Title: Joe Canuck, the Movie (dio-story)
Post by: Agent_Loop on August 04, 2004, 10:40:40 PM
Hey guys,
Mike put me in charge of the Joe Meet group-dio.
We have two approaches to this group-dio.  
One: We could do one big group dio of Joe Canucks (in action) in a big scene, where we are able can take camera shots in different angles to post on this board. We can all help out in setting up the scenery and plotting the figures and vehicles.
or Two: We could do a dio-story consisting of a number of scenes/playsets.  Prior to this, we have to come up with a plot and ideas, then I will take it and draw up storyboards for the dio-story. People will be assigned different jobs such as being in charge of bringing certain vehicles/playsets/figures, setting up the backgrounds/figures for the next shots, lighting (?), beer dude, etc. One possible story we can do will be an adventure involving Joe Canuck, with JCanuck board members (represented in figure form) as the supporting cast. Once the pics have been taken, I will layout the dialogue (word balloons) and have it presented on Joe Canuck.

Let me know which approach you guys want to do and if you guys have any thoughts and suggestions, post them.

I'm leaning towards option 2. I think we have plenty of creative energy on this board. If we're going to coordinate something like this, it should be a big deal that we can all contribute to.

So which way are we leaning? An strictly military adventure? A dio-satire? Endless gay humour surrounded by a plot of world domination?

Which reminds me; I'll be bringing all the episodes of Gay GI Joe Theatre from back in my college newspaper days.

Maybe we could steer it near action adventure with slapstick comedy on the side...like Rush Hour.

COME ON, CANUCKS! We need more input!

We need a storyline that's truly awful. Think Operation Dragonfire. Or even worse: Arise Serptentor, Arise.

Pretty much. Cobra is brewing a big weapon or something in Canada and the Joe Canucks have to stop it.

So what is it about Canada that Cobra needs for this weapon?

Pine trees?

Beaver tails (the animal part or the delicious fried sugar snack)?

Are they trying to harness Hostility Towards Americans (HTA) into a deadly energy?

Has Cobra Commander just developped a taste for poutine and he's worked his plans for world domination around this?

And since this will be shot in September, there can be a running gag about Snow Serpents wanting to take off their winter gear but Major Bludd won't let them because he's sure "Canada can turn into a friggid permafrost without a second's notice."

Just a heads up guys....... since Morgardee made some good points over in the 'Joe Meet Day' thread, we 'MAY' have this in March this time...... which would delay it by a few months.

No biggie. Gives us more time to PLAN.

How about Cobra wants to take control of Norad and feels the Canadian army is an easier target to get over than the American Army. Looks like we have 3 different posts here in Canada and that would seem like a realistic mission.

That or yeah, they want our trees, beaver pelts, hockey players and maple syrup.

Or better yet, Cobra Commander got into a huge argument about how "Colour" is spelled and wants to take over Canada just to change our dictionaries to match the American dictionary. Maybe while talking with Dreadnok Demolishor he got infuriated when trying to correct Demolishor on his spelling and Demolishor would not back down.

How about something with zombies? All of the Joes stumble into a village near North Bay (or some other wasteland like that) and discover that the town is filled with ZOMBIES. Then the Joes start getting picked off... one-by-one and turned into ZOMBIES.

Oh no...Jon S, you're slowly turning into Manw/oaname from Joecustoms. However, I could dig the zombies considering I zombiefied a small army of my joes.

How about this: Cobra made an alliance with Kwinn's evil twin's brother in law's uncle Burt to dig some crystal from the northern territories. With those crystals, they plan to recreate the mass Devise: MD MARK II !!!

A new team of gi joe must arise, more adapted to this frozen land: Joe Canuck!

Action, passion, humour, whales, ice and more ice...oh and a bunch of heroes fighting evil bla bla bla

OH!! add some zombies too...

Nice and simple premise. We could use Charles' modified Terror Drome as the Mass Devise Mark II. Just check out that friggin' laser beam.
But maybe instead of having Kwinn's evil twin brother-in-law's aunt'snephewtwiceremovedson'sroommatefromcollegefather'sstepson-
whatever....why not have a distinguished evil canuck like Demolisher, or someone 'completely' original.

I'm going to start a poll soon of what plot would be best for the Joe Canuck dio-story.

Post by: Redmao on October 11, 2004, 07:20:18 AM
glad you like the idea. You're right, we need a brand new original villain. He (she) could be the head of a big company as a front. None of the staff would be aware that the company's president is in fact (put evil name here). This might allow for some more urban settings to enrich our story.

He (she) might have a small bunch of bodyguards dressed in business suits when in the city...

guys I had a flash (a small one) for our story. With the current situation the worldwide attention is turned towards the USA and with this much attention the original joe team is bound to HQ.

When new terror threat arises from some island its up to the canadian chapter to investigate this mysterious island.

Think of this island as a much bigger Springfield with different areas like cities, jungle and icy mountain peaks

The team might discover that this island is ruled by a certain Orlof, a billionaire business man that bought the island in the mid 70's. Orlof might possess allies in many countries giving him weapons and supplies in exchange for some exclusive ressources (drugs, diamonds, bio chemicals)
Orlof might have links to cobra thus the need for Joe canuck...

Who is Orlof? I looked on google and it talks about the aweful Dr. Orlof. Is that who you mean?

I dunno its just a name that popped in my head. he could be named killalot for all I care :)

Like I said its just an idea for our story. he could have also kidnapped some scientist in north pole and brought em on his island... so we'd have a rescue mission on our hands

Post by: Agent_Loop on November 09, 2004, 12:09:15 PM
Redmao, that idea sounds good. It could be the main plotline. Of course, with all the members we have in Joe Canuck, there is a lot of subplot possibilities in that main plot that will all be tied together at the end.

I have a file babinet thing from the Robocop Alpha toyline that I always thought would make a nice setting for a dio-scene. So when we write the story, we need to include a scene with a file cabinet.
Title: Joe Canuck, the Movie (dio-story)
Post by: Redmao on November 23, 2004, 02:24:05 PM
we could need to retreive some file in some lab or office....

So you could use your ninja infiltration skills  :shifty: .....of course!  We could set up an office with the Ghostbusters hq I got from Raptor. I got some other furniture set-up in there to make it look like a den/office.

Has anyone seen this....?

It would be great for a undercover Cobra hq.

that reminds me!!! I do have a playmobil medieval castle / fort / ruins we could use... Yeah I bought it a few years ago and never did anything with it...
It might be a cobra/our enemy out post or secret lair.... It could be ruins on the surface and some super techno lab might lurk underneath.

I also have a playmobil toilet and sink... :shifty:  I wanted the figure that came with the bathroom set...
