 Re: G.I. Joe Snake Eyes Director talks in progress
You are spot on with the focus group idea. They always hire focus groups for these things, i wonder how you ever get in touch with someone who has been on one. I would like to pick the brain of a focus group member who was on the Rise of Cobra Panel.

As for the talking, Hama told the story by giving 3rd person accounts from the perspective of Hawk, Stalker and Scarlett, eventually culminating with Storm Shadow. He never spoke a word, but the readers were able to follow the story.
Then again, the world was not the same then as it is now. People had the attention span to read, and the imagination to consider "what if?" With virtual reality, 4K HD, and realistic video games, very few people read prolifically, and even fewer possess imagination. |  |  |  |  |
A consultant eh? I doubt anyone at Hasbro or Paramount know who I am. I will take the compliment though. Hollywood studios make formula movies and even re-use scenes filmed from other movies. Bay is known for this. I have researched the comics quite a bit I even wrote ten or more chapters about the comics. The central character is Snake Eyes, no doubt. Once we hit issue ten...

Not to jump off topic but how do we get to read your fanfiction based on the comics?
