This. You've got about a half a century's worth of mythos to dig through and truth be told, no one can really update or bring that stuff back; all you can do is add to it, give the new generation something to remember, like they did us. Most of you guys grew up with ARAH. My parents grew up with the Adventure Team (and still has his!). I grew up during the "dork age" of the 90s, and jumped in during JvC, SpyTroops, and VvV, and I feel those lines, in spite of their flaws, were just as good as anything from the "vintage" era.
It is impossible to reconcile the countless story lines, teams, eras, etc. Not one was better than the other because truth is that everyone thinks the ones they grew up with was the best and the ONE TRUE JOE. In 15 years, those who grew up with JvC and such will take the place of the Vintage era, relegating the old guard to the ranks of the Adventure Team. But this is not a bad thing, contrary to popular belief.
What matters is that, through it all, there has and always will be a community of fans who, out of camaraderie and the kindness of their hearts, have shared information, ideas, opinions, and as seen as of late, emotional support. Joe cannot and will not die, no matter how weird it gets, no matter how many things get "cancelled", because 1) it'd be incredibly stupid for Hasbro to do so, and 2) as the Firefly fandom has shown, people don't let sh!t go.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGG GH!!!
I feel where you're coming from...I just wish we had more tolerance in the Joe fandom, or at least more on the Tank.
