But when we were kids we liked some crazy violent shit. Sorry to beat my own dead horse, but Rambo had a cartoon, and toy line. So did Aliens, Predator, Friday the 3th, Nightmare on Elm.St, Commando, Terminator, and Robocop. All of these movies had an R rating, and some were threatend with an X rating.
Even the Ghostbusters chain smoked, went around calling people "dick-less", and took straight shots of whiskey, and that movie still got a PG rating.
Unlike a lot of stuff I liked when I was a kid, most of those thing I named above still hold value to me as an adult.
Things I liked when I was a kid, like He-Man, and Thunder cats, that only spoke to me on an elementary level, I have left behind for good. God knows why I have come back to GI.Joe. Probably due to the fact that it was left largely to my imagination.
I know we live in a diferent time now, but damn.
I'm still holding out hope for resolute, but I'm done with the comics.
I agree. I'm not saying it couldn't work. or that a more mature version of G.I. Joe would warp our children's fragile little minds. but, at the same time, you can't fault Hasbro for having a different vision or business plan for their property that might be just as good. it is their property, after all. there are many ways G.I. Joe can be done well. this time, they chose this way. why it has to be argued about is beyond me.
but for fan to assert that if Hasbro doesn't do the characters like the way they want, Hasbro shouldn't do them and use others, is silly. what Duke can be is bigger than simply what you have always enjoyed him to be in the past. characters evolve over time, and many of you support characters now that are rather different from when they were created, and yet are adament that Joe characters must remain the same.
