but the movie obviously wants something new and different.
i guess they did not want to use the hood mask because of the KKK image. for some reason they dont use the steel mask.
CC did wear a sort of battle helmet for a while. something that made him look like a retro storm trooper.
the toy looks like a see through mask. but its just the toy probly because they could not do a full mask.
the pic on the card looks like a steel mask of sorts.
but you know what..
i actuly like this image
lets take a step back a moment.
point one
this image is very scarey and menacing
CC should look evil, and here he does.
i mean the mask has fangs in the mouth!
how cool is that?
point two.
they probly want to distance the movie from the cartoon and comics and have something new.
point three
heth ledger did not look like the joker in the comics and he rocked the part
terance stamp did not look like Zod from the comics and he did a great job.
do i really need to go on?
i dont think so.
i am actuly looking forward to this movie.
im excited about it.
christopher eccelston is Destro.
and hes a good actor and does a great job of creating a great bad guy.
allthough so far hes not in a destro mask.
i forsee an argument similur to when dr doom was not allways in the mask in the Fantastic four movie.
but so far i like the trailers and i cant wait to see it.
come one people the movie isnt even out yet.
wait till its out and then
if, and mark you i said if, its bad complain.
if not just enjoy it.
The best given example in the comic book universe of film adaptations is Baman Forever & Batman & Robin.
Notice how the style of the films are on the 2 films compared to that of say Batman & Batman Returns, they had a dark tone and were taken seriously for their times.
Batman Forever & Batman & Robin were just plain out campy and gay, 2-face's style and look, Riddler prancing around in a emerald green suit with cheesy lines, Mr Freeze's campy style and Batgirl being related to Alfred and the god damn cheesy lines.
That is campy
Just like this suit...its gay, and he looks like you can't take him serious due to his design, he looks like Jason X's & Mr Freeze illeigitmate child.
I agree Fallen, the whole character design is a joke
P.S (No Offence though)
I'm confused who is the gay porn film maker, maybe Nathan wants a starring role?
Campy is were something gets to comic book gayish (best way i can put it)
In which the best example is in general the style of change from Batman (1989) and Batman Returns to the next 2 Batman films which was Forever & Batman and Robin.
They took it too campy taking out the serious element that Batman contains, which means you find it very difficult to take the film as a serious production in your own perspective.
But then again i never watched the cartoon series that much as you guys, but i do remember that CC did change from time to time, but this does look awful.
But come on people let's be real here, are we really going to see the film to judge the character concept designs or if their not wearing the right fashion from the previous source material.
Ok to be reasonable yeah, it does fuck you off when something is changed from a source material, but people are going to see this because it looks like an awesome action popcorn flick, not to see if Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes are wearing matching socks and boots.
But i'm just hoping this film doesn't get too campy, like Batman & Robin as Vis stated
the batman and robin's toyline for example.
nathan doesn't get it, and saying that he looks like something out of a horror film should actually be a complement seeing as how he's the big bad
It's a cool design. Filmmakers change the looks of characters to better suit the movie. If this was a more adult-oriented G.I. Joe, then they would have gone with the hood, but with a director like Sommers you know this is gonna be a strict action movie with a lot of "BOOM" and "BANG BANG."
