• In a horrible way this is beyond amusing.  "But Deaf people LOVE dubstep!"

• oh. that, i did not know. thanks for the info!

• Can I put that I ruined the internet on my resume?

• Well we'll have to see how that goes. Hard to believe he'll be worse than the Wayans.

• And the obligatory "I make fun of your first comment" reply also rears its ugly head. Instead of letting it die the death it always deserved you kept the "First" legacy alive by slamming the original jackhole who can't comment properly with your own tired and useless post about his tired and useless post. Congratulations to all, we've ruined the internet.

• I tried telling Rob this months ago, but Jon Chu is responsible for the LXD and it's kind of amazingly awesome. I had no worries about this whatsoever.

• Is this still a sequel?  Cause if they remade the first flick with this, I wouldn't argue!

• No, thank the gods. But the movie will have RZA in it... *facepalm*

• Agreed. I liked RED as it's own movie with similar premise. But the original RED was FUCKING BRUTAL and FAR from funny. Unfortunately I made the mistake of reading it prior to seeing the film. Similar crap happened with "Wanted" except NOTHING about the film version was any good...

• Channing Tatum LOVES the Cock...

• NNNNNNNNNNO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONONO!!!!!

• You may be saying that in jest, but apparently because of the "Wub-Wub" bass, I hear from my Deaf Studies brother that Dubstep is SUPER popular in the Deaf Community, since it being played loudly supposedly enables them to "feel the music more". I laughed about that until I realized that he wasn't and said, "I. Hate. Dubstep." So yeah, whereas we hearing folk may think it's a disco-esque passing fad, the Deaf community has eaten it up, just like the fat guy in a leisure suit scarfs that Watergate Salad...

• Either as a surprise to the masses as to what uncredited actor plays him, or because they haven't found a voice actor yet for him, and it was just some stuntman playing the physical character. Happens sometimes.

• That's probably contractual and / or a fake-out.  Apparently he was only on-set for a couple of days, whereas Rock and co. were there for MONTHS.

• Here's the thing: Hasbro knows things went wrong with the first movie - because they took a MASSIVE loss on the toyline.  They need that to change this time around, hence hiring a director who's got a pretty good working knowledge of the cartoons and comics (and isn't trying to shoehorn in ideas that he had for other movies, like Sommers did), plus new writers and what's obviously a new production design team that isn't 90% mentally retarded (like the nitwits who worked on the first movie and thought Cobra Commander should look like he did).

• Two words: Larry Hama.

• Godfather II I'll give you... but if we're saying that Ghostbusters 2 was better than the first one, I want to know when we wound up in Bizarro World.

• Look at the scenes with Storm Shadow - there's a second body in the containment tanks that he doesn't break out.  My guess is that's Destro.

• June, you say? *marks date* Consider it done.

• ... gloves featuring too many appendages to have been made for human fingers ...

• I've had that happen to me a lot at ANN lately because I'm in a completely different timezone and their at-midnight postings are 2 in the afternoon for me.

• So. It's people who are shooting other people. With mostly normal guns. Based on some toy merchandise. Sorry, but how exactly is this not just a gimmick and thus more nerd-worthy then the Battleship-Movie or EZ-Bake-Oven-Movie?

• Only if Jimmy Hart is Major Blood!

• It's a semi-reboot anyway, since they killed off a good number of the cast (maybe).

• Yeah, they have a lot of really nice screen shots over there, some with details I completely missed on my multiple viewings of the trailer, the Blind Master (RZA) and James Carville immediately come to mind. The white Cobra Commander threw me at first, I thought it was some sort of viper or something. After studying the pics and reading the thread it all makes sense now. This is going to be awesome, I cannot wait and hopefully this brings GI Joe back into the mainstream where it belongs.

• I'm still goin' through a lot of the posts on there too. Didn't even see the shot with CC in white before. lol

• Man we're all excited for the new movie and speculation comes with the territory. I've read some crazy shit over the last day or so and just thought I'd help get some truth out there as I know everyone who is interested in the movie doesn't necessarily visit GI Joe fan sites. Whoever is in charge did a great job of keeping Cobra Commander a secret all this time, which is rare these days. Most of us thought he wouldn't even be in the movie so the trailer was a massive surprise and blew me away, along with all the other awesome.

• Anyone realize that the sound effect when the first ninja attacks on the mountain side is the knife sound from the beginning of Top Chef? No? Anyone?? >.<

• Disregard what I said before. Another guy gave me undeniable proof that it actually is CC. My bad. Idk why he's not on IMDB though.

