Everytime they change the original formula to something so unrecognizable, it doesn't do nearly as well. This isn't just true for GI Joe but for every franchise. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, the more unrecognizable it becomes the less successful it is. So why you think it is for some reason good that GI Joe be all about change is beyond me. Why not just come up with any random arbitrary military characters, call them Moe Larry and Curly, and slap a GI Joe logo on them? I mean they have already made Storm Shadow, who is supposed to be a ninja, look like he's a member of Menudo.
