Thats a bit of a reach if your trying to critizize the movie based on that... 350676[/snapback] I'm not trying to critizize it based on that, I'm a huge fan of X-men and looking foward to the movie... it's just the association my head made... it reminded me of Advent Children...

The scene in the X-men 3 trailer when all the mutants are gathered around Mags in the woods and he's all like "They say they are trying to cure the world, well I say we are the cure!" really reminds me of a smilar scene in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, anyone else notice this?

Well I got the Kaiyodo Gunbuster the other day... cause it was cheap... yeah it's not a great figure and I have trouble with the legs but it kinda looks cool on my desk and it was only 30 CDN so that's not too much.

Wow, lucky you! Too me the "they're not demon things" is not all that critical... I really like what I've seen in the trailers with a bunch of the film being in first person that alone should make it an interesting experience.

Sakura Taisen 1 and 2 port... the reason I'm getting a PSP.

I'm not so sure what's wrong with using elements from the Sentinel's storyline it wasn't ALL Garbage...

havn't been checking this thread for a while but that comic actually looks good... I'm really suprised. And looking at it they used a lot of the movie styling so it looks like they gave enough room for the movie to be used after all. Yay Sent Movie!

Huh it didn't seem to me like she didn't know how too... she still seemed intrested in mechanics those just seemed to me to be her mechanic friends. Oh well maybe it's cause I saw the live action first that I like it eventhough it's different.

I love the YUA live action series... yeah it's not quite the same as the anime and manga but I thought it was fun in a slightly campy way.

I found the DC controller fit comfortably in my hand... sometimes I'd have trouble with the analouge stick but not often. And you know in Japan you STILL see the odd DC game come out... Sega stopped supporting it but a few third parties kick out the odd game here and there... it's heartwarming. Last offical Sega release was Sakura Taisen 4... I remember when we all thought that would be the last Sakura Taisen game too.

Ummm Luna's Japanese name is Luna ^^; And yeah that was kinda obvious... there was also the two talking cats from that one Mecha from SRW... I think it had it's own anime too... Cybuster? is that right? Anyway I saw the first two episodes of it... I have the third on my computer but I've kinda lost interest in Top2.

Sakura Taisen is the reason I own a Dreamcast (it's also the reason I own a Japanese PS2). Soul Reaver, Powerstone... so many fun games. It's been unhooked since I took it to animethon, I'll hook it back up tonight and play some ST1. Aa Sakura Taisen 1 best game ever IMO.

Oh he's probably my favorite too ^^. But Hawk and Serpentor come in as close seconds. Yeah there's a lot to Snake-eyes but I still think he's slightly over-rated. Yes the mountain thing was cool. But last time Storm Shadow was good, when he was in command of the Ninja force wasn't he at that time also leader of the clan? Honestly I wouldn't expect anything less then Storm Shadow leading the clan as he and Jinx are the only blood members of the clan on the team.

Well you have me on the "It's Storm Shadow..." You know he is one of my two favorite members of the Joe team and one of my two favorite Cobras... all in all one of my three favorite characters ^^. I only read the first issue of MA I and didn't think much of it but... you know cliche or not MA II sounds interesting. Anyways reading the bios on the 4Kids Website... sounds like the origin for Snake-eyes and Strom Shadow is going to be a lot different. Here's Snake-eye's bio. "SNAKE EYES spent his youth studying with masters of over thirty martial arts forms. He began his covert ops work in a mainstream intillgence division and was quickly spotted because of his mastery of ninja disciplines and his uncanny ability to move undetected. He was the most sought after operative for missions that required someone who could infiltrate secured areas that no one else had ever been able to access. During one misson, he used his specific knowledge to join a powerful ninja security force and get inside the compound of a deadly gang. He was chosen for the Sigma 6 team for his superior martial arts skills and knowledge of ninja organizations." Honestly this bio just sounds stupid... and I'm not sure how much if reflects the actual show... but yeah... if he studied martial arts as a kid then became a spy... it's quite a bit different from any incarnation of Snake-eyes we already know ^^.

I guess I'll have to see if I can pick up Master and Apprentice II, I didn't think number 1 was all that great but number 2 sounds more interesting.

