The whole DC animated universe was created just to be a kids show, and hopefully sell toys and even get kids into the comics. Hasbro doesn't have the time to commit to building a huge fanbase loyal to their products, which is why they've recreated Joe and Transformers so many times, usually ending just as the fans were beginning to be created. Isn't that just like what's happening with the Modern Era line, dying out to make way for the movie?
Furthermore, the DC animated universe has literally decades of popular comic stories to revamp and retell in the various series. Both Joe and Transformers have so many different incarnations to choose from, that any new story will be bound to step on some fans toes (ie, should many of the Joes be Vietnam vets, or something more modern? / should the Autobots have landed in the 1980's, or now?). Hasbro doesn't care if the show has any literary merit or character development, just as long as there are lots of explosions and action, and comedic relief.
Besides, if a good writer has the choice of working for a DC show that allows for a lot of creative expression, or a Hasbro 30 minute toy commercial that
must
include the upcoming product, which do you think they would likely choose?
I totally disagree.
What do you think G.I.JOE Resolute is?
