you wanna do a Snake Eyes origin movie, all ya gotta do is adapt the Origin of Snake Eyes from the comics and update the references from 'Nam to Afghanistan and you're golden. Seriously wonder what's wrong with Hollywood sometimes.
Prologue: a battle betwixt the Joes and Cobra, Storm Shadow on the Cobra side. His sleeve gets torn, showing his Arishikage tattoo, which Scarlett sees.
Roll title sequence.
Act 1: Scarlett digs into Snake's background. Finds he was in a USASF squad in Afghanistan. Stalker tells her about it from his POV as they walk into a group of Taliban in the 'jungle' of the Helmand river "Green Zone"; Saperstein, Wade Collins and Ramone get shot up. Stalker, Snakes and Stormy get out. They call in a Black Hawk pick-up and get attacked as the helo comes in. First time Stalker sees 'Tommy' has the tatt.
Act 2: Hawk tells them how he met Snake Eyes as he has to break the news about Snake's family when he comes home injured from the ambush. We then cut to Snake's meeting Soft Master in Spanish Harlem, discussing the Hard Master's death. Fade to flashbacks of Snake's ninja training and how he's equal to Stormy. Hard Master's assassination, Stormy on the run.
Act 3. Stalker tells Scarlett how he and Hawk recruited Snake's from his cabin in the woods. She tells how she met Snake's at a Joe hand-to-hand refresher and knew he was a master. Stormy and Snake's clash in Harlem. Foot chase to the El train. Confrontation on the train top. Stormy vanishes as Scarlett and Stalker arrive. Stormy tells Snake's in the confrontation he didn't kill Hard Master and that he's only in Cobra to find the killer.
Mid credits scene. Cobra Commander is seen in the past, hiring Zartan to kill Snake's.
Stinger: Soft Master driving into a nice little town called Springfield...

considering the shit-storm Iron Fist generated when he was cast, as a white guy, based on a white character, because of "cultural appropriation" I'd say them casting a white guy will generate a similar response.
Because *of course* white people can't be good at martial arts and, maybe, even better than some Asian people, like no white kid ever watched a Bruce Lee movie or a Jackie Chan one and took up martial arts and got good at it.

looking after my Mum who's developed Parkinson's
playing Angry Birds 2 and Marvel Contest of Champions
watching DVDs and reading comics.
plotting a DC-pastiche superhero story that I started writing and then stopped because of the heat-wave we had in the summer and then being distracted by other stuff.

I'm not even writing my fan-fic any more. I got carried away with two games on my tablet most of last year and this year I've started writing a superhero story that's a pastiche of the DC universe. (Although even that's been backburnered for now)
I still look in daily though...

they were archived somewhere on here. I remember digging around and finding them... but that was a long time ago and they might not be there...
damned if I remember where they were though...
could try googling for "Joe Canuck newsletter PDF"