Well some pages... the whole thing dosn't exactly seem kiddy to me... yeah the first couple pages would kinda give that impression though. I'm not overly fond of Arashikage Showdown, but I don't think it's fair to say it's kiddie or dismiss it without reading it. Oh and in the Silent issue did you miss the part where... A) Storm Shadow had not completely broken free of the Scanner yet and needed Snake-eyes to preform the mindset? or B) that Cobra Commander brought along a portable scanner and just gave Tommy another dose? So his actions there shouldn't add to the Joe's fears towards them... To me their mistrust of Storm Shadow was unjustified. (But then again, he is one of my favorite characters so that might just be me).

I know Ninja Battles is outside the original continuity where did I say it was not. Arashikage showdown was ment to appeal to the anime crowd... And deffinitly ties in more with the DDP cont. then with the Ninja battles, and did you read it? it wasn't exactly kid friendly... unless lots of death and a guy pissing himself cause he's so scared the Arashikage are going to mow him down too is typical child's fare. And I'm certain in the original comics when Stalker, Hawk and Scarlett are trying to piece together Snake-eyes and Strom Shadow's story (meanwhile Snake-eyes his with the Softmaster). Stalker mentions that Storm Shadow offered Snake-eyes a place in the family buisness before, his tour of duty ends. Umm where did I say it was otherwise I know all this... Although I see nothing in Arashikage Showdown that disqualifies it other then the fact that Jinx is off the team and acting as a mercenary. Where did I clame that GI Joe Reloaded and Ninja Battles or the 3D cartoons or Sigma 6 are original continuity? Cause I know full well they are not. oh and you forgot Snake-Eyes declasfied.

Sorry for the double post here... but thinking about what you said... you're talking about Sgt Savage and the Screaming Eagles. New Joes brought in... Cobra Commander was still there as he had a short lived Arm's deal with the bad guys... new Joes and Hawk, Lady Jaye and Doc were command staff. Only one episode made wich came with the figure and stuff... and yeah the main character was a Captain America ripp off! but still it had that whole passing the tourch idea.

I disagree with your intepratation there. Storm Shadow's offer for Snake-eyes to join the "Family Buisness" were made before he saved Snake-eye's life, before Snake-eye's family was killed... before anything pitiable happened to Snake-eyes. He invited him because they grew a bound of freindship. Havn't read teh M&A comics or the Declasified stuff yet. Anyway I don't quite understand why the Joes distrust Storm Shadow so much... I mean he was brainwashed the second time he worked for Cobra and he more then worked off the first time (which was not without mitigating circumstances... True betraying your country so you can find out who murderd your uncle isn't exactly right... but it is understandable). I can't get why Jinx of all people seemed to hold stuch a deep hatred for her cousin in Arashikage Showdown... I mean he was under Dr. Mindbender's control... anything he did in the last few issues in Marvel and during the DDP run wasn't really his fault.

Well I had a couple Captain Power toys, I never had the ships or any of the stuff that turned the show into a game ^^. And I enjoyed it pleanty.

I know it's seperate I mean follow the conceptual ideas of Ninja Battles... I mean there is going to be some kinda origin for Stormshadow in the series... some reason why he works for Cobra and why he's got a big grudge against Snake-eyes... and I just hope it's nothing like that. no it's really not that confusing.

Oh wow Skull there is some interest I'd certainly pay for it (maybe not a lot). I really love Captain Power, it's one of my favorite shows of all time. I remember watching it every saturday as a kid. I mean come on think about it... It was american SENTAI! And it was great.

ACK! I just downloaded the video that comes with the GI Joe Ninja Battles playset. what was that? Storm Shadow thinks Snakeyes killed the Hardmaster? The Hardmaster is Storm Shadow's father instead of uncle? Man that was crap. I hope the anime isn't following that storyline (though it probably is).

Unless of course we're talking about Tunnel Rat from the movie in which there was no mention of him being a Vietnam vet... he was just a guy with an annoying voice who really didn't do anything. Edit: I do like the DDP comics but Red Shadows wasn't very good... and man if that actually finnished off Serpentor I'll be pissed. So far America's Elite's not that great but I'm gonna keep reading and see what they do with it.

Huh intersting but they also lost the name General Hawk which is why he became Tomahawk and the Baroness which is why she became the Baroness Anastasia (and when a reader pointed out her name had been De'Cobray in the old comics she back the Baroness Anastasia De'Cobray)... and I think there was one more name they lost the rights too.. but I forget what. And Devil's Due wasn't sure if they could keep them which is why they slightly changed the characters names.
