They SO Got This Right

A million years ago (okay, last summer), I offered my thoughts on the new G.I. Joe movie here. Now, as anyone who's been around here long knows, I'm a huge fan of the Marvel G.I. Joe comics. Thus, it was hard for me not to fangirl nitpick the movie to death, but all in all, I concluded that we could have done much worse. However, there was one thing in this movie that they got dead right. One homage that is blatantly obvious to me but that would go flying over the head any average movie goer. I've been meaning to document it for ages, and I finally am. A pictorial documentation of this homage follows.
