Hell if Scarlett was around 25 when circa 85' that would make her 50! Never really thought about this...... I would love to hear your thoughts? |

When the battle rages in my house, we are in '80's mode for sure!

Now that brings up a good point........do you guys leave the Joes in your Joeverse with the Marvel history.... that would make most of the joes, especially the original 13 roughly in their late 50's early 60's correct.
Hell if Scarlett was around 25 when circa 85' that would make her 50! Never really thought about this...... I would love to hear your thoughts? You get the feeling of the passage of time, but don't get the overall effects.

Yeah, I agree....... I try to update them but leave them the same!
I just get annoyed when Hasbro messes with filecards and codenames. I wish they hired someone to solely watch over this area of GI JOE. |

Star Wars they have no choice, because Lucas does employ people who's job is to watch continuity and all that. And they still make mistakes.

Seriously, i love the characters as they developed over the '80's way too much to just dump them for a "next generation" reboot. I can appreciate all of the new figures, but i convert them into the classic comic book storyline.

Yeah everyone is stuck in the 24-39 mode. If I deem a character is "older" then he should have a more advanced rank as well. So I've promoted most of the original guys. So for instance Grunt is always like a younger guy to me so I picture him as a 29 yr old Staff Sgt.
Stalker is more at the upper end of the scale as my Sgt Major, with the rest of the Sgt Majors. I treat those guys like 35-39 years olds. I know some men retire at 50 as SGT majors, but I like to think the Joes are all extreme go getters and have shown exceptional skill at every step. So I sort of see it this way: E-4 = 24-26Yrs old E-5 = 25-27Yrs old E-6 = 26-29Yrs old E-7 = 28-32Yrs old E-8 = 30-34Yrs old E-9 = 35-40Yrs old |

Like the ranking = age thing you got going on there. I am going to have to steal that. What did you think of my idea as Benchpress being the son of Rock-n-Roll..... this way they can both exist with the same exact name, same interests, etc.
