We’ve seen characters, troopers, technology, and film production methodology discussed throughout this process so far…what could Twitziller possibly talk about next?

How’s that cholesterol? With a property so thickly dripping from 80’s nostalgia, it seems only appropriate to include a vehicle that does the same. All you need is a flatbed and Bruce Willis, and you can do anything! Keep following Twitziller on Twitter for the latest on this, or keep hitting up GeneralsJoes. Previous entries are below.

There are certain things that must be present in order for a film to succeed… obviously a good villain is pretty close to the top of that list. Twitziller picks some of those villains to focus on in today’s update. Check it out below.

I will admit if there is anything I’m not wild about from my first exposure to G.I. Joe: Retaliation so far it would be the Cobra Troopers. Granted, they’re a darn sight better than the Neo-Vipers and Viper Commando’s we got in The Rise of Cobra, but in my mind, Cobra Troopers should be wearing straight blue uniforms and face masks. I certainly understand for the sake of this story, this new look makes sense, and I like the fact that there is a healthy dose of blue throughout the urban camouflage of these troopers.
My minor quibbles about their appearance aside, they certainly seem to be an imposing force serving as the arms of the Cobra cause. Looking forward to seeing them in action.

Nothing brightens up a Monday like a good looking girl in yellow spandex! I suspect that’s really why Twitziller picked today’s reason, but he’ll tell you it’s about “character” or “martial arts” or something. Whatever his motivations for it, check out today’s reason for G.I. Joe: Retaliation greatness.

No, that’s not the Jinx we’re familiar with, but one look at Elodie Yung kicking ass throughout the various trailers we’ve seen leaves no doubt in our mind this will be the Arashikage cousin we’re looking for. From her red blindfold to her mountain top head dive Jinx certainly looks to be a major player. The really interesting thing will be how her appearance blends the military and political angles with the Arashikage ninja one. Certainly appears like she’s going to make a difference in the film.

Hard to believe we’re almost halfway through this countdown already. Fifteen days are now behind us, and only twenty-five left to go. Twitziller brings us the next big reason why G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be great, and it’s a doozy!

Without a doubt one of the most defining moments of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer was the scene of the White House being draped by Cobra flags. That was definitely the “ohh! ahh!” moment not just from the fanboys, but from the press at large, too. No matter who I spoke with, this is the scene that was indelible in their minds. The idea of Cobra’s master plan actually coming to fruition is a fascinating one, and something that Larry Hama often took seriously in the comics. Cobra’s massive political schemes often kept them one step ahead of the G.I. Joe team, and it’s very interesting to see that methodology keep pace here.
The dichotomy between the first two films is truly fascinating. In The Rise of Cobra, Cobra was just a small piece of the huge MARS puzzle, slowly building and waiting to break free of those chains. In Retaliation, the Joe team is decimated, and also, like Cobra, must work to rebuild themselves to compete with a much more advanced, much larger enemy force. These two films would be the perfect build up towards an action-packed third film where both forces are finally fully equipped and fully established. Fingers crossed that the box office is good enough this time around to make that happen.

Another day, another reason to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Yep, even on the weekends, Twitziller is still going strong with every day updates for reasons to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Twitziller brings up a fascinating point above, surrounding the whole 3D hooplah. Director Jon Chu obviously has some experience shooting in 3D, and that seems to have made a big positive impact on the production of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, since they have (reportedly) been able to post-convert this into 3D pretty seamlessly. A lot of that has to do with the shot composition and design by both Chu and cinematographer Stephen Windon. Even throughout the trailers, it’s been evident that there is distance, perspective, and an almost 3D-like thought process behind the film production, even prior to the 3D conversion. All of this makes me more positive that the final 3D work will be all the better and look all the more natural.
