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

[phoenixflight]

Absolutely sexy!!!

Yeah, I would have loved it with a bit more color, but if Sommers is trying to place this movie in the 'real world' then it is perfectly fine and more realistic.

It reminds me of Cyclops' comment to Wolverine from the first X-Men movie..."What, you would prefer yellow spandex?!" Her orange/grey look works in comics, but I prefer this translation.

 

[Venom]

If Scarlett looks like this, what will Baroness look like?

 

[nieman]

They could've easily made the suit grey instead of black and had gold colored plates and red shoulders. Add some color please.

 

[powerbomb1411]

Damn, it was just pointed out to me. Guess now we know Black Widow should look very nice on the big screen.

 

[Sand-Saref]

I like what I see

 

[TheVileOne]

Basically looks like her Sigma Six uniform without any color. So they are all going for the black leather/rubber/spandex body armor look.

Hopefully Storm Shadow will at least look cool as well.

I'm still worried about the lack of a Snake Eyes/Scarlett romantic pairing.

 

[Balthus Dire]

It looks good, but it doesn't much look like Scarlett. If she's the only Joe with a generic costume I can live with that, but I hope we don't get an entire team of black-leather Joes.

 

[DOG LIPS]

HOT.

 

[JokerJr.]

Cool. Nice ass. Very nice ass.

exactly what i was thinking.

hot redhead in tight suit

 

[Nightmare]

sexy

 

[M.O.Steel]

its' obviously a very sexy picture, but considering how good/faithful snake eyes was, i'm a little disappointed.

 

[nightwing06]

Oh she is smoking hot.They used the same design but its in black,and thats fine with me

 

[DoctorJones]

I think it's a good translation, Rachel Nichols looks like Scarlett. And I concur with Dr. Fate, "look at the curves on that vessel".

 

[Synthoid Dealer]

This isn't the costume she'll be wearing the entire movie. It's just her version of the "power suit" that all the Joes will use in a battle scene. We'll probably get an outfit closer to the Scarlett we're all used to seeing. . .

 

[zanos]

Honestly who cares? G.I. Joe was nothing more than a cartoon made purely to sell action figures. It never trancended it's purpose unlike Transformers. The fact that it's a woman with red hair playing Scarlett should be good enough. Rachel actually looks quite good as she always does. I just don't know how she'll play the tough chick role.

Btw the comparisons to the X-Men suits made by alot of ppl is insulting to the costume designer on this film. The X-Men suits were basically his and hers leather jackets with matching pants and stitched on shoulder and leg pads. Singer and his team have the creativity and imagination of garbage men.

 

[TheVileOne]

You know Marvel publishes comic books to make money right Zanos. And zillions of action figures, toys, and pieces of merchandise.

What's so creative about this costume compared to Matrix or X-men costumes?

You are a weird person Zanos. You seem to hate and insult GI JOE then you go around and talk about how you like how the movie looks and defend the honor of the costume designers against anyone who dares compare it to the X-men movies.

 

[Mercurius]

Everybody saying it's sexy.

That's obvious, isn't it? Did anybody ever thought it wouldn't be sexy?

The point is: this IS NOT Scarlett. It's just a hot redhead in SWAT team outfit.

People look at a pic of a hot girl and forget completely what they were talking about: "WOW, hot chick! I like it. But... but who was she supposed to be?"

No no your wrong she does have a crossbow!

only kidding, I do agree with the point you make, someone mentioned that this might just be a battle uniform like in sigma six, hopefully so cause this isn't scarlet.

 

[Lobo]

Not very faithful, but she looks sexy as hell I like but don't love it

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Two thumbs down from me too.

Other than having a crossbow and red hair this isn't what Scarlett should look like. Even the Sigma 6 version (which this design is obviously based on) had a more distinctive look.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

To everyone wanting a more faithful translation of the costume, check out Street Fighter the movie, by the end of the movie everyone was in their familar video game costume and you know what, it was cheesy as hell. I like this costume, sure it isn't Snake Eyes faithful, but still looks really good and just what I'd think a special ops branch of the military would wear.

Also, watching Rachel Nichols in Alias I can definitely see her in this role.

The mere invention of a group like GI Joe is, by definition, cheesy.

Trying to make it "serious", "dark", "realistic" are just fat excuses for people not to get embarassed in confessing: "You know, I like it the way it is".

This cinema cliché is already killing the genre with utter repetition and boring pics. The Spirit dresses black, Scarlett dresses black, Wolverine dresses black.

It's unbearable. They have no distinct features because directors and technical crew are too lazy or too unimaginative and can't make an effort to bring it alive like Spider-Man or Hellboy.

It's just cheap, a convention, a cliché. Rachel is nice and hot, but her outfit is just NOT-SCARLETT.

And more: this clearly debases the visual impact of Snake-Eyes. Silence and black with no face, now he's just "the uniform" of the gang. That's crap.

 

[terry78]

I think each of their uniforms should have their own little personal touch, just to differentiate. If this is for a total team battle going on where they ALL have to be in black, fine. But her outfit should have like a little something extra on it.

 

[Mikelus]

I'm tired of all this nonsense of "she's not Scarlett 'cause the outfit is different from the cartoon, blah blah blah......"

Get real, she's a redhead and has the crossbow, part of what the Scarlett character is supposed to be. People have to stop wanting to see a cartoon on live action, is just ******ed to do that, they have to ADAPT the material for the movies, they can't copy everything from the cartoons or comics for the simple fact that it would look too cheesy and stupid, military characters wearing bright coloured outfits? Dumb!
Also, the people comparing it to the X-Men outfits, hello! The outfits from the X-Men were different, they were leather style, Scarlett has more of a protection gear jacket, with straps over her shoulders and pads protecting different parts of her body.

Is just logical they change some details, fanboys are not enough to make a profit, they have to make it appealing enough for the general public so the movie has the best chance of being successful, that's how it works, some seem to live on their own little world disconnected from reality.

Rachel Nichols: bojoing!
