Martial arts master: the official "Ray Park is Snake-Eyes" thread

[Golgo-13]

If i was a vigilante, i'd dress up just like that!

 

[jasontodd]

Hate to just restate what almost everybody else has been, but wow!! I had my doubts about this project, but that is one impressive Snake Eyes right there. I'm excited Snake Eyes has been my favorite since childhood. Looking forward to the inevitable Storm Shadow pic being released.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Snake Eye's costume is just much more simple than Wolverine's. It's a black, bodytight, Ninja suit. That's much easier to accept in real life than a guy in blue/yellow spandex and a goofy mask.

Yeah, MUCH easier to accept than a guy in red and blue tights with webs all over it... Oh, wait...Sony already rode that horse with with Spider-Man! And they succeded. 3 movies, 3 blockbusters. Guess spandex isn't that unacceptable after all, eh?

It's different when you have a skinny, dorky character rather than someone who's supposed to be muscular and bad ass. He would look ridiculous like that in the movies.

It's not different at all. Superman is muscular and badass, and yet no one ever gives him **** about his "trunks over tights" look, which is just as goofy "in teh real world" as anything Wolverine has ever worn in the comics.

If the public can accept Superman, they can accept costumed Wolverine.

edit: Snake Eyes looks great, go Ray go!

I hate Superman though.

Well, Spider-Man always had a great looking costume. The colors are still easier to get away with than Wolverine's and his mask by far isn't as dorky. Not to mention that Spider-Man is a lighter character. He's your friengly neighborhood Spider-Man afterall.

Wolverine on the other hand is a darker character. With his way of disposing thugs by slicing and dicing them, his military background and hardass attitude, he really isn't the guy suited for yellow spandex.

Most important though, the X-Men in the Movies weren't public superheroes like Spider-Man. So really, why would they dress up in colorful tights when they work in secret?

It's not different at all. Superman is muscular and badass, and yet no one ever gives him **** about his "trunks over tights" look, which is just as goofy "in teh real world" as anything Wolverine has ever worn in the comics.

Superman, just like Spider-Man, is a lighter character. And surprisingly both have the same color scheme, which I already mentioned before works better than blue & yellow. He's also like a symbol for the whole world. So he looks like your typical Superhero.

If the public can accept Superman, they can accept costumed Wolverine.

I'm pretty sure the public has an easier time to accept Superman who is generally known for getting kitten from trees and looks like a boyscout, than Wolverine who appears in newspapers for slicing thugs and looking like a crazy guy as he goes into another berserk mode.

 

[Hotwire]

I'm not sure how this got turned into the "Wolverine can wear yellow spandex" thread, but I think I can solve your debate. Check out this guy, and he only went for the yellow and blue top with jeans. He looks like a dorky fan, not a badass. Sorry to break it to you, but somethings can only be pulled off in comics.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Yellow pandex would never work.............hmmm maybe the brown they went for in some of the comics?

 

[Nathan]

If it were up to me, I'd have Wolverine wear this costume in an X-Men Movie. But instead of making the stripes completely yellow, I'd just have yellow or orange outlines.



But ultimately, this would be my favorite outfit.



Anyway, back on topic. Snake Eye's still looks badass. Looking forward to see pictures of the rest of the cast.

 

[Mikelus]

To compare Spiderman or Superman's suit to Wolverine's is just stupid. Blue is a lot more discreet and easier to look at than yellow, period.

They got the perfect Snake Eyes look, faithful to the source with just enough modifications to make it work for the film.

 

[Spider-Who?]

i love how those of us who have a problem with the suit gave valid reasons without resorting to any childish behavior, and then the ones who throw out insults at us for having said opinions have the balls to say WE are the ones that give fanboys a bad name.

MY problem isnt the fact that the suit resembles the comics - thats great. What my problem is is that the muscles are
1)unneeded (look at Spider-Man/Superman - sure there was a muscle suit, but it wasnt obvious)
2)look completely and utterly fake. And even if its not meant to be "his muscles", its still a bad, bad rendition for body armor - it looks like he got the muscles from a Halloween store.

I dig what they tried to do, i respect their attempts to remain faithful, but dude, that torso needs some more work...

And if you have a problem with my (or others opinions) well, all I can say is, "I don't care."

Perfect, cause "I don't care" either.

 

[Spider-Who?]

YEAY! We are in agreement then!

 

[thegameq]

Not really. Some characters work, some don't. Wolverine would look ridiculous in yellow spandex in real life. Anyway, Snake looks awesome.

True. However I think most would op for Wolverine's brownish costume or a costume similar to his Ultimate look.

 

[Satyrlicious]

I'm digging the costume, but why did they put veins on the body armor?

Ray Park is kinda ripped though, so the suit may not be that exaggerated. You can tell the arms are all him.

 

[Raiden]

I have dislike most news I heard about this movie thus far, but I have to admit that the first 2 Snakeyes pics are terrific. Unfortunately, Tatum's look as Duke doesn't. I hope more pics will be appealing like Snakeyes and not like Duke.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Ripped or not, cloth does NOT allow for showing muscle definition like that on the suit - while the overall "thickness" of his arms might be his own muscle, the definition that the costume shows is fake.

I think Triple H could pull off Thor....

I don't know why a G.I. Joe movie is being made and I certainly won't be watching it, but Ray Park is badass.

Looks isn't everything. The movie would be considered a joke if they cast a wrestler as the lead role.

It wouldn't be such a joke if wrestlers stopped picking such stupid stereotypical movies to star in.

Still, I like the idea of Kevin McKidd for Thor.



Now, back on topic!
