GI Joe Trailer

When we were kids, MoLT and I played a lot of GI Joe. I mean, a lot. My whole childhood is confusing images of transformers, GI Joe, X-men, and MoLT, sometimes involving the public library, sometimes involving the woods behind his house, and always involving guns and bikes. It's too bad, then, that MoLT is relocating to the Dirty South, otherwise it would've been nice, with 6-year-old in tow, to have seen this new Animated GI Joe when it comes out. Since I was always Snake Eyes, and he was always Storm Shadow, it's very nice to see my man completely devastate these Cobras. It's much grittier, "war is hell," than the original GI Joe, wherein only lasers were used, and the only times lasers ever hit a target was (a) if it was an airplane or vehicle of some kind (and always it caused an explosion of the said vehicle, but only after/as the Cobra/Joe was ejecting) or (b) if the target was a robot. Humans were never killed, for some reason, but that little detail looks like it will no longer apply, as Snake Eyes single-handedly goes medieval on these Cobras. (ht to I Watch Stuff)



Update. Note this isn't the live action Joe set to pop August 2009. That one, though, could be great, and as Ray Park is Snake Eyes, it'll give him undoubtedly the chance to redeem himself for being that stupid Sith apprentice before.
