They already made GI Joe that appeals to Millennials

It's called Overwatch.

>>91438906
>theyre gonna make Destro the bad guy again

So it will have Cobra doing nothing wrong and fighting against the GI Joe industrial-military complex through guerrilla warfare and mass media?

>>91438906
So what I'm getting is that they're making a movie that's nothing like GI Joe and will appeal to nobody.

Aren't a lot of millennials the target demo of GI Joe anyway? Like half of the millennial generation was born in the 80s.

>Will Appeal To Millennials

Depending on the working definition, I am a millennial

I strongly suspect this will not appeal to me.

>>91439246
Millennials born in the '80s and even early '90s get really angry and personally offended if you say they are millennials.

>>91439312
It's funny everyone who wants to shit on millennials doesn't release that they fall into that category.

>>91439312
Because we're nothing like the rest of the cohort. Some of us grew up without the internet.

>>91439312
Millennial is a vague term. There isn't a real point of cutoff and mostly just means "after Gen X" which itself was a floating point. Baby Boomer is the only one with an actual idea of what it encompasses because post-war population explosion.

>>91438906
Did the last movie even do well enough for a sequel?

>>91439410
No. That is why they didn't make one for a while and are doing another relaunch later. Second attempt at shared universe since the last batch of non-Transformers films flopped.

>>91439380
In the end it's basically going to be either "Do you remember life before the internet?" or "Do you remember life before 9/11"?

People currently in high school or early into their college careers won't count.

>>91439542
So basically anyone older than 1985 is a millennial or older than 1996 is a millennial?
Seems like a large gap.

>>91439410
>>91439499
Retaliation 'was' successful, but it' because they moved the film from June 2012 to March 2013 so it wasn't lost in the summer film glut and there wasn't that much competition during March.

However because of that move it wasn't the Successful Summer Film that Hasbro wanted.

>>91439410

GI Joe: Retaliation did well enough that a sequel was greenlit during it's opening weekend. The 3rd movie has been stuck in development since then, with the occasional vague announcement that something is happening.

The only consistent thing has been the intent to use it to launch a "universe" of Hasbro movies made up of various non-Transformers properties they own.

>>91438906
For a moment I think really you want to reboot a more contemporary version of GI Joe rather than take a shot at Thundercats or He-Man. Then I immediately come to my senses and realize they'd just do the same with them. The Joe movies were already enough of a disappointment. I'm totally willing to sacrifice them for reboot after reboot in order to spare anything else I loved as a child from the treatment this and TMNT got.

I encourage... no, beg. I BEG each and everyone of you to throw your support behind a new Joe franchise so that all the other things we held so dearly may go unmolested. The Joes were soldiers above all else, they would gladly make this sacrifice for their cartoon brothers and the children that idolized them.

GO JOE

>>91439652
My Little JOEny when?

>>91439611
I would argue most people didn't really get into internet before Windows 95 so it's still not that big of a gap.

>>91439676
Probably never since that has the ability to stand on its own.
>>91439697
And a person who used Windows 95 computers would have been born in the late 80s.

Original slogan: YO JOE
New slogan for OMG millennials: YJ

Happy you were triggered anon

>>91440017
All of the Joes have their shitty gimmicks and even then Scarlett still carries guns.

Just like Snake Eyes has swords and rifles and Lady Jaye has Javelins and guns.

>>91439223
Rachel was great, she should have got a solo movie with Snake Eyes as a supporting character.

>>91438906
But Retaliation actually fixed the overly goofy style of the first one and was on the right track. Just do another sequel dammit.

As dumb as Rise of Cobra is, I enjoyed it so goddam much. It was just goofy and over-the-top, just like a GI Joe movie should be. The same cannot be said about Retaliation

>>91440357
Retaliation was more like Larry Hama GI Joe, personally I enjoyed it more than Rise of Cobra.

>>91438906
I'm glad they're taking another crack at it. Hopefully we'll get a good cartoon and fps out of it too.

Anon I think of Rise as an homage to the cartoon and Retaliation as an homage to Hama's comic run.

