I'm assuming you believe the Dark Knight is equally as bad as the new G.I. Joe direction because Batman in body armor couldn't be any farther from his original incarnation. if not, you are again awfully convenient about what change is and isn't acceptable.
paulpratt, this was more what I was talking about in regards to trying to relive your childhood through your children, not simply getting them cool toys.
LOL. Han shoots first. Is that really the best you can come up with? Come on man, I am talking about the basic backstory of each character and you're talking about a specific scene from a movie. You might have had a point if Lucas had done something like making Ben the father of Luke and Leia instead of Anakin or having Padme give birth to two boys instead of a girl and boy. He didn't though. Everything in Episodes 1-3 (with the exception of Jar Jar not being beheaded by some out of control battle droid tank) happened just as we expected it too. Anakin started off good and gradually fell to the dark side. You call him a whiny bitch but that bitch and his troops took out the jedi temple, killed children, dismembered one of the most powerful jedi in the galaxy, and supposedly hunted the other Jedi to extinction. All of this and he somehow survived having all of his flesh burned off. Sorry but I'd say he was a pretty imposing, villainous figure by the end of the third film and Lucas did a great job of setting him up to be that evil villain we grew up watching. The same cannot be said with respect to GI Joe.
How will someone explain to their child, who might happen to see an original cartoon episode, that the dial tone they see had a sex change operation in the new comics? Sorry son but it's 2009 and I think it's time you learn to be a little more tolerant of these alternative lifestyle choices. Blah. If for nothing more than consistency sake, the basic backstory on established characters should never be changed. Doing so makes the whole line seem far too incongruous and over time causes folks to become more and more detached.
Oh and I really am not a big Batman fan so I couldn't care less whether the movies of today match the early TV shows or movies. Hell, I don't think I was even alive when when that show was on TV. I also never got into the whole super hero comic book craze as a kid so, /shrug.
