations team that stops a terrorist group from tearing shit up?
Seriously, all you need to do is come up with a plot that would work for any military action flick. Make the leader of U.S. Special Ops team Hawk. Have his field commander named Duke or Stalker. Have a ninja dude named Snake Eyes in it. If you must have a love triangle with Duke, S.E. and Scarlett. Call this unit G.I. JOE. Fill out the rest of the roster with some of the hundreds of JOEs that are available.
For the Enemy have a mysterious dude with an axe to grind and wears a mask and or battle helmet. The mysterious dude gets his weapons from another mysterious dude of Scottish origins. The head of the mysterious dude intelligence is a femme fatale of maybe European aristocracy. Throw in a sabotuer that's extraordinarily nice with explosives, a mercenary from Australia, maybe a set of twins who supplies the mysterious dude with money for plans at world demonination and the Twins have the best of terrorist group stategically placed in military, banking, and governmental institutions around the world. Call this enemy COBRA.
Hasbro and Paramount seem to be creating a bunch of needless problems for themsleves for a movie that should be relatively easy to make.
