G.I. JOE vs. TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN: It All Comes Down to Who Has The Redhead
by E. Christopher Clark | Monday, June 22, 2009
There’s a new trailer out for G.I. Joe today, and Harry over at Ain’t It Cool News says that he is now more stoked for this film than he is for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This probably has a lot to do with the mixed reviews that AICN has been getting for the Transformers sequel, but I think I know the real reason why Harry is coming around. And here it is:
Sexy redhead > shape-shifting robots
Seriously! I mean, I was a card-carrying Transformers addict as a kid, and couldn’t have given two shits (maybe one, but not two) about G.I. Joe. But give me a movie featuring Rachel Nichols as a redhead versus a(nother) movie with a non-speaking, non-Volkswagen Bumblebee any day. I mean, yes, Megan Fox is hot. But there was never a stinkin’ love interest in Transformers (unless you count Arcee in the animated movie)! C’mon! At least the guys behind G.I. Joe are being true to the source material.
Right?

There seems to be a lot of love for the Baroness out there right now, but I’m still a Scarlet man myself.
Jeff Hugo says:
Lol, yes Scarlett owns Bumblebee anyday.
E. Christopher Clark says:
Now… Scarlett owning Bumblebee—actually owning him—that would be an idea. I’d go to that crossover in a heartbeat.
Jeremy Couturier says:
As a kid i was all about Scarlet…but now all I can think of is how Megan Fox should have been cast as the Baroness. Sexy time!
