![]() ![]() It’s not high art, nor has a strict “canon” to follow after (like “Twilight” perhaps). With a property like this, the potential money calls the shots. It is nice that they are including things that we might enjoy, but I wouldn’t expect much in that regard, unless they thought it would bring in more money. One of the best parts for them is that they don’t have to pander to us. They are trying to sell movie tickets, comic books, action figures, bedsheets, junior novels, toothbrushes, candy, soundtracks, pez dispensers, and any other conceivable thing they can put the Joe or Cobra logo on. They will toss in things for the fans, but the movie isn’t being made just for us. This is really entertainment by focus group, trying to reach the widest audience possible. This isn’t high art, or one man’s vision. They want to get the majority of the populace that they can to go see it, and if they determined that the “hood” (looking too KKK-ish) could be harmful to that goal, they will drop it in an instant. This whole movie is based off of a long running toy line.Įssentially this whole endeavour is one big marketing project. ![]() They have a new audience to try and suck in, and if HALO is real popular, some HALO-like designs show up. It was a given that they were going to change some character designs. I’ve said this before, but I don’t mind it. This is his first mask, and I assume it’s to heal his scarred face. I would prefer the domed mask or the hood, but I can deal with it. This is a much better look than the Combat Heroes version.