>>91439312
But they are literally THE ONLY MILLENIALS.

Teens born in the 00s aren't Millenials, they're the as yet unnamed post-millenial generation.

>>91439312
Because Gen Y sees millenials as refering to Gen Z

>>91440341
I want a sequel along the lines of Retaliation. Have Destro survive the prison explosion and use MARS to declare war on Cobra in retaliation. I'd love to see McCullen reclaim Baroness from the Joes and, to make use of the goofy brainwashing concept from ROC, play on her fragile state of mind to seduce to villainy. She teams up with Destro's forces to get revenge against Cobra Commander for toying with her mind. Meanwhile, the effects of the Cobra Civil War are having harsh ramifications globally and the Joes have to step in to break it up.

>>91439146
Underrated

>>91438906
How? Millenials know nothing of war, hate the military, and praise communism.

>>91441284
Military is popular now.

>I was born in the late 80's and I even remember using Windows 3.1

>>91439312
>Millennials born in the '80s and even early '90s get really angry and personally offended if you say they are millennials.

Yeah, because millennials born in the 80s remember a life without internet and cellular phones and have an entirely different frame of reference for current events, and strongly do not want to be associated with the current image of millennials.

Would you, as a rational person, want to be lumped in with a group of free speech hating poorfag narcissists with endless emotional disorders?

OOOH OOH let me get this started:

>Scarlett is now black

>casting controversy as all the ninjas are played by Chinese actors instead of Japanese ones
>G.I. Joe is a ragtag group of freedom fighters/vigilantes that travel the globe defending peaceful ethnic societies from the predation of the horrible white USA
>Trump parody
>Duke is biracial and gay
>Lady Jaye wears a hijab; is actually trans too

>>91441775
That was based on Gen X idea of what GI Joe should be. Tacticool international peacekeeping force.

>>91441859
Cobra Commander is an American used car salesman that grew rich from capitalism to make an army and Destro is an international arms dealer, both white already. The only difference is that Cobra has reached levels of saturation they have a majority of the political power and brand GI Joe as terrorists and traitors to the American dream.

>>91440585
How about G.I. Joe by Bay?

I am still baffled that Michael Bay hadn't done a G.I.Joe film.

Does anyone else just find GI Joe ridiculous? Like, ridiculous even by 80s cartoon standards.

It's basically Transformers, only replacing the transforming robots with humans. Cobra is the Decepticons, the Joes are the Autobots. Duke is Optimus Prime, Cobra Commander is Megatron.

The difference is that the Joes break our suspension of disbelief in a way the Transformers don't, precisely because the Joes are human. Giant transforming robots are already so ridiculous that if we accept them, we accept all the ridiculousness attached to them. So we totally accept that these robots have names like Hound, Huffer, Bumblebee, and Mirage. We accept that they have special powers. We accept they'll do shit like get drunk on magical glowing gasoline liquor and play basketball. They're so ridiculous at their very outset that we're willing to buy in to everything that follows.

But the Joes don't get this pass precisely because they're human. I mean, who the fuck ever heard of a guy called Dirtbike? What fucking woman would ever actually refer to herself as Baroness? And they have these special powers, too, but it's totally weird because we all know real soldiers don't have any special powers beyond shooting and raping and pillaging.

This is the whole reason Transformers survived the 80s and GI Joe didn't. You just can't accept that regular humans would be anywhere near this ridiculous, at least not without costumes and superpowers.

>>91443177
He almost did but Transformers was seen as the better option after the War in Iraq.

Thanks Bush!

Why are women always archers as if it's something easy to do? You ever tried firing arrow after arrow, shit starts to hurt man

>>91443992
Guys smash, girls shoot

A bunch of old Hollywood man paying overpriced "style" consultants to direct a movie to appeal to a demographic that is already one demographic younger from a demographic they already didn't understand when said prior demographic was young?

This should be fucking good.

>>91444140
Can you imagine being a consultant in Hollywood? It's probably really hard to establish yourself, but if you can you essentially get paid six or seven figures to spew bullshit. Just imagine it.

