General Joe Talk / Re: Stephen Sommers Will Not Direct G.I. Joe 2

And I don't disagree with you on that point either.  I think Tatum was also miscast to be honest.  As were Miller and Nichols.

Ripcord was my biggest beef. I didn't like the "wrong" love triangle/sibling thing either. I thought Miller was a beautiful Baroness when she was being mainpulative, etc. Nichols woulda been perfect as Scarlet in a different script. She's the one I'm most sad is not returning.

I hope the new movie takes more of a Special Missions / A-Team approach. Sort of like Renegades.

Pray the writers come through.  And Tatum took acting classes.

I'm not necessarily defending Tatum but keep in mind that it is the Director's role to tell actors how to act. Sommers, Bay, Lucas, etc are known for not giving good direction and just telling the actors what is happening in the scene and go with it. That's not good directing.

I hope so too... either way most of us WILL see it regardless and most WILL buy the DVDBlu-Ray when it comes out!

Very true. Just like we all hope TF3 will actually be good (and way better than the first two).

This new Cobra Commander doesn't have a back story.  We don't know who he is.  Maybe he is just a normal guy who was running Cobra and the old CC that we know and love is waiting in the wings to take over. 

This is my hope. The more I mull it over, the less I like the idea of CC being killed off. However, I am interested in seeing where it goes from here.

Hey now. I liked Indy 4. I can overlook the aliens at the end. It was no less goofy then all the Nazi faces melting in Raiders of the Lost Arc.

It wasn't the aliens that bothered me. It was the whole jungle thing with monkey swinging and snakes/quicksand. They were awful, pathetic attempts at pulp-era fun. It made Indy look more like a bafoon than ever before.

And Sundance... I have no idea what you're talking about regarding Raiders.

Brian Truitt - the writer behind the new IDW Cobra Civil War news has confirmed via Twitter that the new ARAH will continue as it is out of continuity with the rest of the IDW titles.

Will ARAH continue?

I assume so although that is never mentioned. It is separate from everything else IDW established so that is where my assumption comes from.

The movie was fine for what it was, but I think the new writers are a plus.  I also think losing the director is a plus.

It was still better than TF2.

Amen to that! TF2, the Star Wars prequels, Indy 4, and Spidey 3... the greatest cinematic disappointments of this geek's life.

I could look this up, but this mean most of the other series will stop?

IDW Joe continuity is confusing.  It seems we have about 4 timelines - all over the place.

The issue was truly awesome though!

According to the article, all lines will stop and then be rebooted. The titles will be: GI Joe, Cobra, and Snake Eyes. The Joe & SE titles will tackle their battles with Cobra while Cobra will drop Chuckle's POV and now focus on who will be the next Commander. As I read it, they'll all be part of the same timeline.

I agree that the current, ending era of books was confusing. I really liked the extensions of Rise of Cobra that they did. I enjoyed that Origins and the on-going finally merged. I have no idea where Hearts & Minds fit in but it was enjoyable. Didn't buy Noir but will when it's collected in Trade. The one shots, like Helix, were good but often seemed to be out of sequence/serial with the other stories until much later. I like Helix - hope they use her more.

And I am enjoying Hama's new continuation of ARAH. Looking forward to the first collected Trade (although I already have all the issues already).
