Sweet lens flare
?

Chairwalker

That's Darth Maul, right?
He's good with sticks.

Strayth

no silly darth maul wears more robes and stuff and he has spikes on his head

and he died

Monkeyfeet

After looking at the cosplay thread I thought "how would this look on an ugly fat chick?"

Vorus

all costumes should be made with that in mind

Strayth

Oh no i get it, ray park. yes i think that was darth maul.

i'm sorry i called you silly.

Defenestrator

It looks like Snake Eyes. Big deal

Sure, he looks cool but I already knew that Snake Eyes was cool-looking.

Blankspace

Man

I mean

he looks just like Snake Eyes

but it's not as good looking in Live Action I guess

really fake looking

The Nothing

I would've been excited if this happened twenty years ago.

potatoe

i don't even know who that is

because i don't play with dolls

Centipede Damascus

Snake Eyes is the most awesome

1. He is a ninja

2. He is also a secret agent

3. He gets to bag a hot redhead

BYToady

He'll probably be the most talkative character in the entire movie.

Redeemer

The movie should just be live action vignettes of those G.I. Joe PSA paraodies

It'd be like 15 minutes long, but so worth it

Wrench N Rockets

I was bored.

Harrier

Man, I am skeptical as all hell about the G.I. Joe movie.

I know it's coming to the big screen in the same spirit as Transformers, and all, but I can't help but feel the producers are missing a rather fundamental difference between Transformers and G.I. Joe... or for that matter, Transformers and most other 'cool' franchises from the 1980's.

Transformers is a franchise featuring gigantic robots that turn into vehicles and fight each other. If you blow this up 100 times on a movie theater screen, it looks awesome.

G.I. Joe is a franchise featuring dubiously attributed American soldiers fighting a dubiously attributed terrorist organization with outlandish weapons because kids' cartoons can't feature real guns. If you blow this up 100 times on a movie theater screen, it looks silly.

This is going to be the Street Fighter movie all over again. Only without Raul Julia.

Mr Pink

Pork chop sandwiches!

Blankspace

Like I said

it looks like a really good cosplayer or something

not movie quality

Redeemer

Actually it should just be the pink vinyl purse one

Raneados

looks like that suit was made with 5 dollars and access to 12 thrift stores

seriously

terrible

Harrier

I mean, look at some of these fucking names, just from the article Centipede linked: Snake-Eyes, Rock n' Roll, Grunt, Destro? You can get away with Transformers having names like this, because you can cover them by explaining that those are just the best approximation of their names as translated from Cybertronian to English.

That doesn't work for G.I. Joe. People do not have these kinds of nicknames in the real army.

Defenestrator

They could dress him in a trash bag with duct tape over his mouth and people would go see it because they remember being kids and taking Gung-Ho under the covers after their parents went to sleep and using his articulating joints to jerk off their older brother while he hummed the theme song and whispered "knowing is half the battle."

Harrier

Oh fuck, there's one named Gung-Ho? Christ on a stick.

Centipede Damascus

The best part of the GI Joe toys was the vehicles.

Defenestrator

I remember, not too long ago, Adult Swim started re-airing episodes. I caught one and immediately realized that I was completely retarded as a child. It was also more than a little bit racist.

Campion

I think the suit looks pretty good, a lot better than a cosplayer would do. They'd probably just get a wet suit and call it a day. This thing has the proper texture and everything.

Stop spying on me.

Harrier

So let me reiterate:

Life-sized Optimus Prime=Cool

Life-sized Snake-Eyes=Lame

I will pay to see this movie. The toys were fun and I like violence.

I'm still holding out hope they'll turn it into an r-rated gore fest with heads and body parts flying everywhere when they're hit by heavy artillery fire.

I'm sure it won't happen, but I can hope damn it.

If that happened we'd also probably get to see Baroness' tits.

Bloods End

Well the Transformers movie sucked so maybe this will be better. Probably not though.

Transformers was a fun, silly action movie that's humor was 50/50 between awful and amusing.

Looks like there's another image floating around:

See, I think they should fuck all that 80's bullshit and go with the 70's style GI Joe Action Adventure Team thing.

I want to see them recreate that big fucking yellow bus in life-size, and I want to see the fucking radar dish break and fall off just like it did in real life.

That and I want four bearded guys who look the same except one has a scar, one is blond and one is black. With a scar.

That's fucking GI Joe. Not that "We were trained by Cylons" crew.

I'm not feeling it. GI Joe was my life from ages 5 to... 11 or so. I was born in 84. The comic was pretty good. About a thousand times better than the show, for about the first... 80-ish issues. I actually started collecting the comic when I was about... 8? Maybe? It was when it was all neon ninja madness. The earlier issues of the comic were the best, before the toy tie in stuff just got ridiculous and everyone was trying to draw like those crazy guys at Image.

Yeah, anyway. Not really feeling it. When I got back into comics 5 years ago, I saw that there was a GI Joe comic. Someone may have bought it for me as a gift. It was pretty bad. The guys at Devil's Due are a bunch of assholes anyway.

I'm surprsingly disinterested.