• I'm gonna be honest. When you said Rhett Reese for some it didn't even strike me that he was the writer. I knew he was but for some reason I just ignored it without thinking. lol After realizing this information and using the links you gave me and his twitter account I did confirm that it was actually him and now I'm excited again!! Idk why he's not on IMDB though. lol Well played Zombies. Well played.

• I think all the military elements and GI Joe-ness that they wrung out of "Rise of Cobra" and "Renegades" ended up in this movie. On the downside, the others got all the lasers. (Not that I'm against firearms, but it would have been neat to see someone shooting a ray gun from the hip with rotoscoped beam effects and classic 80s sound effects...and then see some poor bastard get his abdomen turned to flying ash as he falls to the ground, shrieking and half-alive, after he gets hit. Best of both worlds, baby.)

• I'm good at makin' short little scripts. lol ^_^

• Yes, but Batman Begins completely rebooted the franchise. They didn't kill most everyone from the prior film and continue the franchise from there.

• Rock is black, black canadian... but he's also Pacific Islander.  Roadblock was only black and from the south.  Being multiracial is not the same as being only one of them.  Obama is black. Yet he is also white.  Insisting on only one of their ethnicities while ignoring the other is wrong.  Saying Obama isn't white is as dumb as saying he isn't black. People complain about race bending on stuff like Last Airbender or Akira, why not here?  Though for once you're going from a more common ethnicity to a less common one. Though really I'm more weird-ed out by the lack of rhyming and raspy voice.

• Ugh, a Seven Nation Army couldn't hold back the vomit from that awful techno remix.  Though it does look like the movie will be mindless fun, but if they screw up a second time, I hear there is a certain jackass director who loves soldiers more than giant robots...

• I love you, man. XD

• But not to you.

• I just don't understand, hasn't everyone here been burned by shit like this before? The first movie sucked balls, and now with the same producers and a cast shakeup, now it's awesome cuz of a 2 minute trailer??  They didn't care about you previously, and probably still don't care.  I would like a study done to see exactly what is the right number of splosions and quips that seperates an anticipated trailer from a dreaded one.

• He's actually an evil pitchman for Infiniti Cars.

• It can't be Scarlett in the yellow suit because she is apparently not in the film at all.

• If you are going to be a twit & yell "first" at least have something to say relevant to the post to follow.

• Yes Koko B Ware is Doc.

• Rattlers were A-10's not choppers.

• so what you're saying is that the big tweeest is that willis only plays willis in movies - and he doesn't even realize that. he walks around the set, thinking he's a good actor, when he's just unwittingly playing himself. i was mnight to direct this!!

• Yeah Scarlett's not in it at all. Most likely it'll be implied she died in one of the attacks.

• I'm guessing that Scarlett, General Hawk, and the Baroness were among the Joes killed in the attacks. (It's weird calling Baroness a Joe but she switched sides at the end of the first movie so whatever) As for Destro Idk.

• Red is a good shoot'em up, if you don't try to compare it with the original material. I guess I am a bit of an Ellis purist.

• Doctor - "Scarlett you're gonna be just fine. Stay in this wheel chair for a few days though. Also I do need to inform you that you will now suffer from RLS." Scarlett - "RLS?" Doctor - "Restless Leg Syndrome." Scarlett - "I should be fine. Thanks Doctor." *3 hours later* Scarlett - "SNAKE EYES!! MY LEGS!! THEY'RE WIGGLING!!!!!" Snake Eyes - ".........."

• If you do a little looking around the site you'll find that it's really him. I had a feeling that's the response I would get so here's his intro thread. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-live-action-movie/124317-hey-guys.html It'll really only take a little browsing to find that he is who he claims he is.

• Not really. It's YouTube. Therefore it could be said to be "Presented By" with the sponsor's name, but the word "exclusive" means "limited to a group of people" or "selective: excluding or intending to exclude many from participation or consideration," or "restricted in use: only available to or used by one person, group, or organization." Look it up.  If they were "the first to be able to show it" then it wouldn't be on fucking YouTube, and it wouldn't be embeddable.

• You mean he's channeling Bruce Willis, the character he plays in every movie?

• I just hope they  come up with a good reason why the Baroness,Scarlett, Destro and General Hawk are not in the movie.

• "How great that we can finally admit Cobra Commander IS in the movie! And he looks great, huh?" That doesn't confirm anything. He just saw the same character we all did and jumped to the same conclusion. It very well could be him. IMDB though does not have him listed in the cast at all. Plenty of Cobra Troopers but no CC. I hope I'm wrong cuz I'd love to see him but it doesn't look like he's in it to me.

