What a humble runner, I’m a fan. Run didn’t go as planned between tech issues and unintended deaths but he just rolled with it no biggie. And I love the shout out he gave for NES speed runs at the end
GI: Joe has so much potential. It goes way beyond ninjas. And the fact that Snake Eyes is a speaking character with a face means the filmmakers don’t get what makes the character so special. GI: Joe involves a wide range of characters from diverse backgrounds fighting terrorism. Think about that DIVERSITY. FIGHTING. TERRORISTS. Among others, these characters include a swash buckling Hispanic sailor and his smart-ass parrot, an African American, wise-cracking mountaineer and his oafish bestie who’s weapon of choice is a bazooka, an Asian American ex Hollywood stuntman who likes to do impressions (yes, you read that correctly) and a badass Native American whose best friend is a Bald frick’in Eagle. Plus, GI: Joe is not just action. Their adventures have had heavy sci-fi and fantasy. Joes have traveled to parallel worlds where Cobra wins, they’ve fought giant see creatures, joined forces with ancient warrior spirits from Sparta and World War I, and have been tested by Egyptian God’s. Storm Shadow once discovered and wielded Excalibur, and it was as badass as it sounds. Aliens, time travel, ghosts, mind control you name it. The movies need to lean into these elements the way Marvel Studios leaned into their more outrageous concepts. The following is fact. At some point Kevin Feige convinced the Disney execs to sign off on a movie with a talking raccoon and an anthropomorphic tree that utters one phrase over and over. Some one at Paramount needs to do the same and convince the ones who sign the checks that a GI: Joe movie can include identical twins who feel each other’s pain, or a super villain created from the combined DNA of the world’s worst tyrants, or a leader who is secretly a member of an ancient reptilian race living in the Himalayas. YOU. DON’T. NEED. NINJAS. Captain America, The Winter Soldier, Falcon, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, if you look at these characters, they are essentially GI: Joes. This franchise has so much potential, and it has been frustrating seeing it going to waste for all these years. They are sitting on a goldmine! Someone at Paramount must realize this.
man. What determines when a run will warn you about flashing lights or not? Because I'm not even a minute into this run and I can't watch this anymore :/
