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

[Sand-Saref]

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.

I agree t:

 

[thegameq]

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

Very ditto. Is this supposed to be a fantasy film or are they going to put restraints on the creativity with the god forsaken realism angle? God not the black rubber/leather uniform look for everyone again.

I'm really beginning to hate Hollywood when it comes to fantasy films.

 

[Midnhtsun]

I get your point Mikelus, the only problem I have with the costumes is that they could have included more color to them. The current one look fairly similar to those in the sigma six but all black, throwing some color in there would greatly help the characters to feel more like their animated counter parts.

 

[DorkyFresh]

once again, i'm hoping this isn't her main suit but if it is....if they had colored the suit a dark brown or added hints of brown then it wouldn't be so bad, but if they continue to give more characters all black suits then it will be stripping away their individuality from a visual standpoint. like 'Venom' posted earlier.....if Scarlett looks like this, what is the Baroness gonna look like?

 

[ANTOINE X]

Nope! I don't agree at all. Theres nothing foolish about this outfit. They can dot it if they want but again too lazy to try. Look I don't want a SWAT team all in black . And one of the good things beside the actions and the story line it s their costumes. Each character is unique. They have different outfit and weaponry. And scarlet is not snake eyes so no need to be in black.

I don't think anybody was realistically expecting they'd go with Scarlett's oldschool yellow gloves and boots combination.

What's wrong with the design is that it is completely generic and void of any originality. Red hair and crossbow is the only thing they carried over from her character and after that the creativity went out the window. Heck more thought probably goes into designing the outfits for the models on the Action Girls website.

This could be ANY character ie Black Widow/Baroness/Kim Possible.

[Mr. Wiener]

*DROOLS* Cant wait for this movie!

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

She's hot, but I dont like this outfit she's in. Theres no "character" to it.

Ya but the main features of the charter are there red hair heck even the ponytail from the cartoon, crossbow, green eyes to me this screams Scarlett besides its her power suite I doubt she will be in it the whole time. I'm amazed at how many people don't like how she looks.

Okay, I'm not familiar with G.I.Joe at all, and I just came here because this costume was mentioned on the TDK boards. And I'm baffled that anyone can say that the original costume couldn't be translated on screen. It's denim blue and tan. It is hardly gaudy like Superman's or Spider-Man's costumes.

So, I agree that the all-black costume is just another hollywood convention that lazy costume designers stick to.

 

[CEREBRAL....]

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. . .

^^If that's the case then i'm all for it...

but if not...then i'm with everyone that thinks the colors should stay faithful to the cartoon and comic....

Well in the real world if you don't want to get your a** shot off go with black I think this would keep you better hidden then a "denium blue and tan.

Well, thank god Scarlett doesn't exist in the real world then!

 

[Balthus Dire]

I'll betcha she wears a denim jacket with a tanned shirt underneath at some point in the movie as her "street clothes".

Is it any wonder that G.I. Joe's costume designer also worked on Starship Troopers? Talk about recycling ideas.

Or maybe for training.

So what do you mean have her be an open target just cuz she not a real character.

Well obviously because shes a main character in a movie she isn't going to be killed. She'll survive the same way James Bond survives in his tux.

Sorry Dude but in the real world Spec ops and Tactical teams including SWAT dont usually wear black, even for night ops. Black stands out. Dark Grey Green Or dark blue are preferred colors. Don't believe me? Turn off the lights in a room and put something relatively large and completely black in there and youu'll pick it out every time. Shadows aren't black. Even Ninjas understood this concept millenia ago. Now you know and knowing is........ I can't finish that comment, It's too Cliche' kinda like her outfit.

That room analogy isn't great, because nothing is visible in a pitch black room, but yes you are absolutely correct otherwise. In a typical night/dark situation there is usually some light. So, black would stand out more.

I'm saying black is the best option but it's better then denium blue and tan. I mean come on.

For a real-life SWAT member, yes. For a fictional character, its perfectly acceptable to wear denim blue and tan.

I'm sure they could have dulled the color scheme down to something more conventional, more in line with her color scheme. More Sigma Sux pandering to the 5 year old public from Hollywoood.

 

[M.O.Steel]

they could keep the same suit and make some parts more lighter brown.
