Don't care too much about the rest of the cast (Dennis Quaid has apparently agreed to play General Hawk), but the casting of Snake Eyes is awesome!

I personally don't know much about Ray Park, but I just can't see anything with Marlon Wayans in it being anything better than a one-time watch on HBO or something...

I can't say that's one childhood show that carries over into adulthood well.

Which comes first: the Voltron or Robotech live flick?... :grouphug:

Is that the one where Duke dies, but doesn't really die?

He goes into a "coma" instead?

Oh sure... they killed off Optimus Prime in the TF movie, but they wouldn't kill of Duke... I guess it's less traumatizing for a kid to see their favorite robot hero die and turn gray then it is to have their GI Joe die...

Looking at the cast, I think I'd rather see "Robot Chicken Presents: G.I. Joe The Movie".

Just the fact that they're taking the "All American Hero" and turning it into the "All UN Hero" makes me come to that conclusion...

It's really going to screw with the theme song... :jester:

Actually, I think that's the reason Duke wasn't "killed".

Parents went apesh!t when Optimus Prime was killed and the tramatic effect it had on their children.

Heck, I'm still traumatized by it... wake up in the middle of the night crying and stuff... torments me to this day... :)

I own the 20th anniversary DVD of the movie and in the special features they talk about that, basically: they were looking to phase out the old product line and bring in new toys... they did not expect a whole bunch of five and six year olds to be devastated with their mothers up in arms...

THAT and I think they regretted it since it basically killed the cartoon series.......

Heavy Duty? Heavy freakin' Duty?

Nobody likes him. He's a poor imitation of Roadblock. We all love Roadblock (he's a chef, he's a machine gunner. It's cool).

Stop shoving Heavy Duty down our throats, Hasbro!

Sighs.

That said, Ray Park is kickass. If they were smart, they'd stick to the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow stuff.
