In previous posts, I showed you Shipwreck, Roadblock, and Hawk as they SHOULD have looked in the movie G.I. JOE the Rise of Cobra. Today, I'll show you Duke and Scarlett as they should have looked.
It would have been so simple and would have pleased so many fans but alas, that ship has sailed and we are left to our own creative devices.
And now, I present a little web comic that I put together before the movie was released. (I thought they were going to pair Duke and Scarlett.) I hope you dig it.

Duke's last line is based on a magazine article where Channing Tatum said he told his agent that he wanted to play Snake-Eyes instead of Duke in ROC. I actually kind of wish he did because then we wouldn't have had to endure his weird Ebonics speech pattern throughout the movie.
Not much to these guys but a head swap, some extra gear, and some very careful painting. But the end result is pretty dramatic. Contact me if you'd like to commission one for yourself. Until next time, I remain The Insidious One.

Love the details on the Duke and Scarlett figures...another amazing custom.
ReplyDeleteI can't blame him for wanting to play Snake Eyes, he's a far, far, more interesting character than Duke and he always will be. Although... a lot of Snake Eyes' back-story was given to Duke in the movie... which pretty much proves just how boring and bland Duke is. If you have to take someone else's background (Snake Eyes, the most popular) and give it to someone else (Duke)... then what the hell is he doing there in the first place???? He wasn't even the original team leader, Hawk was.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love the last few pictures... and Scarlett is right, he's a creep. You make us Snake Eyes/Scarlett fans proud!
Thanks for the comments, gang. Here's to hoping the geniuses in Hollywood soon realize that they don't need to reinvent the wheel...Larry Hama gave them all the material they could ever need and all they need to do is follow it!
