Joe. In any case, Andrew Koji was cast as Storm Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This got me thinking about Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe: Retaliation, played by Lee Byung-hun. Here is the thing, I only remember two things about this movie. The mountain swinging fight scene where Storm Shadow is in what looks like a bodybag and the wet shirtless Lee Byung-hun scene, not for the suspected reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the&nbsp;<em>first time I noticed<\/em>&nbsp;a man being objectified on screen. He wasn&#8217;t just shirtless. I mean, he fell out of a tank of water, so obviously, he was all wet. Then shockingly, another dude ripped his shirt off. It was like &#8230; cue Marvin Gaye&#8217;s Let&#8217;s get it on kind of scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"G.I Joe Retaliation - Cobra Commanders&#039;s Escape\/Germany HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N4lWvcSjbbQ?start=175&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How is this not the same thing as Flashdance?

It was like a horror movie shower scene type of thing. I was legitimately confused for at least 20 seconds before laughing hysterically, then going back and watching it again. It was so gratuitous, I googled this actor, and he is shirtless a lot. It&#8217;s a thing, like Kevin Costner&#8217;s butt making a cameo in all his movies. I can totally see why, if I worked to have those abs\u2026 jk I would have nice private abs \ud83d\ude33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; The fug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marvin Gaye - Let&#039;s Get It On\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x6QZn9xiuOE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched Snake Eyes a while ago, which is a spinoff from G.I.
