As my 'Jem Movie' hangover wears off, reality sets in.
The idea of Jon M. Chu making this film has stirred up some questions and concerns. So, in my favorite form, I will bullet point my concerns.
- Jon M Chu gave us the horrid G.I. Joe film. In it, the Baroness was evil because Duke broke up with her. Cobra Commander was Duke's best friend and the Baroness' brother.
- The Jem mythos has been changed, now she's a teen and an orphan.
- It's set in today's time, not the 80s. That could be interesting and a mess.
- It seems that men are leading this Jem movie... Not sure I like that. It needs gender diversity.
- Is Christy Marx involved? She created Jem, are they talking to her?
- Are The Misfits in the film?
- How will they explain the holograms and Synergy?
- If they are teens, where are they living? Especially if Jerrica is an orphan, who's looking after them?
- Does Jon M. Chu understand Jem?
- How serious will be story be? I hope it's not a comedy.
- Will more writers join the project?
- How far will they stray from the original material?
- Will Kimber be Jerrica's real sister?
- Are the Starlight Girls in the movie?
- What kind of band will Jem and the Holograms be?
I'm sure more questions will come, but I hope Jon and his team are on it.

This sounds like the same concerns I have for Arrow next Wednesday. Is the show called Birds of Prey because it has Huntress and Black Canary in it? Or does this develop a story line where they eventually join forces?
