New 'G.I. Joe' Character Posters
Filed under: Action, Paramount, Newsstand, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Images, War, Posters
It's only the middle of December, and already I feel like Summer 2009 is just around the corner. It feels like I was bombarded with Terminator: Salvation and X-Men Origin: Wolverine all weekend, and now G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra is coming back into the mix of things with a few new character posters. They're not entirely new, as they first appeared over the summer at a licensing fair, but have been scanned online for the first time thanks to Film.ru. There's four in all -- Duke, Snake Eyes, Baroness, and Ripcord, and all four have been added to the GI Joe gallery below. Unfortunately, they haven't appeared in a big, hi-res version yet.
Paramount might want to reconsider the design since they look just like the Star Trek character posters. You can't have people wandering into Trek, and wondering where the heck Snake Eyes is. G.I. Joe is the All American Hero! Make these screamingly obvious -- red, white, and blue all the way! At least throw in the camoflauge I remember (and probably wrongly) from the packaging. None of this classiness and silver font -- that has to be left for Mission: Impossible installments.

That Wayans dude? Are you serious? I'll wait for Clay Aiken as Lion-o in the Thundercats movie.

This is going to be total crap. The whole concept is neutered so it will sell in international markets. GI Joe was the "Real American Hero". Going international with it just makes it uber blah. I'm tired of the Anti-American bullshit prevalent in media and entertainment today. No matter what your politics, the USA is a pretty damn nice place to live, and worth defending.
And I agree that everyone in black costumes is so passe. Give us a little color, you tards. Only Snake-Eyes should be in all black. The individuality of the costumes help give each character personality. I'm not against modernizing them, obviously Scarlet doesn't need to wear yellow and purple, but all black is a bit much.
I'd pay to see Clay Aiken as Lion-o. I don't think I would ever stop laughing :-) Maybe Richard Simmons could be Panthro.
