I never grew up. All my friends know this. I believe we are happier for it. We still like things that are meant to bring joy, there is nothing wrong with that.
I really agree with what you said about wanting to share the love for G.I. Joe with a younger generation. At the convention this year A friend of mine and I were in line to get in. Suddenly we noticed the voice actor that played Duke. Of course my friend and I were stoked to see him. Also in line with us was a boy, he maybe was ten or eleven. We noticed he got excited when he heard my friend and I recognizing the actor. He asked us if that really was Duke. I immediately told him "Yes and you should go take a picture with him, we will save your spot in line" He was too shy to do it on his own so I told my buddy to save my place and I accompanied the boy to go ask Michael Bell if he could take a picture with him. Watching the joy in that kids face as I took the picture was probably one of the coolest experiences at Joe con, where older fans like us can pass on the excitement to the younger generations.