>>91443270
For both cases, aren't those supposed to be codenames/call signs/whatever?

Besides Megatron and Optimus of the main cast, I thought their names were English translated conventions of their actual digital/computer names designed to convey their general powersets/personality. So the big tough guy who can take a lot of hits is Ironhide and the small, fast, yellow, and sharp scout is Bumblebee? Soundwave is the spy/tech guy while Starscream is fast and loud.

>>91444223
I don't have to, I've actually seen someone do something similar.
Not precisely six figures, but he got paid a lot to just walk around and talk out of his ass while sounding confident.

>>91444407
You're right on the second bit, and that's another reason why it works for Transformers but doesn't work for GI Joe. You can totally just handwave it and say that all the Transformers' ridiculous names are translations from Cybertronian.

You COULD justify it in GI Joe by saying they're codenames or callsigns, but when do we ever hear any of the Joes' "real" names? The goofy names ARE their real names.

>>91443992

Scarlett uses a crossbow, not a longbow, so there is no physicality or athleticism to it.

Shooting a crossbow requires no more strength or stamina than it does to shoot a pistol.

>>91441779
You are on /co/, you think you aren't a narcissist poorfag with emotional disorder?

>>91444407
And to add to that, Optimus and Megs really get their names from the same source. Megatron is just named after Megatronus Prime (aka The Fallen aka the Judas of the original Primes) while Optimus is just a reincarnation of the original Optimus who was the youngest of the original 13.

It's the same fucking issue as origins of races in Warcraft. They all stem from the same source (The Titans, or Primus's functional names) even if there are multiple levels of separation from the source.

So The Titans create the Titan Keepers. Mimiron the Titan Keepers creates the goblins. Hobart the goblin creates the gilgoblin.

Or Aggramar the Titan creates Grond. Grond falls apart into the Breakers. The Breakers fall apart into magnaron. Magnaron are infected by Sporemound spores and devolve into gronn. Gronn devolve into oggron. Oggron devolve into ogres. Ogres devolve into orcs.

Nothing is original, everything is derivative of the same few core ideas combined and recombined endlessly together.

>>91444593
>when do we ever hear any of the Joes' "real" names?

The filecards.
Moderately frequently in the comics.

>>91443270
>What fucking woman would ever actually refer to herself as Baroness?

She's an actual baroness, you nitpicking bastard.

>>91441779
I'm born 1989, being a millenia is the worst because those stereotypes are so true and it's so damn hard to find girls to date that don't have those shitty opinions.

so the joes are going to tell Cobra to check their privilege, and then march in protest against the president while wearing a pink vagina hat?

>>91446253
No one knows. Mysterious dynamics, especially if it is people in their 50s trying to be like their college days

They already did it, it's called Action Force.

I liked him in Retaliation, even though he was clearly overshadowed by Ray Stevenson and whatever the fuck Johnathan Pryce thought he was doing in that movie.

JGL in Rise of Cobra was straight up Jeremy Irons in Dungeons & Dragons levels of not giving a single fuck. It's a terrible performance, but I can't say I disliked it.

the problem with the Movies was the literal production hell they both were with the writers strike affecting RoC (I still say the first two thirds of the movie is live action Sunbow) and Paramount pulling Retaliation for seven months because Avengers broke Hollywood. hopefully this time we will get the Joe film we deserve through and through with no bright idea fairies whispering in Hasbro/Paramounts ears.

as for the dreaded Millennials tag the only people I see complaining are the same people who don't want Joe to grow beyond the 80's they hated Renegades, Sigma Six Valor vs Venom and so on and so on until you devolve to the pre- 1986 roster and thats the only Joe they like Let joe grow. Revolution might not have been perfect but it showed that joe can work out of the call of duty generic Military thriller that it became, Joe works best when it's a mix of military,Pulp and Sci-fi get that and you'll have something great.

>>91444593
Military groups use callsigns/Codenames in the field especially if they are doing Wetwork black operation stuff.

