I hope everyone is enjoying these, because we’ve still got 35 left to go!
As we lead up to the release of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film, Twitziller continues to count down the reasons why the film is going to be fun. Next in line!
#36:
Again, I feel like Twitziller and I are on the same page here. High tech equipment has always been one of the hallmarks of G.I. Joe vs. Cobra, and while we certainly got our fair share of that in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the stuff we’re getting in the second film seems much more in line with our plastic universe over the past three decades. Motorcycles that turn into rockets… I mean come on!
Between that bike, Cobra Commander’s personal gunship, the Water Moccasin, and of course the immortal HISS Tanks, these Hollywood renditions of our plastic toys seem much more lifelike and much more like our ten year old imagination made “flesh”.

Yippie Ki-Yay, mother….
I know I used the whole mother flocker line when Bruce Willis was first announced as Joe Colton in the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation film, but since he’s..well.. totally bald, I’m not sure that makes sense. This has been one of the figures that many folks out there have been waiting on pins and needles for. I mean, who doesn’t want a 1:18 scale Bruce Willis/John McLane figure for their G.I. Joe universe?
Even with mostly reused parts, the eerily accurate head sculpt really brings the character to life. Check out the full review on my G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page, or follow the link below:

Thanks to both Film Music Reporter and Varese Sarabande we have some details on the upcoming musical score for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. The score is slated to be released on April 2nd, shortly after the film’s theatrical debut, however the track list should be available within “the next couple of weeks”. The film is being scored by Henry Jackman, also known for his work on X-Men First Class, Wreck-It Ralph, and Kick Ass.
Along with details about the release, a short snippet of the story was released as well. Not many details that we don’t already know, but you can see that paragraph of details below. I suppose some of these details could be considered spoilers, but nothing too drastic.
Check out the details below:
“Music From The Motion Picture
G.I. JOE: RETALIATION
Music Composed by
Henry Jackman
(Wreck-It Ralph, X-Man: First Class, Kick-Ass)
G.I. JOE: RETALIATION features the G.I. Joe Team coming into a conflict with Zartan, Storm Shadow and Firefly, all serving under the newly released Cobra Commander. Zartan (who is still impersonating the President of the United States) frames all G.I. Joe operatives as traitors to the United States, exterminating most of them and leaving a small group of survivors. Zartan and the Commander now have all the world leaders under Cobra’s control, with their advanced warheads aimed at innocent populaces around the world. Badly beaten, outnumbered and outgunned, the Joes make a desperate plan to overthrow Cobra Commander and take back the world, with their secret black operation called the “Second American Revolution,” which involves the return of the original G.I. Joe General Joseph Colton (Bruce WIllis). Also starring Dwayne Johnson, with Channing Tatum, Arnold Vosloo, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, and Lee Byung-hun reprising their roles from G.I. Joe: The Rise Of C.O.B.R.A.
The high-octane score is from action veteran Henry Jackman, who provided the sonic punch for Kick-Ass and Wreck-It Ralph.
Paramount will open G.I. JOE: RETALIATION nationwide on March 28.”

Continuing his roll over on Twitter, Twitziller has come up with Reason #37 why G.I. Joe: Retaliation will rock as we march on towards…well… March. The film hits March 29th, a mere 37 days away.
#37:
One of the most unheralded G.I. Joe characters in the 30 year history of the brand, Flint has always been one of my “go to” guys when it came to my G.I. Joe roster. Sure, he got some great face time in the Sunbow animated series, but I never felt like his character was captured perfectly. To me, the indelible vision I have of Flint is the sequence from G.I. Joe #53, where a squad of Cobra Eels is sneaking in to sabotage the PIT, and as Flint tells Lady Jaye to run for it, he dives head first into the entire squad, taking them on hand-to-hand.
Flint’s battle prowess is only matched by his intelligence, being a Rhodes Scholar, and I’m excited that he appears to be a major player in G.I. Joe: Retaliation. I’ve enjoyed DJ Cotrona in other things I’ve seen him in, and I’m looking forward to his take on Dash Fairborne.

As one might suspect with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the current WWE champion, and also the feature lead in the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation film, it only makes sense for World Wrestling Entertainment to play some role in promoting the movie.
In fact, both Adrianne Palicki and DJ Cotrona were at the Elimination Chamber PPV on Sunday night, and also appeared in WWE Raw last night to promote G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Just how much this promotion will impact ticket sales is unknown, but with The Rock’s huge following (both within wrestling circles and outside of them) it can only help.

Keeping up the daily tradition, Twitziller has posted another reason to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation on his Twitter account! The latest reason can be seen below:
#38:
The term sandbox can mean many different things, and I love the dichotomy here. It truly is a sandbox in every sense of the word. Having the latest G.I. Joe story take place at least partly in a desert makes sense considering the global military landscape, but it also makes sense from the perspective of each of our 10 year old selves slamming our own action figures around in our sandbox. While most of us smacked our Snake Eyes and Destro action figures together in the sand, Director Jon Chu is doing what we only dreamed of. Taking these toys and making an actual world out of them. Let’s see what he can do.
