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

[DarknessOfDeath]

mmm red heads

 

[CEREBRAL....]

Get over yourself.

The critiques concerned the concept and color choice of the manip. Not the merit of how well-made it was.

and like an a-hole everyone got ones right?

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

easy guys.

 

[Timstuff]

mmm red heads

I heard some rather disturbing claims that they're actually endangered now. And there is only one way that this dilemma can be solved! t:

It's just too bad it's not easier to find hot ones... That may be the real reason they're endangered.

 

[NoirMan82]

That is the entire point. You Hollywood homer types crack me up. I mean really...a slap in the face the every Hollywood creative team? LMAO. The idea sucks and the design sucks, saying so is in fact opinion. My previous statement was to reflect that many others are saying... this thread alone is proof of that so click the back button a few pages.




black insert what ever suit type you like... old and tired.



Oh let's tackle these gems.

1. I was obviously working off of the assumption that we were talking about updated and changed designs so the Captain Obvious statement that Cobra wore blue is a left field "duh." Sorry next time I will not make such assumptions and maybe use crayon.

2. The “faithful design argument” is yours and yours alone. Point in fact I stated very clearly that “Nobody is saying they want an exact remake of the 80's costumes.” So where you like to hear your own self go on about this and that, you obviously lack basic reading comprehension.

REALLLLLY?

Would you prefer ranch or bbq sauce?



Oh the massive level of assumption and the “oh so sweet” irony combine into a truly entraining experience. Please don’t stop posting. It is like watching a sweater slowly unravel.

Yo'ure right! My god, I'm so embarrased! Your arrogant double talk and Googled images are tearing apart my cleary skewered world perspective. Apox upon my folly! Okay, I'm laying it on thick, man, sorry. I know some people don't like, and I know some do like it, but the forum posters here aren't an accurate representation of the american public, so you have to take it all with a grain of salt. Your also making it out to look like I'm a card-carrying Hollywood producer or something. Although I do like the outfit, I'm not saying it's the perfect choice, I'm just saying that you can't completely bash it because it doesn't fit your mental concept of what it should be.

You're still clinging to your whole "Batman" tirade like it was the True Cross. Batman wears black because Batman wears black. The X-Men wore it because bright spandex looks dumb on such serious characters in such a serious storyline. Scarlett is wearing black for practical and yet to be revealed reasons. Besides Batman and X-Men, I can't think of many more comic adaptations that change colors to black that didn't warrant it. So saying it's "old and tired" is saying "it's not what I want". Just say that instead of making baseless claims. From what I've seen, most comic movies are staying true to form with the costumes aside from the afformentioned.

And, oh yeah, my "gems":

1.) Sorry for misunderstanding you. I should use my telepathy in the future to know what you mean instead of reading what you wrote literally. My bad.

2.) The faithful argument isn't mine alone. It's being echoed by alot of people here and abroad. I wasn't directing that portion at you, but to people in general. Seeing how you're obviously an self-absorbed-internet fueled-egomaniac, I see why you misunderstood.

And as for those pictures:

I'm an Army buff, my best friend is a Sgt. in Army and he hands down a lot of training, knowledge, and equipment to me. I've visited him in Ft. Carson, Ft. Knox, and numerous other military bases. He's sent me pictures and video from his exploits in Bosnia, Serbia, and Iraq. In all of this, I've never seen any soldiers dressed like the JOES. Although having a personal fashion sense is great for a cartoon, it goes against the foundation of being a soldier. A soldier is not an individual. He is to function as an almost faceless cog in a greater machine. It doesn't matter if he's a SEAL, Delta, Ranger, or infantry. No soldier goes out in the field dressed like the guy you posted, none. He's a d-bag posing for a picture. And before you inject you're "this is fiction" idea in your head, a film using real people in at least seemingly real settings calls for a realistic approach to a certain level. It has to resemble something were are familiar with everyday. Like I said before, this suit isn't the best choice, but it's not horrible either.

Denny ,you can use all the bravado and snide comments you want, but it doesn't make you right. It also doesn't make you wrong. The same can be said for me. The difference between us is that I understand that and you don't. The reason I'm more open to the suit is that I'm not as obsessed with my own personal paradigm that I must castrate anything that doesn't fit it, like you. So post all the crappy pictures and hack-handled BS you like, it doesn't change a thing. It is what it is and there's nothing you can do about it. I love when people feel like they've won, and never take the time to realize there's no victory to be had.

 

[copywrite]

Do we know this for a fact?