• Dont 4get Rocky II, Godfather II, Ghostbusters II

• He posts under the name Muggum at Hisstank.com http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-news-rumors/181095-g-i-joe-retaliation-teaser-trailer-here-19.html#post3116062

• PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!

• Wait, since when was the Rock not a black man? Is this one of those Obama's not really a black president because his mom's white things?

• This trailer was better than the entire first movie.

• All my money, and so forth.

• This must be made.

• GLORIOUS!! LOL

• We got hisstanks here people, hisstanks!

• I'm pretty sure that will be the entire goal of the fight. XD

• <i>"As much as I like The Rock, I just do not see Roadblock in this trailer save for the gun bit. I am glad to see mixed race actors on screen, but racebending a character to fit them in? I do not think that helps. Roadblock was a black guy from the south and they simply did not cast a black actor." </i> Dwayne Johnson is "Afro-Canadian" - his father from Nov Scotia,most likely descended from someone escaping the Southern United States on the Underground Railroad) and Samoan,and if you travel much father south than New Zealand you end up in Antarctica,he spent part of his formative years there.

• I see what you did there. But instead of that, I wanna see Scarlett in a wheel chair doing just fine. Because now that Tatum and Wayans are gone, the only logical place for her to lean on is Snake Eyes' silent metallic chest. Call it trauma, call it a syndrome, I don't give a shit! Just make it happen! XD

• Exclusive in this context means "We are the first to be able to show it before it hits TV, theaters, etc."

• Still, we can't be bitter over a budding franchise's one bad movie to not give it a chance. I mean, think of what'll happen if they pull the plug on Batman immediately after, ugh, "Batman & Robin". It's the price we have to pay for the Nolan-verse Batman, and if the Joes are going to go through that phase as well, well, I say let them. XD

• Dubstep = Tyrannosaurus riding an F-14 to hunt raptors. Yeaaaah...

• Part of me was hoping that the "one man... they could trust" would be Sgt. Slaughter.

• I just found a copy of the White Stripes remix they used... by Glitch Mob.. which I vaguely heard of... Holy shit.. My freaking ears. It started out to too bad.. but I just yanked my damn headphones out.  That's more ear piercing than some damn metal.  I think I just went a little deaf in that ear for a bit..  shit..

• 0_0 Ha. That's horrible offensive.. and also damn brilliant.. [goes back to rocking in the corner contemplating Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic]

• aaaand..  I just realized that Lady Jay was the non-ninja female Joe in those shots. I thought it was Scarlett in half those bits. Lady Jaye normally has tomboy short hair. And upon looking up the cast.. Holy crap.. Scarlett isn't coming back?! Damn. So much for that hope of Snake Eyes and Scarlett

• Outfits that resemble G.I. Joes - check Badass action - check Minimalistic appearance by the acting black hole known as Channing Tatum (thank you gods of cinema)  - Check! We'll I'm mostly happy.

• Also.. why the hell do all these trailers have dubstep soundtracks?  Battleship the other day.. now this.  Dubstep Seven Nation Army? Wat? 

