Sunday, 2 February 2014, was the second day of Chinese New Year and Channel 5, one of Singapore's TV stations, aired G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra as a "Chinese New Year special." On the surface, it looked like a simple coincidence. After the film ended, though, my eyes went wide with realization. G.I. Joe has an abundant of characters (quite a few even have flashbacks); it also has an abundant of cool things for audience to see. The last scene in the film perfectly captures these. The film is about abundance, one of the traditional things related to Chinese New Year.
Now I know why G.I. Joe fits Chinese New Year (and knowing is half the battle).
