I just saw a preview for it, and it looked pretty fucking awesome. I can’t wait to see the great gorilla uprising.

Saw the preview a few weeks back and was impressed.

Netflix has the 90’s Spider-Man on streaming one good thing about being bought by Disney they aren’t afraid to show their cartoons. Now all we need is the 80’s Spider-Man, Hulk, and Soider-Man and His Amazing Friends preferably unedited and with Stan Lee’s narration.[/quote]
I saw the Silver Surfer cartoon listed in there too. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is up too. I have no idea how well either of those shows has aged.[/quote]
Silver Surfer was always trippy He-Man does not hold up at all no direct violence and the stories have as much depth as a Bay film

More GI Joe 2 news:
-
Adrianne Palicki (of the cancelled-before-it-began Wonder Woman tv show) as Lady Jaye. Not sure how they’ll work around all her fancy-shmancy javelins though.
-
Ray Stevenson as Firefly, “The film’s key villain.” I really like Stevenson (he was definitely the highlight in War Zone and is awesome in Kill the Irishman), but in a million years I wouldn’t have pegged him as Firefly. Stevenson’s 6’4" and has a super-intense glare/demeanor. Having him in a full-face hood as a stealthy/covert ops guy just doesn’t seem to jive.
-
On the downside, they’re still looking to cast some teen heart-throb-type of dude for a Joe called “Mouse.”

They are redesigning Snake Eyes’ suit. Ray Park said it looks “awesome.”[/quote]
I don’t think the Javelins would be that hard to work around. Spears were a part of warfare for millennia I don’t think one eccentric female using javelins in combat will break the movie. Plus, it’s not like Lady Jaye never picked up a rifle. The Javelins were often a fall back weapon.
Firefly has always been more of a demolitions specialist. In that light I can see Ray Stevenson blowing some shit up.
Snake Eyes suit never really bothered me. It was low on the list of complaints compared to so much else. Like SS and SE receiving all their Ninja schooling from Hard Master by the age of 10 or so.

That and the vow of silence bs really got to me, Snake Eyes can’t speak due to having a chopper blade severing his vocal cords, he was saving Scarlett that is real important in the comics and just shat on in this film what wasted potential this had.

Yeah, that was pretty lame. I bought mini series GI JOE vs Transformers that was set in WWII. It had a similar origin story for SE. SE was busy saving Scarlet when something blew up in his face. Then he used gunpowder to cauterize the wounds. I may have to go dig it out and re-read it.
I can enjoy the GI JOE movie when I gloss over the details, and let the stupid shit slide. There were a lot of face-palm and groan worthy ideas thrown around in that film.

last one notice the back spider is red I like that, and the addition of webshooters but what is up with boots and gloves can this new spider-man not cling to walls? If not he cannot do whatever a spider can as the song goes

That was honestly my only real complaint about the movie. Movies like this, I generally just try to let go and enjoy them for what they are: entertainment and fun. But the power suits were something I simply abhorred. It was so obvious they were trying to cash in on Halo fanboys. Which isn’t a bad thing in itself but has no business in a G.I. Joe movie, cartoon, etc.

In the comics, he could stick to walls due to “adhesion powers”. I don’t think he ever needed actual skin contact until Rami added the insect prongs to his skin.
Anybody out there jumping on the digital comics bandwagon? There’s www.comixology.com which works on just about anything, and the Comics+ app specifically designed for the iOS systems (iPad, iPhone, etc.).
I know there are lots of purists who complain about paper comics going the way of movies, music, and books and becoming obsolete. Heck, even I still like to collect (signed editions, guest covers by artists I particularly enjoy, etc.). But I have to admit: being able to read comics anytime I want on my iPhone, laptop or an iPad is pretty friggin’ awesome.
It’s honestly kind of reinvigorated my love for comics all over again and caused me to give some books a try that I may otherwise not have (it’s a lot easier to press a button to download than it is to go to the store and browse, obviously).

Well, Iron Man Extremis digital comic is actually a downgrade from the comic…which by itself would make a great movie.
I really don’t get the feeling that simply making still pictures move elevates the media.

I will never buy a comic online my weekly pilgramige to New England Comics keeps me sane. I go pick up my sub, talk to Bob(the guy who made the Tick blue), go home and put my books in the order I want to read there is nothing better

No, no, I’m talking about the actual comic books themselves, just scanned and readable in a digital format. It’s all still. You just scroll through with your fingertips, zoom in/out, etc.
I agree, adding motion to “paper” (for lack of a better term) comics is just stupid. In my (and I guess your) opinion, anyway.
