I'm curious if he's going to have that thug dialect in this movie. "Yo Baroness, holla' at your boy"

FYI, this is from General Joe's site (who got it from HT, but I'm giving Justin all the credit). Circled is supposedly a Cobra symbol. I have to say, that is a kick-ass "boat"...

I'm sure they'll get some mileage out of that Sting Raider. Hopefully not make it look like something that was painted in downtown San Fran.

At least up here they are just flat out stupid where as down there they are playing MLB with each others taints. :eek: People can only count by 180's up here. Once someone did a 270 degree trick they had to get out their calculators.

Definitely looks like it. I like the ERAesque look this thing has got.


As for those three knuckleheads that made up Cobra in RoC, I think Baroness might have been recast, but it's looking like maybe RoC canon is largely out.

And let's be honest, the only thing good about RoC's story was Zartan's infiltration of the Presidency.

Well, if it gets more like "real" (OG) GI Joe, that's an improvement at least. I also like the use of the SCAR (man I'd love to own a SCAR-H), though I wish Rockblock had something a little more potent than a SAW, a 240 at least. FN is definitely getting their weapons in there. But yeah, so far it looks a little better (though they definitely still dress alike - true to real military, not so good for unique action figures).

Trailers can be very misleading imo. They aren't going to show nanomites or whatever in the trailer. They are going to lure you in with "The Rock" and that cool looking boat, and then comes the sci-fi/ninja bs. And there will be plenty of ninja bs and it won't get resolved in this movie either. Imo Hollywood can't make a Joe movie.

It's the military, not casual Friday.

No, it's not military... It's... GI Joe!!! (i.e. Gung Ho, Blowtorch, Barbeque, Lifeline, Airtight) Thus, it should resemble the Village People, not the 75th Ranger Regiment... :D

(I'm just speaking from the wanting to get some variety from the figs this time perspective anyway)

There was variety last time, it's just they screwed it up and made the camo baby blue.

Contrary to what some might think Joes should look like a military unit, not like a toy collector or paintballer that bought some non-matching crap at a dingy Army surplus store and paired it with a keffiyeh, a pair of ratty Mechanix gloves and/or whatever sports team jersey they had lying around that would fit over their Cheetoh gut.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Scarlett. I haven't seen a pic I believe is LJ.

If anything the Tiger is an MRAP in the vein of the Cougar or BAE Caiman.

Didn't think Scarlett was in this one. That is Adrienne Palicki, no? It jives with pictures we've seen of her before.

Edit: pretty sure that's her:

Yeah, I didn't think Humvees were that tall.

I dunno. Looks like fair skin and long red ponytail to me. It'd be weird if LJ was cast to have Scarlett's look...

"Look" seems to be a flexible thing for them. After all, they cast Ripcord to look like Stalker, Baroness as a blonde and Breaker to look like... I dunno, someone else entirely. :D

True dat. I guess my point was that Scarlett looked pretty much eactly like that (but with g[r]ay camo) at times in the first movie.

Meh. I've already resigned myself to the fact I'm not going to like the movie. But also resigned to the fact I'll see it soon after opening (with my two flasks ;) ). The only questions I have are: (1) will it be better than Joe 1 (easy win), and (2) how much better (fingers crossed but not making any bets).

this was my number one beef with the first film..."gangsta" Duke was just horrible...the whole movie it was like he wanted to wrap a rope arond his neck and jump from a rafter...emo pussy

yer right about that...not as long as kids are the target demo...but yeah, watch for that misleading trailer...supposedly this film is to be VERY ninja heavy...lets see if they play that down in the trailers

Well I won't be giving them my money this time. And ppl are gonna say "but the Rock is in it!" "No this time there were no Koopa Vipers or nanomites" it doesn't matter, its too late.

I've probably already said this but the typical formula for movies is that sequels will almost always be inferior to the original or first movie. That being said, GI Joe The Rise of Cobra was only a dumb, mediocre film at best. Therefore, there is little hope that the second move will be any good no matter how it's marketed.

Seriously, just pretend the Islamic terrorists are Cobra and The Delta Force is about as close to a good Joe movie as we are likely to get.

Either that or pretend The Expendables movies are actually Joe ones.

Lose the sci fi, ninja mysticism, and the PG 13 and there would be a small chance it could work.