...and if true, why release a first-look shot of Scarlet in a suit she only wears for one scene?


I don't think so.

Yes, it is fact. It's like the last battle uniform. You honestly think she's going to be walking around wearing that? This isn't a cartoon, they'll wear more than one outfit.

earlier i posted that i don't know if this is her only suit. i doubt is, but IF it is then i don't see why they couldn't have added a little color...

...her suit looks cool, but the fact that it's all black kills me. even if they aren't faithful to the original colors or have to add small hints of colors here and there it would've been better. all black is boring and a waste of today's camera technology imo.

Here it is.

What is so difficult in making something like this? I just CAN'T get it.

 

[DOG LIPS]

I dunno why, but it kind of reminds me of the suits they wore in that Lost in Space remake.

I like the second version better this color scheme just reminds me of Iron Man too much

 

[RockSP]

Looks more like the Baroness than Scarlett to me.

Yep. Except for the red hair of course.

When I first saw it I thought it looked like she was wearing Snake Eyes' outfit...

Really… you are an Army buff? Wow!
You have a friend that is in the Military huh? That makes you an authority?

Talk to me now smart guy.


Can it maybe be that someone actually knows more about a subject that you from actual experience? Some of us have done more that sit on the couch and watch the Military channel and visit the Army surplus store “Mr. Expert.” If you want Military reality, step away from the keyboard and go talk to a recruiter.

Your potato bug defense is to claim that anybody who disagrees with you is a “self-absorbed-internet fueled-egomaniac” is the textbook example of the pot calling the kettle black.

You see the bravado you point out or what can be construed as bravado is in reality just the difference between one backpedaling individual who wants to sound like they know what they are talking about and one who actually does. Secondly, where you get off calling anybody who is serving their country a “d-bag” is beyond me. As someone who has never been in combat and enjoys all of the luxuries that “d-bags,” like that guy provides, you have a lot of nerve. He does not meet your visual expectation of Military dress while in country. Once again, strap on a brain bucket and take a walk in the sun before you start spouting off junior.

You have asserted so far that anyone who does not see your viewpoint on this subject is a pasty fan boy who is stuck in the 80’s and is unwilling to accepts any change at all. So far you are batting zero young man. Your long wined dissertations are nothing more than hubris filled internet *********ory session that have zero substance other than hearing yourself talk.

I didn't claim to be an "expert" Denny. I said was stating my experience with the matter. Putting quote marks on things I didn't even say or claim to be doesn't help you. Pulling out what I'm suppose to view as real military stats just because you say they are doesn't either. You're starting to sound desperate, mainly because what you just wrote is a mish-mash of things I didn't even say, things said that were out of context from 2 pages ago, personal assualts, and more of the same rhetoric you've been spouting post after post.
Don't forget you started this with me just because I didn't agree with you. Then you had to assert your superiorty over me for whatever reason. And I don't know where all this "young man" crap is coming from "old timer". Especially seeing how you're only 10 years older than me. Also I can call anyone I wan't a "d-bag" because it's my god-given right to say what I please. Once again, you're trying to assert some sort of position of superiority or authority by saying I can't. You're not R. Lee Ermy, and I'm not Private Pyle, so save the Full Metal Jacket rants for someone it works on. You're not even making a point anymore, you're just wagging your finger at me and reflecting the comments I made toward you back at me. So if all I have to look forward to from your posting is this, I gladly disengage myself from the discussion. It's not even about the material anymore, it's about you feeling the need to stroke your ego and trying to put me down (and failing) so you can feel right. I can see where you're trying to take this, and I'm not going there.

 

[DorkyFresh]

guys...your argument is straying off the topic. you might wanna take it to PMs.

I was actually thinking the same thing. My apologies to the rest of the board.
Carry on.

 

[DorkyFresh]

no probs, Den. i actually thought you made a lot of good points and i was rooting for you...hehe. anyway...


...yeah, i posted this in the costumes thread, but i don't see why they can't give the G.I. Joe battle suits a bit of color considering Snake Eyes has, not only more color, but he also has corny sculpted muscles.

Did you see how it would look if it was dark gray instead of black? Probably would look even better. Nice job though.

And by the way, if she is an intelligence operative, she could wear whatever colors she wants. Its about infiltration, not stealth. She supposed to be able to be invisible in plain sight.

Yeah we got a little carried away...okay alot of carried away. I didn't mean to assassinate the thread. My bad.

If Marlon Wayans gets anywhere near Scarlett in the movie, he WILL be a white chick by the time I'm done with him!
