The GI Joe movies might be classed as a sort of backwards cousin of the mainline of comic book movies, they were inspired by funny pages, so you reject them at your peril. There are far more reasons to dislike them than that anyway.

In the agenda to make on-set explosions and effects look more impressive and believable without too much distracting CGI, practical effects props have become increasingly dangerous.