Nothing about GI Joe appeals to millennials. The very nature of his character is anti-millennial. They are going to totally ruin this.

>>91438906
>"The world has changed, and I think you’re going to see G.I. Joe changing with it," explained Simon Waters, head of Hasbro Studios Consumer Products in a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times. "There’s going to be a much more contemporary approach to the whole franchise, and that will allow us to develop different characters."
>"We hope to create a head snap. It’s a different kind of ‘Joe’ — one that still resonates with ‘Joe’ fans but brings in an uninitiated audience and expands the audience internationally and domestically," added Hasbro CCO Steve Davis in the same interview.
So it's literally just stock "we're changing with the times" corporate speak, but the author and OP both wanted clickbait. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if OP *is* the author of the article looking for outrage clicks.

Shit, revamping the franchise is exactly what ARAH did in the 80s anyway. Ya'll motherfuckers don't even remember 12" Joe.

Never been much of a GI Joe fan since I was born in the 90's and all but the first movie was pretty enjoyable in a dumb way. It needed more moments of absurdity, when it knew it was just being stupid as fuck. Never saw the sequel though.

Buzzfeed recently did a video on the different generations which brought the idea of "Generation Z" to nearly two million people's attention (if you read the comments on that video, you'll find many people born in 98-99 surprised to discover they're not Millennials, or that there's a generation after Millennials at all). The video used 1998-2010 which is a rather unusual and lopsided definition, but a definition nonetheless.

Since the simple-minded masses consume Buzzfeed in large quantities, I think more and more normies are realizing lately that Millennials aren't kids or teens anymore. Heck if you look at the Wikipedia pageviews, you'll see the Gen Z page had its hugest spike ever just recently, after that video was made. Plus the video has 2 million views.

So, expect "Gen Z" to (correctly) replace "Millennial" as the go-to insult for teens soon.

Didn't we already do this? Was the 2009 reboot not written with millennials (those who were teens in 2009) in mind? If anything, this would be a reboot for generation Z.

Fuck unoriginal hollywood jew cunts.

>>91449270
The original interview never said millennials. That was added by the author.

Pisses me off how people seem to think of Millennials as people who can't remember the 80s and only have nostalgia for the 90s/early mid 2000s

People born in 1980-1984 are considered Millennials and they CAN remember the 80s. Why do they get cosigned to the dustbin?

>>91449406
>People born in 1980-1984 are considered Millennials and they CAN remember the 80s. Why do they get cosigned to the dustbin?
Well, it depends on what we did in high school in the 90s.

Eh, Retaliation was sort of the opposite of Rise of Cobra, fixed some of the messed up parts, screwed up the good ones. The second half was great, but kinda sucked for all the characters it killed off. Also, WAY too much focus on Roadblock, and even on Snake Eyes, no matter how cool he is.

G1 names never originally came from anything like that. They WERE just what the character's names were (because that's what Hasbro named them). Anything about derivations or translations (which I can't say I've ever heard about before) has been added since 2000, probably.

It's a generational category, it's invented for broad generalization. Labelling individuals with broad generalizations based on a pretty much entirely subjective term is dumb. The only thing that makes someone fall into a category is your own perception.

Actually, overwatch is pretty close to the original G.I Joe more than the movies were.

As someone who was born in 80 it could look that I'm salty, but this is an honest question:

Doesn't Millenial mean from this millenium?

So only people 17 years or less?

>>91449001
>>>Scarlett is now black
>Better than GETTING Blacked; like she did in the first film. desu.

and by one of the Wayans Brothers at that.

>>91453083
I think it refers to people who became adults capable of contributing to society during the early 00s. It's a dumb term, I agree. "Millenial" really does make more sense for the first batch of kids born after 2000.

>>91438906
I thought we 80s kids were already millennials.

FREEEEDOMMM

>>91453798
The term, like Generation X (which was meant as insult to imply they wouldn't be good for anything), was made up by the preceding generation's media mouthpieces to make themselves feel/look better by comparison.