• That looks pretty amazing... but it's have to be more than amazing to make up for how much the first movie ruined the Joe franchise. I see some.pluses... but some minuses too. Most of which comes from painting themselves into a corner in the awful first movie. Oh geez. Where to begin. GI Joe toys and the toon were a huge part of my childhood. I barely recognized any character in the first movie save for Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Though here I think I saw Jinx on the ninja side of things? Now it looks like Wayans and Tatum are thankfully gone? Levitt is gone but Cobra Commander is finally recognizable after that awful and cliche origin story. I'd rather had seen the ridiculous used car salesman than that. Baroness is gone, which is utter bullcrap, but they ruined one of the best cartoon villanesses in that film so best they not ruin her further. As much as I like The Rock, I just do not see Roadblock in this trailer save for the gun bit. I am glad to see mixed race actors on screen, but racebending a character to fit them in? I do not think that helps. Roadblock was a black guy from the south and they simply did not cast a black actor. Then there is the plot. It seems this is the plo from the recent Hasbro toon GI Joe Renegades. That scene of Cobra putting flags up in the white house while the Joes are killed off? Even for GI Joe that seems over the top. I'd rather see Serpentor than this plot line.  GI Joe is on the run and Cobra is in a seat of power within the US government like that recent GI Joe Renegades. Though when I said that to a friend that Cobra secretly took over the US government, my friend said it isn't too secret if they put giant cobra banners in the White House. Sad that a kids cartoon on tv is more subtle and realistic than its live action Hollywood counterpart. Plus, the whole idea of the white house being under control of Cobra? Wow. Are we really going with the whole Obama is a sleeper agent for Muslim terrorists angle? Really? Let's not kid ourselves. They're totally tapping into those bullshit conspiracy theories. I almost want to hope it's the Bush and Haliburton conspiracies, but.. no.. I think it's the Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist ones. Then again, this is leftover from that last turd of a film, so you can't fully blame the current writers for it. Though, at the same time, again, this does look much better than the last one. Hell, it looks like we may have some Scarlett and Snake Eyes romance like the comics. For some reason I'm thinking that's Scarlett in the yellow ninja outfit. Unless that's Jinx. And.. well.. I dunno if the whole Bruce Willis as the original Joe is a bit much for an already crowded movie.. but.. hell.. it's Bruce Willis. Just like how The Rock seems off for Roadblock.. he's still awesome. You know, almost makes up for Tatum as Duke. And getting rid of Barroness and Destro. And.. okay.. it's not going to make up for the laundry list of mistakes that got this series off on a very wrong foot. Not sure if you could fill a whole movie with enough good things to make up for how off they started. I'd love to see GI Joe Retaliation redeem the franchise.. but.. color me doubtful. It certainly looks better, but better might not be enough. It might only be.. half the battle. (what? I had to!)

• The rumor of a certain WWF Hall of Famer cameo only makes this preview that much sweeter, Maggots!!! So excited for this! So many ninjas! The Rock is not fucking around!

• Rob didn't mention the White Stripes remix? :(

• I would pay to see a MLP: FiM movie in which Bruce Willis plays Twilight Sparkle.

• I give this trailer five stars. No, wait, four stars.  Lady Jaye needs her hat.

• I wonder if at the end, we'll get a shot of Channing Tatum's vital signs ending while the Rock says "Hey everybody! Duke's gonna be OK!"

• If you've got literally nothing to do on a Saturday, watch the first one one Netflix instant like I did. Otherwise, just read the Wikipedia article.

• It doesn't really matter for everyday movie-goers.  The character could be named Twilight Sparkle and as long as he's played by Bruce Willis, the general public will buy that he can save the day.

• They're wrong. There was casting information out months ago that confirmed it - and it pretty much tied directly back to the scene in the trailer where CC's in white with Storm Shadow, presumably being busted out of jail. Plus, look at the wide shot of Cobra HQ - the troopers are visible on the left and right of the shot, and look NOTHING like CC.  They're dressed in camo, for one. Additionally, it looks really similar to the new helmet design from earlier this week.

• ladies and gentlemen. we've just found the perfect director for the fourth Transformers movie.

• Yeah, watching it again I noticed that you can barely make out Jinx sliding down the zipline in her red outfit, so YAY! Kamakura looks more feminine than the actor who played the Yellow Power Ranger*, though. * - Yes, that gag was intentional.

• Note to self:  add gloves in the fanart of Dr Braxy... the key word being Accessability to orifices...

• I'd just assume the only man we can trust is Bruce Willis. He doesn't even have to be playing a character.

• Link?

• It's Cobra Commander, Rheet Reese confirmed it on another site.

• So are the Rock and Bruce Willis there to take over the speaking because we can't understand a word Chanum Tatum says?  Because I can't understand a word Channing Tatum says...

• and not a nanobot in sight!!!

• THEY'RE EATING HER! AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO EAT ME! G I JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!!!

• Vosloo is coming back as Zartan, though.

• I honestly don't think Joseph Gordon-Levitt will ruin what amazing cred he's made for himself in the past 2 years by even touching the GI Joe franchise with a 10 foot pole (regardless of how good this movie ends up being)...

• It's a TARP!

• You mean the Cast of <i> The Mummy, The Mummy Returns</i>, and... <i>the third Mummy movie</i>?

• I think it's just a Cobra Trooper. According to IMDB CC isn't in the movie. :-(

• I regret to inform everyone that according to IMDB Cobra Commander is not in this movie. I think it may be a Cobra Trooper with that mask on.

• What... the... fuck...? Am I in a parallel universe?! Somebody pinch me, I think I'm in a parallel universe! Is Schwarzenegger still president? Did Paris Hilton still get eaten by wolves? O_o (In all seriousness, the only problem I have with this is that Cobra Commander's Helmet looks like a B.A.T.S. helmet. But it is something I can get past if this movie doesn't suck as horribly bad as the first one.)
