Should GI Joe be portrayed as being more Sci-Fi, Military, or a combination of both?
What's your opinion and why? Last edited by CV2.0; 11-19-2009 at 10:24 PM.. |

It obviously started out as just military, but with the ARAH line they kind of went off the deep end. I always wished it was less sci fi, but it is what it is. I think thats why I always like the older "normal" guys. Rock n' Roll, Clutch, Grunt, etc.. I still don't know why they needed to make Snake Eyes a ninja. I thought he was the coolest in the beginning. Back when he was just a commando, with a secret past. To me they could have stopped at the sci fi with CC's mask. Which ironically is probably not that big of a stretch now days.

Both, but I think it's best when it's somewhere between 60-75% military and 40-60% sci-fi, and most of the "sci-fi" aspects are with Cobra (e.g. experimental or conceptual weaponry, for the most part, and weird science experiments like Serpentor).

When I say it started out that way, I meant the original 12's. None of that sci fi BS showed up until the mid 70's. I get that even the first wave of ARAH had sci fi in it. However, it also had some plain old soldiers. Those became more and more rare as time went on. No need to be a polly piss pants. -13 Last edited by Trooper13; 11-15-2009 at 05:24 PM.. |