Generational groupings are pretty bullshit though, because where do you draw the line? It's not like everybody's gonna take a year or two off from fucking.

The original line came out in like 1983 and the target demo was kids who were then old enough to know better than to try eat the toys. It's just on the cusp of millennial, but not exactly

>>91440017
Lady Jaye used javelins, Sgt Slaughter and Quick Kick went barehanded, in the cartoon at least Jinx had a gimmick where she had to fucking blind herself to fight well

It ain't sexism, it's toyetic.

>>91443270
The Joes are no more bizarre than Batman, at least in most adaptations.

>>91438906
Saw this about 2 weeks ago and continue to wonder what the fuck is up with that phrasing "appeal to millenials"? If the movies came out 20yrs ago they would still fail, they would be up there with all those other failed adaptions that most people forgot or dont even know exist.

>>91438906
>that will allow us to develop different characters
gay nigger soldiers?

Bayformers and GI joe crossover hehehehe

>>91441779
>Would you, as a rational person, want to be lumped in with a group of free speech hating poorfag narcissists with endless emotional disorders?
Well, I've been using 4chan for the past 10 years, so whether I "want" to be lumped in with that group is irrelevant since I've already made that bed.

>>91453083
No. "Millenial" is the term for what used to be called "Gen Y." People born in the 2000s are "Gen Z."

I'm just glad they're making another GI Joe movie at all. I'm withholding my disappointment.

And Covergirl came with a TANK.

The former was a lot less political then the later?

You know... I can sorta see that, except for the Expendables being mercenaries and the violent ends for the villains. Those movies didn't waste time on nonsense, so, point for them.

>>91448949
Very fair point. Add some more sci fi stuff to Expendables and you do have a good Joe movie

Rise of Cobra lost me the second they put on that armor shit. Like, okay, I can see the Joes wearing super soldier shit in dire times, but this is still the first movie.

>>91455623
I figured those were probably some action figures I had never seen.
The movie also had all that soap opera and flashbacks which, really, who would have wanted on their G.I.Joe movie?!

>>91440357
Will never forgive them for what they did to Baroness.

>>91449111
Seriously , faggots getting upset over cool sounding names now? Do they get mad at people calling Kusanagi "The Major" even though that's not her actual rank?

Hasbro works with marvel a lot. Does another production company have rights to the franchise or can they go to disney with it?

Obviously disney should never handle military movies but I will say cap has been the best of the avengers.

>>91457833
>Does another production company have rights to the franchise

IIRC it's Paramount, same with Transformers.

>>91459286
You're right. Reminded me they wanted to do the Transformers/GIJoe universe.

Which, in all honesty, isn't that bad of an idea.

Just make Walhberg Joe.

>>91439160
>So what I'm getting is that they're making a movie that's nothing like GI Joe
How can it not be like GI Joe when being inclusive ad super Gay WAS the 80's GI Joe cartoon?

You know you have to reload those things. Take a lot more strength than you think.

...REALLY?

Probably anyone who read the GI Joe comics, that's who.

>>91452158

The Cobra scenes were the best moments of Retaliation (along with the ninja mountain fight). They made Cobra Commander that awesome and yet did so little with him.

>>91459593

Try to imagine being a child in the 1980s, and being young enough to not even have any real understanding of what "gay" is.

Try to imagine a world where cartoons, movies, toys, and pro-wrestling are all full of jacked-up shirtless heroes, and there's no sexual intent behind any of it at all.

The "Gung-Ho is gay because he's shirtless" meme is as stupid as the "He-Man is gay" meme. Not everything is about sex, especially not things that were intended for children.

>>91461229
Haven't you noticed the openness of homosexuals in current society compared to then?
It was propaganda to make people think that they were "normal", then the viewers grew up

>>91461763

The "shirtless strong guys" thing dated back to circus strongmen, the carney origins of wrestling, and pulp-fantasy like Conan the Barbarian, it had nothing to do with "normalizing homosexuality".

And why is Shipwreck even part of the "GI Joe was really gay" meme? That was clearly started by someone who never even watched the cartoon.
