No. GI Joe is a vehicle for making money. Just because it's something we love doesn't make it any more than that. It sold out from the first episode.

OK, just for the record. GI Joe exists today because the ban on making cartoon to sell toys was lifted. GI Joe was a 30 minute ad and the comics where ads as well.

How did it sell out since the first episode? The cartoon was stupid to begin with! I like the more realistic side of G.I.Joe. The Marvel, DDP, and Image comics. I liked the cartoon when I was a kid and it's still fun, but it is also incredibly far fetched and unrealistic.
I get into the realistic story line and for right now the G.I.Joe ROC film is looking more and more like the cartoon. I am very happy that I can see the newest installment of GI Joe. The cartoon in the 80's was fun and I loved that. I know it was a toy selling gimmick but I didn't care. GI Joe was never realistic it was just fun. That is the reason I fell in love with it. I would never had cared if it was realistic. I live in the real world and if Cobra was real there would never have been a world. All Cobra had to do was nuke a few cities and spread a few biological weapons and it would have been game over. The real world is dangerous and deadly in the GI Joe world no one got killed and no one died. That is the best fantasy.

Aww hey, now THAT'S the spirit!
To be honest, I've been all over Canada, but I've never been to the US until a couple weeks ago (which was utterly astounding to the boarder guards, for what it's worth). Now that I've been there, I don't consider the US to be any different than Canada, except for two things: you sell a lot of liquor and guns in places I've never seen such things sold before, and you still can buy Cherry Pepsi and Vanilla Coke.

Feh, the only international anti-terrorist task force I give a hoot about is Rainbow 6.
G.I.Joe is and always will be an American spec ops team to me.

GI Joe, a real American hero. That says it all.
I love all nations and hope for the best but GI Joe was made as an American team.

By definition, 'selling out' usually refers to only doing something for a self serving reason, typically money. Since the original GI Joe cartoon was created by Hasbro as a tool to sell toys, AKA make money, it has been selling out for years. And I love every second of it.

Hasbro licensed out rights so that it will sell more toys. Why? Because they need to increase share holder value. It is a business after all and they are in the business of making money.
