“You are overly hung up on me having no problem with the body armour suits, even though I don’t like the booster suits.”

It has nothing to do with me being overly hung up on anything. You fail to understand the irony of your opinion. The booster suits you feel are not a fit as we can both argee. But you cant even understand my position on the armor suits. Again these soliders are supose to be the best of the best. Why do they need special armor or booster suits to make them even better? Batman is not a solider, he’s a fighter and theirs a certain element of theatrics in Batmans world. If you want to look at militry tech (beyond Bear attacks) then you can tell their is a SLIGHT differance in the combat uniforms used in the first Iraq war and todays. My point is whats the trouble with using moderen military technology then comic book, sci-fi military tech?

I was willing to give the booster suits a try. But they just dont fit. The Joes in the cartoon NEVER wore armour, so why can’t we have them in combat suits instead? You are overly hung up on me having no problem with the body armour suits, even though I don’t like the booster suits.

As for my Military Info, there is a guy in Canada who has produced a bodysuit that can repell a bear attack (there is a documentary about his project) and at its core is a water sealed teflon plate reinforced bodysuit. This was considered for use by the military but deemed too costly (because lives have a monetary value apparently)

Batman can wear a suit like this because it explains things better than spandex, but the Joes cant. Thats just too much for you to grasp.

Your truly in your own world. I dont know where you get your military info from but I can assure you that 90% of the equipment they test ends up in the trash later. These combat uniforms would never make it to the production line. So now your thinking “Oh but its a movie it doesnt have to be 100% real”. You be right, however your argument about the power suits would be hypocritical then wouldn’t it? Come on? You can accept the body armor in the movie, but you cant accept my opinion of why I not like them? I say I think the power suits are a bad idea and you object to that only later you agree but cant admit that others felt the same way before you? Your the definition of egosentric.

Because I am not wrong, nor have I made a mistake. I dont mind the costumes, or the futuristic body armour. Those are suitable for the translation of the cartoon to film. But the power suits are not.

And yet military does wear body armour, some of the test stuff is looking a LOT like what they are wearing, so it makes sense that a futuristic version of an elite military group would wear something like that.

Joes and Military don’t use Master Chief suits.

Who is pretending? Its your own words that hundreds are reading each day. You just seem to say one thing and say something diffrent later. You can’t even admit your wrong or made a mistake.
“Thats just the point. GIJoe never had super robot suits, nor did they do superpower injections.”

Yeah thats true but the Joe’s never wore skin tight black form fitting suits either. So why is my opinion less valid then yours?

“It just doesn’t fit the kind of thing Joe has always been about” Thats exactly right. The people behind this film simply decided to dump loyalty and good plot material for cool action scenes, and the unfortunate thing is that its going to work. This movies probably going to rake in one of the highest profits this year.

But it took you three words to say it.

Go out of your way trying to be witty while hoping on the bashwagon?

The suits don’t really make sense to me, when I first saw the teaser trailer I thought they were part of Cobra’s arsenal and that the Joes would have to face off against the Cobra B.A.T.S. from the old cartoon and comics. I think that would have been a better direction in my opinion. Also one thing I didn’t like is that Sienna has no russian accent for the baroness. Granted she looks ridicously hot, but I think adding that little ruskie accent would have made it better. Ah well, I will still see it anyways.
