Notice how they sarcastically say ‘Real American Heroes?' Strange...I bet Stephen Sommers likes the real American money
Well, considering that it was the Baroness, a villain, who said it, I'm pretty sure that you're just being a grump here.
Still, I'm not seeing anything that's really making me want to see this movie. The whole 'super suit' thing just looks gayer and gayer every time I see it.

How much do you want to bet that her reading of the line is the only time it's used in the film?
And, yes, I'm being a grump.
And, quite honestly, I think using the line sarcastically with a villain is the only way it can be delivered without sounding corny.
And, yes, you are quite the grump.

And that one would be a grumpy, bitter, old man by the name of G-man, because if there is one thing that we all learned from the Insuregents, it's that a person's log in name on the internet is the exact same as his/her real name.

I think you just lost me, doc. What do the insurgents have to do with this?
My point was that in a big summer popcorn flick, having a character make mention of being a "real American hero" is the kind of corny "applause line" that sometimes gets the audience psyched up, if done right.
I was jokingly stating that your real name is actually G-man.
Jebus, it's like posting with my brother's kids.

Inspired by Hasbro's 1980s sci-fi soldier toy line, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra had aspirations of a Transformers-style big-screen resurrection. But after the first trailer premiered in February during the Super Bowl, many fans ready to cheer the heroes' trademark battle cry of "Yo, Joe!" instead found themselves uttering only "Yo …!"
Later trailers and clips failed to make a better impression for the film, which opens Aug. 7 and is directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy).
Complaints were brutal: The green weaponized fungus dissolving the Eiffel Tower looked cartoonish, the suits that send the good guys cartwheeling away from explosions were an Iron Man rip-off, and the early footage lacked the fantasy villains that made the G.I. Joe cartoon so memorable — the silver-skulled arms dealer Destro, and the terrorist Cobra Commander.
The film is designed to set up future films and delivers those unique villains only at the end, so the filmmakers have been reluctant to preview them. But a weak box office could mean the origin story of Cobra also is its unintended finale.
Paramount Pictures has kept the film under wraps for others and will preview it widely only next week, just days before its debut — never a good sign.
If they do have the goods, "the decision to not screen a movie is never a smart move, especially something like this that is very fan-oriented and could get them talking and supporting it," says Alex Billington of FirstShowing.net.
But he acknowledges that the hostile fan talk may have forced the filmmakers into a bunker mentality: "Every time I would write about it, the comments would fill up with people already saying 'This looks like the worst movie of the year.' "
I haven't seen anything in these trailers that is too far from the mark of the cartoon.
The government has even been trying to actually construct a battle suit or some kind of exoskeleton since Heinlein wrote Starship Troopers.
If you want Hamlet go watch Hamlet, but don't expect Hamlet from any GI Joe movie.
yup
What if I don't want Hamlet from any GI Joe movie, but watched the trailer, think it looks shitty, and won't be seeing it? Is that okay, or does it make me a sheep? Or should I be asking Rex since he's the authority on sheep?

No, rex is an expert on wool, not sheep. That noxycotin guy was an expert on sheep.
