First look at G.I. Joe's Scarlett.

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

for some reason, that expression on her face just turns me on.

...too much information?

Yes.

Because it looks like she's looking at you with your pants down?

I kid, I kid! t:

 

[Shadow-Guardian]

Seriously though, she looks so damn hot. Oh how I'm looking forward to the "training" scene. Mwahahaha.

Down boy.

Spoiler

The wizard interview basically spoils the whole Scarlett/Ripcord/Snake Eyes thing.

They basically say Ripcord gets the girl, and Snake Eyes "observes" Ripcord hitting on Scarlett, and Ripcord ultimately earns Snake Eyes respect and blessing to be with Scarlett.

*VOMITS*

 

[The Guard]

Which...we already knew.

 

[Blade X]

Its not creative because they just said, "Oh we can't figure out a way to make this relationship compelling for a movie. So let's just stick the redhead with the black guy that can talk."

There's nothing creative about having the wisecracking goofball hitting on the hot girl who ultimately returns his affections at the end.

I agree with everything you said.

You love repeating yourself, don't you? I doubt everybody else does, though.

 

[Balthus Dire]

That's too bad, I was hoping they would make it interesting with Snake Eyes and Scarlett. It would've been something fresh at least to see that in the genre rather than just going with the cliche.

Kinda like what they did with Uhura and Spock in the new ST.

 

[Shadow-Guardian]

Down boy.

Sorry, master.

 

[The Guard]

I'm pretty sure they're not just sticking Scarlett with the fun black guy. I would imagine there will be some sort of Scarlet/Snake Eyes/Ripcord love triangle thing if there's a sequel.

 

[bunk]

Sons of *****es. I liked the fighting, and the ninjas and what not, but it was always the jomance that had me coming back for more.

Jomance?

I know what you mean. Wayans would carve he romance right out the movie, I fear.

 

[Bug-Eyed Earl]

So do you think the S/R romance would have gone over better if they had cast Topher Grace as Ripcord (as the article that announced Wayans' casting said almost happened?)

 

[Timstuff]

No, because Snake Eyes is my favorite character. He and Scarlett were the "canon couple" from the beginning, and that pleased me since I liked both of them, and felt that Snake was easily deserving of (who in my mind) was the finest of the female Joes. But these days, Hasbro keeps c*** blocking him! If it's not Ripcord in Rise of Cobra, it's Duke in Sigma 6 or Resolute. She's now to GI Joe what Wonder Woman is to the Justice League!

If they want to make things interesting, in the second movie they should set up a love triangle with Scarlett, Snake Eyes, and Ripcord, and not fully resolve it until the third movie. That'd be a great way to stir up some additional tension in the story, as well as pleasing the fans of the Snake / Scarlett ship.

Why would any woman take Marlon Wayans when they can have a freaking NINJA?

 

[Balthus Dire]

I just think the hottest chick on the JOEs going for the mute ninja is a much more interesting approach than just having her go for the funny jokester.

It depends whose canon you decide to follow. If I remember right, the animated series always placed Scarlett with Duke; even way back to the original series.

This is summer goofy entertainment. Having the white chick with the black guy would be less weird than having her with the mute fighter whose face we will never see and only emotes via fights and pantomime. If Duke didn't have a past with Baroness she'd be with him more than likely.

 

[Timstuff]

I was watching GI Joe Resolute yesterday, and it pissed me off when Scarlett made her declaration of love to Duke. Seeing as Resolute was meant to be a fanboy pleaser, you'd think they'd have gone for the fan-approved ship rather than the obvious "oh, he's the most recognizeable male character, and she's the most recognizeable female character, so let's put them together!" route.

Snake Eyes just tag that ass with one of those tattoos.

Once again, lack of creativity. Just shows they truly don't know the Snake Eyes character, or Scarlett for that matter.

Marlon Wayans does not belong in this movie. He will be GI JOE's equivalent of car car binks.

 

[Darthkush]

Ya know, I never really cared who Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Duke or Ripcord were with, I was all about Flint and Lady Jaye. They even got married in the comics! They're not in the movie though

My 2nd favorite Joe couple is Destro and the Baroness...who has history with Captain Bland..er, I mean Duke in the movie though

 

[enterthemadness]

Only reason I shall see and buy the movie on blu-ray is cause of Rachel as Scarlett.

One word..


DAMN....

 

[Fresh Prince]

Whats up with the rasicsm. So what if on film they have a white women dating a black women.

Right she bad man.

It's not THAT she is with the black man- it is the particular black man (whose race was not specified in the script) that people have a problem with. If Ripcord was played by a white actor, people would still be upset.
