GI Joe Movie

[Dolemite]

You know, I wonder if fans of the old-school foot-tall bearded GI Joes were flipping out this much back in the 80's when the new GI Joe was introduced. "Ninjas? Cobra? WTF is a Destro? This is bullshit, they ruined GI Joe!"

WHO gives a fuck? Back when they were our age. They listened to a radio to hear their favorite show. Most of them were too busy surfing down a muddy hill, listening to Janis Joplin singing while downing Quaaludes, and hearing her singing with a mouthful of puke.

I don't give a shit what THEY think.

Amnesty International happened. Fucking China was going to allow it, but they had to go all "OH NO THE ACLU AND AMNESTY WILL GO DOWN ON US. WE NEED TO MAKE THEM ALL PLASTIC NOW."

Which goes back to my other post. Fucking hippie ass motherfuckers, singing bullshit peace songs and downing a shit load of PCP, while singing Simon and Garfunkel bullshit lets have sex with black chicks songs.

Actually, there were people throwing fits about the small Joes back then.

The cartoon wasn't exactly The Great fucking Gatsby either, dude. Have you watched an episode recently? We were eight. We were duped. They were commercials. Why is anyone fighting in any of the shit we used to watch? Because the writers knew we were too dumb to question it and we just wanted to see lasers and karate. Why was He-Man fighting Skeletor all the time, anyway? Because he was ugly? And hey, Skeletor proved that he could be a pretty hip cat in the He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Special. Why did he go back to being a dillweed thereafter?

BECAUSE IT'S FOR KIDS.

In this, they are being faithful to the source material. Bad cult sci-fi/horror was all Transformers and GI JOE and Thundercats ever were. At best.

you are just making excuses for horrid shit. You like it? Fine, but it is horrid shit.

And there is no excuse for it. If we can get a couple good batman movies, and make movies about wizards going to school, we should be able to get a good Transformers movie. I mean shit, the TMNT movie was pretty good, all things considered. And that was mutant fucking turtles fighting a man with blades all over it.

Seriously, cut out this "LOL OMG KIDS" or "LOL COMERICAL" crap. Its a lame excuse. People have done better in the past with material that was originally for kids or selling toys, or both. It isn't a lot to ask for GIJoe or TF to get similar treatment. If a jackass in spandex dressed as a bat can get some good movies, so should some super robots. If kids flying around on brooms playing soccer can make a good movie, so should a movie about fucking soldiers. Hell, they even have the same bad guy. An evil guy with a snake face trying to take over the world.

A lot of children related properties have been updated for adults. It is not a lot to ask for those two shows to get the same.
